A few days later, Wyndon Stadium.
The sky is cloudless and blue.
The sunshine was so bright that it was almost luxurious, making this world-famous arena shine brightly.
Colorful flags were flying, and the huge screen Rollout played the highlights of the eight masters.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the site of Pokémon World Championships Masters Eight!"
The host's passionate voice blasted through the sound system throughout the venue, instantly overwhelming all the noise!
"After months of fierce competition, the eight strongest trainers who have stood out from countless strong players from all over the world have all gathered here!"
The host opened his arms and raised his voice:
"Here they will have a final showdown for the supreme honor of the world's strongest Pokémon Master!"
"Now, let us use the warmest applause and cheers to welcome our eight masters, who will appear one after another!"
Boom!!!!
The lights in the entire venue suddenly dimmed, leaving only a few spotlights shooting back and forth at the entrance to the passage and the center of the venue.
Exciting background music sounded, accompanied by the host's magnetic introduction:
"First up! From Galar Region, the undefeated champion, Leon!"
A tall and straight figure, wearing the iconic championship cape, strode out of the passage and waved vigorously to the surrounding auditorium.
His smile seemed to have a special sunshine effect, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the Galar audience at the scene.
"Leon! Leon! Leon!"
"Ahhhh Leon-sama, look here!"
"The undefeated myth! Galar is the strongest!"
Leon walked to the reserved position in the center of the venue, raised his fists and shouted:
"I'm very happy to be here! I will repay everyone's expectations with the most exciting battle!"
"Champion Time, never ends!"
"Ouch!!!"
He was answered with wild cheers that almost shattered his eardrums.
Somewhere in the VIP seats, Sonia excitedly grabbed the arm of Nessa next to him and shook it wildly:
"Leon! Come on! You are the best! Beat them up!"
Nessa, who was caught by her, looked helpless and tried to save his arm:
"Sonia, calm down... you are his girlfriend, not the head fanatic..."
"Next!"
The host did not wait for the cheers to subside completely, and immediately shouted in a higher pitch:
"The second person to appear is from Sinnoh Region, who has unfathomable strength and tactics."
"Sinnoh champion, Xiaoyun!!!"
After switching to the light, Xiaoyun's figure came out. Different from Leon's gorgeous attire, he just wore a jacket with Sinnoh League Badge printed on it and raised his hand casually.
But the calmness and calmness caused the whole audience to burst into crazy screams again.
"Xiaoyun! Xiaoyun! Look here!"
"Champion! I will give birth to a monkey for you!"
"Pay attention to the gender above! The championship belongs to everyone!"
"Light of Sinnoh! Charge!"
Xiaoyun walked to the position next to Leon and stood there, smiling at Leon:
"Hey, Leon, you look good."
Leon also responded with a smile, "You too, you look very relaxed."
"It's okay, I'm just a little sleepy, I got up too early." Xiaoyun made a small Yawn call.
This scene was captured by the camera and put on the big screen, which caused another scream.
"Ah ah, the champion is so handsome when he fights Yawn!"
"True! Even the champion finds Early Bird annoying!"
"Cute, I want to..."
"Who made you like this??"
Somewhere in the auditorium, Dawn held his hands on his chest and looked at Xiaoyun below with bright eyes.
Next to him, his best friend Zoey smiled and hugged Dawn's shoulders, "Okay, okay, that guy Xiaoyun will be fine for sure!"
Barry, on the other hand, held Ayaka's shoulders with one hand, pointed downwards with the other hand, and frantically pointed at the people around him that he didn't know:
"Did you see that? That was my childhood! I grew up wearing a pair of pants! Who else is there? I asked who else is there!"
Ayaka was so dizzy by his shaking that he quietly pinched the soft flesh around his waist:
"Pay attention to your image... Also, when did you and Xiaoyun wear the same pair of pants?"
Next to them, there stood Kenny, who had a slightly stiff expression and was a little hopeless, and was complaining crazily in his heart:
"Why am I here!"
He just came to Galar to participate in a Coordinator exchange event. How come he was dragged over by Barry to cheer for that bitch Xiaoyun?
As if hearing his thoughts, Barry patted his back so hard that he almost staggered:
"Don't mind, we are all buddies! Come on, let's shout together, Xiaoyun, come on!"
Kenny:"..."
Who is so special about being my buddy with you?
tnnd, Huang Mao has a girlfriend these days, but this sweet guy like him is still single...
