At the end of the three day wait, Elio and Lillie decided to have one more stop at the Ferris Wheel before the tournament began. As the cart risen, Lillie wondered what the Elio was planning. Elio was in a corner feeling significant guilt and felt stupid at the fact he lied to Lillie.

She made a small glare as she scooted over to huddle him. "What are you thinking about?"

Elio took a deep breath. "The dumb thing I did over a week ago."

Lillie shook her head at what she heard. "What's done is done. Could you at least tell me what the project even is?"

Elio swallowed nervously as he tried to pick his words carefully. "Someone I found that may be important to you. He doesn't remember anything, I am having Isaac and Nebby help conduct a couple memory related experiments to see if I can't get his memories back."

Lillie thought over what Elio was doing and asked. "What type of experiments are you talking about?"

Elio pointed at himself as he answered. "Using two powerful psychic types to help reawakened blocked out memories from long ago. That was the first one, second one and most important, using two powerful psychic types to help deal with full blown amnesia. Don't worry, the first one was done, I self volunteered to be the test subject!"

Lillie's eyes widened at remembering some of the things about Fallers. "And your not telling me more because this person may have be a Faller?"

Elio stared out into the sunset. "I am not telling you until I get more results!"

Lillie shook her head at what she was hearing. "If your not going to give me the name... could you at least describe him?"

Elio raised a finger in answer. "Only thing I am telling you is that he runs the Pelago!"

Lillie wondered as she thought of it outloud. "I know that is where most of the pokemon trainers captured go to when they are in storage... least on Alola. It is connected to Alola's P.C and until we have more people doing things similar it is going to stay like that. While the P.C's are slowly merging into the whole, it is really just accounts that originate on Alola that uses the service."

Elio cringed at the knowledge. "All the reason that Molayne is busy. The pokemon everyone from Alola had captured are in that area... but it is still a hassle."

Lillie frowned at why Elio was being secretive of what he was doing. "Until you have something that works... you want Gladion and I to stay away from that place that was why you are quick to change the subject when I ask?"

Elio nodded as the Ferris Wheel began to descend. "I'm sorry it took this long and I am more sorry for trying to keep this from you!"

Elio called out Salamence for a flight back to Driftveil while Lillie began to ponder more. "He didn't found who I think he found... did he?!"

As they came back to watch the World Tournament. Lillie handed Burnet the Mew's ball as Elio handed over the Genesect's ball and gave her a warning. "Let him out if you want to... but do tell him he is not going to see a battle for a while."

Burnet understood as she found a good seat for the two to watch the matches together. "You know that you don't have to be so separated from each other during this. No one would really mind."

Lillie picked the seat as Elio sat next to her blushing. They watched the lights flare up one corner, the flamboyant normal type captain Ilima began to approach to find a brown haired woman in a black dress and red tie, the leader of the Rustboro Gym, Roxanne. "Would you kindly demonstrate how you battle and with which pokemon?"

The trial captain smiled as he introduced himself. "It is not the battle results that interest me, rather it is the carefully thought out strategies or novel tactics employed by trainers." Both looked at each other in determination as the battle began

Ilima vs Roxanne!

Roxanne sent out a Golem. Ilima sent out a Smeargle. "Set up a sticky web and stealth rock, should take care of any sturdy she may have!"

The Smeargle shot a web out of his tail as he was punched by a fiery fist; the Smeargle set up pointed stones and was punched again for a knock out. Ilima called the Smeargle back and sent out his next pokemon. "Toucannon, lets take that Golem out with bullet seed!"

Out came an angry toucan with a glowing beak that began to shoot multiple hard seed's at the Golem for a knock out.

Next pokemon Roxanne sent out was a Probopass. "Probopass use power gem until that Toucannon is knocked out!"

The Probopass shot a barrage of gem lasers as the Toucannon countered with a bullet seed; in another power gem the Toucannon was knocked out, Illima called him back and sent out his next pokemon. "Bewear, come out and use drain punch!"

