Silver Mountain Range.
At the foot of the mountain.
The urban district of Kanto League Headquarters, Silver City.
One fierce and imposing Pokémon after another flew in from every direction beyond the Silver Mountain Range, piercing the clouds and crossing thousands of miles.
As they approached the city and passed from the outer city into the inner city, they dove sharply down from the sky one after another.
During the Masters Tournament, flying was prohibited within the inner city for everyone's safety.
Watching the Masters Tournament carried a certain degree of risk.
Battles at this level had already surpassed what the Pokémon League's protective barriers could guarantee for every spectator, so emergency protection teams, staffed by the International Police, would be specially deployed.
Even so, it still could not dampen people's enthusiasm.
Words like "boisterous crowds" and "a sea of people" were no longer enough to describe how lively Silver City was at that moment.
The Pokémon League World Masters Tournament, abbreviated as the "Masters Tournament."
It was the largest competition in the entire Pokémon World to date. Everyone qualified to participate in the Masters Tournament was a top Trainer with a renowned reputation in their respective region.
This included Elite Four members from every region, leaders of various Battle Zones, and even high-ranking officials from different Pokémon League departments.
And every Masters Tournament was destined to become the grandest of events.
For ordinary people, it was an exceedingly rare chance to watch Elite Four-level Trainers fight in real, no-holds-barred battles.
For the participants, it was a necessary path toward challenging top Trainers, earning Masters points, and even advancing toward the Elite Four or Champion rank.
For the Pokémon League, it was an opportunity to discover talent while demonstrating its strength to the criminal forces of every region.
Therefore.
