The instant their eyes t, Hiko sensed that feeling again.
Those eyes.
She was certain she had seen them sowhere before.
And yet, though they felt familiar, no matter how hard she thought about it, she could not rember exactly where she had seen them.
"Both contestants are in position! The match will begin imdiately!"
The referee's voice pulled Hiko's thoughts back.
On the battle arena, the massive screen rose high overhead.
Hiko and Okano Shuzo's portraits appeared above it, one on the left and one on the right.
Beside each portrait were three shining Poké Ball icons.
Today's match would be fought in a three-on-three format.
"Go! Articuno!"
Shuzo did not waste any ti.
He directly threw out Articuno's Poké Ball.
"Ree!"
The ice-blue great bird spread its wings and soared.
That beautiful, noble posture once again made the audience below erupt into cheers.
"Long live Articuno!"
"Go, go! Sweep all three again! Win the match!"
"Co on! Co on!"
The waves of cheers and shouts pushed the atmosphere in the venue to its peak.
Imdiately afterward, everyone's attention quickly fell on Hiko.
The audience all began discussing which Pokémon she would send out first today.
"Going by her usual pattern, it should be ga Lopunny!"
"Not necessarily. Maybe it'll be Gardevoir!"
"No matter what she sends out, she can't win!"
"We still don't even know what her third Pokémon is!"
"Could it also be capable of ga Evolution?"
"If that's really the case, today's match won't be boring!"
Amid the audience's discussion, Hiko slowly took the Poké Ball from her waist.
She raised it high.
A confident smile appeared on her pretty face.
The next second, she said sothing that left every spectator in the venue dumbfounded.
"I've decided you'll lead the charge! Go, w!"
The Poké Ball traced an arc through the air.
Red light condensed into the form of a small Pokémon.
The adorable Pokémon, dragging a long pink tail behind it, crossed its arms and floated in midair.
Its distinctive appearance instantly made the entire audience fall silent.
When Hiko had first said those words, everyone had thought it was impossible.
How could Hiko possibly own a Second-tier Legendary Pokémon?
Nine tis out of ten, it had to be a bluff.
But when they saw the pink Pokémon on the battle arena, everyone felt as if their entire worldview was collapsing.
"My god..."
"This... I'm not dreaming, right? Is that really w?"
"Damn! Amazing! She actually caught a Second-tier Legendary!"
"Hiko really knows how to hide her trump cards!"
"Today's match is definitely going to be incredible!"
"To see Legendary Pokémon clash with my own eyes... my life has been worth it!"
w's appearance was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
For a Third-tier Legendary to appear in a League match like this was already enough to overturn common sense.
But now, a Second-tier Legendary like w had actually appeared!
It was so shocking that people could hardly speak.
The entire venue fell silent for a mont.
The next second, exaggerated cheers and shouts rang out, shaking the sky.
Seeing w take the field, the organizers were also very tactful.
They imdiately activated the battle arena's protective shield, enclosing the entire arena within it.
Although the battle arena was extrely large, the energy fluctuations and impact produced by a clash between Legendary Pokémon were far too intense.
Even if the audience stands were far away, there was still a risk of being caught in the aftermath.
"...w, huh? Very good!"
Shuzo looked up at w.
An obscure glint flashed through his eyes.
"Then let test your strength!"
"Articuno! Don't hold back! Attack at full power!"
"Ree!"
The blue great bird let out a cry.
Dense Ice-type energy surged around its body.
The next second, a thick pillar of icy light shot straight toward w.
w's expression remained calm.
It stretched out one hand and lightly curled its finger.
A dense Psychic-type energy barrier imdiately stretched out in front of it.
Boom!
The ice pillar slamd into the barrier, releasing a deafening sound.
The two clashing energies tore against each other.
In that space, they ford a chaotic, rampaging energy storm.
