Concept:
The league challenge is where students can challenge Gym leaders, Elite Four members, and the Champion. They must first gather 8 gym badges and then defeat all Elite Four members consecutively without losing. After doing so, the challenger will then be able to challenge the champion. If they successfully defeat the champion they become the new champion of the Kent State Pokemon League. The TCG Kahuna Challenge functions similarly, but there are only 4 Kuhunas who will give emblems to challengers upon defeat. The challengers who first defeats all Kahunas becomes TCG chmapion and will have to defend their title against other people that have deafted all the Kahunas each week.
