"Leon must have had a sleepless night,"
Qibana actually understood Leon quite well. As the Champion of the Galar League, Leon shouldered many responsibilities, and now, even more so as he was on his home turf. Having maintained a 100% win rate in public competitions, Leon definitely didn't want to lose no matter what.
But this time, his opponent was unimaginably strong.
"That Eevee is indeed exaggerated..."
The other Gym Leaders of Galar also waited in silence; their goal was mainly to become the Champion of Galar, to surpass Leon. Therefore, they paid extra attention to this battle of Leon's.
"Sigh..." Colored Bean grasped one arm with her other hand. Although she didn't show any emotion, she couldn't help but recall the previous battle where Mr. Leon was defeated by Fang Yuan.
In fact... It wasn't only Mewtwo, Darkrai, and Eevee, but Mr. Fang Yuan was stronger than anyone could imagine. He still had many unrevealed trump cards.
The presidential platform.
Damaelan and President Loz, one representing the League Headquarters and the other the Galar League Chairman, had also arrived early today. Damaelan was already laid-back; the Tablet, one of the Champion's prizes, had already been given away, and he was purely there for the excitement now.
President Loz, too, had his own troubles that he couldn't voice. Once the runner-up of the league, he was a quasi-champion level Trainer, with strength not inferior to that of a Union King. Naturally, he could tell that it would be very difficult for Leon to win. Even without the presence of Mewtwo by his side, facing that Eevee would still be difficult.
The elimination match of 1VS1, held in Galar with Gigantamax introduced to the battle, all of these favorable conditions were secured by the Galar League for their local Trainers, with the goal of creating the strongest Champion. But... in front of absolute strength, they were useless.
President Loz stealthily glanced at Mewtwo sitting next to him. After a sigh, he revealed a kind smile, while Mewtwo also glanced at the Chairman of the Galar League. Mewtwo always felt that the other's look was somewhat ambiguous...
This guy... doesn't seem like a good person.
Mewtwo was certain of it.
"Old Man Ma, what's your take on the upcoming battle?" Adick ribbed Master Ma next to him.
"Just sit and watch," Master Ma replied, leaning back in his chair with his eyes narrowed. He was also pondering to himself—Leon, my boy, is going to have a tough time this round, for that Eevee, in his opinion, too, was absolutely a monster.
To exert Legendary combat power without any Mega Evolution, Z-Move, or Gigantamax—this was simply outrageous.
Could Fang Yuan be the first Trainer in a hundred years to raise a Pokémon to Legendary level?
The situation now was that, despite the battle being Eevee VS Super Gigantamax Charizard, which by name alone seemed to favor the latter, after yesterday's match, everyone's view of strength had been refreshed. Eevee being stronger than other Pokémon seemed perfectly normal, didn't it?
Thump!!
While the audience was abuzz with conversation, suddenly, the lights of the Palace Arena dimmed, and a loud voice echoed through the space.
"Ladies and gentlemen!! The moment has finally arrived!!"
"The greatest, grandest Pokémon battle celebration in the world is about to begin!!"
"Now then, let the finalists enter the arena!! First up, we have the contestant Leon!!"
As the voice rang out, the lights came back on, and the Referee and Commentator, riding an Aegislash, flew out, shouting fervently.
Amid his booming voice, Leon, dressed in his Battle Tower Suit, emerged solemnly.
"Contestant Leon is a super Trainer born and bred in the Galar Region. Since his debut, he has never tasted defeat, declaring with conviction that 'as Champion, he will accept any challenge!' Afterward, he defeated a hundred powerful Trainers from around the world who responded to this declaration, earning the title of King among kings!!!"
"And this time, his opponent, who has also never lost since joining the Pokémon World Championship, maintaining a 100% win rate, traveling through various regions, vanquishing evil and quelling disasters, is even hailed as a legendary Trainer—contender Fang Yuan!!!"
"Which of them will emerge as the ultimate victor in this battle to determine the strongest Champion in the world?! Stay tuned to witness!!!"
Under the Referee's impassioned voice, on the other side, a young man in a red and white battle suit, with a matching cap, slowly walked out, an Eevee perched on his shoulder.
Although both were wearing red and white battle suits, Fang Yuan had actually created many different styles suitable for spring, summer, autumn, winter, and various occasions. The one he was wearing now was the same as the one he wore in the Future Space-time battle against Mewtwo.
This battle would determine who was the strongest Trainer in the Pokémon world.
Following the Future Space-time, this stage would become where Fang Yuan would once again dominate a world and become the strongest.
After stepping onto the field, Leon gazed at Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan looked back at Leon.
"All right, both contestant Leon and Fang Yuan are now in position on the battlefield. I now declare the Pokémon World Championship final battle... officially begun!!!"
As the Referee's words fell, the venue erupted in excitement, with nonstop cheering and shouting.
"It's finally starting." In the crowd, Xiaozhi could barely contain himself, bursting with excitement as he spoke.
Elsewhere in the stands, Trainers also focused their attention, watching the two contenders intently without turning away.
