Mega Diancie vs. Mega Steelix!

November 20.

The quadrennial Donghuang Conference officially kicked off in Shangjing City, with sixty-four top trainers from the Donghuang Region, selected through multiple rounds of qualifiers, ready to compete.

That description was not entirely accurate, however, because nearly half of the contestants were star trainers from other regions. For that very reason, this conference's attention was not limited to the Donghuang Region.

Perhaps it had been deliberately arranged by the organizers, but Xia Chen's match was the opening battle of the conference.

Thus, more than half an hour before the first match began, countless viewers were already waiting in the livestream room.

"They're here, they're here! Welcome to the Donghuang Conference, where [Xia Chen single-handedly raised the level of competition]!"

"Honestly, it's terrifying. In previous Donghuang Conferences, Elite-level strength was enough to make the main event. This year, the bar's been raised to nearly Gym level. That's insane."

"Can't be helped. Too many people came to challenge Xia Chen. But why worry about that? As long as the matches are good, that's all that matters."

"Exactly. They're the ones competing their hearts out; we're the ones enjoying it."

"I heard this tournament allows Dynamax too? Didn't they say that phenomenon could only happen in the Galar Region?"

"The guy who discovered Dynamax is right here, so of course he has a way. I'm just worried that not many people have Dynamax Bands. Won't that be unbalanced?"

"No need to worry about that. According to the official statistics, forty-eight of the sixty-four contestants have mastered Terastalization, thirty-three have mastered Mega Evolution, and twenty-one have mastered Dynamax. They're all top-tier trainers, so naturally they have those."

The viewers eagerly discussed every possible angle of the match in the barrage comments.

Second by second, time passed. About ten minutes before the match