The Bewear emerged to the battle and quickly knocked the Probopass out with a brutal punch. The next pokemon Roxanne sent out was an Armaldo that was slowed by the web and was hurt by the rocks. "Armaldo use rock polish and rock slide!"

Illima ordered with a calm charming look from his blue eyes. "Bewear use ice punch until that Armaldo is knocked out!"

The Armaldo polished himself as he took an ice punch and countered with a rock slide in an attempt to flinch; the Bewear braced himself and punched a chilled fist for a counter, knocking the Armaldo out. Next pokemon Roxanne sent out was a Carracosta that rammed into the Bewear with an aqua jet and was unable to do much damage to the fluffy Bewear; the strong arm pokemon used a drain punch to keep himself healthy and knocked the Carracosta out in two punches.

Roxanne knew she was defeated by kept going in an attempt to figure out Bewear. "Cradily, use giga drain... I know its ability has a lot to do with our disadvantage!"

The Cradily used giga drain and was knocked out by another drain punch. Roxanne sent out her last to the battle field; an Aggron that had its sash broken from the stealth rocks and smashed its head onto the Bewear. The Bewear's fluffy body absorbed the blow as he prepared an earthquake for a knock out.

Roxanne was intrigued and shook the captains hand. "It seems I still have much to learn, I would have to partake in this tournament again and study more on the Alolan pokemon."

Ilima shrugged as he asked. "Still there are many ways to over come a type disadvantage, talk to you after this round is over?"

Elio was in the audience looking at the fight in determination. "It is no wonder he was interested in fighting this woman. Rock types are resistant against normal types and there isn't many good options for dealing with them."

As the two trainers left the stadium, the next battle began. The blue haired fisher girl found her self confronting a blond military man, the leader of the Vermilion City gym, L.t Surge.

Lillie frowned sharply. "I hope Lana is able to pull through, because unlike what rock types have in resisting normal type attacks, electric types do more damage against water types rather than take less damage."

L.t Surge smirked and took off his sun glasses. "When it comes to electric-type pokemon I am number one! I'm going to zap your pokemon!" Lana glared with her cheeks slowly puffing up, not amused by her first opponent.

Lana vs L.t Surge

Surge sent out an Electrode. Lana sent out an Araquanid. "Electrode, shock that Araquanid with a electro ball!"

The Electrode twitched as it sent out an electrical orb, sending the Araquanid back as Lana shouted. "Use liquidation to sink this ball!"

The Electrode was swatted by a water bubbled limb as it let loose a signal beam for a knock out. Lana sent out a Lanturn that took the next beam and scalded the Electrode for a knock out.

Surge grinned at the water electric type and sent out an Electivire. "Using that pokemon to resist the electric offense? Electivire, use earthquake!"

The Lanturn was hit by the quake as it burned the Electivire in scalding water; the Electivire use cross chop for a k.o.

Lana glared as she called the Lanturn back and sent out a Cloyster. "Lets hook this with a shell smash, then icicle sphere to reel this in!" The Electivire rammed into the Cloyster with a wild charge; the Cloyster's sash held, smashed her shell and shot the Electivire down in record speed with icicle sphere.

Surge sent out a Lanturn. "Take it out with a thunder!" The Lanturn was pelted with a rock blast as its wide lens gave it the accuracy to knock the Cloyster out with a thunder bolt from the ceiling.

Lana glared at the Lanturn as she called the Cloyster back and took out a net ball. "Seismitoad, use earthquake!"

Surge frowned in determination at what he saw. "A water and ground type? Lanturn use blizzard to focus it down!" The Seismitoad felt the chill as he pounded his fist to the ground to knock the Lanturn out.

Surge sent out a Magnezone and shouted. "Use magnet rise to avoid that quake then focus it down with signal beam!"

Lana saw the move coming and shouted. "Use drain punch to heal up! Then hydro pump!"

