The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

At this moment, the "flower crown" is gradually being filled by a continuous stream of people, becoming the most popular focus in the entire area.

It's just dawn,

Not to mention the long queues at each cable car station

Long queues have formed on the winding mountain road leading to the summit.

Various private cars and sightseeing buses slowly moved along the winding mountain road, their headlights forming a flowing galaxy in the morning mist.

Many eager spectators set off from various islands the night before, hiking up the mountain in order to secure the best viewing spots.

They had sleepy looks on their faces, but their eyes were full of anticipation as they enthusiastically discussed the past records of the two finalists.

Discussions and excited laughter filled the queue, and even the mountain breeze seemed to be warmed by this enthusiasm.

Inside the arena, the scene was even more bustling and vibrant.

The circular stands were already mostly occupied, with various support merchandise waving high in the stands, creating a flowing sea of ​​color.

And from time to time, a unified shout could be heard:

"Ash! Pikachu!"

The sound waves rose higher and higher, crashing against the rock walls of the arena and echoing among the sea of ​​clouds.

In the stands, vendors pushed food carts selling Alola specialties. The sweet aroma of rainbow beans, the smoky scent of roasted berries, and the slightly salty smell brought by the waves intertwined to create a unique atmosphere of the arena.

Young people sat in small groups, taking out their phones to capture the exciting moments of the competition and eagerly sharing them on social media.

The arena in the center of the field had been meticulously prepared, with the lush green grass gleaming brightly and the energy barriers at the edge of the field emitting a faint blue light. Staff members were making final adjustments to the equipment.

The players' rest areas on both sides of the field are neatly arranged with tables and chairs, fresh fruit and drinking water on the tables, and spare Poké Balls and first aid kits neatly arranged on the shelves next to them.

Several staff members in referee uniforms were gathered together, finalizing the rules of the competition.

The giant electronic screen above the field was already lit up, playing a loop of exciting moments from Ash and Gladion's journey to the next round:

Every scene drew gasps of amazement from the audience.

Below the electronic screen, technicians sat at the control panel, intently watching the various data on the screen, their fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboard to ensure stable transmission of the live broadcast signal.

"East District cameras have been tested and configured!"

"The audio system is working properly!"

"The network is working properly and can support up to tens of billions of people watching online simultaneously!"

Reports came through the walkie-talkie, tense yet orderly.

Not only at the scene, but also online, the discussion has already exploded.

The number of viewers in the Alola League's official live stream continued to soar, surpassing six billion in less than two hours. The barrage of comments flooded the screen, making it impossible to read the complete words.

"Finally, the Alola League finals are here! Go Ash!"

"Gladio is so cool! I support Silvally!"

"I came all the way from the Kanto region, and the atmosphere here was absolutely amazing!"

……

Viewers from all over the world engaged in heated discussions in the comments section.

Some people are analyzing the Pokémon setups of both sides.

Some people are reminiscing about the two athletes' outstanding performances in the competition.

Some people even started a poll to predict how long it would take for Xiaozhi to win the championship, and for a time, topics such as "Xiaozhi will definitely win" dominated the trending lists of major social media platforms.

Overseas broadcasting platforms also launched live streams simultaneously, with subtitles in multiple languages, allowing Pokémon fans around the world to witness this grand event in real time.

In the live stream, gift effects kept flooding the screen, with various virtual Poké Balls, Pokémon Beans, and other effects filling the screen.

Netizens expressed their expectations and enthusiasm in this way.

Backstage, the staff were working around the clock.

"Check the microphones on the referee's bench again!"

"Turn up the lights in the athletes' tunnel!"

……

Various instructions kept coming through the walkie-talkie, and everyone performed their duties in a tense but orderly manner to complete the final preparations.

As the sun gradually rises and the morning mist dissipates, the scenery atop Mount Ranakira becomes increasingly clear.

The distant sea shimmered, meeting the blue sky and white clouds, while the nearby mountains and forests were lush and vibrant, and the lively atmosphere inside the Manaro Arena reached its peak.

More and more spectators flooded into the stadium, turning the once empty stands into a packed house, with people even standing in the aisles and on the steps.

Cheers, shouts, and discussions mingled together, creating a powerful sound wave that seemed to pierce the sky.

Many people were also watching on television, waiting for the match to begin.
