Everyone in the Pokémon world knows about the main regions like, Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, Hoenn, and Unova.. A lot of people might know the other regions like Orre, Almia, Fiore and even Oblivia. Of course, just because these are the major regions doesn't mean they're the only regions, right? There is a small.. I wouldn't say a region… but perhaps a small community. It's just beyond Mount Silver and the Indigo Plateau in the Johto and Kanto regions. It's pretty much right in the middle of the two regions, and it's a very quaint little place. The only way you can really get to the valley, where this community is located, is either by flying with a bird Pokémon, or hiking up Mount Silver one way, then down the other. It's a dangerous hike though, to say the least.
Most people think the community, known as Starlight Valley, is just a rumor and nothing more. Others tell stories that bad children are taken there on Driftblim and Driftloon, or that members of Team Rocket, Galactic, etc. are taken there to be dealt with by the International Police force.
The citizens of Starlight Valley dismiss these rumors on their rare visits to the other regions to see relatives or attend business. The girls and women just giggle and wave their hands at the rumors. The boys and men chalk it up for the children and say that the rumors are true, while they tell their parents only half of it is true.
The mayor of the valley rarely leaves, but he's a rather social man, with almost eleven brothers and two sisters. He received an Xtransceiver from one of his friends for his birthday a few years ago and often contacts different famous Pokémon rangers, elite four members and asks them to come to the valley for their monthly celebrations as their special guests. Sometimes the men and women come, other times they're too busy but let a friend of theirs fill in for them.
This month's celebration was promised to be especially great for Starlight Valley. The mayor was going to have Chessebelle Blair attending December's festivities as their special guest speaker. Chessebelle Blair was the reigning Johto and Kanto champion and was now a member of the International Police Force. She had helped Looker with several cases since she became part of the force. Of course, most people didn't realize this because of her name; she's usually called Rouge, her undercover name. It is just a formality to keep her full name concealed; it's kind of hard to keep a secret identity when people already know you're the champion. The police agent figured with such a small community, it wouldn't matter if her name got out, so she was just going as Chessebelle. Even if there were 'bad people' at the festival, they wouldn't have her full name, so she figured it was an acceptable situation...
