A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

In an instant, the whole stadium was boiling, and the shouts of "Champion Li! Champion Li!" surged like a tidal wave. The sound waves rushed through every inch of the stadium. The enthusiasm of the audience was completely ignited, and their faces were filled with excitement and excitement.

However, before the cheers had completely dissipated, a burst of whispers quietly spread.

In the crowd, a young man wearing a red baseball cap, his brows knitted into knots, nudged his companion with a puzzled expression, and asked anxiously, "Who's the champion in this one-win-one-loss game? I'm completely stunned."

His companion also looked bewildered. He scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "Who knows? Are we going to have to play an extra game? The situation in this game is changing so fast."

Not far away, a gray-haired old man slowly shook his head, his expression solemn, and muttered softly, "This situation is really tricky. Who will win the championship is now a big suspense. It really makes me feel uneasy."

The atmosphere in the arena suddenly became tense and subtle, and everyone was waiting for the final answer.

At this moment, Lao Kuai stood on the commentary desk, recounting the highlights of the game with great enthusiasm, and waving his arms from time to time, trying to arouse the emotions of the audience.

As he was speaking, he suddenly realized that it was time to announce the points results, so he quickly winked at the staff at the points counter, his eyes full of urging.

The staff understood and quickly took action. Soon, the microphone was connected to the scoring table, and a female staff member's clear and melodious voice was carried throughout the venue through the loudspeaker.

"In the first day's doubles competition, Zhang Leiyuan, with his excellent tactics and coordinated Pokémon, successfully defeated champion Li Xingeng's Azure Blade and Crimson Knight, winning the doubles championship. According to the scoring rules, two points are awarded for a defeat and two points are awarded for a victory. In today's 3v3 singles competition, Zhang Leiyuan defeated Blazing Kentaro and Infernape in succession, adding two more points for a defeat, for a total of one win and six points."

"Champion Li Xingeng defeated Dragonite in the doubles match, earning one point. In the singles match, he defeated Zhang's Alola Raichu, Rotom, and Charizard in quick succession, securing the singles championship. He gained three points for defeats and two for victories, also accumulating six points for one win. There's currently a tie."

This result was like a bombshell, instantly sending shockwaves through the entire crowd. The confident smile on Old Kuai's face froze instantly, his eyes widening like bells, his mouth slightly open, his face filled with disbelief, as if frozen by this unexpected draw.

He subconsciously clenched the microphone, his knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force. After a long moment, he stammered, "This... this is truly beyond everyone's expectations! Who could have imagined that such a fierce competition would end in a draw!"

A trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He kept looking left and right, scanning the entire audience anxiously. Finally, his gaze stopped at the top of the audience, in the VIP room, trying to hope that the VIP in this VIP room could come forward to solve the problem.

"What should we do? There can't be no champion! This competition can't just end in nothing!" A girl in a pink T-shirt had an anxious look on her face, her voice trembling a little.

"Could it be that there are two Central China champions? This is too outrageous. I've never heard of such a thing!" A burly man widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and his voice drowned out the surrounding noise.

"The result of this competition is so unexpected. How will the champion be decided next? It's really worrying!" A middle-aged woman frowned, her face full of worry, and kept shaking her head and sighing.

Inside the stadium, various voices intertwined, and the faces of the audience were filled with confusion, surprise, and expectation, all waiting for the final solution to this tie.

In the separate VIP room, a luxurious crystal chandelier cast a soft, bright light, adorning the room with a splendid atmosphere. A mysterious spectator sat leisurely on a leather sofa, overlooking the bustling arena below through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

He was dressed in a well-tailored black suit, the watch on his wrist was low-key yet luxurious, and he always had an unfathomable smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.

Looking at the stalemate on the field, he narrowed his eyes slightly, opened his thin lips, and said slowly: "Interesting, no wonder the rules were changed on the spot, and the original 6V6 full battle was divided into two single and double games, so..." His voice was low and magnetic, echoing in the quiet VIP room, but no one knew the unspoken meaning in his words.

Meanwhile, on the commentary desk, Old Kuai was frantically trying to cope with the sudden draw. Just as he was sweating profusely, unsure what to do, a sudden buzzing sound came from his wireless headset, followed by the serious and steady voice of a league executive.

Old Kuai was stunned at first, then he quickly covered his mouth with his hands, turned his body to one side, and nodded continuously like a chicken pecking at rice. A look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face, and he kept responding softly: "Yes, yes, I understand, I understand." He looked as if he was accepting an extremely important mission.

After finishing his conversation with league executives, Kuai took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. He straightened his collar, picked up the microphone, cleared his throat, and spoke to the audience in a voice that was slightly trembling but remained steady.

"Dear viewers, please be patient! After urgent deliberation, we've decided to consult both contestants regarding the possibility of an extra match. While we fully respect their wishes, we also believe that both champion Li Xingeng and contestant Zhang Leiyuan possess a firm belief in victory and immense strength. Let us all look forward to their responses!"

Lao Kuai's voice echoed through the loudspeaker to every corner of the arena. The originally noisy arena suddenly quieted down, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the decision of the two players. Li Guanjun stood on the arena, and after hearing Lao Kuai's words, his face instantly became gloomy.

As the current Central China champion, he has absolute say in the region and is usually admired and respected by everyone.

But now, someone actually bypassed him without his knowledge and directly issued an order to add a game, even under the pretext of soliciting the opinions of the players.

He knew in his heart that with tens of thousands of spectators watching, he had no room to refuse. This was undoubtedly a carefully planned conspiracy, pushing him and Zhang Leiyuan to the brink of battle again.

Li Guanjun was filled with displeasure. It wasn't that he was afraid of fighting. With his and his Pokémon's strength, he was confident he could handle any challenge. It was just that the feeling of being manipulated and led by the nose made him extremely unhappy.

But he also knew that he couldn't back down at this moment, otherwise he would lose face. So, he responded loudly, "Yes."

Those two short and powerful words, as if carrying endless anger and displeasure, echoed in the air above the stadium for a long time.

Meanwhile, Zhang Leiyuan remained calm upon hearing the proposal for a tiebreak. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind racing through every detail of the match. He knew that a draw was the worst outcome he could accept. But if a tiebreak were truly necessary, he would absolutely not lose.

But don't forget, he didn't even use the Z move in the singles match. The water Z that Zhang Heng gave him is still quietly lying in his bag, not even a trace of it has been seen. As for whether he deliberately let it go before, I'm afraid only he knows best.

But at this moment, his eyes revealed a firm determination. No matter what awaited him in this extra game, he was not afraid. He raised his head, looked at Li Guanjun with a firm gaze, and said slowly, "I will accompany you to the end."

Although his voice was not loud, it was full of unquestionable momentum, as if announcing to everyone that he was fully prepared to face the upcoming ultimate showdown.
