(dramatic slash) - Whoo! The entrance of
the logo, let's go. Oh that's my dad's old bag. Aw, that's sweet. I'm so handsome. A Wooloo, what's it doing here? They're clearly
everywhere, Hop. (chuckles) Like sad, we should stop
it from hurting itself. All right, guess we're
just gonna leave the Wooloo to give itself head trauma. Here's Leon, with his... (bangs) (crowd cheers)
ridiculous fashion sense. (chuckles) I bet I can beat the
both of you back home! Ah, do you honestly think
you could beat Leon? Me, yeah, I don't
even have a Pokémon. That Hop, always wanting
to be the best, isn't he? Proper rival of his own, I bet he'd push himself to
become something truly special. Come on, Lee! You promised
us a present, so out with it! You brought Micheal
and me Pokémon. You did, didn't you? I know you must have! Right then! The greatest gift
from the greatest champion. It's show time, everyone! Take a good look, you two. (balls whizzing)
(balls beeping) (Grookey chirping) (gasps) It's Grookey! (Scorbunny screeching) It's Scorbunny. (Sobble squeaking) It's Sobble. (upbeat whimsical music) (squeaks) Oh, that's a cool
little scene they got. (squeaks) (splashes) Oh, that was cute. (squeaks) (upbeat whimsical music) (splashes) (squeaking) (thud) uh-oh. (splash) (Sobble crying)
Aw! Poor Sobble. (hums) It's Scorbunny! (energetic music) Aw, yeah, fist bump, brother. (chuckles) (upbeat music) (sheep bleats) Oh man, it's two on one. Oh, no. Oh, we got the burn! You my two Pokémon
with your one?! You and that Scorbunny
are too much. That's correct. All right, onward. (crash) What the hell was that? Did you hear that just now? Oh, did the Wooloo finally
get through the freakin' gate? Lol. Whoa, oh my gosh, wow. I genuinely can't
see where I'm going. That is so awesome. (gasps) (howling) (suspenseful music) Run away. I can't run away but what? This is crazy. (Pokémon roaring) What? This is so cool! I can barely see
Scorbunny's ears. Wha... That was so cool. Hop! Micheal! Wha-? Lee? How'd you manage to
find your way here? You're pants with directions. You always get lost. Where's the Wooloo? We were trying to
rescue that Wooloo! Oh, this lab is beautiful. I love like big wooden
libraries, you know? Gotta give it to
Professor Magnolia. Everything in here
looks fascinating. What a cute Yamper. Was it today Leon? Looking for info on
another never-before-seen, superstrong Pokémon? (gasps) I ship it. And that's his trainer Sonia. What can I say about Sonia? Well, I like the way she cooks. What?! That seems a little
sexist maybe. What kind of an
introduction is that? Your favorite thing about
me is that I make good food. Damn! Just so you know, that Pokédex
is a gift from my gran. Could you let Gran know that
you received the Pokédex? She lives in the house
down along Route 2. Oh, she doesn't live at
the lab, that's weird. Look, there's the professor! So have you unraveled
all the secrets of the Dynamax phenomenon yet? Oh goodness, no. The whole thing is
still full of questions. I'd hope that my granddaughter would take over my
research, but... Mmmm Dear me, I'm sorry. I didn't even notice my guests! I trust you received
the Pokédex from Sonia. I'm sure you'll have
it complete in no time. Magnolia's been doing
research into the phenomenon for years and years and it takes a proper
understanding of the thing if you plan to use
Dynamax to the fullest. There you go again, Leon
always talking about Pokémon. There are other things that
are worth knowing about, too, you know. Like what? Oh, actually she
provided a suggestion. How many different
types of tea there are. Right then, in that
case, how about this? Let's see if the two
of you can show me such a brilliant battle
that I'm left with no choice but to endorse you. Don't worry, ill make
sure both your teams are in good shape before
the battle starts. Oh, I gotta fight him again. (upbeat fighting music) This music is so fun. Sounds like I should
be playing Mario Kart. No, we out speed, okay. It'll be a close one. Man, you haven't taken
out any of my Pokémon. And I even got my Poké
Ball throw perfect, too! The sting of defeat
and the joy of victory. I guess going through
both is the key to the two of us
getting stronger huh? Micheal! Hop! Well, after
seeing a match like that one, suppose I've little choice
