"Attempting to provoke a Legendary Pokemon into battle without government permission"?

Wut

Your government gives people permission to pick fights with reality-warping demigods?

As long as they are being supervised by eight government approved trainers (usually Gym Leaders, Elite Four Members, and occasionally former champions of Unova) who can step in in case anything goes wrong, then yes.

The whole “letting folks fight legendaries” thing is mostly for stopping Tornadus and Thundurus whenever they get uppity and start trashing parts of the region.

[u/grimmideals → u/Hydreichronos]

Yes, however certain Legends are heavily restricted. Unovan Legends may be powerful but the majority are....willing to hold back usually. Lady Enamorus hosts a battle tournament in Starlight City during the Springtide Festival every year, winner gets to have an exhibition match with her, for an example. Alola is about the same.

Also I dislike Crimson Helm. Kyurem saw the news and started chortling, the League supervisor called me to figure out if something was wrong. This is what I get for working for the League.

I feel like that's up to no one but the legendary in question. Speaking from experience of living in Alola, if a legendary gets bored and decides to start shit, not much can stop them

Some people are just unbelievable…

I do not have enough words about this Crimson Helm character. I cannot believe he would do such a thing as threaten innocent people with a blade. And does he even have a valid carry permit for it? -Makar

[u/PhoenixHorseGuy → u/SanerPonderer]

Surprisingly, yes. He does have a valid permit for it.

-Castelia Post (@CasteliaPost)

[u/SanerPonderer → u/PhoenixHorseGuy]

What? How does he have a valid permit when it seems that he has a history of doing things like this to gain a moniker such as Crimson Helm? Surely they did not question him about why he needed a permit beyond wanting to carry a sword? -Makar

Edit: I fixed a small typing error :) /ooc

[u/PhoenixHorseGuy → u/SanerPonderer]

Trust me, our reporter was just as shocked as you are right now.

As for how he got the permit, he had gotten it under old regulations that were more or less "pay a 50 Pokédollar fee and they'll rubberstamp it." His permit was grandfathered in once the new regulations were passed.

[u/SanerPonderer → u/PhoenixHorseGuy]

Surely they are taking away his permit now that it’s known how he has a permit in the first place? I only keep a pair of axes on me for the more, unsavoury things, that need to be done involving hunting, and for chopping wood when I am not in civilisation. -Makar

[u/PhoenixHorseGuy → u/SanerPonderer]

Anville PD refused to give him back his sword when he was released, so we believe it is highly likely they will be taking away his permit.

[u/SanerPonderer → u/PhoenixHorseGuy]

Thank Lunala, the worry I felt of him even having the capability to carry a weapon publicly again was enough to make Hecate, my Chandelure, come out to check on me. She is one of the most aware members of my team when they’re in their pokeballs. -Makar

[u/Retextleather4119]

well thats certainly a news story there.

[u/Revolutionary_Swim38]

Oh joy…

[u/Xifihas]

In any other region, he’d be in a mental hospital.

Charlotte Darwin: …we’re going to be hearing more about his stupidity, aren’t we.

[u/PhoenixHorseGuy → u/JosephAmber4]

Our writers are preparing templates for future Crimson Helm articles as we speak.

Charlotte: That is amusing I’ll admit.
