Whether he could become the new Champion today depended on this battle.
Director Liu led Eichi over to the Elite Four, who noticed the two of them as well.
Director Liu greeted them first. "The future member of the four of you has arrived."
Then four pairs of eyes locked onto Eichi at once, and he instantly felt several powerful auras pressing down on him.
Eichi immediately felt enormous pressure and his heart began to race, but a warm current suddenly flowed through his body, and the panic vanished in an instant.
Eichi's expression froze, and he was thoroughly startled.
That had been close. If not for Bug Force, he would have been crushed by the Elite Four's aura just now.
Even after taking the field, it would have been impressive if he could have brought out eighty percent of his strength.
If it had been any ordinary Trainer, their mental defenses would have collapsed under that pressure. How could they possibly defeat the Elite Four in the arena?
Naturally, Eichi's performance did not escape the Elite Four's notice.
Lance was slightly taken aback. He had thought Eichi would struggle at least a little, yet he had recovered so quickly.
As expected of a man who had earned fifty-seven points at nineteen.
One look at the Elite Four's reactions told Eichi that this was a show of force. Thinking about it, he could understand. If he could not even withstand that, what right did he have to become an Elite Four member?
At that moment, Lance stepped forward and held out his hand. "Eichi, do your best. I hope you can become one of us."
Eichi reached out and shook Lance's hand. Bruno also walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I think highly of you. Don't lose."