but to give you both an endorsement as champion. (star falling) (gasps) What the heck? How incredibly convenient! They're Wising Stars! Oh, this is the Dynamax item. That's how we get it? It falls from the sky? Cool. There are a number of
conditions you must meet... I wonder what those
conditions are. I know, it only lets you
do it in certain places. (upbeat whimsical music) Okay, that's the
train station, got it! (fast music) Motostoke! All right. What a Wild Area, I'm very
excited to check this out. The train is halted, due to a
flock of Wooloo on the tacks. Wooloo are very clearly
an enormous nuisance
in this region. (dramatic music) It's here! It's so cool. This is so cool. Sonia, what are you
going to tell me? Nothing to worry
yourselves over, besides, id been quite
curious about that Pokémon you two met in the forest. Okay. Maybe Gran'll admit
I've got some talent. Oh my gosh, Magnolia's
not a good person. (chuckles) All right, the Wild Area. It is here. (dramatic music) Onix, I don't think you're
going to enjoy the rain. Run like the wind. (victory music) Okay, yeah, we probably
shouldn't fight that Onix. Yep, stay away from that thing. That thing wants to
kill me for sure. Pawn shop? Hello, large man. This is so fun. Ha! Wow! I was not ready for that. That startled me, I thought
I was gonna go straight up. All right. The opening ceremonies. This is fun. What does this man do? (victory jingle) Thank you, sir! The ball guy. Oh, everything is so grand. Ooo, this guy. The douche canoe. Ooo, let's go with
Sceptile's Dex number. You must be Michael... Budew Drop Inn is down this way. If you would be so
kind as to follow me. The Metagross people. 'Cause they have
Xs on their faces. Didn't we tell you, mate? You get in our way, and
you're in for a battle. Team Yell's all about helpin'... Helpin' one very special Trainer win the Gym Challenge, that is. We wanna make sure she gets
cheered on nice and proper... Now you're gonna help
us make some noise!ú (battle music) Ooh! A crit, way to go, Nosedive! Ha-ha! What are you lot doin' here? Marnie?! She gotta show a
bit of restraint. Stop being crazy. Marnie, she's so cute. Sorry 'bout them, they're
just a bunch of my fans. Call themselves Team Yell and follow me around
cheerin' for me. I think they've let it all
go to their heads a bit... They need a little
Morpeko, just like, "Hey." Come on, you lot, back home with you now! 254, in my gear. Got my hair. Sweet. (crowd cheers)
(upbeat fast music) Ladies and gentlemen! I am Rose, chairman
of the Pokémon League! It is my pleasure to
announce that finally- the Galar region Gym
Challenge will now begin! Now, I would like to invite the Gym Leaders to
show themselves! Oh, we're getting
introduced to them early? We're on it. (gasps) (crowd cheering) Oh, this is such a cool shot! Oh, this is such a cool shot! You've made it at last, Hop. And you, too, Micheal! So you're the two Trainers
our Champion endorsed himself! Welcome, and its a
delight to meet you. I'm Rose, of course. You know the Gym
Challenge has a set order that you've gotta visit
the Gyms in, right The first is in Turffield! To get there, we need
to head to Route 3! All right. All right. Cool. (upbeat music) I dig Hop's music,
not gonna lie. I think it's pretty solid. Fake it til we... Pake it til we make it? (gasps) Oh yay! I didn't even realize! (bells ring) (upbeat whimsical music) Raboot is cool. That's part of the reason
I picked Scorbunny, 'cause I really like Raboot. Yeah. Woobat and Diglett. The Diglett pops up and
down, that's so funny. Hey, it's our
douche canoe rival. You, you're the gym challenger
endorsed by the Champion, aren't you? What a joke. You're aware that the
chairman is more important than the Champion, right? I was chosen by the
chairman himself, so that makes me more
amazing than you! I suppose I should
prove beyond doubt just how pathetic you
are and ho strong I am. Man, you must be fun at parties. Ooh, a good lead. ♪ I defeated Trainer Bede ♪ ♪ Ha you suck ♪ ♪ I almost said
something inappropriate ♪ ♪ But I'm not going to ♪ (high-energy music) Wooloo crashed into
you and stopped! Are you OK? You took
that Tackle head on... Oh you must be one of those
Gym Challengers, right? Yes, indeed. I thought so, I saw you
at the opening ceremony. My name's Milo. I'm a Gym Leader and rather
partial to Grass-type Pokémon. I've been itching
to see just how good the Champion-endorsed
