Chapter 8: Let The Tournament Begin

Chapter 8: Let the tournament begin

Welcome everybody to Chapter 8 of The Betrayed Champion. I'm honestly surprised at you guys. Last chapter was easily the most reviewed chapter I've had and that is awesome. To be honest my main goal in writing this story was to have double the amount of reviews than the words by the thousand so it's a real accomplishment to reach that and you know just because I don't have something for you guys to vote on doesn't mean you guys shouldn't review. And to razor123, trust me, I'll make sure a main legendary wouldn't ruin the story.

Alright, it's the moment you've all been waiting for and the moment I've been dreading. The tournament begins this chapter and I'm apologizing in advance if the battle scenes suck cause I've never written about battle scenes. Just to clarify whenever Ash talks about May he calls her Bitch because if you read the story you would know why, but don't worry he'll be calling her May again later on in the story. Enough of my rambling, lets continue with the story.

Disclaimer: Don't own pokemon I just write stories about them.

Alpha walked out of the hotel and into the glaring sunlight, still wearing his cloak to cover his face. He didn't usually get excited for a pokemon battle or really anything for that matter, but today was a different story. His palms were sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, and he couldn't wait to battle. But before any match could start, everyone had to go to the opening ceremonies and find out the brackets.

"Great, Now I have to go see that old man Mr. Goodshow ramble about crap that no one cares about. He just needs to shut up and tell us what we want to know and quit wasting our time with his meaningless crap, am I right Pikachu?" Alpha asked his yellow friend.

"Pika," Pikachu agreed while nodding his head.

They walked for a few minutes until they reached the main stage where Mr. Goodshow was going to greet them all. Alpha's eyes scanned the room and saw some familiar faces, Ritchie and Max stood there with determination written on their faces. Paul just had his hands in his pockets with an 'I don't care about this' look on his face and for a moment their eyes locked onto each other but Alpha averted his gaze and saw some other people. After a few minutes Mr. Goodshow appeared on stage and spoke.

"Welcome everyone to the first ever Pokemon Championship Competition!" Goodshow said with a grin. His words were greeted with screams of excitement by some of the competitors and the audience watching.

"The rules are simple, since there are 1,024 of you, the Pokemon battles will be three on three up to the top 16 but after that it will be six on six. The competitors will be separated into four groups by random," he said while pointing to giant TV screen hanging from the ceiling.

The screen stayed black for a second but after a couple seconds an image appeared of the four groups. Alpha eyes went directly to the screen and checked to see who was in his group.

'Well it looks like I'm in group A with Max, he must have some bad luck seeing how he's in my group, but other than him I don't see anyone worth caring for. But I am going against some girl named Jessica so I wonder how much fun I can have with her,' Alpha thought to himself.

Alpha's eyes shifted to the other groups. 'Is there even anyone here that can at least give me a resemblance of a challenge?' Alpha wondered while checking the other groups. He searched the groups to find anyone powerful looking and his eyes instantly went towards a familiar name.

'Well well well, I would have never guessed that the Sinnoh champion Cynthia would have entered this tournament, I would have guessed she would have been too busy falsely accusing people for things they didn't do. But no matter, she can at least give me somewhat of a challenge if I play it easy.' Alpha thought to himself while grinning.
