The match between Red and Trip was one of the first matches of the tournament. In fact, all the eight seeded trainers featured in the 9 am matches of the first day.

It was eight o'clock in the morning. Both Red and Yellow were ready for their battles and were heading down to the cafeteria for their breakfast when they came across the traitors. Red wanted to ignore the group but held back when he heard Trip telling him something.

"Hello Red, ready for our match today?"

"Maybe I should ask you that question."

"Oh don't worry about me, I have won the Unova league and after today I will be called 'The one who beat the Champion'."

Red just smiled and he said, "You are from Unova, right? Let me give you a headstart. I am going to use my three Unova starters in today's match, their final evolution forms actually. We will see what you can do with this information." Red and Yellow walked away from the group to have their breakfast.

"Well Red just put himself in a lot of disadvantage revealing his Pokemon." Trip said grinning.

"I don't know Trip, he is the Champion of six regions and challenging him like this was not a good idea. He may have revealed the Pokemon he is going to use but I bet he has something up his sleeve," said Brock. "I agree," Gary replied.

"It doesn't matter if he is the Champion; Trip is no slouch either. He has given Trip a lot of advantage and he is going to pay for this mistake." Max boasted as if he was going into the battle.

"Yeah you are right Max. Trip you can win this," Alain supported his travelling companion. Everyone nodded in agreement except Brock and Paul. They both knew it was not going to end well for Trip. They could not believe how naive their friends could be.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first match of the Master's Victory Tournament. It is going to be a three on three battle between the former Unova League winner, Trip of Nuvema Town and the Champion of the six regions Red. On paper, this looks like a victory for Red but let me remind you people, Trip has the reputation of causing upsets in big matches. Will this be his day? We all just have to wait and watch." The commentator announced. Red and Trip were standing in their respective boxes.

"The match between Red and Trip will now begin. Each side can use a maximum of three Pokemon. Substitutions are allowed in the match. Now, the randomiser on the screen will show who will reveal his first Pokemon." The referee declared.
