"Here at the World Coronation Series the strongest trainer is going to be found! And today's match is in a heated standoff!"
Steven Stone: "Leon! This match has been fun, but it's time to end it here. Mega Metagross use Steel Beam."
(Leon smiles, the thrill of the crowd and battle, both waiting for him to respond)
Leon: "Yes, it is over, for you. I've still got six Pokemon, you have one. Now Charizard Fire Punch!"
(Charizard over powers the Steel Beam with ease and KOs Mega Metagross in one hit.)
Dan: "Metagross is unable to battle! The winner is Charizard and thus the winner of this match is the still undefeated Leon!"
(The crowd goes Wild.)
Leon: "Thanks for the match, it was enjoyable even if I swept your whole team with Charizard, I couldn't have expected a Shiny let alone a Mega."
Steven Stone: "Aw, Thanks Leon. Don't worry, I'm still after your title, I will be stronger next time."
Leon: "I look forward to it, Steven."
(Both competitors shake hands, then Rotom Drone updates everyone)
Rotom Drone: "As a result of today's battle there has been a change in the World Coronation Series effective immediately."
(Steven's rank drops to three.)
Announcer: "Ladies and Gentlemen, Steven is now rank 3 and with that Cynthia is now rank 2! This is the result many were hoping for."
- out in the wilderness Cynthia is training with Garchomp -
Cynthia: "Let's do it! Show me a Stealth Rock!"
(As Cynthia is training her Rotom Phone chimes.)
Cynthia: "Garchomp! Hold, we have a update."
Rotom Phone: "You are now rank 2 in the master class, the second strongest trainer in the world, as a result of Steven Stone, going down in rank after facing Leon, congratulations."
Cynthia: "You hear that Garchomp? We are the second strongest Trainer and Pokemon duo in the world! Oh here's a idea, how about we go claim our rightful place as number 1?!"
Garchomp: "GarChomP! GARchomp!"
(Cynthia giggles)
Cynthia: "Just what I Thought."
(Cynthia calls Leon)
Leon: "Hey Cynthia? What could the Sinnoh Champion possibly want with me?"
Cynthia: "So Leon? Don't get too comfy as the World Champion, because me and Garchomp are about to take it from you."
Leon: "So, you think you can beat me? And you want a battle? Fine, we just wrapped up with Steven but me and my team could use some more, fun. I'll see you at Wyndon Stadium in a few hours."
Cynthia: "You're on Leon. Get ready, because I won't hold anything back."
Leon: "Neither will I. I never hold back."
Cynthia: "Good to hear."
(With that Cynthia hangs up her Rotom Phone, returns Garchomp to her Pokeball, and she gets on a plane to Galar)
- Meanwhile at Wyndon Stadium -
Announcer: "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a surprise annoucement! It seems another World Coronation Series Battle, is going to take place today! It seems presently ranked 2 Cynthia, has decide to challenge Leon with her newfound confidence as 2nd strongest, but will her confidence be enough to shake the mighty Leon? Found out in about four hours time!"
(The crowd murmers they did not expect a second battle to take place.)
- four hours later the crowd at Wyndom Stadium is packed to the brim -
Cynthia: "Alright, now's my chance for glory, I haven't felt this excited about a battle in a long time."
(Outside the waiting area.)
Announcer: "Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to today's second battle."
(Everyone cheers)
Annoucer: "The World Coronation Series, presently determining the World's Strongest Trainer! Has already had a battle for the title today, ending in a loss for our challenger, today's second battle is also in the Master Class, the highest tier of competition, Now let's Introduce our competitors!"
(Cynthia stands up and walks towards the doors)
Announer: "First up, ranked #2 in the Master Class, it's the queen of sinnoh Cynthia! Ever since she joined the World Coronation Series, she quickly ascended to Master Class, then in the Master Class she battle for bigger and better ranks, until she was #3 then as a result of today's other battle she was moved up to her present rank. Now for her opponent."
