Video from Indigo Plateau! [backdated to Dec 18]

*The video starts off with a series of clips of pokemon battles strung together, all featuring Sion and his team. The first features Dusk the absol, landing a powerful Night Slash against a bronzong belonging to a masked man. The second, Valiant the gallade faces off against a ninja's toxicroak. Then Valiant is seen again, this time up against a machamp belonging to a rather strong-looking trainer. Following that, a clip of Just the lucario readying a powerful punch against a silvery-haired woman's absol.

Finally, (and perhaps most importantly) the background music changes to a battle theme few if any have heard before, the video this time showing a clip of Sion's glaceon Jina readying a blizzard against a certain caped dragon master's dragonite, as a hailstorm swirls all about the battlefield.

Then, after the montage fades out, is Sion with a smug grin, a certain dark-haired mage doing his best to avoid drawing attention in the background while Sion holds up a fancy-looking certificate.*

I suppose if anyone else wants to know what the Elite Four have on their teams without finding out first hand, Ryner and I could certainly spoil the surprise.

Ah, and I have a copy of the recordings of Ryner's battles, too, if anyone's interested.

*aaaand he's turning it off before Ryner can have a chance to protest*

Do you know if they might have elite teams of their own, for rematches? That would offer a good opportunity to show us exactly what they're capable of, when they've no need to give us a fighting chance.

They didn't mention anything of the sort, but I suppose it's possible. Perhaps if they do, they're waiting to unveil it until more have successfully completed their challenge as it is?

That might be it. Or they've decided to wait another six years to test our resolve and staying potential, perhaps.

I certainly hope not...

*...although he honestly might not mind staying here another six years, so long as Ryner's around, really*

...It's not how I'd choose to spend my years either, but there are worse fates.

Well, at least time spent here has no bearing on what passes back home.

*which is the only reason he's been able to, y'know, let himself enjoy any of this...*

Thankfully. Otherwise, I'd have gone mad years ago.
