Unbeatable Champion vs. Living Legend

Ladies and gentlemen!

I am Rose, chairman of the Galar region's Pokémon League!

I'm sure you've all been waiting for today's match!

Leon, the strongest Champion ever to grace the Galar region...

will be battling the living legend of Kanto, Red, in the showdown of the century!

These sync pairs are the best of the best, and both boast a strong bond with their Charizard!

A match between these two pairs will surely be etched into Pasio's history!

Red... The spectators weren't the only ones waiting for this moment.

Charizard and I were, too!

I've always hoped to battle you and see who comes out on top!

... ... ...

Both competitors are calmly staring each other down.

Let the battle begin!

You're much stronger than I thought! No easy opponent, that's for sure...

But...that's why we want to beat you and your Charizard!

... ... ...

What an outstanding battle! And they're evenly matched!

(At this rate, we'll just slowly tire each other out.)

(I'd rather not let this drag on any longer and risk a tie!)

Time to take this straight to the finale! Charizard!

Let's do this! Gigantamax!

The Gigantamax Charizard has unleashed a scorching attack!

Was it enough to decide the match?!

Wha, ?!

... ... ...

That wasn't enough to take them out?

... ... ...!

Can you believe it, folks?!

Leon has fallen just one step short of victory!

And the winner is...Red!

What a champion time it's been! Thank you for the greatest battle I've ever had!

Red! Charizard!

You're a first-rate sync pair, all right. I offer you my heartfelt congratulations!

After the match, in the waiting area...

My, my! I do believe that was one of the most exciting battles we've had yet!

It was an unfortunate result for you, but I'm sure that next time...

... ... ...

...Of course.

I'll leave it to you, then, as the Champion's partner.

... ... ...

Sorry, Charizard.
