Since no one from the Unova Region made it to the Eight Masters, let's invite Sir Adike over as a guest star. Now trainers from Unova have no choice but to pay attention to the championship tournament.
"Can't handle it anymore~ It's so lively, even more so than the Alliance Conference!" Chairman Damaranche listened to the noises from all over the venue, smiling from ear to ear.
At this moment, although the four of them wore smiles, their hearts were anything but calm.
Is Kamon really going to send out the King of Holy Pillar? How will Fang Yuan respond? And what will the tournament turn into?
It wasn't just them whose minds were racing; presidents of other regions were also paying attention to the match from various parts of the venue, just not all of them showed up.
Besides...
On the player's platform...
Karuna in a gorgeous dress, Da Wu in a black suit, Mr. Leon in a Battle Tower Suit, and Mikkeli in a white gown, these players scheduled to battle tomorrow, were all watching the temporarily empty field from different directions, no... even Du and Hirona, who still had matches in the afternoon, were present, gazing intently at the arena below.
Clearly, they all wanted to know how Fang Yuan planned to deal with Kamon.
"Fang Yuan won't bring out Groudon, Kyogre, will he?" Da Wu spoke after a moment of silence.
"Chances are slim," Mikkeli shook his head.
The two huddled together, discussing. They were among the few who believed Fang Yuan would go all out, especially since Da Wu knew how much Fang Yuan valued the Tablets.
Thump!!
As everyone focused on the field, suddenly, the lights dimmed, and a loud voice resonated.
Ladies and gentlemen!!
The moment has finally arrived!!
The greatest and largest Pokémon battle celebration in the world is about to begin!!
"I am Deng Pei, the referee and commentator responsible for the Pokémon World Championship knockout rounds!!!"
With the sudden change, the entire venue fell silent, then in the spotlight, a man dressed in black and white referee's attire, with yellow hair and a beard, appeared in midair above the center of the field!
This referee named Deng Pei was standing on top of an Aegislash in its shield form, which served as his aerial vehicle. The Aegislash flitted through the air, carrying Deng Pei along, both moving surprisingly agile and graceful, quickly drawing everyone's attention.
Deng Pei is the most famous referee in the Galar Region, responsible for the more important Gym challenges and the Champion Cup battles. It is said that before becoming a referee, he was also a top-level Trainer with formidable strength.
"Before the battle, let me introduce a special guest for this event, the President of the Alliance Executive Committee that manages the Sacred Fire and often serves as the head of the Pokémon League Conferences, Chairman Damaranche!!"
"The president of the Marlocom Group, who is also the head of the Pokémon World Championship knockout rounds, the President of the Pokémon League of Galar, President Loz!!!"
"The legendary figure who held the Pokémon League Champion title for 18 years, a record that remains unbroken to this day, the former Champion of the Galar Region, and mentor to our undefeated Master Leon, Master Masde!!!"
"And the Champion of the Unova Region for 15 years, just like Master Masde, a legendary figure who has discovered several Elite Masters, Sir Adike!!!"
Under the lights, riding the Aegislash, Referee and Commentator Deng Pei, announced each name with great fervor, his voice causing a wave of applause and cheers to erupt around the venue.
On the chairman's platform, Chairman Damaranche, President Loz, Master Masde, and Sir Adike all offered smiles to the audience.
Now, please welcome the battling participants to the arena! First up, from the Battle Frontier, the intellectual force behind the Battle Pyramid, known as the Pyramid Pharaoh, competitor Kamon!!"
At the sound of his voice, Kamon, dressed in his Green Adventure Suit, slowly walked onto the field.
"The next competitor to enter is the player who has not lost a single match since joining the championship, maintaining a 100% win rate, and has quickly reached the master class with the momentum of a dark horse, Fang Yuan!!"
From another passage, this time, Fang Yuan was back in his red and white battle uniform, walking step by step toward the field under the watchful eyes of the entire audience.
After a moment...
Fang Yuan and Kamon stood on opposite sides of the vast arena.
The lights focused on them, and the audience was eager to know what they would say before the battle began.
Or rather, they were more eager to know what Fang Yuan was feeling at this moment.
It wasn't easy to have made it this far into the championship knockout rounds only to face a situation like this, to be facing the King of Holy Pillar. His mood must be awful.
When the Beast Man meets an even stronger beast man, it's a turn of events many are thrilled to observe.
"Young man, you are very powerful. I've watched your battles, and you are one of the most outstanding young Trainers I've ever seen. However, I'm sorry, I need to win this battle," said Sir Shinto.
"Is your Regirock's injury that bad?" asked Fang Yuan.
To wake the rampaging King of Holy Pillar, it seemed Kamon had risked everything.
This uncle, like Xiaozhi, was ruthless when it came to harnessing the power of Legendary Pokémon.
"Yes, it has been in slumber for half a year now," Kamon replied, his face serious, feeling that they could not afford any delay.
During this period, he had sought many methods, but in the end, it seemed he had no choice but to rely on the power of the King of Holy Pillar and the Tablets to heal the Rock God Column.
