 ==In the anime==
+In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the Pokémon League challenge is divided into two parts: the Pokémon League Conference and the Champion League.
+===Pokémon League Conference===
 {{main|Pokémon League Conference}}
-In the [[Pokémon anime]], the League challenge is a tournament. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s qualify by having at least eight [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s from the relevant region, and then a {{wp|single-elimination tournament}} takes place between the qualifying Trainers. In this [[canon]], the League is known for its many traditions, including the opening celebration which evokes the flame of {{p|Moltres}}, alluding to the {{wp|Olympic flame}}.
+The Pokémon League Conference is a {{wp|single-elimination tournament}} between {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who have collected at least eight [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s from a specific [[region]]. Other ways of getting into the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] besides collecting Badges have been shown, such as by passing the Pokémon League Admissions Exam, as seen in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', or by graduating from [[Pokémon Tech]], as seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.
+Rules vary from region to region, but generally, championship competitions are divided into three parts: qualifying rounds, preliminary rounds, and final rounds. Highly skilled Trainers will move on to compete with a smaller pool of competitors. The Trainer that defeats all other competitors is deemed the winner of the competition. Losing Trainers who participate in the competition will be ranked accordingly.

Losing Trainers who participate in the competitions will be ranked accordingly.
+===Champion League===
+After winning a Pokémon League Conference, a Trainer may enter the Champion League of the relevant region, where the [[Elite Four]] and the {{pkmn|Champion|League Champion}} await. Like in the {{pkmn|games}}, Trainers must defeat all members of the Elite Four for the right of challenging the Champion. Once the Elite Four is defeated, Champions are required to defend their title from challengers. If the battle against the challenger is won, Champions hold on to their current status. However, if the challenger succeeds, Champions must relinquish their title to the winning Trainer, who will then be deemed the new Pokémon Champion.
-[[Charles Goodshow]] serves as the president of the League Competition Committee and oversees all the regional competitions.
+In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, all members of the {{DL|Elite Four|Sinnoh Elite Four}} but [[Bertha]] have been shown challenging [[Cynthia]] for her title. It is unknown if they had to defeat their Elite colleagues or if they requested a battle from the Champion straight away. So far, the only mentions of the Champion League have been in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'', ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'', and ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]''.