Gym Challengers are. Let me find out at
the Gym Stadium. Just head on through this route, and you'll run right
into my stadium. Sweet. Turffield Stadium. (relaxing island music) Bow wow wow! ♪ Bow-Wow-Wow ♪ ♪ Diggity-Doo-Diggity-Doo ♪ ♪ Digga-Bow-Wow-Wow ♪ Okay. (victory jingle) Whoa! A Friend Ball! (upbeat music) Holy crap, how'd they
fit this all in here? That water needs help. (upbeat music) Okay, knock on wood
that's not too bad. Oo, that was satisfying. My Gym's the first
one people face, so we get a lot of challengers. That's why I try to keep the
Gym mission challenging, but... That didn't stop you from
completing it, Micheal! Proper job! Sure seems like you
understand Pokémon real well. This is gonna be a
doozy of a battle! I'll have to Dynamax my
Pokémon if I want to win! Let's freakin' do this. (fast techno beat) My first Dynamax. (Dynamax activating) (laser thunders) (gasp) This is extremely cool. (fast techno music) (thuds) Oh, the deep imposing, like, oh! (laughs) All that buildup, one attack. Oh man, the fainting
of a Dynomax Pokémon
is super dramatic. Grass-match. (victory jingle) Yeah, it's on the
little ring-thing. Oo, 25! That's how you get
the other types. Hulbury, Hul-berry. A little Toxel! (victory jingle) Yeah! You're so pouty. ♪ Ah you gotta keep it strong ♪ ♪ Move along, move
along in the story now ♪ Oi! Just hand over
that bike already! All right, thrash 'em. Come on, give me one more
flinch and we've won for sure. Oh, a crit! Dude, how are you
getting so many crits? This is amazing. (zaps) Bye, losers. My word, you're
quite the trainer. I see you have a Pokédex, too! That means you have
a Rotom with you! Fantastic! I think I'll
give this bike to you, then. Better you have
it than Team Yell! Now, you know that Rotom love
motors very, very much, right? Enough to jump right into
machines that have motors! That got me thinking. If I attached a
motor to a bicycle, then maybe I could get a Rotom
to pop into that as well! I see! Come now. Give it a shot! Enjoy cycling together
with Rotom to the fullest. (victory jingle) All right, cool. Press the plus button
or minus button. Oh. (bike bell rings) Bicicleta! I warned you! We're
both Gym Challengers who've earned ourselves
a Grass Badge. This is the perfect training! Very well, Hop. (sheep bleats) (zaps) Yes!
(roars) Yes!
(roars) Drednaw! Nessa. I am genuinely worried for
Nessa because I don't have any good Grass-types. I have an Applin that is... Unconscious. Or, that is like,
it's an Applin. Whoa! (upbeat music) Yes! Let's go. Oh, hey, I'm here, cool. (laughs) Nessa? Oh, the bootie. You must be a Gym
Challenger, right? How'd you know? You're one of those
endorsed by Leon, right? Become something of a hot
topic among the Gym Leaders. Here you go, Mr. Famous. I already heard about you, so you should learn
about me, too. (victory jingle) Cool. Hey, this is familiar. This is just like the demo. (splashes) Dunzo-funzo! (crowd cheers) This is my second
battle versus Nessa. My first one was in the demo. Welcome, honored Gym-Challenger. I think you already
realize, but I'm Nessa. Sorry to have made
you look for me. I don't doubt my humble
mission's difficulty. Yet you cleared it. Your mind as a Pokémon
trainer must be quite refined. No matter, what kind of
plan your refined mind may be plotting, my partner
and I will be sure to sink it. Oh, boy. (crowd yelling) (fast techno music) (voices chant) (zaps) (bangs) (roaring) Dynamax is so cool! (zaps) (bangs) I love that just two
giant Pokémon facing off. (explosions) Let's go! Sit down, Drednaw, sit down! (happy music) (victory jingle) Yeah! Now what? Oh, wait, he's back in Motostok? Galar Mine, number two, okay. Whoo. Shellos aren't you a cute one? Oh. I'd feel sorry for my
Pokémon if I made them take part in a battle
against low-level opponents. I'm not in the mood to deal
with weaklings right now. Are you allowed to say no? (battle music) I think it's possible
that they'd let me say no. I defeated Trainer Bede. ♪ Ha-ha-ha-ha ♪ ♪ Ha-ha-ha-Ha ♪ Oh. (bass music) Hello. You're one of them takin' part
in the Gym Challenge, right? Oi, jog on, mate! Can't you see we're in the
middle of a conversation here!? Yeah? And can't you see
that I'm Hope the Trainer who'll be your next Champion? Ooh, so we've got
a joker here, eh? You're so funny,
I forgot to laugh. Oh, the burn. You think I'm joking?
