Pokémon · Season 25
[Ash's Mega-Lucario gets back up but Cynthia's Garchomp is unconcious from the Reversal hit. You know what that means...]
Garchomp is unable to battle! So the victory goes to Ash Ketchum! [Yes! You took down the Sinnoh Champion! Now the fans have finally forgiven the writers for Ash's Sinnoh League loss. Wonder how Paul would react to Ash's win against Cynthia?]
Finally, he pulls off an upset that I'm happy about!
Defeating both the Hoenn and Sinnoh Champions means one thing.
It's not luck!
Wobbu! [No it isn't!]
[Just then, the Rocket gang realized something...]
We did have a reason for being here, right?
To provide commentary for fun and profit and...
Steal some super strong Pokémon!
Wobbuffet. [Oh yeah, we forgot about that.]
Ash.
Hm. [Cynthia extends her hand towards him for a handshake, which he accepts.] Thanks, Cynthia.
I'm the one who should be thanking you. [Ash is confused] Watching you and your Pokémon interacting in so many ways. It made me realize just how many things there are still left for me to learn. Thank you, Ash. Truly.
[off camera] Grookey! [Heck yeah!]
Let's battle again someday.
Sure!
[Cynthia leaves the stadium and runs into Diantha again.]
That was a good battle.
Even though I lost...[giggles a bit]...I'm taking back my decision to retire.
[relieved] I thought you'd do that. [Did any fans really thought the Sinnoh Champion was going to retire that easy after her loss? Good thing Ash was not aware of Cynthia's retirement plan.]
Something so exciting and fun. I just can't quit. In battle and in research, there's still a lot left to master.
That's how it should be!
[Leon summons Eternatus while showing it off to Ash and Goh, much to their shock]
Surprised?
Yeah...[remembers Eternatus in the Darkest Day arc] I mean it was so over the top destructive. That was the reason I had Professor Magnolia take it.
We decided for the time being, we'd keep it in a place deep underground below the lab. Things is, staying asleep all the time isn't much of a life.
Right. Eternatus has a deep connection to Galar particles. The energy that flows through the region, this is how Pokémon cannot be separated from the Galarian way of life. We must all learn to co-exist with Eternatus.
[Goh receives a notification on his phone, much to his shock.]
Goh, what's up?
Sorry, Ash. Looks like I won't be able to see your battle tomorrow. That was an emergency communication from Project Mew. I've got to pack up and leave ASAP.
Okay. You better go find Mew right away.
I will and you better win that match!
Got it! [If Goh cannot watch Ash's match in person due to Project Mew, then who is going to root for Ash in Goh's place?]
Hey Goh, it's too bad.
Oh?
Ash's final Masters Eight tournament match is today, isn't it?
It sure is. Even so, I trust that he's going to win. See, we promised each other. Next time we meet, we'll both be smiling.
Yeah, you're right. [Okay, so Gary and Goh cannot see Ash's battle against Leon due to Project Mew commitments...make sense]
[Backstage, Ash places his Z-ring, Dynamax band and Mega Gloves on. He then faces his Journeys team.]
Hey guys, you ready? Then let's do this! [The rest of the Journeys team declare themselves ready for the match.] We're gonna win, right?! [The team exclaim in agreement. Just then, a Piplup and Eevee run up to Ash and his team. Could it be...?]
What? [Just then, Dawn and Chloe show up into the backstage area]
Hi there, Ash!
Sorry to barge in!
Dawn, Chloe!
We'll both cheer for you and since Goh couldn't make it, I'll cheer on his behalf too. [Nice substitutes, but where are the rest of Ash's other companions, not counting Tracey, Goh, and Iris?]
Awesome, thanks a lot.
Besides, I wanted to let Eevee see a live tournament.
Eevee! [You know it!]
I can understand that. I watched all this time on TV, but I just had to be there for this!
Everyone's cheering for you, back at the lab. Give it you're all, okay?
Lee, what's wrong?
[in his mind] Feeling nervous but in a good way. I wonder why am I remembering my first Pokémon battle now?[reveals flashback of a young Leon facing a young Sonia. This is a foreshadow of what the results are going to be...]
[Piplup wearing his old cheerleader outfit from the Diamond and Pearl series. He is showing off his cute cheers to Chloe.]
You are just so cute in that outfit!
Isn't it great? Piplup always cheered like that back in Sinnoh, too.
[We see Iris sitting in a tree watching the game on her tablet computer (went home to Unova to resume her Unova Champion duties), Lance is watching the game with Dragonite on his phone, Alain is with Mairin and Professor Sycamore at Sycamore's lab watching the game] And now, let's bring our finalists to the field. Ranked 8 in the Masters Eight, the very first Champion of the Alola region and hailing from Kanto, Ash Ketchum! [crowd cheering]
If Ash can't do it, no one can! [Both Piplup and Eevee are cheering on as well]
So many people cheering for Ash!
Ever since Ash entered the World Coronation series, he has taken on and defeated a long list of powerful opponents. [Steven is watching the game in a meeting room inside Devon Corporation.] Perhaps, the most watched contestant, he even defeated Hoenn Champion, Steven Stone. Ash, then, took on the Sinnoh Champion, Cynthia, and emerged victorious. [Both Diantha and Cynthia are watching the game in person in the VIP box. Those two female Champions must now be big fans of Ash...] He has used Dynamax, Z-Moves and Mega Evolution, combining them with a Pokémon battling style of his own. So what kind of inspired moves will he make today? Now the one facing Ash. Here's the reigning Monarch with worldwide name recognition. He's the role model and battling goal for Pokémon trainers all over the globe. Ranked no. 1 in the Masters Eight, the Champion of the Galar region, Leon!
The finals consists of a six-on-six full battle. There will be no limits on time or switching out Pokémon. The one who leaves all six of their opponents Pokémon unable to battle wins! Also, a contestant is only permitted to use Dynamax, a Z-move or Mega Evolution once per-
Hold it!
Leon?
Just once is pretty boring. So come at me using them all, okay?
Really?
This is the ultimate test of the all out competition! I want to battle with all their power! That's right! And that's why I want all of your Pokémon to hit us with everything we got! Dynamax, Z-moves and Mega Evolution! I want to battle against all of them! I want to challenge them all and beat them all! What about you? Don't you want to see a full power battle?! [The crowd cheers loudly which is cool, but we need approval from the officials first, Leon!]
Go Lee! Yeah, that's my brother with the awesome ideas!
What does that mean?
That means it'll be an amazing match!! Alright, you can do it, Ash!!
[contacting the officials of Leon's proposition] Yes. Mmm-hmmm. I see. [hangs up] The officials in charge of the World Coronation series have agreed to Leon's suggestion! Ash, do you agree?
You bet! Sounds awesome! [Okay! Now we can start the show with this rule!]
That's something Leon would do.
Yes. This might become the kind of battle we'll never see again.
[Leon summons his Cinderace out while Ash summons his Pikachu.]
I'm counting on you! I want you to be the first on the field.