The Magnezone was punched and as he shot at the Seismitoad, it was dazed and hit itself before being shot with a flash cannon. Lana shouted again as the Seismitoad to use hydro pump again, he croaked and shot the Magnezone down for a k.o.

Surge called the Magnezone back, sent out Jolteon and shouted. "Use quick attack, then iron tail!" The Seismitoad was pelted by the rushing Jolteon as he let loose an earthquake. The Jolteon ate a yellow berry with a green stem to withstand the damage and swatted at the Seismotoad with the stub of his tail.

Lana ordered. "Now finish that Jolteon with an earthquake."

The Jolteon was knocked out as Surge saw the Seismitoad about to faint and switched. "Raichu use fake out and we will be able to finish this!"

The Raichu entered the battle; his life orb glowed as he leaped in front of the Seismitoad and clapped for a knock out.

Lana called the Seismotoad back and sent out a Primarina looking down in defeat. Surge shouted. "Raichu use volt tackle and end this match!"

The Raichu rushed in an electrical tackle, unaware of the Primarina eating a light bulb like berry until it was too late. The Raichu felt the recoil as Surge realized what happened. "A Wacan berry?!"

Lana grinned and looked up at him in the eyes smug. "Hooked ya! Primarina use moonblast!" The Primarina channeled the power of the moon to knock the Raichu out, ending the battle.

Surge nodded in defeat. "That's a shocker."

Lana extended her hand toward the electric gym leader in silent sportsmanship, smiling smug that she outsmarted an electric type specialist.

As the two left the stadium, the next two trainers was the grass captain Mallow and one of the two leaders of the Mossdeep gym. A black haired man in a blue outfit, the psychic type trainer Tate. "I can make myself one with my pokemon, can you defeat this combination!"

Mallow smiled and replied. "I'll show you I can do more than cook!"

Mallow vs Tate!

Tate sent out a Xatu. Mallow sent out a Tsareena. "A flying type! Tsareena get out of there with u-turn!"

The Xatu began to set up a light screen as the Tsareena dashed and kicked back to her trainer.

Mallow prepared the pokeball and tossed another. "Lurantis get ready for some payback!" The Xatu let loose a psychic blast as the Lurantis swiped at the Xatu for a payback knock out.

Next pokemon sent was a Reuniclus with a life orb, Mallow knew of this pokemon and shouted. "Lurantis use solar blade!"

The Lurantis began to absorb sunlight as it ate a red herb before shooting a large solar blade from its fore arm and slashed into the Reuniclus as Tate began to pose like someone else was doing the same. "Reuniclus use psychic to knock that Lurantis out!"

The Reuniclus used a psychic to knock the Lurantis out in a blast. Mallow called the Lurantis back and shouted. "Leavanny use x scissor to knock that Reuniclus out!" The Leavanny slashed her fore arms in an x shaped pattern and knocked the Reuniclus out.

Next pokemon Tate sent out was a Solrock. "Use rock slide, we got to keep trying!"

Mallow prepared as she ordered the Leavanny. "Switch to leaf blade and keep on doing it till that Solrock goes down!" The Solrock was slashed by the Leavanny as it let loose a rock slide, in another slash of a leaf blade the Solrock was knocked out.

Next pokemon Take sent out was a Gallade. "Knock that Leavanny out with an ice punch!"

Mallow ordered with a cheer. "Use a sticky web and it will be all good!"

The Leavanny shot a sticky web across the field and was knocked out by an ice punch! "Tsareena get ready!"

The Gallade ice punched the Tsareena again as Mallow posed like a blooming flower for the Tsareena to use. "BLOOM DOOM!"

The Tsareena channeled the power of nature as she knocked the Gallade out in a powerful beam.

Next pokemon Tate sent out was a Bronzong that was slowed down by the web, the Tsareena u-turned out of battle as Mallow shouted. "Sceptile come on out!"

