The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

As soon as Dr. Kukui finished speaking, a murmur of discussion arose from the crowd below the stage.

However, no one had any objection to the rule; they just didn't expect it to be adopted this way.

After the banquet, everyone dispersed and returned to their rooms in the athletes' village to rest and prepare for tomorrow's competition.

Ash also took some time to call Professor Oak.

Professor Oak told Ash over the phone to keep up the good work, explaining that he'd been quite busy with work these past few days and could only cheer him on from the TV.

However, I should be able to go to the finals to cheer for Ash, and I'll bring Ash's mom, Hanako, along to support him.

After receiving Ash's call, Brock, Dawn, May, Touko, Misty, Serena, Clemont, and other friends who were unable to attend the match also cheered Ash on over the phone and said they would watch the live broadcast of Ash's match on TV.

Silent all night.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, a flood of spectators rushed into the Manaro Arena. It seemed like everyone from the entire Alora region was there, and the place was bustling with noise and excitement.

Meanwhile, many people were watching the live broadcast of the competition on television.

Professor Oak, Trick, and Hanako from Pallet Town

Koharu and Professor Sakuragi from Koba City

Xiaoyao, traveling somewhere in the Carlos region

Hikaru, traveling somewhere in the Johto region

Touko and Narui are traveling somewhere in the Kanto region.

Serena is traveling somewhere in the Hoenn region.

Clemont and Yurika, siblings, along with Sitrot, are at the Lucerne Gym in Lucerne City.

Shinji and Raiji, brothers from Veiled City

……

All the teachers and students of Quartz Academy and Blueberry Academy watched Ash's tournament competition together under the organization of their respective principals, and then wrote a reflection of several thousand words and submitted it.

Rivals from other regions are also challenging each other in the regional league tournaments.

At this moment, all the contestants have gathered at the battlefield.

Similar to the Carlos League Miare Conference, the Alola League Manalo Conference did not light the sacred flame, build a sacred flame platform, or arrange a torch runner or torch.

As the cannons fired in unison, the commentator picked up the microphone and began to speak.

"Hello everyone, fellow Alola residents and fellow contestants!"

My name is Shi Kuang, and from now on I will be providing live coverage of all the matches at the Alola League Manalo Conference.

The first event will be the opening ceremony of the Alola League Manalo Conference.

Let's give a round of applause to Dr. Kukui, one of the founders of the Alola League, who will come to the stage to deliver his opening address.

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the audience.

Dr. Kukui stood up from his seat in the audience, took the microphone, and walked onto the stage to deliver his opening address.

Alora!

Today, so many competitors have gathered here at the Manaro Arena.

For this, I sincerely thank everyone.

Come on everyone, let's get started! Everyone, have a big explosion!

"Now, I hereby officially declare the Alola League Manalo Conference officially open!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cannons fired again, fireworks exploded in the air, and the audience erupted in applause and cheers once more.

"Okay, thank you very much, Dr. Kukui, for your speech."

Next, the qualifying rounds for the Alola League Manalo Conference will begin.

There's only a little time left before the official start of the competition. The judges for the competition will be Mr. Hala, Ms. Liz, Mr. Merdan, and Ms. Hapuu.

I, Shi Kuang, will be providing live coverage of the Royal Match in the qualifiers.

Now, please turn your attention to the large screen in the room.

Upon hearing the host's words, everyone turned to look at the large screen, where a huge number was displayed: 151!

"As you've all seen, yes, it's the number 151."

In other words, a total of 151 contestants brought Pokémon to the competition.

"The Royal Battles will continue until that number drops to 16," Shi Kuang said.

Ash chuckled. How come there are exactly 151 participants? What, are they paying homage to the original 151 Pokémon?

"Now, all of you, please take your positions at the starting line of the competition."

The starting position is for everyone to stand in a circle around the four sides of the battlefield, forming a rectangle and leaving the middle empty.

"Please send out your Pokémon."

"Blazing Roaring Tiger, it's you, get ready to fight."

“Blazing flame!”

Ash had already planned it out: for his first battle at the Alola League Manalo Conference, he would naturally send out Incineroar, the number one Pokémon in the universe.

Kachi sent his old partner, Blazemon.

Lillie used her only Pokémon, Whitey.

Instead of choosing her strongest opponent, the West Lion Sea Angel, Shui Lian sent out Xiao Zhu.

Mamane also didn't send out his strongest swarm of swarms ...

Perhaps it's all to preserve their strength.

Guzma sent out Scizor.

Pikachu sends out a Pikachu with bangs.

DJ Leo sent out his best partner, the Alola Diglett.

The fairy-type captain, Jasmine, naturally used Ribbonfish.

Yuki, one of the students at the Pokémon School, rode a mud donkey.

Principal Oki's class is Komamori Bear.

Hau sent out an Alolan Reichu.

The Flame Queen Lizard on Boulder's Beauty

The mountain climber's platypus firebeast

The last two were even more outrageous; Mao used a Tier 1 level phantom beast, Shaymi, although not its strongest Sky Form.

Gladion is equipped with a level 2 Divine Silver Companion.

Okay, okay, so you're all trying to emulate the Sinnoh League's Suzuran Conference, huh?

At the Sinnoh League Lily of the Valley Conference, there was a Mythical Pokémon Darkrai and a Legendary Pokémon Heatran from the very beginning. Darkrai and another player, one playing a Mythical Pokémon and the other playing a Legendary Pokémon, were both cheating.

The same thing is happening now at the Alola League Manalo Conference.

There was a Mallow who participated in the competition using the mythical beast Shaymi.

There is also Gladion using a level 2 Divine Silver Companion.

The mythical beast man and the mythical beast woman are confirmed.

Are mythical beasts and magical beasts so common now that you can find them on just anyone?

In addition, other contestants also sent out many powerful Pokémon, such as Kommo-o, Salamence, and Metagross, including three pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
