Chapter 3 - 3

"A Brief Discussion on the Historical Status of Pokémon Trainers: The Next Eight Masters."

When they saw the title, many people hesitated but then reacted.

The audience seats of the entire Wyndon Stadium immediately started buzzing with conversation.

"Talking about the next eight masters? It seems interesting."

"Indeed, I didn't expect it! We just finished this year's Eight Masters competition, and now we can see the candidates for the next Eight Masters. It's amazing."

"Yes, but... I guess most of the members will still be from this year, with no major changes."

"It seems so."

The audience seats were abuzz with talk.

The list of the Eight Masters this year is:

- Galar Region Champion Trainer Leon.

- Kanto Region Champion Trainer Lance.

- Sinnoh Region Champion Trainer Cynthia.

- Hoenn Region Former Champion Trainer Steven Stone.

- Kalos Region Champion Trainer Diantha.

- Unova Region Champion Trainer Alder.

- Hoenn Region Current Champion Trainer Wallace.

- Galar Region Gym Trainer Raihan.

In the champion guest seat:

"Interesting, next year's list of Eight Masters?"

Raihan's mouth curved into a slight smile.

Obviously, he was looking forward to the video coming out and the list of the next Eight Masters being announced.

"The list of the next Eight Masters? Interesting, everyone here will definitely come to this arena again," observed Steven Stone, looking at the masters around him.

After a short silence, Wallace said:

"Unfortunately, I may not be able to participate. The next Eight Masters competition is likely to coincide with my Wallace Cup anniversary. As a contest master, I will most likely be absent."

Wallace was calm as water.

Perhaps for him…

The competition between champion trainers was not particularly important.

The grand celebration of the contest is what he should focus on as a Top Coordinator.

"I hope there will be successors! Otherwise, I have to compete again next year, which will delay my time finding Officer Jenny. Hahahaha."

The cheerful Uncle Alder laughed optimistically.

Among all the champion trainers now...

He is the oldest.

Uncle Alder has long wanted to stop participating in battles with young people.

But there are no particularly outstanding trainers in the Unova Region.

If there is no trainer in the Eight Masters competition, it will definitely be a disgrace to the Pokémon League headquarters in the Unova Region.

So...

Uncle Alder is forced to compete every time.

He really hopes that his title of champion trainer in the Unova Region can be passed to a younger person.

"I hope we can stand in this stadium again next year, and Leon, I will work hard to practice until I defeat you!" Lance said confidently.

And what greeted Lance was Leon's nod of approval.

...

Leon, Lance, Steven Stone, and Cynthia.

In fact, the strength of these four champion trainers is almost unrivaled. For several consecutive years, they have essentially been firmly in the top four points.

No change.

The last four have some changes, but it does not affect much.

At most, one or two will be replaced by the leaders of the Elite Four of certain regions.

Therefore...

Audiences around the world are looking forward to it.

But most of them know the answer!!!

But...

When the next list is announced, it will shock the world.

Several unexpected rookies, and the unheard-of Alola Region champion trainer will...

emerge!

Under the expectant eyes of thousands of viewers, the green screen began to flash and gradually announced the list of the next Eight Masters.

On the screen -

The first master appeared.

Light and shadow emerged, and the outline gradually became clear.

Long purple hair, wearing a black hat, and a red cloak full of heroic flair.

"Now is the championship moment; my Pokémon and I will defeat them all!"

[First: Champion of the Galar League, the undefeated mega celebrity in the Galar Region, and the current king of the Pokémon World Tournament - Leon!!!]

When the list of the first place was announced, the audience was thrilled.

"Wow, I said it, the first place is Mr. Leon."

"That's right, it's undeniable. As the king of the world, Mr. Leon has always maintained the highest level!"

"That's amazing!!!"

Although it was expected, the audience was still very excited.

In the champion seat—

"Sure enough, the first place in points is still Leon," Steven Stone said.

Leon smiled.

"The first place in the regular season points does not mean that you will be the final champion!"

Lance continued, unconvinced:

"Since you are the first, the second place must still be me."

The champions smiled slightly.

In the picture, the green screen began to show the various accomplishments of Leon.

Debuted as a rookie, but has never lost in an official Pokémon battle event.

No matter who he faces, he goes all out in battle.

As the champion of the Galar Region, he possesses great strength. His unparalleled strength and character make him popular and he is truly the "strongest" Pokémon Trainer in the Galar Region.

After all of Leon's accomplishments were announced, the audience was extremely excited.

He has not lost since his debut.

This invincible strength alone has won the favor of many people.

[Ding! The scoring system has been developed.]

[You can score the characters displayed according to the animations that appear.]

[The system will rank and reward the characters according to the scoring values.]

[If you are a trainer with full marks, you will receive a special reward.]

[Please rate the first Pokémon Master to appear.]

Audience—

"Rate?"

"Do you want to rate Mr. Leon?"

"Not just Mr. Leon, but all the characters that appear later?"

"It seems interesting."

"Then I will definitely rate Mr. Leon 10!!"

The voice coming from the screen made audiences around the world slightly stunned.

But then they understood something.

They all gave their scores.

One minute passed quickly.

[Ding! Scores announced.]

[Galar Region champion Trainer Leon scored 9.8 points!]
