The Grand Festival continued.
After the fierce competition on the third day, another twelve contestants were eliminated, leaving just four to advance to the semifinals.
Almost every match had been intense.
The contestants poured their sweat into the Battle Arena, and their Pokémon gave everything they had, presenting the audience with one dazzling, fierce battle after another.
Clearly, none of the contestants who had made it this far were pushovers.

In the semifinals, she would face Zoey, while Dawn would face Jessie in the other half of the bracket. The winners of the two matches would meet in the final.
Honestly, leaving the others aside for now, Jessie certainly had some skill to have made it this far, but luck had played an even greater part.
Had she faced a contestant like Ulala or Nando, she probably would have been eliminated long ago.
But luck... was sometimes counted as part of one's strength, too.
In any case, making it this far had left Jessie looking very pleased with herself these past few days, believing she truly had what it took to win the championship. Every time Xia You spotted her from a distance, he could see a smug smile on her face, as though victory were already assured.

But today, that confidence would come to an end.
On the fourth day of competition, the audience first welcomed the match between Jessie and Dawn.
