In the courtyard of the villa on the outskirts of Wyndon,
last night,
Li Wei had already chosen the six stalwarts who would appear in the finals, after careful consideration and a discussion with Cynthia.
Lucario, Metagross, Zeraora, Arcanine, Diancie, and Dragapult
were standing before Li Wei at that moment.
All six Pokémon were Battle Legends,
the absolute mainstays of Li Wei's team.

Only one of Lucario and Sirfetch'd could be chosen.
Naturally, Li Wei had chosen Lucario, who could undergo Mega Evolution and was his absolute ace.
Sirfetch'd had already performed well enough in the semi-finals.
"Just cheer us on tomorrow."
"Quack, quack!"

Sirfetch'd wasn't upset. Everything they did was for the sake of winning, and Li Wei was making the best choices he could.
Li Wei's opponent tomorrow was none other than the defending Champion, the symbol of the strongest, the Fighter-Red.
This would be Li Wei's toughest battle.
Lucario and the others knew that very well too.
Cynthia sat nearby with her notes open on her lap, while Pokédex Rotom beside her was ready to record.
Hoopa looked eager to get started, while Darkrai and Regigigas stood silently nearby.
Giratina also emerged from the Distortion World.
Giratina had already taught Dragapult everything that needed to be taught. All that remained now was battle
