For many viewers,

they knew Elite Four Level Trainers were formidable.

But they did not know exactly how formidable they were, or where that strength lay.

People who aimed high but lacked ability, theorized on paper, or thought, I could do it too if I were up there, were never in short supply in any world.

They confidently believed that if they were allowed to command equally powerful Pokémon, they could naturally achieve victory as well.

After all, from a spectator's perspective, the Trainer on the field merely issued commands at certain moments. It looked very simple, no different from an ordinary battle.

But there was clearly a considerable gap between reality and fantasy.

In an Elite Four Level battle, if they were the ones sent up there, they would likely be unable to last even two moves.

The reason Battle Tents provided Pokémon around Level 30

was because Pokémon at that level possessed greater combat power than lower-level Pokémon, made for more exciting battles, and were not particularly rare.

The Trainers watching could easily put themselves into the battle and make their own judgments.

If they thought the challengers were no good, they could always go up and challenge the Tent themselves.

Of course,

the reality was often that around two-thirds of challengers could only receive the lowest-tier rewards from the Battle Tent, or even fail to receive any reward at all.

The remaining third could barely be called outstanding.

Cases like Tetsuya's, where the battle was a complete stomp, were almost nonexistent.

no Elite Four Level Trainer would be as bored as he was and come participate in such a meaningless, uninteresting challenge.

The future Battle Frontier might have been somewhat interesting, but a Battle Tent was not worthy of his attention.

Nor would the Yuantian
