Joey, Kaiba, and Yugi were all invited to participate in the Pokemon League that would be held in the Johto region. Since they are newcomers to this tournament they will have to qualify by obtaining 8 Johto badges. Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey's monsters were all given Pokemon type according to their color, appearance or abilities as a duel monster.

Joey got off to a rough start since Falkner knew Joey was a rookie. Falkner's Pidgeot was able to take down Baby Dragon, and Night. Red Eyes Black Dragon however gave Pidgeot a hard time since its sheer power made it hard to beat. In the end Red Eyes's Shadow Ball took care of Pidgeot. Joey managed to bear Bugsy, Whitney, Morty, Chuck, Jasmine, Pryce, but Clair was a different story. Clair was an expert in Dragon types. Joey's Red Eyes and Baby Dragon was no match for Dragonair who took care of his Dragons with a single Dragonbreath. However Alligator Sword gave Clair a match since his Ice Beams took care of 2 of her Dragonairs. In the end Joey managed to beat Clair with Joey's Insect Queen using a combination of Toxic, Confuse Ray, and Psybeam attacks.

Kaiba had no problem obtaining all 8 Johto badges since his Blue Eyes White Dragons easily outmatched the Gym Leaders Pokemon. Yugi managed to sweep through the Gym Leaders up until Clair. Clair knew Psychic type Pokemon weren't good defensively so she sent out Dragonite. Dragonite used physical moves to take down Yugi's psychic Pokemon. Curse of Dragon managed to overcome adversity using a combination of Smokescreen, Calm Mind, and Flamethrower. Now that all 3 of them have obtained 8 Johto badges they get ready to take on the Pokemon League. This Pokemon league will be different than past tournaments. In this tournament Yugi, Joey, and Kaiba will have to get past group stage.

Ash has been invited to the Johto Elite League, but he doesn't have to earn badges since he already participated in the Johto League a couple years ago. I have already obtained the 8 badges during Ash's journey in the Johto region.

Tournament Format: The Johto Elite Pokemon League will feature 32 trainers trying to become the Johto Elite champion. Trainers will be placed into 8 groups of 4 trainers where a win equals 4 points, a tie 1 point, and a loss -1 point. After group stage is the round of 16 where trainers will battle others trainers at random. Quarter finalist will face the winner of their designated trainers' bracket and so on into the semifinals. Group stage will be 2 on 2 battles. After that the tournament will resume to 6 on 6 battles.