The Bronzong rolled into a Gyro ball and rammed itself into the Sceptile as its stone reacted to a bracelet. "Sceptile, mega evolve and use focus blast!"

The Sceptile mega evolved and shot a focus blast at the Bronzong; the Bronzong used another gyro ball to knock the Sceptile out, causing Mallow to puff up her cheeks and switch. "Trevenant come on out!"

A possessed tree emerged to battle with a iron ball as it began to shoot shadow ball after shadow ball as it took gyro ball after gyro ball. As the Bronzong was knocked out, Tate sent out a Claydol that hovered over the battle. The Claydol glowed as it let loose a psychic blast and knocked out the Trevenant.

Mallow called her Trevenant back and shouted. "Maractus, lets cook up a petal dance!"

The Maractus began to dance in petals and knocked the Claydol out in a vortex of petals, winning the round.

Tate smiled in defeat as he nodded. "It look like the bond between you and your pokemon are stronger than mine."

Mallow cheered in victory as she prepared to leave the arena. "Can't wait to serve up the rest of the tournament, see you later!"

The next two trainers was the fire captain Kiawe vs the leader of Shalour city, a blond roller skater by the name of Korrina. "Time for Lady Korrina's big appearance!"

Kiawe prepared himself as he shouted. "I will show you the dancing of me and my pokemon!"

Kiawe vs Korrina

Korrina sent out a Hawlucha.

Kiawe shouted. "Come, Marowak!" A Marowak with a bone shape pattern on its skin and a glowing spectral club emerged to battle.

Korrina shouted. "Hawlucha use sky attack!" The Hawlucha began to glow and consume a power herb to launch a strong feather like blast at the Marowak as Kiawe shouted. "Take that Hawlucha down with a shadow bone!"

The Marowak braced for the sky attack, his thick club began to glow and he smacked the Hawlucha for a knock out.

Korrina called the Hawlucha back and shouted. "Poliwrath use scald to take that Marowak down!"

As the Marowak was knocked out by scalding water, Kiawe called him back and tossed another ball. "Come, Talonflame!"

The Talonflame flew out of the ball in awaiting the next order. "Swords dance, then use brave bird!"

The Poliwrath scalded into the Talonflame; causing him to eat a sitrus berry in preparation to knock Poliwrath out with another brave bird. Next pokemon sent out was a Machamp that was knocked out even quicker, followed by a Heracross that was knocked out even faster, the Talonflame was knocked out from recoil, forcing Kiawe to switch out. "Come, Turtonator!"

A large fiery turtle with a glowing shell prepared for Korrina's next pokemon, a Lucario with a necklace and a particular stone. Korrina activated a keystone on her glove and shouted. "Lucario, Mega evolve and use aura sphere!"

The Lucario glowed as his black highlights began to glow and wave as he began to sense the aura of its opponent.

Korrina shouted. "Use aura sphere!" In quick speed the Lucario channeled a large amount of aura and tossed it at the Turtonator, sending him nearly falling back as Kiawe shouted. "End this dance with over heat!"

In a raging inferno the Lucario was sent flying as he reverted back knocked out. Korrina called the Lucario back and pretended that the lose was a big deal until she shook the trial captains hand in congratulations before the two left.

The next two trainers was the electric captain Sophocles and the leader of the Driftveil gym, Clay. Sophocles knew he was at a type disadvantage but continued to find an intimidating looking business man. "If yer going to bellyache about a type disadvantage, just forget 'bout fighting."

Sophocles looked back in determination as he sweated. "I had been planing this for months, I am not going to go down easily!"

Clay adjusted his hat in a grin. "That what I been wanting to hear!"

Sophocles vs Clay.

Clay sent out a Mamoswine. Sophocles sent out a quick ball and shouted. "Go Eelektross!"

The Mamoswine stomped and jabbed the Eelektross in rocks when it spit an acid spray, weakening its special defenses as it was hit again before inhaling for a giga drain for a knock out. Next pokemon was a Flygon that was hit with an acid spray as it used dragon dance, in an outrage the Eelektross was knocked out.

