Because of starting as simple trainers the 4 elite are rather layed back compared to other sets. the champion, however, is a direct descendant of Negi Akh. while he's generally kind, if you get on his bad side you'll regret it. each of them has over 6 pokemon and catches madami as they see fit, so knowing what 6 they will use is never sure...each of the 4 has a different place they "play" and changing out pokemon once you start the challenge isn't aloud. (meaning you can't battle 1 of them and then change pokemon for the susunod one) this is the ONLY time in this region you are only aloud to have...
