Liam went to call his mom and tell her. She informed Liam that Clair was holding a special tournament in Blackthorn City. She went on to say it was a tournament for "Dragon and dragon-like Pokémon." The winner would receive the Dragon Fang. The tournament started in a few days, so Liam had to teleport to take place in it. liam realized he has a few dragon Pokemon that would very likely be unique to the tournament. Since the Dragon Cup would be a week tops, it would leave Liam with plenty of time for his other planned training for the last few months. He thanked his mother for the info. She then had to go, a trainer just rushed in carrying the Raichu they tried to use against Clair's Pokemon. 
      Liam went to Shiranui. "Well, I'm off to do some special training." Liam said.
