Lily of the Valley Conference, finals day.
Two semifinal matches in the morning.
The final would take place in the afternoon.
Perhaps because it was the last day of the Lily of the Valley Conference, everyone brought their greatest enthusiasm.
Fireworks blossomed in the sky, and colorful balloons drifted in the wind.
The Final Venue was packed with spectators.
Passionate cheers and excited applause rang out without pause.
The host's rousing voice echoed through the air.
"Welcome, everyone, to the final day of the Sinnoh League's Lily of the Valley Conference!"
"Coming up next are this conference's semifinals! Our four semifinalists are... Shiyan Yong from Dewford Town in the Hoenn Region! Sif from Alamos Town in the Sinnoh Region! Elijah, also from the Sinnoh Region, from Oreburgh City! And Anabel from Nimbasa City in the Unova Region!"
"All four contestants have proven their strength! Now, let's hear your cheers! I hereby declare the Sinnoh League's Lily of the Valley Conference semifinals officially underway!"
Roar...
Even louder applause and cheers erupted throughout the venue.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, the four large screens above the venue, along with the screen in the contestants' Lounge, began flashing rapidly!
Only Yong and the other three remained in the Lounge.
Xiao Yi and the other eliminated contestants were watching from the special seating prepared for them in the venue.
Yong watched the screen calmly. Beside him, Anabel wore a relaxed smile.
"I really hope we get matched against each other..."
"Oh? Why?"
The boy looked at her in confusion.
Anabel smiled.
"More than winning the championship, I want to battle you! I want to see Mega Evolution for myself, too!"
Yong gave her a meaningful look and smiled.
"Don't worry! You'll definitely get your chance!"
Soon, the contestants' names finally appeared on the large screens.
