[Combining the power of humans and Pokémon into one, it is called the Pokémon Alliance.] 】

————————————————————

Country Profile:

The Pokémon Alliance was established on September 21, 602 in the Elven calendar, with a history of more than 400 years, and is the most powerful federal country in the world today.

Its territory is very large, with a total land area of more than one-third of the world's land area. This includes the Kanto region, Johto region, Hoenn region, Sinnoh region, United region, Carlos region, Alola region, Shichishima, and Orange Islands, as well as the Fiore region, the Almia region, and the Op Libya region, which are part of the Guardian Alliance Autonomous Region.

The national flag is a Poké Ball, with a white pattern on a red background.

The capital of the Pokémon Alliance is Mihara City, located on the Quartz Plateau in the Kanto region.

National History:

1. Founding period (EL602 – 710)

At the beginning of its establishment, it was called the Elven Alliance, and its territory was only in the two regions of today's Guandu and Johto, and in the subsequent wars, it continued to expand its ruling range, spreading to Hoenn and Sinnoh. In 643 of the Elven calendar, it was renamed the Pokémon League, and in the same year, it began to vigorously promote the use of Poké Balls.

The concept advocated by the Pokémon Alliance is to value the power of Pokémon and the relationship between humans and Pokémon. The Coalition forbade citizens from hunting Pokémon for food, treating them as friends of humanity - a concept that was very foreign to its early days.

The existence of Poké Balls laid the foundation for the early days of the Alliance's dominance. The first mandarin fruit balls date back 400 to 700 years, and the Pokémon Alliance was the first to realize the value of this technology, using national power to monopolize this technology and cut off its way to other countries. Based on this technology, the Pokémon League worked tirelessly on the technology of rapid production and mass production of Poké Balls, which according to historical records were a time when ball makers were very prosperous.

At the same time, the Pokémon League promotes the profession of "trainer" among the people. Different from the traditional concept of "Monster Messenger" and "Elf Messenger", the meaning of the trainer is not to put shackles on Pokémon and turn them into weapons that have to obey orders, but to establish a relationship of equality and mutual assistance with Pokémon and fight together. Undoubtedly, compared to traditional forcible manipulation, the trainer's emotion-based way of getting along is more likely to be recognized by Pokémon, and it is also easier to stimulate the powerful power of Pokémon.

"The most appropriate relationship between a trainer and a Pokémon is a partner" is a concept that the Pokémon Alliance has continued since that era.

In order to make the concept of trainer more popular with the public, the Pokémon League has adjusted the relevant social welfare measures for this profession and held a grand competition to promote the enthusiasm of the people.

Although the mandarin fruit balls at that time had the disadvantages of high cost and manufacturing time, this measure still set off a trend of national trainers in the society at that time, and young people led by children of wealthy families responded in response, marking the first step in the Pokémon Alliance to reach an inseparable cooperative relationship between the people of the Pokémon Alliance and Pokémon.

On June 21, 649 of the Elven calendar, the first official league of the Pokémon League, the Quartz League Tournament, kicked off in Mihara City, Quartz Plateau, which marked the beginning of the national trainer boom. To this day, this craze has not been extinguished, and it is still pushing many young people to move forward on the road to trainers.

Trainer means the highest force in society at that time. With a powerful army of trainers, the Pokémon Alliance began to expand its territory in 656 in the Elven calendar, nearly doubling its territory in less than fifty years, and regions such as United States, Carlos, and Alola joined the Pokémon Alliance, laying a solid foundation for it to become the strongest federal government in the world.

In the nearly 100 years since the establishment of the Pokémon Alliance, due to the continuous wars and tensions around the world, it is also known as the "Hundred Years of Turmoil".

2. Development period (EL710 – 898)

After a century of turmoil, the world situation has entered a brief period of calm. At this time, countries around the world have realized the importance of Poké Balls and trainers, and have concentrated their efforts on developing Poké Ball technology and vigorously cultivating trainers in their own countries. This was the beginning of a worldwide boom in trainers.

In the year 783, after the Second Industrial Revolution, the world entered the electric age, which brought about a huge increase in productivity and creativity. In the year 790 of the Elven calendar, a new way to control Pokémon, the "Crystal Wheel", was introduced. Starting from the current Fiore region, the former Fiore Kingdom, it spread to neighboring countries.

