"I didn't know that the age of the trainers who had to start their journey could be changed. I thought it was fixed.", commented Axel.
"No, it is not fixed. Actually, it had been thousands of years after the end of the ancient era that the age had changed. It was believed that during the ancient era, the age was lower than 10 years old.
But after the peace was achieved, the age was brought up to 13. The people would start to panic now.", said Steven.
"But this had to be done. The common people should also get serious. Here we are doing everything in our power to save the world and they are doing nothing.", said Lance.
"Yes, but they didn't know much unlike us."
Axel looked at Agnes who looked to be very happy.
"Why are you so happy?", asked Axel.
"Brother, I am going to be 11 years old in 3 months. I can finally become a certified trainer.", said Agnes.
He had never thought of this. His plan for his sister was simple. She still had 2 years left to become an official trainer.
So, in these 2 years, she would be attending day care and taking care of it. In these 2 years, she will come to love the day care and forget about being a trainer.
But how could he know that the rules would be changed so suddenly?
"Guys, we need to start the school project as soon as possible.", said Axel.
"Haha, you just want your sister to be a part of it.", teased Lance.
"That is not the only reason. Since the age has changed from 13 years to 11 years, then there would be a lot of changes.
New schools might also be opening up. We cannot be left behind this."
"What do you need?"
"The first thing I need from you guys is a teacher. I will handle the land buying and selecting the place.", said Axel.
"I might have someone that could be perfect for the job but he is a bit different than normal teachers.", said Steven.
"Just get him here with me. I will have to go for a tide battle very soon. I want to interview the teacher before this. If you have any other suggestions, then do let me know."
Regarding the teacher problem, Axel also asked others like Anglea from the Venu family and others about it.
They also gave him some recommendations and very soon Axel had 5 teacher recommendations that would be arriving very soon in 2 days.

Tring… Tring.. Tring… Tring..
"Sir, our next tide battle has been decided. The royal family had sent us the letter regarding it.", said Hector over the phone.
"Oh, that is good. Is it unfair like the last time that the league did to us?", asked Axel.
"No sir. They are very fair."
"When will the tide battle start?"
"After a month most likely, plus minus 7 days."
"That is not a lot of time to prepare. Tell all of our members to reach that place. The commanders will also move tomorrow and then you will set up preliminary traps and talk with the people regarding the tide battle.
What is the place that we are going to defend?"
"The place is very famous. It is Lavender town. But we are not the only ones doing the defending. We will just be protecting one side and we get to choose the side. But there are some complications with the town.", said Hector.
"Yes, I know about the complication. Don't worry. I will be there in a week. Just get the team ready and when I come, I will need a thorough report of the town.", said Axel.
###
Seeing a serious face of Axel, Lance asked what happened and Axel told them about the new tide battle mission.
"Lavender town is covered 3 sides by hand and one side by the sea. It is a small town but it is believed to be the biggest graveyard of the Kanto region.
This graveyard might be a problem. I cannot tell for sure because it had not been confirmed but locals say that there are a lot of ghost-type Pokemons and literal ghost roaming around the town.", said Lance.
Axel also said, "A tide battle would make them irritating and this might not be good in the tide battles. This is just a rumor because the last tide battle that they faced was 100s of years ago."
"You need to be careful."
"Yes, I will do it."

Even though Axel was not even 20 years old, he was busy all the time. As of right now, he needs to interview those 5 potential teachers and select one of them. He was also busy with Noah in selecting the land for the school.
Axel believed that one day the school might be one of the pillars of humanity. So, he wanted a big land enough to build a city on it.
"Most of the place near the Hakone city had already been bought by us to be used for day care and other things.
If you want to set up a school, then you can buy this land and this land. Both of them are near Hakone city."
As of right now, Axel with Noah are with a real estate agent. This agent was famous in this part of the world. They had connections everywhere.
"Isn't this a nice place? The forest is quite big and it might even turn into a bustling city in the future. It is very big and just as you want, one side of the land is covered in the sea. If there is anything that you like, then do tell me."
