Chapter 275: Battle starts
Before the Castelia Club arrived, Hogan looked at the five people and said seriously, “Today is the time to test your training results. No matter how strong the opponent is, you must take them seriously and give it your all.”
Scott emphasized, “The rules of the battle have already been explained to you. Whoever can defeat four or more of the opponent’s Pokémon in the battle will have the opportunity to formally sign with Frontier Club!”
“Even if you don’t want to join us, there will be corresponding rewards.”
As the seven members of the Castelia Club arrived, the five members of the Frontier Club and five Trainers from the other side began to size each other up.
Meanwhile, Scott and Morde started their verbal sparring again. This battle was a private bet between Scott and Morde, so there were no outside spectators. However, Hogan and a young Trainer from the other side stood on either side of them. They were there partly to act as referees and witnesses to the battle, and partly to take responsibility for the young people they had brought along.
When the Castelia Club appeared, Terrance and his group couldn’t help but focus on Kaveh, whose bald head was too conspicuous, drawing their attention.
Saki tried hard to suppress a laugh, her face turning red, but out of politeness, she held it in. It wasn’t until Hogan gave her a stern look that she managed to regain her composure.
At the same time, the Castelia Club members were also observing the Frontier Club members. The two groups were quite similar in composition, with four males and one female each, and there wasn’t much of an age difference—everyone was full of youthful energy.
Hogan sighed softly as he observed the scene. The battle hadn’t even started, and he already felt at a disadvantage—not in terms of momentum or strength, but in the team’s behavior. The Frontier Club members were each doing their own thing, looking around, constantly assessing the situation.
