Here I will post content relevant to England's history in regards to Pokemon, as well as any important or interesting NPCs (non player characters) that call England their home.

Benjamin Jackson currently holds the title for England's Pokemon Champion. He's a 22 year old FTM (female to male) transgender who has used his winnings to pay for his surgery and the surgeries of many others. He is a loud and outspoken member of FTM London, a support group for FTM transgenders and queer folk in the community. He lives and parties in London frequently and uses the spotlight to help spread messages against trans-hate. He has only been the title holder for a few months and is the youngest person to ever win England's Pokemon Champion title.

At 62 years old, Zara Foster is the first woman you have to beat in England's Elite Four, and she is a beloved national treasure. She's held her title for 12 full years, partly because of her experience and expertise, but also, in part, because no one wants to challenge her for her position. She is known for being exceptionally kind to man and pokemon alike. In the last three years she has gone deaf but this hasn't slowed her down in the least. She still takes out challengers left and right! She roams through England speaking at various grass type trainer conventions and groups giving demonstrations with her various grass type pokemon. It is rumored that she may step down this year but she will not speak on the matter further until the World Championships have been concluded.

At 51, Luke James is the ground type master of England's Elite Four. Luke, well known as a lady's man, holds huge charity event balls. Which charity event? Pretty much whoever approaches him. He is tied to no one unique cause, but works with as many charities as he can of those that approach him. Some of his recent charity balls have been to save a historic building that was home to many ghost and bug pokemon, a project to raise money for the homeless, and a silent auction to raise money for abandoned pokemon.

Twenty three year old Jack Williams is the poison master of England's Elite Four. He's quite young, which is why he connects the most to England's National Champion, Benjamin Jackson. Often going to parties and supporting the Trans community with Jackson, people have begun to call them Jack and Jack! Williams is also very fond of poetry, though he doesn't write himself. Many of his fans have wrote poems about him and his team, and have even sent him poetry books in the mail.

Steel type trainer Willow Powell is the final member of Englad's Elite Four. Raised in a family well known for breeding various grass type pokemon, Powell chose a different path. At thirty years old, she's proven to be a tough competitor in various competitions throughout her career and has been a highly respected member of the Elite Four for the past six years. Despite this, her family has no contact with her for failing to adhere to the family business, which they took rather seriously. Though this is painful for her, she lives a nice life with her fiance, a chef, raising and training her steel type pokemon. Her fiance even helps her set up charity dinners for her fundraising to help local orphanages throughout England. She is one of the few Elite Four members in the world to not focus her charity on pokemon in any way.

The Regionals in England will take place this June, the Entrance Exams having been completed the previous year in the months of October and November. With the Elite Four tournament held in December, the trainers in England have the special advantage of knowing which Elite Four members they'll be going up against months in advance and therefore have the opportunity to keep this in mind while going through the Entrance Exams and Regionals.
