Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

to be frank.

Before actually coming into contact with Groudon, who could have imagined that this legendary, ancient, ferocious behemoth, a terrifying being that ruled the earth in the ancient times, would have such a personality?

However, if you think about it carefully, you can roughly understand the reason.

Groudon may have survived for a long time, but its experience is probably not as extensive as that of an average person.

after all.

Every time it appears, it's fighting with Kyogre, then Rayquaza shows up to beat them up, and then it's forced to go back to sleep. How much experience can it possibly have?

He's definitely much simpler than a seasoned guy like Zygarde.

Of course, Xia Yan automatically ignored what happened during the time he escorted Groudon home at sea.

"Alright. Go and register with Little Hoopa. Today's 'First Divine Beast Tournament' is now over."

After saying that, Xia Yan waved to Xiao Hupa.

Broken thread, Hupa.

"Lao lao—"

Little Huba understood instantly.

After the "meeting" ended, Xia Yan's "Thousand Cosmic Arm" suddenly lit up.

Arceus: How come no one notified it about this meeting?

Is Arceus the leader of the mythical beasts, or is Xia Yan the leader?

Arceus suddenly had a series of illusions.

It's been sidelined!

...

...

"Sorry to keep you all waiting! The battle of the 'Eight Masters' is about to begin!"

The host's voice echoed throughout the venue.

Amidst the clamor and shouts of countless people, the final battle between the "Eight Masters" officially began.

"Without further ado, let's begin. The match list for the 'Eight Masters'!"

The words fell.

On the huge screen, the avatars of eight people began to scroll.

Natsuhiko, Lance, Lorelei, Daigo Zuvoki, Cynthia, Leon, Crimson, and Blue.

There are eight people in total, and each of them has a considerable number of supporters.

As each scrolling icon stopped, gasps of surprise rose from the audience.

These eight people, no matter who faces whom, seem to be very interesting to watch.

finally.

The match lineup for today has been finalized.

Xia Yan's first opponent in the "Eight Masters" segment has also appeared.

A gentle smile, short silver hair with a hint of light blue, an elegant suit, and graceful movements.

It was none other than the number one handsome, rich, and successful man in the Pokémon world, Daigo Zuvoki!

[Xia Yan VS Zifuqi Daigo]!

The battle for the title of the world's most handsome man!

...

I ran into Daigo.

Xia Yan rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

Not surprising, I suppose.

After all, there are only eight people left, so it wouldn't be surprising to run into anyone.

next to.

Upon seeing that his opponent was Natsuhiko, Daigo did not show any dissatisfaction or frustration; on the contrary, he seemed quite excited.

A gentle smile played on his lips, and his gaze toward Xia Yan held a complex mix of emotions.

The two met in Golden City.

They met by chance at the "Silver Battle Club" where Xia Yan worked.

then.

Xia Yan was just a sparring partner, while Daigo was already a rich and handsome guy.

Two people of completely different social standing actually formed a friendship after that encounter.

and.

Since then, the two have not only been friends, but also partners and competitors.

Moreover, the two also participated in many competitions together.

For example, there's the "Lily of the Valley Youth Tournament," the "Alola Islands Tournament," and even the "Masters Tournament."

It was through these competitions that the "competition" between the two became more apparent.

Of course.

Beyond the competition, what they shared most was their friendship forged through thick and thin.

We've been through many events, big and small, together and built a deep friendship.

Anyway.

Daigo is not only incredibly strong and powerful, but his family is also very wealthy, and he also has some peculiar little quirks—

The director is very knowledgeable.

After the match schedule between Natsuhiko and Daigo was announced.

The camera then switched directly to the lounge.

The scene of Daigo and Natsuhiko looking at each other was perfectly captured.

"Wow—they're so handsome! I don't want any of them to be eliminated, what should I do?"

"I didn't sense even the slightest hint of tension! What were those looks on Daigo and Natsuhiko's faces?"

"Bromance! Without a doubt, this is bromance that transcends friendship!"

"Tsk, Champion Daigo and Champion Natsuhiko are still single, could it be...?"

"Upstairs, you dare not remain anonymous? You're probably going to get targeted by the boss!" — From Da Ye.

"..."

In a short time.

The style of comments in online live streams has begun to change drastically.

From the initial battle between Daigo and Natsuhiko, to the reason why neither of them had a partner, then to Natsuhiko's relationship with Cynthia, and finally—

So, what should be done about crossing the river?

Of course, Xia Yan and the others were unaware of these discussions.

At least for now, they are unaware of it.

"Don't hold back," Daigo said earnestly to Natsuhiko.

"rest assured."

This will definitely be something you'll never forget.

in fact.

Besides the highly anticipated match between Natsuhiko and Daigo, the other matches are also quite exciting.

For example.

【Dragon Crossing VS Pill Emperor】

The battle between the Johto Champion and the Galar Champion!

In Xia Yan's view, it is also very likely to be a battle to vindicate Watari.

In the original story, Lance's Dynamaxed Gyarados lost to Leon's Gigantamax Charizard.

But in Xia Yan's opinion, that battle was quite outrageous.

If it weren't for the fact that Du Du was a person whose character I trusted enough.

Xia Yan even suspected that Du had been paid to force the alliance to push for Dan Di.

He can lose.

But we can't lose in a way that's incomprehensible to others.

Then the second group.

Cynthia vs. Kelena

Kona felt it was a bit of a pity that she didn't get to meet Watari Natsuhiko.

but.

The duel between the only two female masters among the "Eight Masters" is quite a spectacle.

and.

Cynthia's ace Garchomp, being a Dragon/Ground type Pokémon, is also four times weak to Ice-type moves.

Kona isn't completely without a chance; there's still some suspense in this match.

As for the last group...
