Chapter 1163
"The first to appear is the eighth of the Eight Masters——
The first champion of the Alola region, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Flying System in the Kanto region, a rare trainer who holds positions in two regional alliances, a shining new star, Ash from Pallet Town!"
Amidst the cheers, Ash carried Pikachu on his shoulders, showed his unique passionate smile, and waved to the audience who supported him.
Among these people, there were loyal fans of "Ash" who came from the Alola region, and the Pallet Town cheering group formed by Professor Oak. The gentle woman was rarely full of fighting spirit today, and Hanako, as a mother, waved the flag in her hand vigorously.
On the other side, next to the Pallet Town cheering group were Xiaozhi's former travel companions in various regions, as well as friends he met along the way and had a deep friendship with -
Xiaxia, Xiaogang, Xiaoyao, Xiaosheng, Xiaoguang, Tiantong, Serena, Citron, Yurika, Professor Kukui and his wife and son Ray, Liliae, Gladion... and other partners in Alola, and even Xiaochun from Sakuragi Institute.
And many other friends and rivals he met during the journey also came to the scene, such as Furula from Asia Island, and rivals Ahong and Ye Yue.
At this time, their expressions were happy, relieved, and complicated.
No one expected that the young boy who once shouted that he wanted to become a Pokémon master would really step onto the stage to decide the world's strongest trainer.
Especially those rivals, many of them are still struggling in the league meeting, and only a few have improved their strength.
After Xiaozhi appeared on the stage, it was Alice, who was called the young champion of the Unova region and the seventh of the eight masters by the host, who appeared on the stage.
Her fan club in the Unova region is also close to the number of Xiaozhi's fan clubs.
After Alice came on stage, the host's rhythmic voice paused, and the tone suddenly changed, shouting: "Please allow me to solemnly introduce to you, a world-famous hero with countless achievements, the sixth of the Eight Masters, the trainer, Su Hao!"
If it is said that the fans of the major champions will cheer hard when they appear on stage, as the only Eight Master who has almost no clear place of belonging, because of his world-famous reputation, even passers-by will applaud and cheer when he appears on stage.
Even other champions have almost no such world-class appeal.
Amid the cheers, Su Hao smiled and waved to all the audience, with a little surprise between his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, he also has such a large number of wild fans.
He thought that his support would definitely not be as good as the other seven Eight Masters who were born and raised in the Pokémon world.
After Su Hao, the host introduced the remaining five Eight Masters.
There is the world-class actress, Kalos League Champion Kaluna, who ranks fifth among the Eight Masters.
There is the upright, criminal-killing Dragon Envoy, League Investigator, and double champion of the Kanto and Johto League, Adu, who ranks fourth among the Eight Masters.
There is the elegant nobleman, the heir of Devon Company, and the League Champion of the Hoenn region, Daigo, who ranks third among the Eight Masters.
There is the world-famous archaeologist, the female warrior of the Sinnoh region, and the League Champion Sirona, who ranks second among the Eight Masters.
There is also the current world's strongest king, who has never lost a single official battle, the temporary president of the Galar League, the undefeated Galar League Champion, the world's strongest, invincible player, Dantei!
When the eight people officially gathered on the stage, as the current world's number one, Dantei got the only chance to speak.
When the host asked him what he wanted to say to the other seven opponents.
Dandi's golden eyes seemed to have ignited the flame of fighting spirit. He swung his cape printed with advertisements and made his signature pose -
Championship moment!
At the same time, his fighting voice rang out.
"Come on!"
"My Pokémon and I will defeat all the opponents in front of us!"
After Dandi's voice fell, not to mention the thoughts of the other seven masters, many of Dandi's fans almost blushed and shouted his name desperately.
The host also raised his eyebrows and said excitedly: "It seems that our strongest champion, the invincible Dandi, also left a declaration of victory!"
"It really makes people look forward to the official start of the game!"
"Then, without further ado, let's start drawing opponents for each player now!"
Amidst the expectant expressions, the avatars of the players scrolled quickly on the big screen hanging in the arena.
And the host also read out the groups one by one.
"The first match in the upper half, Xiaozhi vs. Karuna!"
"The second match in the upper half, Alice vs. Adu!""The first match of the lower half, Dante vs. Daigo!"
"The second match of the lower half, Shirona vs. Su Hao!"
"The above is the grouping information of the eight masters' elimination match in this Pokémon World Championship!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the atmosphere in the audience was completely ignited!
"The first match of the upper half, is this going to continue the regrettable duel in the Super Kalos region!?"
"Fuck, a battle between dragon champions!"
"Dandi Dante, invincible in the world!"
"Daigo Daigo, strong and powerful!"
"Oh no, brothers, the Shirona champion is my goddess, sorry, I betrayed!"
"This grouping is good, don't do it again next time!"
"There is a shady deal, return the money!!!"
.....................
The draw is over.
The eight masters left the stage with the reluctant expressions of the audience and returned to the lounge.
Because of the density of the battles, the first and second rounds of the upper half will be held in the morning after the opening ceremony.
The first and second rounds of the lower half will be held in the afternoon.
Then, the semi-finals of the two half-zones will be held in the morning and afternoon respectively on the second day.
The third day will be the much-anticipated finals to determine the strongest in the world!
In a little while, the battle field that has been reorganized will welcome the first round of the knockout match.
The first champion of the Alola region, the flying four kings of the Kanto region, Xiaozhi VS the champion of the Kalos League, Kaluna!
The first round of the battle will adopt the 1VS1 battle rules. It can be said that one wrong step will lead to an irreversible situation.
It can be foreseen that in the eight-to-four game, each champion will show his or her own unique skills and use the full-strength battle of ace to ace to decide the winner.
There was also a heated discussion in the audience.
There is no doubt that Karen will definitely send her trump card Gardevoir.
So, who will Xiaozhi send?