(Cynthia stops at the marked place, and Leon walks into the spotlight)
Annoucer: "Why it's presently Ranked #1 Galar Champion and World Champion Leon!"
(The crowd that went insane over Cynthia, goes ultra crazy over Leon)
Cynthia: 'He's more popular then me. Let's fix that."
Annoucer: "Leon is so strong all his Pokemon could individually be a Ace of a Champion, that is what makes him such a deadly opponent, not to mention he Learns something from every battle he sees or takes part in. He is also undefeated in battle his Charizard never loseing a battle! This is one powerful opponent, how will Cynthia respond? And will she be the one to put a end to his winning streak?"
(Leon takes his place and he throws off his cape smiling.)
Leon: "Sinnoh Champion! I was hoping to get a chance to Battle you, it's time to put you in your place."
Cynthia: "Leon, I couldn't agree more, it's time for me to prove once and for all I'm the best!"
Leon: "I hope you will enjoy this battle, because it's going to end in your defeat. I will not only win but entertainment and excite the crowd!"
Cynthia: "If you're so confident, let's get on with it."
Leon: "Agreed, now I get to show my strength against the trainer who many have considered the best for years!"
Announcer: "Cynthia and Leon sure are fired up! One more thing, Ever since Leon joined the World coronation Series, he has dominated every battle!"
(Dan flys down to the field)
Dan: "Today's battle will be three on three, with only one of Dynamax, Z Moves, or Mega Evolution allowed. In addition there is no time limit or switching limit, finally as per the request of both contestants, no ranks will change if Cynthia loses. Now the winner is whoever can faint all three of his or her opponents Pokemon first. Send out your Pokemon!"
Leon: 'alright let's scare away her Gastrodon.'
Cynthia/Leon: "From out of the deep blue seas, Go Gastrodon!/Go Rillaboom!"
Dan: "Battles Begin!"
Commentator: "Leon has the advantage off the press, how will this play out?"
Cynthia: 'He's putting me into a tight corner instantly, two can play at that game.'
Cynthia: "Gastrodon return! Let your wings of grace flutter, Go Togekiss!"
Leon: "Thanks Rillaboom you did your job. Return, Go Inteleon."
Commentator: "And they both switch right off the bat, what a start to this great battle. Cynthia's second Pokemon is Togekiss, while Leon's is Inteleon, how will this affect the battle?"
Leon: "Alright Cynthia, I've seen how you battle, let's shut down your strategy. Now use Mud Shot!"
Inteleon: "In Tel, Intel! Inteleon!"
(Togekiss dodges the attack, but it was meant to, as the mud shot hits the Pokeball. Leon smirks, too easy.)
Cynthia: "Ha you missed! Togekiss is too fast for you."
Leon: "Check again, I wasn't aiming for Togekiss. I was aiming for its Pokeball."
(Cynthia Blinks and checks Togekiss's Pokeball to find it is infact covered in mud.)
Commentator: "INCREDIBLE! Leon has used a very creative strategy to shut down Cynthia's strategy!"
Cynthia: "Very Clever Leon. Using the mud to prevent me from switching, WON'T SAVE YOU. Use Air Slash!"
Leon: "Meet It!"
(Togekiss fires off Air Slash after Air Slash, while Inteleon either dodges or uses a Snipe Shot to meet the move.)
Leon: "It's Showtime!"
Commentator: "Leon is Switching again? Wait that's no switch! That's a Gigantamax!"
Leon: "Surprised? Good, let's win this! Gigantamax!"
(G Max Inteleon is huge and Looks down at Togekiss, Cynthia for the first time in a long time feels the pressure of a threat.)
Togekiss: "Toogggee. Kiss!"
Inteleon: "Inteleon!"
Cynthia: "Err, he had this battle planned out from the start. Air Slash Again! Make it Flinch!"
(Leon grins, before looking at Inteleon and nodding.)
