Wyndon Stadium.
The draw for the 1-0 group had finished.
In the 1-0 group, Li Wei
might have drawn the weakest opponent...
Li Wei really did have good luck with draws.
If he beat Diantha, Li Wei would move into the 2-0 group, which would practically mean he had qualified.
Of course, he still couldn't celebrate before the job was done.
Vivian couldn't help laughing.
"Wow, this feels like a showdown between two fan favorites!"
Li Wei and Diantha were both immensely popular competitors, with plenty of people supporting them.
Li Wei and Lucario beside him exchanged a look and nodded.
It looked like they had a good chance of going 2-0.
Diantha smiled. "I'm not going to let you walk away with an easy win."
The draw for the 0-1 group was especially crucial, too.
If they lost this match,
they would fall into the 0-2 group,
putting them on the brink of elimination.
"The first matchup is Wallace vs Drake, a clash between two competitors from the Hoenn Region!"
"The second matchup is Alder vs Siebold!
A culinary showdown between the Unova Champion and Kalos's Water-type Elite Four member... ah, I mean a Pokémon showdown!"
Alder burst out laughing.
"If it's cooking, I don't stand a chance!"
The corners of Siebold's mouth lifted slightly, too.
"I look forward to facing Champion Alder."
Alder, who specialized in using Volcarona, really wasn't well suited to facing the Water-type specialist Siebold.
"Wow, another very interesting matchup!"
Next came Raihan vs Lorelei.
Lance couldn't help looking at Lorelei beside him.
"You really have it in for Dragon-types, don't you?"
Lorelei merely adjusted her glasses with a cold expression.
"What does that have to do with a Flying-type specialist like you?"

Oh, get lost!!!
Lance was never going to live down that
