Meanwhile, the Brownblood tournament was proceeding just exactly as expected. It took the whole day, but the seeding for the final part was locked in.
Of course, since Jaku opted out of the test, he became dead last on the seeding.
"Wake up!" yelled Brock.
Jaku groggily opened his eyes and looked around. "What?" he asked, rubbing his eyes.
"It's time for you to fight your next opponents!"
Jaku yawned and took a second of silence before he fully processed what Brock just said.
"Wait, did you say opponents?"
"Yes, opponents! You'll be fighting three people in quick succession."
Jaku just stared at Brock for a few seconds. "....huh?"
Brock put his hands on his waist like a disappointed father. "Yeah, that's what happens when you're in the last seeding. Didn't you listen to the explanation?"