Leon: "Try all you want, you can't flinch a Gigantamax Pokemon, Cynthia I have you all figured out! Now Let's entertain the crowd."
Cynthia: "What! No stay focused, fine, if I can't flinch you I'll just dodge the move and wait for the timer to run out."
Leon: "Oh Cynthia, do you know nothing about Dynamax? There is no timer, Dynamax can only end when something forces out of the state or if three moves are used. Finish This!"
Commentator: "for those who don't know, Leon is correct, unlike Mega Evolution, Gigantamax won't last untill the battle ends, but only for three moves, or something else can force it out."
(At Leon's Finish this Inteleon launches a G Max Hydrosnipe at Togekiss, who fails to dodge, causing it to Faint.)
Dan: "Togekiss is unable to battle! Inteleon wins!"
Commentator: "And Leon Scores the first Victory of today's match!"
(The crowd cheers at a move they've never seen before.)
Cynthia: "Now return to the field in a sea of fury, Go Gastrodon!"
Commentator: "And Gastrodon returns to the field."
Leon: "You think that will save you?"
(Inteleon waits for the stone edge and knocks it back with its tail, then it uses Max Overgrowth and stops Gastrodon before it can even Start.)
Commentator: "And Leon is playing the aggressive! He used the powerful tail to send the rocks back at Gastrodon, then using the Grass Type Max Move, finished it off before it had a chance to mess with his team! Truly high competitive battleing here folks."
Cynthia: 'Leon has me backed into a corner, he has beat my two with just one of his. I need to stay focused on the win.'
Cynthia: "This is it my last chance. Now Garchomp! Show everyone why you are the final boss of Sinnoh!"
Garchomp: "Gar, Gar, Chomp! Garchomp!"
Leon: "Enough showmanship, this is where the real battle begins. Inteleon return."
Commentator: "And Cynthia's last Pokemon is her Ace, Garchomp, whose every battle was carved into legend! And what will Leon chose?"
Leon: "Ace vs Ace! Charizard let's have a Champion Time!"
Charizard: (growls)
Commentator: "And there it is! Leon famous undefeated Charizard. As expected for the Galar Champion!"
Cynthia/Leon: "Win this in one shot! Use Dragon Claw!"
(Garchomp and Charizard both use Dragon Claw, both rush in and clash head on, then very quickly Garchomp is overwhelmed and gets a direct hit, making her faint.)
Cynthia: "It's over." 'Alongside the Mega Evolution I was already planning to get, I need to get me one of those Dynamax Bands'
Dan: "Garchomp is unable to battle! Charizard and Leon are the winners!"
Commentator: "Amazing! For the first time in over 20 years Cynthia's Garchomp has finally been taken down once more!"
(Cynthia and Leon walk to the centre of the battlefield. Cynthia laughs.)
Cynthia: "That was a hard won battle, you had us in your wings the whole game, and I haven't felt this kind of pressure since before I became Champion."
(Now it's Leon's turn to laugh.)
Leon: "Thanks! I had fun, and I enjoyed our match, and now I've proven I'm stronger then the Sinnoh Champion, I can truly say I'm the Strongest Trainer, and no-one can doubt that anymore."
(Cynthia smiles.)
Cynthia: "Agreed."
(Cynthia and Leon shake hands, then Cynthia raises Leon's hand.)
Cynthia: "Since Leon is stronger than me, I declare he is stronger then me, and I order all my fans to know it as well."
(Leon waves to the crowd as Charizard flys around.)
Rotom Drone: "As a result of today's battle, there will be no Change in the World Coronation Series Rankings."
Anncouner: "What a spectacular battle we had today from these top tier competitive trainers! And that concludes today's Master Class battles! See you next time, Ladies and Gentlemen."
(The crowd cheers.)
- Meanwhile with Ash -
Ash: "So, Leon is stronger than even Cynthia huh? This just makes me more excited to battle him!"