The place was perfect. It was actually a part of the forest that was connected to Hakone city. The land was very big and it was everything that he needed. Still, he was not quite satisfied. He wanted this land to be a treasure filled with resources and that makes it easier for Pokemons to train and rise up in ranks.
But he knew that such a thing was not possible if he wanted it to be near Hakone city. There was a reason why he wanted the day care and school to be near Hakone City. He was actually thinking about the future.
In the future, he might not be able to protect Hakone city every time. If the school and day care flourishes, then they will help Hakone City in multiple ways.
"Ok, we will take this place. But what is the name of this place?", asked Axel.
"The place is unnamed, sir. You can name it yourself.", said the real agent with a spark in his eyes.
This was a big piece of land and the cost of the land was 2 trillion Poke dollars. The agent was going to get a lot of commission from this.
The size of the land was also very impressive. Of course, the land consist mostly of forest and since the forest was quite dangerous, the price could be further decreased to 1.5 trillion Poke dollars but Axel had another offer.
"I will pay the 2 trillion dollars, but I will not be paying any taxes and any sort of things. This land will only belong to me and no humans will be allowed to come here. That is my condition.", said Axel.
Axel knew that if even he bought the land, the government might come here to collect taxes or they might come here to monitor the place. Axel didn't want that. He wanted his privacy.
"Sir, I don't think that this is possible."
"Oh come one. Give it a try. I am the first knight of the Kanto region. I must have at least some privileges, right?", asked Axel.
The real estate agent hesitated at first. Then he started to call multiple people and finally, he had a smile on his face.
"Sir, I have talked to the higher-ups and that can be arranged."
"Good, and for the 0.5 trillion dollars that I am providing you, I want a big lake in the center of this land. What? You thought that I would give 0.5 trillion Poke dollars for free? No, you will have to work for it."
###
"So, let me get this straight. All of us gave you 1 trillion Poke dollars each and you bought the biggest land which included mainly fore where wild Pokemons like for 2 trillion Poke dollars. How big is the land?"
"It is 30000 sq km."
"Even if the place is big, that doesn't mean that you can spend more than half of our pooled money on just land. Axel, we need to do a lot of things. We have to clear that place for safety.
We need to make multiple buildings for the school. We need a training ground and you know how expensive these training grounds are.
We also need to have some reserve money and also have to buy a lot of resources to use for our students."
Lance began to list out all the things that they needed to buy.
"Lance, this is why you always lack in certain things. Don't think about it right now.", said Axel.
"But Axel, Lance is correct. I am not saying that it was a bad purchase but if I have to fork out more money, my family will be asking me questions too.", said Steven.
A trillion dollars was not a small money even for one of the wealthiest people like Steven. He had to give explanations for it.
"But we will not need more money right now. We might be needing some resources like evolution stones or enhancing items for the students but that is all and why do you think that the student would get all of those for free?"
"They will not get those for free?"
"Of course not. They would have to work or do something. Of course, the places like rent would be heavily discounted for them but other things like evolution tones, enhancing items and even some advanced classes would be charged by us.
We will charge them in our own currency. So, there would not be any fraud from any other parties."
"Axel, I must tell you. You have researched a lot about this."
"Haha, I have been thinking about this for a long time. And we don't need to build all the buildings or training grounds right now. In the early years, the number of students will be very low.
So, they can train here in my home training grounds. The expenses will also not be so high. So, don't worry about it."
None of them knew what was going to in his mind but they trusted him.
"When will those teachers arrive?", asked Axel.
"3 of them will be coming tomorrow and the rest of them will be here day after tomorrow.", said Steven.
"That is good. We will personally see how good they are in teaching."
"Now, since the age of ceremony has changed from 13 to 11 then our requirements will also change.
Only the trainers till 14 would be admitted. If they are 12 years old, they must have a rare rank Pokemon. If they are 13 years old, then they must have an elemental rank Pokemon and if they are 14 years old, they must have a pseudo-king rank Pokemon."
