Even harsher and more brutal than yours.
All the contestants knew about this announcement. Hu Bin was a little shocked when he heard it too. Weren't they just stirring up trouble? A hundred people at most would have been enough, but they were throwing everyone into the same pot!
Deciding the Top 8 in a single day? They weren't playing a tournament-they were playing with people's lives!
As Hu Bin was about to enter the venue, Qin An gently straightened his clothes and said, "Good luck in the tournament! I believe in you. You're the best!"
Hu Bin nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry. Just watch me work!"
Once Hu Bin entered the venue, countless eyes turned toward him in unison.
There was no helping it. Hu Bin's strength spoke for itself-powerful and terrifying.
And he was shameless enough to enter a tournament like this with Elite Four-level strength.
The moment the spectators saw Hu Bin enter, they all shouted, "Hu Bin, Hu Bin, you're the best! Hu Bin, Hu Bin, nobody beats you!"
His popularity was overwhelming. As Hoenn's hero, Hu Bin was every bit as popular as any member of Hoenn's Elite Four.
Countless contestants were green with envy.
Hu Bin stood in the contestants' area and looked toward the podium.
Steven appeared on the podium. At the same time, the tournament's sacred Moltres flame was brought up to the podium and used to light the ceremonial cup.
Steven solemnly announced, "I hereby declare the Hoenn League tournament officially open! Today, our five hundred Pokémon Trainers will take part in a grand melee, narrowing the field from five hundred to eight and determining who advances to the Top 8!"
The spectators already knew about this, but hearing it again still caused an uproar!
Just imagining it
