[After watching the battle in Wyndon Stadium, Ash and Goh see the statue]
Hey, do you think this might be a statue of Leon?
Hm. Well, it looks like him in a power pose, but then again, no.
[Does a pose] He looked a lot more like this.
[Goh's eyes animate differently after Ash's line]
Sorry, not even close! [does a pose] This!
[Does another pose] Or this!
Not quite right. [Seizes Ash tight] You're not smiling like Leon does!
[struggling] Got it.
[off camera] So my friend Leon's a hero...
Huh?
[Cut to a woman with orange hair who is sitting on a bench]
Oh. Oh, don't mind me! I've got a habit of talking to myself.
Excuse me. Is this statue supposed to be Leon?
No, not a chance! That's a famous Galar region hero.
A hero?
Yup, yup! [A flashback from long ago begins] Long ago, a great black storm covered the Galar region. The land was assaulted by gigantic Pokemon.
Gigantic?
Sounds like Dynamax..
But they were defeated by a single young hero bearing a sword and shield. [The camera returns to the present] The statue here is meant to depict the young hero of that legend, mostly just in spirit, though.
Whoa.
Do you think that storm could've been a hurricane or thunderstorm?
I'm still not really sure just what it was. Or even if the legend actually occurred. I want to know what kind of person they were, and where the sword and shield are now. And what does it have to do with Dynamaxing? You could say investigating this is a bit of homework. And it's exhausting!
It's homework? You mean for school?
Oh, no way! See my gran, a Pokemon Professor, asked me. I'm kind of her assistant, more or less.
Cool! My name's Ash! This is my partner, Pikachu.
Pikachu!
[The woman shrieks with awestruck and gets all gaga over Pikachu]
What a cutie pie! [Caresses Pikachu's ears]
[annoyed] Pika!
And my name's Goh. This is my...
[But then, the woman shrieks again upon seeing Raboot and caresses its ears too, much to Goh's surprise]
You're a real cutie pie, too! [gibbers]
[nervous] Ra... Ra...
We came all the way here from the Kanto region.
We're working as research fellows, investigating lots of Pokemon. Hi.
Wow! Sonia's my name. Nice to meet you!