In the year 825 of the Elven calendar, more than a dozen countries led by the Kingdom of Fiore signed a contract to form a new alliance system of government, the "Guardian Alliance", and began a confrontation with the Pokémon Alliance in various aspects such as military and economic. The vast Pokémon Alliance is facing local armed conflicts from different directions and is in a dilemma of insufficient military power and resources.

The Guardian League has a level of technology that is not inferior to the Pokémon League, and once had the upper hand in military battles. The Pokémon Alliance did everything they could to barely contain local conflicts and not expand too much, often winning more than they lost in crossfires on the border.

The pressure is particularly acute in coastal cities in the Guandu and Johto regions. The city of Withered Leaves in the Kanto area was once occupied by the Guardian Alliance, and there are still many foreign-style buildings and customs in the city.

In the year 871 of the Elven calendar, a new type of Poké Ball that could be mass-produced was introduced. This invention greatly solves the shortcomings of the complex production process, time-consuming and manpower of the mandarin fruit ball, and completes the feat of industrializing and assembling the production of Poké Balls.

The evolution of armaments means the increase of military strength. Due to the low cost of the new Poké Balls, the trainer is no longer an aristocratic profession, but has truly entered the lives of thousands of ordinary people. According to statistics, after the introduction of the new Poké Ball, the number of new registered trainers in the Pokémon League every year has increased by more than five times compared to before, which is undoubtedly a huge and terrifying force.

Taking this as an opportunity, the Pokémon Alliance expanded its army and strengthened its military strength, and after recovering Withered Leaf City through military pressure and other means, the Pokémon Alliance waited for an opportunity to intensify the border conflict. The flames of war were ignited and spread all over the world.

In the year 898 of the Elven calendar, the Restadat Raid and Defense announced the collapse of the Guardian Alliance. The three major regions of the current Guardian Alliance have been ceded to the Pokémon Alliance.

In order to achieve a peaceful and stable development strategy, the Pokémon Alliance retains the name and partial authority of the "Guardian Alliance" in these three regions, and grants a certain amount of political freedom while restricting it, and implements a local autonomy strategy.

The dissolution of the Guardian League marks the peak of the Pokémon Alliance's national power, officially becoming the strongest federal government in the world. The war between the Pokémon Alliance and the Guardian Alliance was later called the "Bipolar War" period.

3. The Stronghold (EL898 – Present)

In the year 950 of the elven calendar, the discovery of the new material gray crystal marked the beginning of another leap in the world's scientific and technological level. Using this as a starting point, the Pokémon Alliance created supercomputers with tens of thousands of times more computing power than previous computers, and as a result, developed sophisticated heavy laser weapons, space jumping devices, and more.

In the year 953 of the Elven calendar, the three kingdoms of the Somiana Plain formed the Northern Alliance, announcing that they had found "the most correct way to control Pokémon", and resisted Poké Balls, harassing the northern border of the Pokémon Alliance, and small conflicts continued.

In the year 958 of the Elven calendar, the construction of the global three-dimensional positioning imaging guidance system (alias Skynet) was completed. In the year 960 of the Elven calendar, based on Skynet's guidance ability, the ultra-long-range heavy strategic laser sniper system (alias Damocles), this super weapon was born in the Pokémon Alliance.

In the year 976 of the Elven calendar, the conflict on the northern border escalated and evolved into a vicious incident that could not be controlled. The first successful launch of the superweapon Damocles was carried out, with the capital of the Northern Alliance as the center, and a radius of hundreds of miles was razed to the ground.

The debut of this superweapon shocked the world. The invention and successful launch of Damocles marked the official establishment of the Pokémon Alliance's unshakable position in the world.

In the year 980, the Northern Alliance dissolved. Later, the border with the Kingdom of Paraçao, one of the three northern kingdoms, continued to be violent and intensified. In the year 986 of the Elven calendar, the Kingdom of Paraso announced the severance of all diplomatic relations with the Pokémon Alliance, and the contradictions between the two sides were irreconcilable. The following year, the Pokémon Alliance declared war on the kingdom of Paraso, and the two countries went to war.

The war lasted for two years, and the Pokémon Alliance paid a great price, completely annihilating the kingdom of Paraso, and slaughtering all the citizens with the physiognomy of its royal people. This battle was later known as the "Battle of Annihilation of Somiana".

Since the end of the war in 989 A.D., the world situation has eased somewhat, and large-scale armed conflicts have basically ceased to occur. Despite the considerable human and financial losses, this battle has established an inviolable image for the Pokémon League internationally, and its impact is very far-reaching.
