267 Chapter 4 Augus (1/2)
Unlike the others who are shocked by this revelation, August just brush his brush while arched his eyebrows when Alex revealed his past identity to them.
August replied plainly without any fluctuations in his tone,” It seems there are still some people who remembered the old man. Indeed I am the former Kanto elite Four but it was decades ago. Now, I am only an old man who lives in his home Town.”

He was similar to an amiable old man and no one could regard him to a powerful Ex Elite four member.
This was the view of most people but not Alex.
When Alex was still in the recovery stage before his siblings, Alan and Helen's birth, Professor Oak often visited Alex and talked with him.
Sometimes Blue or Red would join him.
All these people would often tell him stories about their past adventures, and the difficult battles they had in the past.
One such story that Professor oak told Alex was about the time when he was but a boy as old as Alex himself and travelled the world.
The world at that time wasn't as peaceful or as close to calm as it can be at that time. That time the Pokemon league has suffered much tribulations in the form of riots, different organization declaring sovereignty over a place or some city or part of region announcing their independence.
That time before Professor oak rose to strength was one of complete chaos and disorder. There was no semblance of order and calm. That was a true anarchy at places out of league control.
The strong managed the world. And these strong weren't any stronger than current Alex but only stronger than most.
One can say every ten town was ruled autonomous by an advanced trainer and every town by an intermediate one.
Anyone who objects or try to rebel would suffer fate worse than death. After all, if ones family is killed slowly and painfully in front of him and he cannot do anything to protect them, he would be in hell.
The only Regions which still held strong and in control of the Pokemon league authority at that time was Kanto, Johto and Hoenn.
Hoenn was in peace because the president of the Pokemon league was a Hoenn resident and he managed to calm his home region with his special strength.
Kanto and johto being bear the Pokemon league headquarters has been in calm except for some unrests. But, these unrests were quelled down under the iron fist of the Flying Elite four trainer August.
He and his togekiss managed to calm down the entire eastern part of the Kanto by their presence in that area.
The fact that communication wasn't as developed as it is now. And it wasn't just togekiss nature and spreading happiness which helped maintain order.
His iron fist fell on the land. Anyone who challenged the majesty of the league suffered and they were reminded by August that any rebellion would be death.
After calming the area, he was dispatched to there regions to regain control of the lost territory. Many died under his arms.
Professor Oak also fought him and defeated him to get the champion post.
In the words of professor oak, noone in the league was more loyal to the Pokemon league and noone was more ruthless than August to ensure his objective is reached.
The world at that time was much cruel than the current yet he was the most ruthless of them all states just how dangerous he really was.
As for why professor Oak revealed such cruel aspects of the past to Alex, he has faced a raid and saw what the aftermath was even after he secured a victory. So he thought maybe the past will help him recover quickly.
Seeing that August hoped he will reply how he knows about him, Alex swiftly answered, seemingly gazed by his last reputation,” I am a student of Professor Samuel Oak. He mentioned about his past encounter of you and showed a photo of yours when you were younger to me.
