The contestants' chatter soon died down. Under everyone's anxious gaze, the images on the big screen scrolled rapidly.
Before long, the result appeared.
Second match: Youluo vs. Cynthia! Rock field!
Youluo was quite strong. At least in Yong's view, as long as he made good use of his Ghost-type Pokémon's innate talents and brought out their full strength, he could put up a fight against anyone in the top eight.
But that did not include Cynthia!
It was not just because of her strength, but because Cynthia had two Spiritomb!
The Ghost and Dark typing was enough to give Spiritomb the upper hand against Ghost-type Pokémon!

Its level would be at least 48!

She looked even more like the future female Champion Yong pictured in his mind.
Youluo still hid himself beneath his black hood, half his face shrouded in shadow, leaving his thoughts unreadable.
Neither was much of a talker, so they sent out their Pokémon without exchanging a word.
Youluo's lead was his newly evolved Mismagius!
Mismagius!
Cynthia once again sent out Roserade!
Mismagius liked to disrupt opponents with dreams and illusions. Its specialty was combining Hypnosis with Nightmare or Dream Eater.
Fear was the finest food it could ask for.
But against the Poison-type Roserade, whose psychic power was far from weak, Mismagius found itself at a disadvantage!
Its opponent felt no fear at all!
It was nothing like a "frail" Grass-type Pokémon!
Poison Powder filled the air, paired with Toxic Spikes, pushing the poison-burst strategy to its