Where is the law of heaven!
Kenny feels more depressed.
"Third place! Mr. Steven from Hoenn Region, known as the steel romantic!"
Steven was wearing a well-tailored white suit today, with a shimmering Key Stone brooch pinned to his collar, and he walked out with an elegant smile on his face.
Just like a noble gentleman coming to attend a high-end banquet, his posture is impeccable.
"Steven! Hoenn's dignity depends on you!"
Wallace couldn't help but stand up.
As we all know, he is not good at fighting, so he can only leave the "rough work" of fighting to his close friends.
Diancie: So, am I a useless thing?
"The fourth place is from Johto Region, the champion and Kanto Elite Four, the Dragon Messenger! Cross!"
Wearing a cool cape and a red spiky head, he walked out with the strides of a dragon and a tiger, nodding slightly to the surroundings, and he had a big boss aura.
Bing Elite Four Lorelei looked at the serious Du below, with a playful smile on his lips:
"Watari, there is no Ice-type this time~"
The reason why that Dragon Envoy wants to be the champion at Johto is because of this guy.
"Fifth place! From Kalos Region, the champion and international movie star, who perfectly combines elegance and power, Miss Diantha!!!"
Diantha walked out with model-like steps, a tailor-made dress that perfectly outlined her perfect figure, an impeccable smile on her face, and every movement seemed to have been carefully designed.
Well, this is called professionalism.
"Diantha! Diantha!"
"Goddess! Look at me, look at me!"
"Elegance never goes out of style!"
Alain stood in the corner with his arms folded. Although he lost to Paul and missed Masters Eight, he still came to cheer for Diantha who had helped him.
Next to him, Long Elite Four Drasna smiled and said:
"Diantha is really perfect for any occasion no matter when or where."
"The sixth one comes from Unova Region, who has the purest dragon heart, the dragon master, Iris!"
Iris almost jumped out. She was wearing Unova style ethnic costume and waved vigorously to the audience, full of energy.
"Everyone! Please give me some advice!"
Cilan looked at Hustle and Iris, and smiled and said, "It's really exciting to see what kind of flavor such a lineup will produce."
"The seventh place is from Kanto Pallet Town, the first generation Alola champion, Ash!"
Ash almost ran out and waved his fist at the audience:
"My dream is to become Pokémon Master!"
In the auditorium, Serena is sitting in the middle.
She had specially dressed up today, wearing a decent and beautiful dress, just like a real girlfriend.
On her left, May looked at Ash below, with somewhat complicated eyes.
She remembered the somewhat reckless but passionate Ash when Hoenn was traveling.
Now he is a champion.
And he's even in love!
On her right, Misty is in an even more subtle mood. As the woman who has traveled with Ash for the longest time, she has seen Ash at his most stupid and infuriating.
She couldn't even figure it out now, how could this guy who was as slow as a stone towards emotions take the initiative to pursue girls?
Serena is very charming, but he is not bad either!
What went wrong?
Xiaoyun: Of course it's because of me!
A champion and a master of emotional catalysis, he hides his merits and fame!
Serena seemed to feel the gazes of the two "seniors" next to her. She turned her head and showed them an impeccable and sweet smile:
"It's great that the two sisters can come together to cheer for Ash today. We can get together after the game is over."
"Sister May, I heard that your current Coordinator career is also very successful and you have won many Grand Festival awards. You are really amazing."
"Sister Misty, I heard that you have been traveling with Ash for the longest time. You must know many interesting things about him. I really want to talk to you."
The tone was natural and the attitude was friendly, but the faint aura of the dominant position made both Misty and May feel a little choked and panicked.
Damn it, is this the calmness of a real girlfriend?
(Brock: The one with the longest travel time? Isn't that me?)
(Pikachu: Get up! Stop talking!)
"The last one is still from Sinnoh Region, the new Elite Four, the challenger of Masters Eight with absolute strength, Paul!"
Paul walked out expressionlessly, still wearing the same purple training clothes, his eyes sternly swept across the audience, and his aura was in full swing.
It's as if I'm not here to make friends but to fight and keep strangers away.
"Paul, you are much better than my brother."
Reggie was sitting at the table of relatives and friends, looking at his brother's cool look, with a happy smile on his face.
My brother has finally reached this point, and he is happier than anyone else.
