When the very last 1 on 1 match had came to an end, with all of Ash's loyal friends as well as the traitors successfully winning, Charles Goodshow started to make another announcement.

"So that marks the end of all of the 1 on 1 matches, leaving 128 participants left. The next set of matches will be tag battles, 4 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon, which will begin the day after tomorrow and last for 4 days straight. Please pay your attention on the screens to see who you're paired up with, the allocated day of your match (1-4) and the match number (1-4 for morning matches and 5-8 for afternoon matches)," said Charles Goodshow as he gestured to the large electronic screen above him, which showed digital animated photos of the remaining 128 participants as they were shuffled up into pairs, then the match day and number assorted into a table.

About 30 seconds later, after shuffling, the electronic screen revealed the following (for known participants here only. In terms of pair VS pair, all known pairs given below will be facing against one of the 44 unnamed pairs):

"So just like the Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition, I'm teamed up with Paul," said Ash.

"Except this time," said Paul. "We will ensure that it is proper teamwork unlike last time."

"You bet," replied Ash.

"Thank goodness that I'm not teamed up with any of the traitors," said Sawyer in relief.

"I guess everyone here can say the same," added Gary and the others nodded in agreement.

"Everyone better make it through or they will have to pay a fine," said Barry.