I'll prove it, then! I'll crush your dumb faces. (tense music) What'd this other kid have
to come waltzin' up for, eh? I just wanted to know off
challengers one at a time. (laughs) (calming new age music) (synth jazz music) Team Yellow is causing
trouble for Kabu. Thank youfor helping out
with my training, Team Yell. But I must say it's
unforgivable for you to get in the way of
a Carkol hard at work! We weren't gettin' in its way! We were tryin' to cheer it on! Still you did a number on
us in that Pokémon battle, so it's time for
Team Yell to scarper and give a moral
boost elsewhere! Bye, bye, bye. ♪ Bye bye bye bye bye ♪ Cheering is one thing, but one shouldn't get in
the way of honest work! Gooooor. That's Kabu. Man, he's wicked! No wonder he's the
Fire-type Gym Leader! That's a cool uniform. Ah, you are the Trainers
endorsed by Leon! Hop and Micheal, am I right? I'm just training right
up until the last moment so that I can guarantee
the perfect match when I face you Gym Challengers! I specialize in
Fire-type Pokémon, and the Water-type Pokémon
in Galar Mine No. 2 are the perfect opponents
to train against! Oh, hey! Uhhh, Challenger Micheal, right? Out givin' it your all,
even this late, huh? Hey, help with
somethin' for a sec. I want t'see if I'm ready for the next leg of
the Gym Challenge. All right. Wicked! Got some
fight in you, huh? Team Skull Grunts materialize. Bite express-- Oh, what?! Silicobra, we're out! Ugh! That friend of yours
already went off to challenge the next Gym. Kabu's League Card is
supposed to help against him, but I ended up
with a few copies. It's suppose to help against
him, so I'll give you one. Don't look so chuffed,
it's no big deal. I should look at
these League Cards. Like what is the deal with them? Ha, you bet ya have Burn Heal. Catching Pokémon? (upbeat music) (Poké Ball ringing) (Poké Ball thumping) Yes. Welcome! I am Kabu, the
Fire-type Gym Leader. The fact that you are
here means you've bested both Milo's Grass-type Pokémon and Nessa's Water types, too. That's quite an accomplishment! Every Trainer and Pokémon trains
hard in pursuit of victory. That means your opponent is
also working hard to win. In the end, the match
is decided by which side is able to unleash
their true potential. (crowd cheering) What a cool battlefield. (fast-paced music) Cool. (fast-paced techno music) (zaps) (roars) Burn bright, Centiskorch. Oh, he's got a Gigantamax one? Holy crap, I've
never seen it before! Did you see the
fire in his eyes? (bangs) This is the greatest
Pokémon game ever made. That is horrifying. (bangs) Okay. Makes sense that it didn't K-O. (wind blowing) 'Cause I'm burned. Flutterby? Is this the bug one? (health depleting) One more max Rockfall. This should end it. (bangs) Boo-ya! Oh, I'm so pumped he
had the Giganmax form. I wish Nessa had
Gigantamax Drednaw. Fire Badge! (victory jingle) 35! Mr. Chairman! I love how he looks
like he's in his boxers. Just (laughs). I've been collecting
both Wishing Stars and Gym Badged as fast as I can! Good work, Bede. I'm glad you haven't forgotten that it was the chairman
who endorsed you. Yeah, he brings it up every
five freakin' seconds! If I gather enough
Wishing Stars, thall help solve the problems
that's been bothering you. Right, Mr. Chairman? Oh, its not just about me. It's for the future of
the whole Galar region. And we'll need more
tan just Wishing Stars. We need a powerful
Pokémon Trainer too... As you know, Wishing Stars
are those mysterious stones that are even attached
to your Dynamax Bands. There's more to Wishing Stars than just making your
Pokémon into giants, though! They hold far more
energy than that! If you're curious, you
should head to the stadium. In fact, we should
had inside right away! I'll even give you
a little lesson on how the Galar
region gets its energy. (victory jingle) Thanks, Ball Guy. Weird that they
just give me one. Micheal! Seems you're doing
well collecting Gym Badges. But Hop... Did something happen with him? He was acting really
odd when I ran into him. Yeah, he lost real bad. He took one look at me and immediately was like,
