The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

In addition, many of the people Ash had previously encountered in the Alola region were also watching the live broadcast on television.

Grandma Moyani at the Hau-O-L City Market, Miss Noah from the Pancake Shop and her fiancé, George, the producer of Alola TV, Lana's mentor, the ocean dweller Ia and her husband Kanoa, the rangers and mountaineers on Mount Vera, Sarah, the sled jumping champion, Longkui, the Kanto Gym Leader, and his four ninja subordinates, etc.

And at that very moment, in the VIP area where the commentator and host Shi Kuang and Dr. Kukui were located, five people were slowly walking towards their five empty seats.

Dr. Kukui and Shi Kuang also stood up to greet their arrival.

"Oh dear, I'm used to sitting in the referee's box, so it feels a little strange to suddenly be in this VIP section," Hala laughed.

“Mr. Hala, now you’re not just a referee, you’re one of the Four Heavenly Kings,” Kashili said.

"You're right, I'm very excited, but whether you're a referee or an Elite Four member, you have to be a role model for trainers."

"This is also true for Ash and Gladion, who are going to have their final match today," Liz said.

“I believe Ash will definitely win. He’s so strong, beating Gladion won’t be a problem. Professor Kui, you think so too, right?” Acerola said.

"Of course, I'm really looking forward to Ash and Gladion's battle," Professor Kukui said with a smile.

Seeing the five of them chatting enthusiastically with Dr. Kukui, Shi Kuang picked up the microphone and addressed the audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the final of the Alola League Manalo Conference is about to begin."

Before we begin, let me introduce the five distinguished guests who have joined me.

These are the original four members of our newly formed Alola League and the Champion Witnesses, who are:

Marin, the Steel-type Elite Four member who specializes in Steel-type Pokémon, is the current director of the Hilky Way Observatory and former captain of the Islands Patrol. He is also a close friend of Professor Kukui, one of the founders of the Alola League.

A Rock-type Elite Four member proficient in Rock-type Pokémon, possessing exceptional strength at a young age, and also the island queen of Akala Island, Liz.

A Ghost-type Elite Four member who specializes in Ghost-type Pokémon, and also a descendant of the Alola royal family, serving as the Ghost-type captain at the former site of the Ula'ula Island Value Store, Acerola.

Kashiri, the Flying-type Elite Four member who uses Flying-type Pokémon, is the daughter of the owner of the Haono Haono Resort and a prodigy golfer who won the Island Tour championship.

Finally, there's also one of the referees who has been watching the game with us since the very beginning.

A champion witness specializing in Fighting-type Pokémon, this powerful and experienced trainer's strength is top-tier even in the Alola region. He also serves as the island king of Melemele Island, Hala.

Let us welcome our five distinguished guests with warm applause.

As soon as he finished speaking, applause, cheers, screams, and shouts erupted like a tidal wave, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the entire venue.

Those who couldn't attend the game expressed deep regret, lamenting why they couldn't get tickets; it was such a shame.

After all, for ordinary people, even though they are newly formed Four Heavenly Kings, they are usually captains, champions of the island pilgrimage, kings of islands, and queens of islands. They are not people you can meet whenever you want.

"Thank you to the audience for your enthusiastic cheers."

The final of the Alola League Manalo Conference is about to begin.

According to our rules, whoever wins the tournament and then defeats the Royal Masked Man can become the first regional champion of Alola.

Now, let's invite our five guests to say a few words to the two fighters who will soon be battling for the first Alola Regional Championship.

After Shi Kuang finished speaking, he handed the microphone in his hand to Ma Ruiyin first.

"Hello everyone, I am the director of the Huilani Observatory, the former captain of Ula Ula Island, and also the Steel-type Elite Four member, Marin."

Entrusted by Kukui and Ash, I have decided to become one of the original Elite Four of the Alola League.

Ash, Gladion, I hope you have a lot of fun battling in this Pokémon League tournament, and that you get to battle against interesting trainers.

I'm waiting for a breath of fresh air to blow through the Alola region.

"Hello everyone, I am Liz, the island queen of Akala Island, and also the Rock-type Elite Four member, Liz."

Ash, Gladion, you've grown so much since I first met you. Did you have some unforgettable experiences during your island adventure?

"Enough with the chit-chat, let's get straight to the battle! Show us the best of you and your Pokémon, defeat your opponents, and move on!"

"Hello everyone, I am an ancient princess, the Ghost-type captain of Ula Ula Island, and also the Ghost-type Elite Four member, Acerola."

Uncle Merdan actually said to me:

He might be more willing to accept the position if Tapu, the guardian deity, chose him. But if anyone else chose him to be one of the Elite Four, he wouldn't go.

So, Ash and Gladion, you two need to do your best for the old man too!

"Completely thwart their plan to defeat you and become the first champion."

"Hello everyone, I am the Flying-type Elite Four member, Kashiri."

Ash, Gladion, several years ago, I was very similar to you two, and I also became the champion of the Islands Challenge.

Then, in order to further improve my skills in Pokémon Trainer and golf, I have been traveling the world.

I returned only after receiving your invitation, Ash, and Professor Kukui, for the sake of the Alola region.

You two have brought a breath of fresh air to the Alola region. Reaching the finals proves your skills are genuine. Who will ultimately lead the charge? I'm eagerly awaiting the answer.

"Hello everyone, I am Hala, the island king of Melemele Island, and also the champion's witness."

Only by mixing the new and the old in a good proportion can something new be born. This is something I learned from fighting alongside you young people.

Ash, Gladion, you two need to be as serious as devils, but please don't scream and yell in nervousness.

Let us feel the growth you've gained through exploring the various islands of the Alola region.

The five speakers' speeches elicited another round of cheers and applause from the audience, except for the people from Pornhub who weren't particularly enthusiastic.