Eight contestants appeared one after another and lined up in the center of the field.
Seven championships, with one Elite Four.
This lineup can be called a meeting of champions.
"All eight masters are in place!"
The host's voice was passionate, "The next step is to decide the fateful showdown, the drawing ceremony!"
The huge screen lit up, and the heads of eight people appeared, spinning rapidly and randomly matching.
After a few seconds, the pairing result is finalized!
Game 1: Paul VS Ash
Game 2: Diantha VS Du
Game 3: Leon VS Steven
Game 4: Xiaoyun VS Iris
As soon as the lottery results came out, the whole audience was in an uproar, and then an even more heated discussion broke out!
"Is it me and Paul in the first game?"
Ash looked at the pairing on the screen and was stunned for a moment. Then his eyes ignited with flames of war and he turned to look at Paul not far away.
"This time, I still won't lose!"
Paul also turned his head and looked at Ash:
"This result is not bad."
As for fighting Xiaoyun? Anyway, we are all colleagues, and there will be many opportunities for us to learn from each other in the future.
"Are you dueling with that kid Ash? These two are really destined."
Reggie looked at the results on the screen with an interesting smile.
The red thread of fate is really wonderful.
The second game, Diantha VS Du.
"This guy is really unlucky."
When Lorelei saw this pairing, the gloating in his eyes almost overflowed.
She remembers clearly that Diantha's trump card Gardevoir is Fairy-type!
This attribute restraint is simply more extreme than her Ice-type!
"I..."
The moment Du saw the list, the expression on his face froze.
His luck... is so good!
First there was Lorelei, and now there's Diantha!
Damn the matching mechanism, Dragon-type trainers have no rights, right?
Diantha covered his lips and smiled, "It seems that we are expected to advance to the semi-finals."
Well, I have good luck today.
Thank you to the goddess of fate~
The third game, Leon VS Steven.
"Hoenn is a former champion? It's true that he has never fought before."
Leon looked at Steven opposite, with fighting spirit rising in his eyes.
Fighting against different types of strong men was exactly what he was looking forward to!
"Is this Leon just here? It's plenty."
Steven's eyes became equally sharp.
Leon, the undefeated champion of Galar, is recognized as one of the strongest candidates in the world.
Such an opponent is exactly what he wants!
The fourth game, Xiaoyun VS Iris.
"Ah! Why is it Xiaoyun when you come here!"
When Iris saw the pairing, he immediately lowered his head, and the full energy he had just lost disappeared.
When she traveled with Ash, Xiaoyun left a huge psychological shadow on her!
Those endless mythical beasts, weird tactics, and the ridiculously powerful Sceptile... what a fight!
Help! I really want to quit the competition!
Is it still too late to buy back tickets for Unova?
"Iris, that's quite... not bad."
Xiaoyun showed a "kind" smile.
Well, in the acquaintance game, could you start with a lighter touch?
The draw is over and the matchup has been decided!
"So, Masters Eight main game, first round, first game"
The host announced loudly and waved his arms violently!
"Paul player, versus Ash player!"
"Please get ready, both players, the competition will start in ten minutes!"
"Come on, you two."
Xiaoyun raised his eyebrows at the two.
"I'm optimistic about you, Paul."
Steven patted Paul on the shoulder.
Metagross and a lot of equipment are sponsored by him. Rounding up, he is also half the master of Paul.
Leon also gave a thumbs up to Ash:
"Ash, let me see your progress!"
Others also sent their blessings and then left, leaving the battlefield to the two of them.
Ten minutes later.
Ash and Paul stood in their respective fighting positions, looking at each other across the field. The referee stood in the center.
"Now, let's go to the first round and the first match of Masters Eight! The two sides are: player Paul, and player Ash!"
"The rules are 3 vs. 3 Single Battle! Both sides can choose to use any one of Dynamax, Z-Move or Mega Evolution once during the battle!"
"When all three Pokémons on one side lose their ability to fight, the game ends!"
"Then, the game begins!"
The moment the referee's flag was waved, the whole audience was in an uproar!
"Go, Dragonite!"
Ash was the first to throw Poké Ball
"Roar!"
The orange Dragonite appeared, suspended in mid-air, and let out a calm dragon roar.
After being tempered in the Great Ball stage, this Dragonite has long lost its immaturity and has become one of the reliable and powerful players in the hands of Ash.