"I'm so sorry, Lee!" It might be the first time
I've hear him apologize for anything, and I've
no idea what it was for! (victory jingle) Yes, this was
clearly intentional. (laughs) (victory jingle) That bag looks heavy. Speaking of heavy, here
is something also heavy. It's very sadly not guaranteed. That's a Clobbopus! Is her signature
Pokémon Grapploct? Ah-huh, how fun. Whoa, whoa! That was lovely, I
thoroughly enjoyed that. Challenger. I'm Bea. Bay, I still don't know. Do you have an unshakable
spirit that won't be moved, no matter how you are attacked? I think I'll just test
that out, shall I? Okay. Maybe after we could
go grab some coffee, or something, you
know, if you're free. Oh, she's got four Pokémon. Oh, spicy! Oh, this is gonna be so cool! (zaps) (roars) Oh! (giggles) This is the greatest
Pokémon game every made! Hello! Suck it, Machamp! Hah! Now it's on your desk. (victory jingle) Why are you sad? You will when you
play through sword. I can now catch Pokémon up
to level 40, that's nice. Oh, my goodness. What? He has a Copperajah! Destroy it! Destroy it all! We're going to find
those Wishing Stars! Wow, wow, he's getting worse... Now he's just gone from being
a jerk to an actual vandal. Challenger Bede! Is he under arrest? I hope so. I wonder what you were up
to when you asked to borrow Chairman Rose's Copperjah... I can't believe you'd try to use the chariman's Pokémon to
destroy a historical site! You are clearly not
a worthy challenger for the Gym Challenge. We'll decide what to
do with you later. For now, you will
return to Hammerlocke. Oh my god, I already
made it through. What the heck? This town is amazing! Oh my god, this is so cool. (chirping) Oh, yes. Corviknight! (victory jingle) Beautiful. Corviknight is not fully
healed, so I need to do that. (victory jingle) All you need to do
is battle my Trainers and answer the question
they ask along the way. Think carefully before
answering, though, child. If you get the wrong answer the stats of your
Pokémon will get lowered. Oh, but if you answer correctly, your Pokémon will
get a stat boost. Just think of it as a
little Fairy-type Pokémon magic to make
things interesting. Now, I want you to go all out. Show me what you can do! What the hell? Oh, I'm a little nervous, guys. I'm not gonna lie. Little nervous. (crowd cheering) (fast fighting music) I can't poison you. Ew, god! (zaps) (chants) (bangs) (roars) (zaps) Wow, we have really tanked that. Oh, that's right, it heals. Oh boy. This gonna hurt,
little Creamy Puff. Impaled! I am out of eggs. Can I have Ultra Balls now? Hold on now. No? Are you here to berate me more? I've got a few errands
to run in Hammerlocke. Care to join me for the journey? You're headed for
the next Gym Stadium, you'll need to get to
Hammerlocke, too, after all. With pleasure! They say two's
company, after all. All right, we'll hang out
with the mean old lady. (yells) This town is lovely. (victory jingle) The Moon Ball. (uplifting music) That necklace is
incredibly tacky. Hey there. The name's Gordie. I admit I feel a little
bad for doing this to a Gym Challenger, but... I'm going to use
this match to show the crowd that my
Pokémon are unbeatable! So, let's get this
over with, Challenger! Sure, Gordie. (fast fighting music) Man, three gym battles
in this stream. He did a back flip. How'd that guy do a back flip? (chants) (bangs) (roars) (audience chanting) Oh, Gigantamax Coalossal! I think I've seen only like
a blurry picture of it. (rings) (bangs) Oh, that's so cool. (thunders) My, goodness. (roars) (bangs) All right, that was
only interesting there for a second but my
Rock-type won out. (victory jingle) Cool. Dos más. Up to Level 50, very nice. I can't enter Spikemuth, so I've just been hanging
around here this whole time... No one can challenge the
Dark-type Leader like this... What's with the gate being shut? How am I supposed to
get the Gym Badge now?! Hey, Micheal! I was born 'ere so I
know another way in. If you wanna get into the town, how 'bout I show you the way? But...you're my rival. So you'll have to beat me
