Bella Quinn vs Charlotte!
The moment the match result was announced, the audience erupted in excitement!
"Finally! It's happening! I've been waiting for this for years!"
"Damn! First round and we're already getting this showdown? Sisters going head-to-head? Let's go!!"
"Quinnie, save me! Wait... why are you on the other side of the bracket?!"
"Ahhh! I love watching two girls fight! Bring it on!"
"What kind of spicy chicken match is this?! Why must you play with my emotions like this?! This system really knows how to stir the pot!"
"Damn... these are my two favorite competitors! Why couldn't they face each other in the finals?"
The audience was buzzing with excitement. There was no doubt that Charlotte was the hottest rising star in the tournament, while Bella Quinn was right behind her in popularity.
A showdown between these two was just too perfect to miss!
"Folks! Audience members! This is what we've been waiting for!"
Even the announcer, hyped beyond words, couldn't contain his excitement. With only four competitors remaining, any matchup was bound to be interesting...
But this?
This was electric.
The two sisters, famous for their love-hate bond, were finally stepping onto the battlefield to face off.
"So without further delay, let's give a roaring welcome to our first semi-finalists!"
"Bella Quinn!"
"Charlotte!"
The announcer's powerful voice thundered across the stadium, amplified by the sound system.
In the player's tunnel, two young women emerged from the shadows — and the arena exploded with noise.
"Ahhh! Charlotte! Go, go, go!!"
"Quinnie!! You're the best, Quinnie! Destroy your sister!!"
"Dragon Pokémon are unstoppable! Crush her, Charlotte!"
"My Quinnie!! My sweet Quinnie! Destroy them!!"
The deafening, chaotic mix of cheers filled the entire stadium, with fans waving banners and glow sticks like maniacs.
"...OMG…"
McKenna stared at the scene in shock.
Even though she had soundproof earplugs stuffed in her ears — courtesy of Logan — her head was still ringing.
People said sports fans were passionate — especially in the West — but this?
This crowd's energy was next-level insane.
"Even though I expected this... I didn't think it'd be this loud."
As the shouting gradually subsided, Nathan sighed and lowered his hands from his ears.
He wanted to describe this wild crowd... but no words seemed fitting.
"Totally normal," Jason said with a calm shrug.
"Charlotte and Quinnie are the two most popular competitors. Of course their match is the biggest highlight since the tournament started."
His eyes locked onto the two girls standing at their designated starting points.
"Haha~ I wonder how she's feeling right now."
How Was She Feeling?
Charlotte stared across the field at Bella Quinn — her beautiful, fair face strangely unfamiliar in that moment.
Complicated... her emotions were so complicated.
They had been sisters since childhood — practically inseparable.
Sure, they bickered constantly, but that was just part of their routine. Life was boring without teasing and arguing to spice things up, right?
But no matter how much they quarreled, there was one thing both of them knew for certain:
They were each other's most important person.
Nothing — no argument, no fight — would ever change that.
"Now starting the first semi-final match!"
"On one side: Charlotte! On the other: Bella Quinn!"
"The match format is 2v2! The battlefield is a standard arena! When one side's Pokémon are both defeated, the other side wins!"
"The winner advances to the finals! The loser will compete for third place in the lower bracket! Now... let the battle begin!"
"I wish you both the best of luck!"
The referee blew his whistle, raised his flag, and bowed slightly before stepping back to allow the battle to unfold.
As the referee's voice echoed across the stadium, Charlotte's figure became clearer in Bella Quinn's eyes.
For a long moment, Bella Quinn just stared at her...
And then she smiled.
A warm, beautiful smile.
"Guess it's no surprise we ended up here."
Bella Quinn pulled out a shrunken Poké Ball, still smiling as she looked at Charlotte.
"I've been waiting for this moment. I know you understand what I mean."
Bella Quinn placed her hand gently over her heart, feeling its excited rhythm pounding beneath her palm.
Yes...
The reason this match meant so much was because it was her on the other side.
"Jason... Logan... Lily... Nathan... McKenna..."
"There were so many people I wanted to face in this tournament."
"But... the one I wanted to battle the most... was you, Charlotte!"
Her hand pressed harder against her chest — her heart was beating faster than ever.
She was excited — her emotions were almost overwhelming.
Because her most important sister was her opponent.
And this stage, with the world watching... it couldn't be more perfect.
"Remember our first battle? I lost to you back then."
"You'll lose today too."
Charlotte grinned smugly.
"That's not guaranteed!" Bella Quinn's smile widened.
"Hmph~ No matter how many times we battle, I'll keep winning!"
Charlotte's voice was sharp and confident, her usual energy shining through.
"I beat you once! I can keep winning!"
Bella Quinn chuckled softly.
"Sorry, Asabo… but honestly…"
She raised her Poké Ball and whispered:
"I'm not so sure about that."
