Ch. 201The tournament begins
After Qin Feng stopped Jesse's kidnapping plot, Jesse revealed that Old America had targeted Bai Xiyue to curb Qin Feng's growth, and Qin Feng handed the agents over to Huaxia's Official Authorities. Seven days later, the provincial tournament began, where the QJ Team faced the Hornet Team, whose opening rush targeted Scrafty.

- Qin Feng handed Jesse and the other agents over to Huaxia's Official Authorities in hopes they would uncover the wider spy network.
- The provincial tournament began with the Pokémon level cap raised to 40, and the QJ Team entered its first match against the Hornet Team.
- Qin Feng sent out Hoopa, Little Fish chose Dragonite, Wang Lin used Volcarona, Deng Jialiang sent out Scrafty, and Liu Yufei used Empoleon.
- The Hornet Team launched a coordinated rush, with Haxorus and Hariyama attacking Scrafty while Garchomp covered the arena in a sandstorm.