Sophocles sent out a Magnezone and shouted. "Focus a flash cannon until that Flygon is taken out!"

In a couple blasts the Flygon was knocked out, in its place an Excadrill was sent out. Clay ordered in confidence. "Alright, take it out with a drill run!" The Excadrill placed its metal claws together and began to drill into the Magnezone for a knock out.

Sophocles called the Magnezone back and tossed another pokeball. "Electivire...just use fire punch!"

The Electivire punched into the Excadrill, burning it as it drilled into the Electivire. In another punch the Excadrill was knocked out. Clay sent out a Seismitoad that took a giga impact and countered with an earth power for a k.o.

Sophocles sent out a Vikavolt with an assault vest. "Bug buzz until that Seismitoad is out!" The Vikavolt buzzed into the Seismitoad as it countered with a hydro pump; both traded blows until the Vikavolt knocked out the Seismitoad.

Clay's frown didn't fade as he tossed the next pokemon. "Krokodile, get rid of that Vikavolt with a rock slide!" The Krokodile knocked the Vikavolt out with a rock slide.

Sophocles knew he was about to be defeated as he switched to his next pokemon. "Togedemaru, use fell stinger!" The Krokodile used another rock slide as he took super damage from the bug type move.

Clay switched the Krokodile over to a Golurk as the Togedemaru tried to use a spiky shield, only to be knocked out by an earthquake. Sophocles sent out an Alolan Golem in prepareation for the next order.

Clay sighed not taking his gaze away. "Use earthquake, this kids been through enough t'day!" Sophocles felt the sting of defeat as he saw the Alolan Golem get knocked out. Sophocles tried to tough it out as he shook the ground type gym leaders hand.

Clay grinned back in response. "What's important was how ya react to losin'. That's why folks who use losin' as fuel to get better are tough!"

As the two left the Arena Elio marked something on his to do list. "Tell Soph that bad match ups happen." Lillie patted Elio on the back in pity.

The next two trainers was Plumeria and the leader of the Pastoria Gym, Wake, a man dressed as a pro wrestler with several fans cheering at him from the background. As he yelled about how he plans to pull the opponent under the wave, Plumeria simply let loose a poisonous smile. "Hope my dumb little bro's and sis' are watching!"

Plumeria vs Crasher Wake

Wake sent out an Empoleon. Plumeria sent out a Gengar with a stone on its forehead. "Gengar, mega evolve and use shadow ball till it goes down!"

The Gengar mega evolved and shot a shadow ball at the Empoleon; the Empoleon use surf and was knocked out by another shadow ball Wake sent out a Gyarados. "Dance and bring that Gengar down deep with earthquake!" The Gyardos use dragon dance as he took a sludge bomb; the Gyarados slammed his tail fin into the ground and caused an earthquake to quickly send the Gengar flying and back to its regular form.

Plumeria switched and shouted. "Crobat, use brave bird to finish of that Gyarados!" The Gyarados was knocked out by a brave bat as the Crobat began to take recoil damage.

Wake sent out a Floatzel and shouted loudly. "AQUAAAA JET!" The Floatzel shouted in excitement as he rammed into the Crobat. Aqua jet and brave bird collided until both were knocked out, Floatzel for the damage and Crobat from the recoil.

Plumeria called the Crobat back sent out a Scolipede as Wake sent out a large pink sea slug called Gastrodon. "Hit it with a mega horn and don't stop!"

As the Scolipede rammed into the Gastrodon as Wake shouted. "Pull it under with counter!" The Gastrodon took the damage and tossed the Scolipede back for a knock out.

Plumeria called the Scolipede back and shouted. "Muk... mess em up with crunch!"

