"The contestants in this tournament are elites from every region! They are the Pokémon League's future, young people who make us proud!"
President Charles Goodshow gently stroked his beard, smiling at the people around him.
"Every one of them is a powerhouse of the younger generation, blessed with talent, dedication, and ability! Just as this tournament's name suggests, they are all powerful Trainers who have stepped into the realm of the Elite Four!"
"Now! Let us greet these young powerhouses with our loudest cheers and applause!"
"First up! From Lavender Town in the Kanto Region... contestant Youluo!"
Amid the crowd's cheers, Youluo emerged from the contestants' tunnel.
The chilly reserve he exuded, along with his unapproachable air, seemed somewhat at odds with the atmosphere around him.
Wearing a purple shirt beneath a cloak, Youluo calmly walked toward the center of the arena.
"Contestant Youluo delivered outstanding performances at both the Elite Tournament and the Ever Grande Conference! After returning to the Kanto Region, his talent with Ghost-types quickly earned the recognition of Agatha of the Ghost-type Elite Four, who took him on as her student!"
President Charles Goodshow smiled as he watched Youluo step onto the stage.
Agatha was a core member of the Pokémon League and one of its most senior veterans!
Her standing in the Pokémon League needed no explanation. She was truly at the heart of its inner circle!
As her student, Youluo was naturally a Trainer directly affiliated with the Pokémon League.
President Charles Goodshow was, of course, pleased with that.
"Second! From the Johto Region! A young Trainer of exceptional talent, Silver! He is said to be a gifted newcomer recommended by Will of the Elite Four! His strength has also earned the recognition of the Johto League's senior officials! That makes contestant Silver's performance
