At that moment, Sam felt a little uneasy.
After all, he already had a girlfriend—Erika.
And now there was also Sabrina.
Under normal circumstances, any girlfriend would become jealous in a situation like this.
But could he really be blamed?
Was there anything wrong with being attractive?
However, Erika's reaction was completely different from what Sam had expected.
She looked at him seriously and said,
"Sabrina likes you, and I like you too."
"So even if I have to compete fairly with her, I won't give up."
Sam stared at Erika in surprise.
Only now did he truly realize how important he was in Erika's heart.
"I don't know what you're thinking," Erika continued, "but I won't give up on you."
"I'll compete fairly with Sabrina."
Then she puffed out her chest proudly.
"Am I not pretty enough?"
"Or are my breasts not big enough compared to hers?"
Sam couldn't help laughing.
"You're both wonderful, so stop comparing yourselves."
In truth, there was something else he wanted to say.
What he really wanted to say was:
If possible, having both of you wouldn't be bad at all.
Of course, he didn't dare say that out loud.
He quite liked being alive.
After that, Sam and Erika slowly walked back together.
Although Sam had finally told Erika about Sabrina, it didn't affect their relationship in the slightest.
Erika naturally held his hand as they returned home.
For Sam, finally speaking about it felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
Some things were better said than left unsaid.
Back at home, Sam began studying the competitors who would participate in the Masters Tournament.
The first person on the list was Karen.
Her participating Pokémon were:
Murkrow
Type: Dark/Flying
Category: Darkness Pokémon
Ability: Insomnia
Hidden Ability: Prankster
Strength: Champion Beginner Level
Gengar
Type: Ghost/Poison
Ability: Cursed Body
Strength: Champion Beginner Level
Umbreon
Type: Dark
Category: Moonlight Pokémon
Ability: Synchronize
Hidden Ability: Psychic Power
Strength: Champion Beginner Level
As far as Karen was concerned, Sam wasn't overly worried.
He already understood most of her Pokémon.
The only thing he truly needed to watch out for was the mysterious Dark Energy.
The second contestant surprised him.
She was another kimono-clad dancer from Ecruteak City.
According to the information, she was one of Miki's sisters.
Her name was Sakura.
Sakura's Pokémon lineup was similar to Miki's:
Flareon
Type: Fire
Ability: Flash Fire
Hidden Ability: Guts
Strength: Champion Intermediate Level
Espeon
Type: Psychic
Category: Sun Pokémon
Ability: Synchronize
Hidden Ability: Magic Bounce
Strength: Champion Intermediate Level
Jolteon
Type: Electric
Category: Lightning Pokémon
Ability: Volt Absorb
Hidden Ability: Quick Feet
Strength: Champion Intermediate Level
All three Pokémon were at the Champion Intermediate level.
Combined with the extremely rare Espeon, Sakura was clearly not someone to underestimate.
The next contestant was another one of the sisters.
Her name was Kuni.
Her Pokémon were:
Flareon
Type: Fire
Ability: Flash Fire
Hidden Ability: Guts
Strength: Champion Intermediate Level
Espeon
Type: Psychic
Category: Sun Pokémon
Ability: Synchronize
Hidden Ability: Magic Bounce
Strength: Champion High Level
Vaporeon
Type: Water
Category: Bubble Jet Pokémon
Ability: Water Absorb
Hidden Ability: Hydration
Strength: Champion Intermediate Level
Kuni's lineup was similar to Miki's.
However, her Espeon had already reached the Champion High Level.
Without question, Kuni appeared to be the strongest among the five sisters.
Sam suddenly became very curious about the group of kimono dancers from Ecruteak City.
The next name was someone he knew very well.
Claire.
She was one of Sam's longtime rivals.
Just like before, Claire specialized almost entirely in Dragon-type Pokémon.
She had caused Sam a great deal of trouble during the Kanto League.
Her strength was unquestionably formidable.
Her Pokémon lineup consisted of:
Dragonair
Type: Dragon
Category: Dragon Pokémon
Ability: Shed Skin
Hidden Ability: Marvel Scale
Strength: Champion Beginner Level
Kingdra
Type: Water/Dragon
Category: Dragon Pokémon
Ability: Swift Swim
Hidden Ability: Damp
Strength: Champion Intermediate Level
Hydreigon
Type: Dark/Dragon
Category: Brutal Pokémon
Ability: Levitate
Strength: Champion Level
As he looked over the information, Sam's expression gradually became more serious.
It seemed that the Masters Tournament would be far more challenging than he had expected.
