The Decisive Battle Begins

Chairman Rose and Team Rocket's boss?!

Yes. Team Rocket has been using their usual method to achieve their goals.

They agitate others, then commit crimes behind their backs.

Are you saying they're just using Chairman Rose to get what they want?!

I'm afraid so.

There's no way Giovanni has any interest in "the future a millennium from now" that Mr. Rose has been lamenting.

Then we need to hurry and tell Chairman Rose about this!

If he finds out he's been working with Team Rocket, then maybe...

No. I don't think that'll work.

Chairman Rose said...

"If it's for the sake of a prosperous future, I don't care who I work with."

So...

You're right...

Now that Chairman Rose has made up his mind, it's unlikely he'd stop even if we told him who he's working with.

Just like the time when...

he forcibly carried out his plan even knowing the dangers of Eternatus.

... ... ...

That's why we must fundamentally change Chairman Rose's way of thinking in our upcoming battle.

So let's face him head on with our strength and our feelings!

Yeah!

On the day of the tournament...

Thank you, everyone, for gathering today!

The upcoming match will be a group battle!

Each side will have nine Trainers, and they'll go head-to-head using Pasio's three-on-three team battle format.

The team with the most wins overall will be the victor!

We're gonna make this tournament epic! I hope you all enjoy!

This is a chance for Marnie to shine. I'm countin' on you all.

I can already hear Marnie's victory comin'! The only sound you'll hear is the crowd's cheer!

We'll cheer for our Marnie till we lose our voices!

Which side do you think will win?

I'm thinking Lear's supporters! After all, they've got Leon on their side!

But we can't underestimate Rose's supporters either.

I'm sure Mr. Rose has a secret strategy planned!

To the public, today's match was announced as just another tournament, but...

It sure doesn't seem that way.

Yeah. People are seeing this as settling the score between two factions, Lear's supporters and Rose's.

Normally, there'd be no chance to win in a Pokémon battle against Leon.

Makes me wonder why Chairman Rose is looking so confident.

All right, the first battle's about to begin! I'm counting on you all!

Yeah!

Right!

Leave it to us!

The time has come! For the first face-off, we've got the young rookie team from Galar...

Versus...

The strong, the beautiful, the cool...Team Galactic!

Huh?!
