Wyndon, a villa on the outskirts.
Everyone participating in the Master League would gather here for dinner tonight.
The draw for the round of sixteen was already out.
The official matches would begin tomorrow.
All eight matches would take place on the first day!
They would start at one in the afternoon, with an hour between each match.
Of course, the actual matches would never take a full hour.
Basically, all eight matches on the first day would finish by seven in the evening at the very latest.
Naturally, the matches would not follow the order of the draw.
The Master League organizers arranged them according to popularity.
Although Red was famous, his match against Elite Four member Siebold could hardly be called suspenseful.
The first day's genuinely unpredictable matches were Li Wei VS Bruno, Lance VS Raihan, and Diantha VS Wallace.
Alder's return to glory against Cynthia was another major highlight.
Among them, Diantha and Wallace were both reigning Champions, making theirs a clash of evenly matched titans.
That was why Diantha and Wallace's match had been scheduled last.
Before that came Cynthia VS Alder and Lance VS Raihan, while Li Wei and Bruno's match was fourth from last.
Li Wei had known Bruno for quite some time.
Counting from when he joined the Chat Group, it had been three or four years at least.
Actually, the two had not met in person very often.
As an ascetic, Bruno usually trained deep in remote mountains and forests.
Especially now that the Kanto Region had long since become peaceful.
Bruno could devote himself to his training in the wilderness without any distractions.
But that did not mean Li Wei and Bruno were on bad terms.
They were close. Very close.
Bruno absolutely loved the Rage Candy Bars Li Wei made...