in a battle first, got it? With pleasure! (rock music) You've had a pretty
good win streak in the Gym Challenge,
just like me! I respect you as my
rival and all that, but I got too much at stake
to go around losing now! All right. Do I know what Shiny
Grapploct looks like? I do and it's amazing. It is an excellent Shiny. My partner Morpeko
has been interested in you and your strength,
and I think I get it now. I've got everyone in
Spikemuth supportin' me! I'm definitely gonna
get all eight Gym Badges just so I can I have
a rematch with you. Don'cha forget it! I'll get my revenge
in the Champion Cup! Anyway, I promised
I'd show you a way in, so follow me! (crowd booing) Ooh, emo! He's got the same
necklace as Marnie does. Is he her older
brother or something? (rock music) Gym Leader Piers. (guitar music) Oh, he still took
that, no problem. All right, we got the Obstagoon. The Fairy-one... The Fighting-one,
and now this one? Corviknight is amazing
for this region. (victory jingle) One more. It's gonna be fun. (fast fighting music) Raihan is definitely
the coolest Gym Leader. (crowd cheering) Sand stream. I love Raihan, he's so cool. Whoa! The Sky Scraper. (thuds, bangs, echoes) What a noise! (bangs) (thunders) Huh-huh-huh-oh. G-Max Depletion! Is this Steel type
or is it Dragon type? Oh, that was Dragon type. Man, what an epic battle. I thoroughly enjoyed that. That was four on four battle that came down to
my last Pokémon. That was so cool. I love Grapploct so much. I might have lost,
but I still look good. I'll give you that Raihan,
you're one sexy dude. We're such good friends. We're finally headed for Wyndon. There's a lot I
want to do there. The big tower, and the
monorail, and Wyndon Stadium! Where the whole of Galar-no, the whole world is
gonna be watching us! Is it Wyndon and Wind-den? I know it's suppose
to be London. Whoa! It's huge. Big Ben! There's the stadium. Oh, I like the Corviknight
evolutionary line statute. All right! Wyndon City! This is the place where I
become a legend at last! You get it, don't ya mate? After all, I'm about to become the new Champion of
the Galar region! That's it! I'm headed
straight for Wyndon Stadium! Don't waste too
much time, Micheal. You should head there yourself. Semifinals will
be starting soon! Please head to the stadium
pitch when you are ready. Holy crap. Holy crap. I thought I was gonna
be world saving first. Wow guys, this is it. Let's hope this doesn't suck. Oh, we're fighting Marnie first! She's ideal because I
started with my Fairy type. Heh. I knew you'd get all
the badges and meet me here. Is this the best decision? Maybe not but it's the
most interesting one. (roars) (rock music) Oh! Oh, my god. That is absolutely horrific. (explosions) Ow! That's right! Fairy doesn't resist
Fairy, I completely forgot. I got to see a lot
of the good points of you and your Pokémon! Dope battle. It's time I finish what
was started that day... Got it? The one who'll
become Champion is me! Let's fight! (fast guitar music) (crowd cheering) Ah, he leads with a Dubwool! Cool. Release all the thoughts
poured into my Wishin Star... Time for a Dynamax! You're going to die, Hop. (laughs) (roaring) All right, we have clearly swept this battle with Warhead. (explosions) So should probably not use him too much. Michael! That was incredible. Brilliant. Honestly, there were even tears rolling down my face
before I knew it. To think that the two
of you set out together from the same town, built
up the greatest teams, and arrived here at this
point to throw everything you had at one another... Those moves filled with
undefeatable passion! It was battling at
its vert purest, in every possible way! Welcome to Chairman
Rose's exclusive space. Here, nearly a thousand
feet above the earth! So, you got through all
of that special staff that I had ordered to stop you. I would expect nothing
less of the Trainers handpicked by
Champion Leon himself. But I am afraid it is now
time for you to go home. Because... (fast rock music) I mean, I saw this coming
