May turned her head and asked softly, "Xia You, who do you think will win this match?"
Who would win?
That was a good question.
Xia You's gaze moved between Bruno and Bea. Without much thought, he answered her just as softly.
"Probably Bruno."
"Huh? Not Miss Bea?" May sounded surprised and puzzled. "After all, she beat Greta, the Frontier Brain at the Battle Arena, pretty easily! That shows she's very strong even among Gym Leaders or Frontier Brains of the same level!"
"How could Greta's strength compare to an Elite Four member's?" Xia You shook his head. "Especially a veteran Elite Four member like Bruno. If Brandon were here, he might have a decent chance, but Bea... she's still not quite there yet."
Was Bruno really that strong?
Hearing Xia You say that, May could hardly help being astonished.
Seeing that she still wanted to say something, Xia You smiled. "All right, just know that Bruno isn't like the Elite Four in your Hoenn Region. He's very strong. Bea may have come prepared, but I suspect she still won't be a match for him in the end."
So that was it...
May nodded in apparent understanding.

Sidney, Glacia, Pheobe, and especially Mr. Drake-the Hoenn Region's Elite Four are really strong!
