Yu Hai vs. Drake

The thirty-third day after returning to the Orange Islands, cloudy.

Today was the sixth round of the Knockout Stage, the quarterfinals. After that would come the four-to-two Semifinals, followed by the two-to-one finals.

Unfortunately, Yu Hai could only go this far. His opponent today was Drake; he had known since yesterday.

Although he would stop here, that did not mean he would not go to Citrus Stadium. After breakfast with Dunmei, he still planned to make the trip.

This time, Dunmei wanted to come along too. Yu Hai did not refuse her. Today's match would likely not even be fought, so they could just go watch the matches.

Today was the quarterfinals, with only four matches for the entire day. Yu Hai and Dunmei had not gone to the Pokémon Center. Dunmei was afraid that if they went there, she would not be able to come out with him.

When they arrived at Citrus Stadium, the matches had already begun. Yu Hai and Drake were the third match, while the first was Xiao Dan versus Xiao Ying...

Watching the two battle, Yu Hai and Dunmei stood on the lounge balcony and saw that all the Pokémon Xiao Ying sent out were below Elite-class.

Xiao Ying had made it this far without a single Elite-class Pokémon, which meant the organizers had given him quite a few breaks. But this was already his limit.

Without Elite-class Pokémon, advancing any further was extremely difficult. Yu Hai himself had not received many breaks, yet he had fought his way to this point and encountered more than one Elite-class Pokémon. He was already at his limit too.

As they continued watching Xiao Ying's match, they saw him send out powerful Pokémon such as Lucario, Electivire, Poliwrath, and Infernape, fighting Xiao Dan to the very end.