but still, the face. This is my last Pokémon? Seriously?! Oleana's
gotta finish this! (intense battle music) I've only seen pictures. Oh, my god. (thunders) It has an entire plane, or
those are toys it seems. But still. How much does this do? Little under half, okay. Here we go. The motors have gone down. It probably goes
without saying, but, hello, Galar! I'm
your Champion, Leon! The chairman is tied
up with some business, so I hope no one minds me
stepping in on his behalf in order to lead you
all to greater heights as Pokémon Trainer
of the Galar region! The time has come for
you to battle it out until only the greatest
challenger remains! So, on behalf of the
chairman, allow me to say... Let the Finals matches begin! Ah-hah! Who's that? Gym Leader Bede. Mawile, nuts, this isn't great. Corviknight is definitely
one of the best Pokémon for this play through. Just, hands down. Like, just the amount
of important battles (roars) its good for is extremely large. Oh, wow, I just
noticed that HP number. Remember, I said I
maxed the Dynamax level for like my Pokémon. For 4 of my six. Before, I maxed a
Grapploct, Corviknight... Oh. (roars) What is this suppose to be? It's just like a
lady wearing a hat. I don't understand this Pokémon. Oh, it survived! Damn. Uh-oh. (explosion) Wow, if I had not... Higher-roll? Okay, it was a higher-roll
it just didn't take. All right, it's over. The Gigantamax
Hatterene didn't go down as easily as I thought I would. I am afraid. I am afraid. An epic battle in the rain. (thunders) Cool. Flood the stadium and
make it our ocean! Dreadnaw time to Gigantamax! So I guess she just
ditched her other one. It's like the
other one was like, "Oh, you can't Gigantamax". You know I kept
my Drednaw when I got a Gigantamax
one, Nessa, okay? I clearly care about my
Pokémon more than you. (explosions) Boo-ya. I promise you, my attacks will shake
your very soul this time. May the best Trainer win. Question, will she have
Gigantamax Machump again, or are they ganna give her
something different? Hawlucha! This is terrifying. And it's over. Corviknight! Knows death. You're really
something else, kid. You made it all the way here! I guess that's why the Champion
himself endorsed you, yeah? Leon's my rival-and
he chose you. So I've got to first
prove I'm better than you if I'm to beat him! I've reworked my whole team, and now we're all geared up for- Okay, all right, cool. But if you think
I'm the same Raihan you faced during
the Gym Challenge, you'll soon regret it! (crowd cheering),
(battle music) Torkoal! What? (explosions) I love Grapploct using
max knuckle, how he's like (roars) And like energy surges and
then it comes from the sky. That's so cool. So cool. (roaring) The tense, still
air on the pitch... "Still air"!? Your cape and hair are
blowing like crazy. I'm the Galar region's
Champion, Leon! Me and Charizard, and
all the rest of our team, will use all our knowledge and experience to
crush you completely! Wait-hold on! Look at the monitor! Wait, what? Am I not fighting him yet? Hello there, Leon and Micheal! Just letting you know... I think it's time I brough
about the Darkest day. Excuse me? For the sake of Galar's
future, of course! But I'm in a bit of a pickle. The energy released
by the Darkest Day is too much for us to contain. I'm sorry it's come to this. But it's you who
forced my hand, Leon. You refused to listen! That video stream... That was from Hammerlocke
Stadium, right? What in the world
did the chairman do? (howling) They really are here... The sword and the shield
Pokémon! I knew it! (victory jingle) That settles it! I'm
taking the shield! Though...wow, would you look
at the state of this thing? It seems like it
might fall to pieces if you so much as
look at it funny. (sinister music) What do you plan on
doing, Gym Challenger? Stopping the Darkest Day. Uh, Pardon? What are
you talking about? There's nothing to stop now. We've already brought
about the Darkest Day... Or should I say, the
ultimate Pokémon-Eternatus! Must I explain myself? From your perspective,
