Next morning the group was having breakfast in the cafeteria when the announcement for the Quarter-finals came on screen.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the moment has come which we all have been waiting for. The best eight Pokemon trainers in the world have found their way into the Quarter-finals of this prestigious tournament. We have had some intense battles in the Round of 16 and we finally have with us the victors. So far, we have had some great upsets in the round-robin as well as the knockout rounds of the tournament but at the end of the day, it is our top eight seeds who have all qualified for the Quarter-finals. This round marks the beginning of full six-on-six battles. Without further ado, we present on your screens the live draw of the Quarter-finals of the Masters' Victory Tournament. The randomiser will choose the names of the eight trainers.

The first match is going to be between the Sinnoh Elite-Four & former Champion Cynthia and the Kalos Elite-Four & former Champion Diantha. The second match will take place between the former Kalos Queen Aria and the current Kalos Queen & Top Co-ordinator Serena. The third match will feature the Kanto & Johto Elite-Four & former Champion Lance and the Unova Elite-Four & former Champion Alder. So, that means in the final match of the day, the Hoenn Elite-Four & former Champion Steven will go up against the top seed, the champion of the six regions, Ash Ketchum. All the matches will take place in the central arena. Get geared up everyone as we are going to witness four grand battles tomorrow. On behalf of the Pokemon League and the Masters' Victory Tournament, Reporter Alexa wishes all the trainers their very best."

"Well, only four of us are going to remain in the tournament by the end of tomorrow," said Aria smiling at others.

"Yes, let's give it all we have got and make them battles to remember," replied Ash and others nodded in approval.

"Since today is a rest day, what do you guys want to do?" Cynthia asked.

"We can just hang out or if any of you have some other work or training to do, you can. Ash, me and our Pokemon are taking a rest today," Serena replied.

"I want to go up to Mt. Silver, anyone wants to join?" Steven asked.

"I will tag along. Maybe let my Pokemon enjoy nature." Diantha replied.

"I think it is a brilliant idea. I will take up that offer too." Lance said.

"Then why don't we all head to Mt. Silver then. You guys can meet all our Pokemon there." Ash said.

"All your Pokemon are in Mt. Silver? Why aren't they inside their Pokeball? Who is looking after them?" Bonnie asked many questions surprised.

"Yes, they are in Mt. Silver. We found that place a few years back. Our Pokemon have stayed in the wild with us for the last seven years, so, they prefer it that way. As for who is looking after them, it is a surprise." Serena replied smiling.

"Well, we should all get going then," Clemont said.

"You guys carry on. I am having some rest here. Scott wants to see me too. So, you go without me." Alder said.

"Alright let's go then," Ash said.

"Mom, do you want to come with us too?" Serena asked Grace.

"Why not; there is no point in just sitting around. I want to see all your Pokemon. I am sure they will be happy to see me again." Grace replied.
