Yes, I know, that's why I've said that Toyone's "pursuit riichi" countering Toki's "riichi ippatsu" depends if she can ron Toki on the turn that she declared riichi. After reading the manga you're right, Toki would most likely win or perhaps their ability would cancel each other out.

Scenario 1: Toki wins
Toyone cannot pursue Toki since the next turn after she calls riichi Toki wins.Since the next tile Toki draws is automatically her win, then Toki won't discard it and of course Toyone can't ron it. Of course, the round also ends since Toki has already completed her hand.

Scenario 2: Draw
Toki's riichi ippatsu and Toyone's pursuit riichi will cancel each other out. Think about it Toyone's ability depend on someone when in riichi not drawing a winning tile and discarding it so she can ron while Toki's depend on giving herself the winning tile after riichi . So instead of Toki winning or Toyone making a ron, the tile drawn is a dud for both of them.

Scenario 3: Possible Toyone win
Toki's ability seems to be one that can easily be disturbed, if Toyone or any other player disturbs the draw order ( call a kan, pon and chi). Then, Toki will miss her winning tile and if Toyone can call a pursuit hand after the draw order disturbance since Toki is still in riichi. Of course, this scenario doesn't take account Toki's other ability or if Toyone's ability will work if she did not declare pursuit riichi right away.