I suppose it must seem that I am doing
something terrible. I don't expect
you to understand. I must provide the Galar region with limitless energy to
ensure everlasting prosperity. It's my purpose, my
duty, my destiny! That's why we've been giving
the Wishing Stars to Eternatus! Surely you remember
the red light that caused a ruckus
around Hammerlocke. That was all part of our
experiment to awaken Eternatus! You must understand. I can't let you
interfere with my plan to protect the future of Galar! Yup, though we were
gonna fight him. (choir singing) I picked a good lead. I'll show you a move
that'll hit so hard, you'll be speechless! Gigantamax. (roaring) Copperajah, so cool. I can't even see it's face. (explosion) Man that defense
stat is so high. Got 'em. (explosions) (thunderous roar) I'd forgotten how great
Pokémon battles are! It's been so long
since I battled... That sure was satisfying. In order to solve the energy
issue as soon as possible, we awakened Eternatus. But we couldn't control it. The Champion came to aid me, even at the cost of
abandoning the match. Indeed, just like a
knight in shining armor coming to rescue a
princess from a dragon! Oh, my god, it's horrifying. (fast-paced fighting music) (explosion) Uh-oh. (ominous, suspenseful music) (roaring) Why are we smiling? Micheal, use that sword! It might be old and rusted, but there's got to
be some use to it! I got it! (metal clinking) (ethereal music) (howling) (crashes) (guitar music) (howling) (explosions) (roaring) Oh, cool. Intrepid sword! Yup. Way to go, Warhead. That's my boy! (Poké Ball beeping) My matches are always
sold out, but this... I've never seen a
crowd this wild! Everyone knows what you did
for us this week, Micheal... They know you're the
one who caught Etarntus and save the future
of the Galar region. A real hero, who battled
alongside the Legendary Pokémon, Zacian and Zamazenta... I couldn't have dreamed
of a better challenger to help increase
my winning streak! Now that I've seen just
what kind of strength you possess as the
greatest of challengers... Crushing you into the
dirt will show everyone just how strong their
champion- excuse me- truly is! Come on, Micheal! Let's
make this a final match that'll go down in
Galar's history! No! A match that'll
change Galar forever! We're gonna have an
absolutely champion time! (crowd cheers) (battle music) Ha! A nice touch. He's level 62, that's great. That's kinda high. Are we in King Shield? Okay, well this
thing's dead now. A super effective hit... Id expect nothing
less from your team! I'll show you what
Charizard can really do! It's Gigantamax time! All right, if Warhead
goes down, I just bring in Drednaw and Max Rockfall
and kill this thing. (roars echoing) Level 65. I feel like you probably
should've gone for a move that would not be resisted. What are you doing? Why didn't you go for like... Do you not have like
Dragon Fall or something? And my increased Dynamax Level. I'm really glad I did that. I would have been in a lot
more trouble if I hadn't done that, in multiple battles today. All right. Congratulations, Micheal! You've beat even the
unbeatable Champion- Making you the new
Champion of the region! You've become a first-rate
Trainer, all right. I offer you my heartfelt
congratulations! I'm amazing! Now that you've grown so strong, perhaps it's time I started
looking ahead myself. It's time we adults started
workin on improvng here an ow, for the sake of
all that's to come! Dude, your head is huge. And you, Micheal. What you ought to do now
is believe in yourself and your partner Pokémon, and keep on blasting ahead! In order to create that bright
future we all hope to see! People of Galar! A new legend born
right before your eyes! Your champion, Micheal! That's me! I did it. (fireworks exploding) Incredible. Bet you can't wait to
see what kind of future a kid with this kind of
strength might bring about! I sure can't! Let's watch and
see what he can do! (crowd cheering) Sweet. (soft music) The credits, oh, that's cool. What a little fun, fun little shot. A little band.
