"But Old Man Ma, in this championship tournament, your disciple Danti might be in some danger, that Fang Yuan is no simple character."
"Fang Yuan??" Master was stunned and then laughed, "Well, I look forward to it then."
"By the way, do you want to go with me to the VIP seating to watch the match?"
Trainers of various levels were discussing the championship tournament, even within the Rainbow Rocket Team, Giovanni Boss was watching the live broadcast with a group of executives.
"It's out, it's out, it's out!!"
At 10 o'clock sharp in the morning.
As the schedule interface of the championship tournament APP refreshed, Trainers in Gongmen City as well as those in Galar and even the entire world who were following the tournament held their breath.
The draw for the eight Master Class participants was completed.
First match: Kamon vs Fang Yuan.
Second match: Hirona vs Lance.
Third match: Da Wu vs Mikkeli.
Fourth match: Danti vs Karune.
"This draw is too perfect."
"If Mr. Lance and Miss Karuna switched places, it would be even more perfect."
"This round, I suspect it wasn't the players who drew lots, but the officials manipulating it maliciously according to the forum trends."
Countless people were staring at the interface, frantically brainstorming the trends of the battles.
......
......
The eight Masters have finished drawing lots.
Eight players, four matches.
The decisive championship, which is the knockout stage, has the rule that there will be two battles each day, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.
That is to say, the first and second matches will take place tomorrow morning and afternoon, respectively.
The third and fourth matches will be held the day after tomorrow, again in the morning and afternoon.
Winners will advance, continuing from the final four to the final two, with losers eliminated until the strongest champion is decided.
The battle rules are 1VS1, primarily a showdown of the players' Trump Card Pokemon.
However, due to the tight schedule, if the Trump Card Pokemon is injured and can't recover in time, it must be replaced with another main Pokemon.
So, it is possible for the final to see a showdown between two players with non-Trump Card Pokemon.
"Fang Yuan... Kamon?"
At this moment, those keeping an eye on Fang Yuan were slightly startled upon seeing this matchup.
Speaking of Kamon, the Battle Frontier has to be mentioned.
The Battle Frontier is similar to Gyms, hailed as "the forefront of Pokemon battling," with each battling facility hosting experts. Many regions have Battle Frontiers as well, which are quite famous places.
And Sir Shinto is the pioneering head of the Battle Pyramid facility, known as "Pyramid Pharaoh."
Kamon is an adventurer and archaeologist, who has been on countless life-threatening expeditions, honing his strength time after time on the edge of death, embodying the symbol of "valor."
What's most talked about is that Kamon, during his adventures, defeated and captured three God Pillars; after which, these three God Pillars gradually became the representative Pokemon of this Pyramid Pharaoh.
For example, in this championship, he used Steel God Pillar Registeel and Ice God Pillar Regice to defeat one opponent after another, securing his seat among the eight Masters. Both God Pillars, in terms of strength, are on par with High-level Champions.
Among the three famed 'Beast Men' of the tournament, apart from Tobias and Fang Yuan, he is the third.
Undoubtedly, as an elder Trainer, Kamon's strength and experience are both at Champion Level.
With Fang Yuan matching against him, people didn't know whether it was good or bad, but considering how far they've come, it doesn't really make much difference who the opponent is since every remaining player is formidable.
...
Inside the Palace Arena.
The Master Class players were holding the draw results and looking at their opponents.
Hirona gave Lance a slight smile, and Lance smiled back, though with a bit of a headache.
Out of all these people, the last he wanted to meet first were Hirona, Danti, and Fang Yuan, and yet he had indeed drawn one of them.
But with so few people, there wasn't much he could do about the draw.
...No panic, no panic, his Dragonite in its normal state was equal to a Top Guardian God, capable of Legendary Combat Power with Z-Moves or Gigantamax, and even without these, they had special cards up their sleeve that could match Legendary Combat Power, not afraid at all of Hirona's Mega Sharpedo!
"Ah, this."
On the other side, Da Wu and Mikkeli were both dumbfounded.
They had often battled each other in private, so why, during the championship, was it still them facing off?
Couldn't they have drawn someone else, even Fang Yuan for that matter?
However, this draw, to some in the Area of Fragrant Fate who shipped the Da Wu X Mikkeli pairing, was cause for ecstatic joy.
Marvelous, this draw was as wonderful as a Bulbasaur who ate Miraculous Horn and evolved into an Ivysaur, then drank Wonderful Detergent and evolved into a Venusaur, ultimately entering Mickey's Wonderful House - the ultimate fan service.
As for Danti and Karune, the matchup was quite harmonious, it was easy to tell it would end up being Gigantamax Vs Mega Evolution.
"Mr. Kamon, please give me your guidance."
"Young man, I did not expect my first opponent to be you," said Kamon with a serious expression, looking quite fierce at Fang Yuan.
But Fang Yuan knew this uncle was actually quite nice; oh right, Kamon was the one who would seal away the Pokemon King Pokelandis in the future.
...
After the drawing of lots, each Master Class player began to feel a sense of urgency.
Well, of course, Fang Yuan did not.
He was here for the championship and the Tablet; a sense of urgency, nonexistent for him.
Additionally, after the drawing of lots was completed, everyone was understandably less than thrilled.
