Chapter 523: Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 523 (Bonus Chapter)
Alex waited for almost 30 minutes before his match was finally called.
A staff member soon approached and led both him and Walter toward the arena entrance.
As they walked side by side through the corridor, Alex took the opportunity to get a better look at his opponent.
Walter appeared to be in his early thirties and stood slightly taller than Alex. He had short dark-brown hair, tanned skin, and a sturdy build that suggested years of outdoor travel and training. His face was somewhat rough around the edges, with a strong jawline and several faint scars that hinted at a long career as a Pokémon Trainer.
Most notably, Walter carried himself with a calm confidence. There was no visible nervousness in his expression.
The two trainers followed the staff member out of the waiting room and into one of the corridors leading toward the battlefield.
After a short walk, the staff member stopped and said, "Participant Number 18 will enter first. Participant Number 3, please wait here for a moment."
Alex nodded and watched as Walter walked through the entrance tunnel and stepped into the arena.
As soon as Walter appeared, a wave of applause and cheers erupted from the audience. Many spectators immediately recognized him.