The Alolan Muk crunched into the Gastrodon with its fangs for a knock out, tossing it back for the next opponent. Wake sent out a Poliwrath that pounded his fist's together and rammed into the Muk with a waterfall punch; the Muk used poison jab and poisoned the Poliwrath. In another waterfall the Muk flinched and was exposed to another for a knock out.

Plumeria growled in annoyance as she called her Muk back. "Salazzle use sludge bomb and get ready!" The Salazzle pelted the Poliwrath with unsanitary sludge for a knock out, leaving Wake with his last pokemon, a Ludicolo.

Knowing that the battle is over Plumeria posed for Salazzle to use the Z move. "ACID DOWNPOUR!" The Salazzle shot a pool of acid at the Ludicolo for an super effective knock out.

Wake felt bummed out at the battle being over. "How will I say this... I want more, I wanted to battle a lot more!"

Plumeria broke a sweat as she called the Salazzle back and nodded to the gym leader in sportsmanship. "This was a show they would like anyways!"

Next two trainers was Guzma vs the gym leader of Opelucid city Drayden. The dragon gym leader was.. impressed by Guzma's determination to beat the tournament down. Both glared at each other as the battle began.

Guzma vs Drayden.

Guzma took a pokeball and shouted. "Golisopod mess em up!"

Drayden send out his Salamence. "Show us the future!"

The Golisopod opened up with a life orb boosted sucker punch as the Salamence called down a dragon meteor, forcing an emergency exit.

Guzma sent out a Heracross that looked around and glared at the Salamence, ready for the key stone to activate. "Punctchy... Mega evolve and use rock blast!"

The Heracross mega evolved as it was greeted to a fire blast; he aimed his bulb like arms, they opened like insect wings to may holes and shot the Salamence down in a barrage of rocks for a k.o.

Next pokemon Drayden sent out was a Flygon, the trainer roared. "Use fire blast to finish that Heracross off!"

Guzma glared at the Flygon as he called back the Heracross. "Masquerain, start a quiver dance... then mess em up with an ice beam!"

Drayden kept ordering. "Again, do not relent!"

The Masquerain took a massive fire blast as he began to perform a dance, he knocked the Flygon out with a frigid ice beam. Next pokemon Drayden sent was a Haxorus that took an ice beam and held on with a focus sash; the Harxorus on order lunged at the Masquerain for a k.o.

Guzma called the Masquerain back and tossed another ball shouting. "Ariados, sucker punch that Haxorus out of here!"

The Haxorus was punched for a knock out. Drayden called it back and sent out his next pokemon. "Burn with a fire blast!"

The Hydreigon inhaled with all three heads and quickly knocked the Ariados out with a fire blast. Guzma switched to his Golisopod that made a good first impression on the Hydreigon and knocked it out with a brutal punch.

Drayden sent out a Druddigon as Guzma ordered. "Rock slide that one!"

The Druddigon braced for the damage as he and Drayden swung in unison. "Dragon tail!"

The Golisopod was sent out of the battle as Guzma let him in his ball in a grin to send his next pokemon out. "Scizor... get ready!"

The Druddigon prepared a fire fang as Guzma began to pose for the Scizor to use. "SAVAGE SPIN OUT!" The Druddigon was wrapped in silk before being thrashed across the arena. The cocoon was sliced in two by the Scizor, knocking out the Druddigon. The last pokemon Drayden sent out was an Altaria that prepared its physical defenses with a cotton guard as the Scizor began to dance, with in a couple dances the Scizor began to slash at the Altaria with a night slash before finishing it off with a bullet punch.

Drayden grunted at the sting of defeat and gave the hand shake of sportsmanship to Guzma. Guzma was a little shy about another grown up showing him respect as the two parted ways.

Next two trainers were Mina and the leader of the Azalea town gym, a purple haired bug catcher named Bugsy. Mina awkwardly stared at the sight of a grown adult with bug capturing equipment and began battle.

Mina vs Bugsy.

