I'm the loser who rereads everything in the thread 8| Sorry, but what is below is completely random.
While looking over the update about the South Rijon campaign... I thought up a little theory on WHO the champion is...
Is it perhaps Karpman? In his own update it's said that he's strong, trains all the time, and can cleanly knock off Rijon's Elite 4. Well, if he's that strong, AND CONSIDERING Merson City is the bridge to South Rijon, wouldn't it make sense if he were the South Rijon Champ? XD Just a thought.
