Love Like Electricity (Pokemon SwSh Raihan) Book 1✔️

Chapter 8

Uila smoothens out her uniform, slightly relieved she was allowed her pokemon belt with it. Lucario's pokeball wriggles and she places her hand on it. "Calm down. It won't be very long now." Just then she felt the stadium rumble as the Chairman began to speak.

"Welcome one and all to the Opening Ceremony for this year's Gym Challengers. We have a promising bunch, but before we get to that, I would like to introduce our amazing Gym Leaders!"

A door opens up and Nine of the Ten gym leaders. "Unfortunately one of our Gym leaders couldn't make it, but I would like to Introduce them. Coming up first, we have the Gentle Giant, the Grass-Type Leader Milo!" Milo smiles and waves lightly.

"Next up, we have the Water-Type Beauty Nessa!" Nessa flips her hair and winks.

"After her, we have our Fire-Type Veteran Kabu!" Kabu nods.

"Coming up is the Karate Prodigy, Fighting-Type Leader Bea, along with the Ghost-Type leader Allistor." Bea kicks the air and Allistor fiddles with his mask.

"Next up is the Lovely Opal, the Fairy-Type Leader." She waves lightly.

"After her, there is Melony, the Ice-Queen, and Gordie, the Rock-Type Genius." Melony waves and Gordie just stands there.

"Lastly, there is our Dragon Tamer, and final Leader Raihan." The stadium erupts in cheers and Raihan gives a cocky smile.

The chairman clears his throat. "Now! Let's introduce this year's competitors!"

That was Uila's cue to step into the pitch. She was almost blinded by the lights in the Arena, and the roaring of the crowd was deafening.

"Let's give one warm welcome to our challengers! Who do you think has what it takes to make it to the top? Let's also introduce our Undefeated Champion, Leon!"

The audience grew louder as Leon appeared in a plume of smoke, his Charizard right behind him.

"Challengers, we wish you the best of luck on your Gym Challenge! This concludes our opening ceremony!"

In a small hotel on Melemele Island, a Green-Haired boy stares at the TV wide-eyed. His sister was in Galar, and was competing. A wave of determination hit him as knew he had to finish his Island challenges before he could see her. He wanted to prove to her just how strong he had become.
