The Lily of the Valley Conference semifinals had begun.
Ash had already advanced to the finals.
As long as Li Wei defeated Tobias,
he would meet Ash in the finals.
The match was perhaps even more one-sided than most had imagined, especially once Darkrai appeared.
Two Darkrai took the field at the same time.
Tobias gave the first command. "Dark Void!"
Li Wei remained composed. "Brick Break!"
