The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

But unfortunately,

Anyone can participate in this Alola League Manalo Tournament.

The qualifiers adopted a free-for-all format.

决出16强之后以1VS1的方式决出前4强，从4强赛开始才采取2VS2的方式，从决赛开始才以3VS3的方式决出冠军，

The three points that Ash disagreed with, but which Dr. Kukui advocated, were unanimously approved in the newly formed Alola League.

This made Ash sigh. The reason why the Alola League Manalo Conference in the original anime was criticized by viewers as a rural, low-quality league with a low-value champion was mainly due to these three points. Sigh.

Are the people in the Alola region really that averse to catching Pokémon? Are there really so few trainers with six or more Pokémon? Can't the entire Alola region even muster a little over a hundred trainers?

If this were in other regions, there would be tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands.

For example, if you want to participate in a league tournament in another region, even if you have eight badges, would you dare to participate if you don't have six Pokémon? What if it gets to a 6-on-6 all-out battle later on? Wouldn't I be at a disadvantage if I didn't have enough Pokémon?

Not everyone is like Kotetsu, who doesn't even know how many Pokémon to bring, yet he still made it into the top eight.

However, there is a difference. Kotetsu had enough Pokémon, but he forgot to bring them because he misremembered the rules and mistakenly thought that All-Round Battles were 5 vs. 5.

The Aloramen didn't even manage to capture six of them.

However, Ash did manage to secure one thing: the first regional champion of Alola will be decided by the first champion of the Alola League Manalo Conference in a battle against the Royal Masked Man. This will be a 6 vs 6 all-out battle, which makes up for Ash's regret that there wasn't even a single 6 vs 6 all-out battle in the entire League tournament.

No one objected to the idea of ​​having the tournament champion fight the Royal Masked Man to determine the regional champion, since the Royal Masked Man was incredibly popular in Alola, and almost everyone in Alola believed that the Royal Masked Man was the strongest in Alola.

Ash already knew that Professor Kukui was the masked royal man, and he had even asked Professor Kukui to reveal his identity to him before.

Therefore, Dr. Kukui did not object.

After all, he himself wanted to fight more strong opponents to become stronger, which suited his wishes perfectly.

This is also what attracts more people to participate in the competition.

Can you believe it? What ignites the passion of the Alola region for the competition is not the honor and status of winning the championship, nor the trophies and prizes, but the opportunity to fight against the Royal Masked Man.

Even Ash, who was doing very well in various places, couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Royal Masked Men in the Alola region.

After the press conference, this bombshell news immediately caused a huge uproar throughout the Alora region, topped the trending searches, and almost everyone was discussing the topic.

Kachi, who was watching from the audience, was already fired up. As the fire captain of Akala Island and the apprentice island king, he immediately decided to participate in the competition and aim to win.

Furthermore, encouraged by Principal Oki and Dr. Barnett, Shui Lian, Mamane, Mao, and Lillie also prepared to try their hand at participating in the competition.

Those watching the press conference simultaneously included not only people at the venue, but also those in the live broadcast room and in front of their televisions, including Gladgio, Haw, and others.

And there's Ilima, who's currently training in the Carlos region.

And Guzma and the members of the Skull Team in Po Town on Ula Ula Island.

That evening, a three-hour special program was broadcast on all channels about the news, and Alora TV was almost overwhelmed with scheduling for it.

This unexpectedly drew the attention of the Skull Team members who were gathered around the only television set in Po Town, which was nearing its end, and they reported it to Guzma and Bulmi.

"Big brother, what should we do?"

In response to Bulme's beautiful question, Guzma gave a disdainful sneer and said,

"Needless to say, I'm going to destroy that ridiculous Pokémon League!"

"Everyone assemble, we're going to Melody Island."

"Yes."

The morning after this press conference,

Led by their elder brother Guzma and their leader Bulmeli, the large and imposing Skull Team members arrived at the entrance of the Pokémon School on Melemele Island.

They swaggered into the school, completely ignoring that it was during class time.

"How does it feel, you lousy yet awesome brothers?" Guzma shouted.

"Still depressed, terribly bad!!!"

"Very anxious, but fantastic!!!"

"That's life, that's all there is to it."

After Guzma finished speaking, he beckoned to his two henchmen, who immediately understood and ran to the foot of one of the teaching buildings, shouting loudly upstairs.

"Kukui, come out here, we need to talk to you."

Professor Kukui was not in the classroom at the moment because he was discussing the establishment of the Alola League with Ash and Principal Oak in the principal's office.

However, many students, including Kachi and Mamane, were already fed up with the noise from the Skull Team, and they were even more outraged to hear them being so disrespectful to Dr. Kukui.

The group immediately came down from the teaching building and arrived at the school gate.

Although they saw a huge horde of skeletons in front of them, they were not intimidated.

"Skull Team, what are you doing here today?" Kachi, the leader, asked angrily first.

"Needless to say, hurry up and get Kukui out here."

Relying on the support of Brother Guzma, Sister Bulmi, and their many companions, these two Skull Team members were extremely arrogant and domineering today.

"I don't know why you want to see me, but school is still in session. We can talk about it after class."

Dr. Kukui walked over and said that this group of people was too noisy. Not only were they disrupting the normal class order at school, but he could even hear the noise from outside in the principal's office.

"Dr. Kukui!"

Upon seeing Professor Kukui arrive, the students at the Pokémon School instantly felt reassured and saw a reliable support.
