In the blink of an eye, 1.5 hours passed, and the spectators filled the stands. In the afternoon, exciting matches await the audience. And they didn't take long to wait.
One of the first matches to hold in the afternoon belongs to the winner of the Black Sea Region. Under the enthusiasm of the audience, the winner of the Black Sea Region, Ayda, took the field. Then her opponent, who took part in the tournament as the top 30 in the Eastern Region, took to the field. After the referee told the match to begin, both sides sent their pokemon.
The spectators, who thought that this match would end with a single pokemon, paid attention to the match with anticipation. But this match would not be the one-sided match they had hoped for. While some spectators would enjoy the game's contentious and not one-sided match, most fans would disappoint. Especially the residents of the Black Sea Region would show a rather disappointed expression. They will be angry to Ayda for not winning by using a single Pokemon like the other regional winners.
Under the spectator's excitement looks, the match started. On Ayda's face, there was a calm expression with no sign of emotions. Her opponent had an excited expression in his face for battling a strong opponent. There was sadness in his eyes because of the low chance of winning this match.
Ayda sends Hawlucha to the field, while her opponent sends Raichu. Ayda is a multi-type trainer her opponent who East Region trainer specializes in Electric-type pokemon.
Looking at the pokemons in the field, there is a type advantage of Raichu's.
''Raichu, use Dig.''
''Hawlucha, jump and use Fly''
Thanks to Fly move, Hawlucha did not affect Raichu's Dig move.
After a while, Raichu comes out of the ground.
''Hawlucha, use Steel Wing'' -Ayda
Hawlucha attacks to Raichu at high speed while covering its wings with steel energy.
''Raichu, use Dig.''
Raichu dodges the Hawlucha's Steel Wing move with using Dig to enter the underground.
''Raichu, use Thunderbolt''
Raichu attacks to Hawlucha with Thunderbolt.
''Hawlucha, dodge the Thunderbolt with using Fly, then use Flying Press.''
Hawlucha rises in the air while using the Fly. With this way, it dodges the Thunderbolt. Hawlucha, after dodging the Thunderbolt, to raises its speed, turns around horizontally, then dives the Raichu. Because of the Hawlucha's high speed, Raichu has not enough time to dodge.
''Raichu, use Thunder Punch.'' After realising the Raichu cannot dodge the attack, its trainer asks it to use Thunder Punch to counter-attack.
Raichu's punch, which covered with electric energy and Hawlucha's body which covered fighting energy, clash. Under the heavy impact, Raichu is sent back by flying.
Also, electric energy gives Hawlucha heavy damages. Furthermore, Raichu's Static ability is engaged and Hawlucha fall into the state of Paralysis. it can understand that Hawlucha's ability is not Limber.
After the impact, Raichu cannot continue the battle. Raichu's trainer takes Raichu back, then sends Manectric to the field.
Manectric easily defeats the Hawlucha, who lost its speed under the situation of Paralysis.
Ayda, who not affected by the defeat of Hawlucha, sends Ninetales to the field after taking back Hawlucha to its Pokeball.
With Ninetales coming to the field, the sun's rays increase the effect and the temperature of the field increases. With this way, it understood that Ninetales ability is Drought. Also, its mastery has developed very well.
''Manectric, use Discharge.''
Manectric releases multiple bolts of yellow electricity from its body at the Ninetales.
''Ninetales, use Protect''
With Protect, it appears blue energy covering around the Ninetales. With this way, Ninetales does not take any damages.
''Ninetales, use Sunny Day. After Sunny Day, use Flamethrower.''
Ninetales raises the temperature in the air using Sunny Day move. With this way, it raises the power of the fire type moves. With the support of the rising the fire type attack powers, Ninetales uses the Flamethrower.
Ninetales sprays a great flame from his mouth. This flame quickly hits Manectric, giving no chance to dodge. Because of this, Manectric cannot continue the battle.
After Manectric losses, its ability to continue the battle, its trainer takes Manectric back to the Pokeball. After this, the trainer sends Luxray to the field.
After entering the battlefield, Luxray win against the Ninatales with attacking powerful moves.
With taking back Ninetales to its Pokeball, Ayda sends Venusaur.
After seeing Venusaur, Beyaz gets excited. He sees a starter pokemon second time. Before Venusaur, he saw Aisa's Charmander.
Because of this, for the first time, he will see a starter pokemon's last evolution in the battle.
A noisy Growl sends by Venusaur when it enters the battlefield.
''Venusaur, use Vine Whip.''
Two vines emerge from the flower at the top of Venusaur and attack Luxray with high speed.
''Luxray, Dodge it, then use Fire Fang''
Luxray does what its trainer said and dodges the Vine Whip. Then it runs to Venusaur while accumulating fire energy in its mouth.
''Venusaur, use Weather Ball.''
An energy ball accumulates in front of Venusaur and it turns into fire energy with the effect of air. Then this energy ball flies to Luxray.
Weather Ball explodes directly in Luxray's mouth. With the blast, Luxray loses control of its fire energy and collapses to the ground.
With this result, the winner of the match determines.
The Eastern Region trainer gets a lot of applause, despite his loss.
'Probably, Ayda trains her lower tier pokemons with these matches' Beyaz thinks. Also, some other trainers think just like Beyaz. After all, the power of a region winner has never shown so low performance during matches.
By evaluating the performance of Ayda, many people think that the Black Sea Region is the weakest region. After all, when researched enough, it seems that Ayda used the same pokemons which used in the regional tournament.
For these reasons, the enthusiasm of the fans after Ayda's victory is much less than the winner of other regions.
After Ayda's match, the regional champions continue their superior performance.
The winner of the Marmara Region, Atakan, defeats all pokemon of the opponent with Slowking.
Mediterranean Region winner Attila uses Gyarados to defeat all the opponent's Pokemon.
In this way, there are various trainers that show superior performance by using a single Pokemon. Regional second ones showed similar performances and won the enthusiasm of the audience.
Also, the Black Sea Region second one effectively defeats the opponent with a single Pokemon. Seeing this, some spectators begin to reassess their view of Ayda. However, many people still think that Ayda is weak and that the second in the region deliberately quit the match. They go even further and use this reason to even launch smear campaigns.
The match that Beyaz and Absol were most excited by is Melissa's match.
She sends Absol to the field with the start of the match.
"Look Absol, it is another Absol. Maybe it's your relative." Beyaz tells Absol with a smile.
"Absooolllll" Absolute sighs.
But both Beyaz and Absol highly touched by Melissas' Absol's performance.
Her opponent attacks first. Absol blocks the opponent's attack with Sword Dance. Then it defeats the opponent using Psycho Cut. It defeats the opponent's second Pokemon using Stone Edge and opponent's third Pokemon using Sucker Punch.
After the match, Beyaz and Absol had stars in their eyes. Both had an expectation on their faces. Absol wants to become such a powerful pokemon and take part in this tournament.
But neither of them knew. Their strength would reach the top of this world.
