#//but ultimately he works at the league so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ maybe they just deal with that stuff

i like to think larry's position as a member of the elite four is largely unknown. people know that he's a gym leader because they need that information ( and because he's been one for so long ) but the elite four? he'd argue it's better to remain anonymous, as much as he can manage. force the challengers to plan for everything, so they aren't totally wiped by the mystery trainer. additionally, larry doesn't talk about this job, and has asked most people not to as well -- but even if they did, who would believe that the normal type gym leader would be an elite four member? is that even allowed? doesn't he HAVE an office job?

what helps the most with keeping it quiet, though: rika and poppy are strong. he doesn't fight very often -- most challengers don't make it past them.
