Unlike the matches at the Battle Frontier, this time, the tournament organizers didn’t assign a fixed venue or time for the battle. In fact, the notes section explicitly said: “Coordinate with Larry to decide the battle location.”
August figured this had something to do with Larry’s day job.
After all, as an employee of the Lea...

Gary-senpai, you’re way too easy to read!
But… who’s this Ash guy?
August paused to consider Pearl’s question, then replied, “A super rookie. Type-countering specialist. Master of releasing Pokémon.”
Pearl didn't quite get it, but she could tell it sounded impressive.
To earn that many titles, this Mr. Ash must be r...

The path was crowded—no surprise, considering the uproar “Irida” had caused last night. Anyone who wasn’t awake by now would have to be deaf.
Murmured discussions buzzed all around them, but neither Elias nor Lucario paid them any mind.
However, Elias did notice somet...

She was writing a post-match analysis.
To her, the way the tournament ended had been far too abrupt. She’d unexpectedly run into Elias in only the second round—something she hadn’t anticipated at all.
But that didn’t discourage her.

She hadn’t fully grasped everything Cynthia and Elias were discussing, but one thing was clear:
A highly dangerous Pokémon had appeared near the camp.
And what’s worse—it shared similar abilities with her.
If that Pokémon went on a rampage, she would be the first suspect. No question about it.
That’s why...

Holding up the mask, Irida beamed as she asked.
“It does.”
Elias nodded in approval, then reached for a mask himself.
It had a pleasing texture—cool and smooth to the touch.
The base was white, accented with bold, vivid strokes of crimson. Its coloration looked quite a bit like Zoroark’s.
Not that he meant to wear it himself.<...

And even then...
