Despite feeling unlucky, Keita Nakada quickly adjusted his mindset. As an experienced trainer, he wasn't one to dwell on negativity for long.

The Indigo Conference followed a preliminary + elimination format.
After three rounds of preliminaries, 32 trainers would be selected from the massive pool of participants.
Due to the sheer number of contestants and the need to complete the preliminaries quickly, these matches were held in smaller side arenas.
Because of the varying skill levels among the participants, the preliminaries weren't broadcast on television, and even the live audiences at these arenas were sparse.
However, Luo Yuan felt his luck wasn't too bad. Perhaps because it was the first match of the day, or due to the novelty factor, his arena was more than half full.
Of course, it was also possible that the president of Silph Co. had mobilized employees to watch the match.
From Luo Yuan's observations, quite a few spectators looked like people he had seen in the Silph Co. building back in Saffron City.