Bugsy sent out a Yanmega, Mina sent out a Klefki. The Klefki was a prankster and began to set up a light screen before air was slashed. As the Yanmega tried to use air slash, the Klefki use flash cannon, before trading a giga drain for a dazzling gleam. In another trade of air slash and and flash cannon the Yanmega was knocked out.

Bugsy sent out an Armaldo that was greeted with a flash cannon. "Eek! Armaldo get rid of that Klefki with Earthquake!"

The Klefki was knocked out, Mina called it back and sent out an Azumarril. "Take it out with waterfall!"

The Armaldo was rammed for a k.o as Bugsy prepared to switch. "Scizor use swords dance and don't stop on the bullet punch!" Scizor began to used a swords dance and was rammed by another waterfall before using bullet punch. The Azumarril knocked the Scizor out with one more water fall as the two traded blows. Bugsy is sweating as he called the Scizor back and sent out a Pinsir that quickly knocked the Azumarril out with a bull doze.

Mina sighed and sent out a Ribombee. "Use pollen puff, then get ready for turn this match around!" The Pinsir braced for the pollen puff and attempted to use guillotine.

He missed, Mina posed like that of a fairy and was giving an intense glare directly at Bugsy as her Ribombee glowed in a strange light. "TWINKLING TACKLE THAT PINSER OUT OF THE WAY!" The Ribombee enveloped the stage with a pink mist, floated to the Pinsir and tapped him out for a k.o.

Next pokemon Bugsy sent out was a Heracross that was hit with a dazzling gleam, missed with stone edge and was knocked out with another dazzling gleam. Bugsy sent out his last pokemon, a Shuckle that was greeted to a pollen puff before splitting its low power with the Ribombee. With its increased power the Shuckle hit the Ribombee with stone edge as it took the a dazzling gleam. In a critical blow the Ribombee was knocked out. Mina sent out a Granbull that finished off the Shuckle by playing rough with its shell.

Both trainers stared awkwardly at each other before leaving.

As Elio sized up team Alola's victories, Lillie watched most of the other regions fight each other.

For team Kanto:

The gym leader of Pewter city, Brock, had defeated the gym leader of Fortree city, Winona.

The Gym leader of Cerulean city, Copycat had defeated the gym leader of Anistar city, Olympia

Lillie had witness L.t Surges defeat at the hands of Lana as well as saw the gym leader of Celadon city Erika, defeated by the gym leader of Snowpoint city, Candice.

The Gym leader of Saffaron city, Sabrina defeated the gym leader of Virbank city Roxie.

The gym leader of Vermilion city gym, Cal, defeated the gym leader of Castelia city Burgh.

The gym leader of what was Cinnabar island, Blaine, defeated the gym leader of Courmarine city, Ramos.

The former gym leader of Vermilion city, Giovanni defeated one of the ex gym leaders of Straiton, Chilli easily.

As the round progressed, most of the Unova team, the Johto team and the Kalos team had been knocked out.

Lillie left the audience to check on Elio and see how he was managing team Alola.

She found him comforting Sophocles about the lose by saying. "Bad type match ups happen, least you went down fighting! For now, watch and see what happens."

As she was listening to half of the sentence, Lillie was greeted by another unpleasant noise, a pink haired woman crying loudly and a man in a yellow baseball cap trying to calm her down.

The man introduced himself as Ethan and began to apologize for the woman. "Sorry about this, Whitney cries when she looses... it should stop right about."

Whitney began to calm down as she apologized for what happened. "Sniff! Why did I have to fight Chuck so early!"

Lillie had a chance to talk to Elio about what she felt about the tournament. "This is a rather brutal tournament. Most of Unova is eliminated and Johto isn't far behind."

Lillie saw the tournament rounds and saw to one conclusion about the tournament. "Sooner or later the teams are going to end up battling each other."

Elio grinned, telling Lillie he is alright with it happening until both saw the match ups for the next round and flinched.

Elio's grin faded quickly as Lillie began to take back what she said. "If they are able to handle this one at least!"
