Chapter 52: Fun Rematch From Littleroot Town! Semifinal Vs. Brendan!

During breakfast the following morning, Michael was currently sitting alone for breakfast as he was finishing off his battle strategy for Brendan. Soon the others joined him, along with Brendan himself.

Twilight - "Morning Michael. I bet you and Brendan are excited for your semifinal battle against each other today."

Michael - "I'm sure we'd both be lying if we said we weren't Twilight. And Brendan. May the better Trainer win."

Brendan - "Agreed."

After breakfast was over, the party made their way over to the central stadium. There they cheered for Wally in his semifinal battle, which he won in convincing fashion. Which also meant that Wally would face the winner of the other semifinal. Then after lunch, it was Michael and Brendan's turn. Audrey was already in position waiting for them.

Audrey - "This will be a 6-on-6 Semifinal battle between Brendan of Hoenn's Littleroot Town and Michael Masi of Pokémon Island. The battle will continue all Pokémon on one side are unable to continue. Are both trainers ready?"

Both Trainers activate their Battle Disks.

Michael/Brendan - "Ready!"
