Battle Castle Debut Match

"Battle Castle is quite lively today!"

The host overseeing the Battle Castle matches, butler Yikong, spoke with some emotion.

"Today, several fresh talents have joined our battles. Today is also the day of their debut at our Battle Castle, so everyone, please look forward to the debut matches of these trainers!"

Yikong's words immediately drew the attention of many people in the banquet hall. They rose from the sofas and went to the windows, looking out at the battle arena outside.

"The two participants in the first debut match are Mr. Gary from Pallet Town and contestant Ayi from Santalune City in our Kalos Region!" Yikong announced to everyone present.

Soon afterward, Gary and his opponent Ayi were guided by Battle Castle staff to the battle arena outside the castle, where they faced each other.

Since neither Gary nor Ayi had obtained a Noble Title, neither of them wore a cape and instead wore their own clothes.

"Mr. Gary, Miss Ayi, the winner of this match will receive the title of Baron. Please begin!"

After Yikong finished speaking, Gary and Ayi each took out a Poké Ball. At the staff's instruction, they tapped their Poké Balls together and spoke in unison.

"May I have one wonderful match every year!"

After the pre-match ceremony ended, Gary and Ayi walked to opposite sides of the field and faced off.

"Gary, I'm taking this debut match!"

With that, Ayi immediately threw the Poké Ball in her hand. The Poké Ball opened in midair, and a Pokémon silhouette appeared on the field amid a flash of white light.

"Come out, Litleo!"

Before long, a Litleo appeared on the field.
