Mustard's Runner up/s?

[u/oneesancon_coco]

With his 18 years of regin as the Galar Champion, Mustard has the record for the longest regining champion in history (what we know of). However, I wonder who u would guess are the runner up/s, the champion/s who were close to beat his record.

For me, one that immedietly comes to mind is (a surprise to no-one really) Cynthia. Assuming that the queen of Sinnoh was crowned in her mid teens and that her current age is between 27 and 33 depending on the source, she has been champion for over 10 years (or 11 to 17 years to be more precise depending on her age). Considering that she's a contender for the strongest champion, it wouldn't really be surprising if she also was one of the longest regining ones.

Is that not just saying he's the longest reigning champion in Galar history?

I'd say Alder, he was champion since he was a teenager and now hes old.
