Anything that appears does not belong to me...
(.......)
Ash Ketchum's victory over Cynthia had a lot to talk about... But unfortunately they didn't have time when the screens started broadcasting something different.
Music began to play on the screen, the same melody that played when Gigantamax and Dynamax were used in the battles you've already seen.
When the screen then began to take color, it was like this...
Appearing one of the world's greatest figures, the Strongest Champion...
Lionel, the Galarian Champion and reigning Pokémon World Champion .
The famous trainer appeared in an image, holding the Gigantamax Dinamax Pokeball in his hands as if he were controlling it.
Everyone looked interested and excited to see the number 1 Master Class Champion in front of them, in such a fabulous pose.
Would it be some kind of presentation before the World Cup final?
That was the doubt of those who started to think...
At the beginning of her journey, she headed to Professor Magnolia's laboratory, meeting her future friend and mentor, Sonia. The Professor's granddaughter .
Lionel and Sonia appeared in a Pokémon battle, this time as children.
Then they knew they would tell Lionel's story, all because of what the screen and that robotic voice were telling them.
Something excited many and interested others... The story of Master Class Number 1 was something they were going to enjoy.
Meanwhile...
Sonia looked at what they were showing with a smile, watching with great joy the Pokémon battle between the two of them.
With all the nostalgia in the world, she began to remember that first meeting they had.
—We've grown and matured. Haven't we?
...
The man featured in this chapter was also in a similar situation to his friend.
Ever since they first appeared as a couple, Lionel became very interested in knowing how love could have been born between them...
Still, the Champion enjoyed what they were showing... Although he was also curious.
Continuing his journey as a trainer, traveling all over Galar. Catching Pokémon that would help him achieve his greatest achievement. Cleverly training them to make them even more powerful.
This time, Lionel was shown still in his 10s catching a Dreepy with great skill.
And then watch it evolve into a powerful Dragapult.
The young trainers were quite impressed by how the Champion caught that Pokémon and made it so powerful that it ended up evolving just a short time after catching it.
Paul looked impressed by what he saw, Reggie couldn't help but look surprised either.
—What a drastic power, to evolve a Pokémon in such a short time—Paul said, opening his mouth slightly.
"I have enough information and I've seen the same phenomenon, that they evolve so quickly, but I've only done it with semi-legendary Pokémon. One of them could be Goodra," Reggie said, rubbing his chin.
Paul looked at his brother carefully. Could that be true?
...
Lionel held up a Pokeball, looking at it with a big smile that held a lot of feeling.
You didn't have to be a detective to know that the Pokémon inside was the Dragapult shown on the screen.
—It's like going back in time, it's great.
Charizard also looked a little distressed at the time when he was a tiny Charmander, it also made him think about the rigorous journey with his trainer.
Challenging Gyms and challenging them to the extreme, he easily overcame them. This earned him great fame after only a short period of growth.
Lionel faced the Gyms and various small competitions, winning with great power in his hands.
Little by little, the skill shown at such a young age barely in his Pokémon adventure.
He began to attract a lot of attention. The Galarians were happy and excited to see the enormous power of their Champion, while foreigners and visitors began to admire the man.
Finally... Everyone could already be realizing the Champion's power, the overwhelming victory over Diantha had been something to give him back.
But seeing him represent so much power from the age of 10, was something that magnificently no one expected to see.
They could understand, Lionel was born and raised with great talent.
That great fame was enough to attract the attention of one of the most famous people in the region at the time: the president of the Galar Pokémon League and president of Macro Cosmos, Rose... He took the boy under his wing.
Rose and Lionel appeared on the screen, having a friendly conversation.
Rose... That man smiled a little maliciously as he stood alone, looking with great interest at the small video broadcast where he appeared with Lionel.
Although people had had an opinion about him, the truth was that this man was hiding something that no one thought about.
Still, the man took a moment to remember what had happened and why he chose the currently undefeated Champion early on.
Lionel was improving more and more during his stay with Rose, reaching impressive levels in his strength and power .
Lionel appeared in Rose's private battlefield, now training hard with a powerful Charizard.
What was shown had been enough for the young trainers, especially those from Galar, as they were closer to the man who appeared in the battles.
Rose's guidance seemed to have been very effective for the Strongest Champion, which greatly interested the rookie trainers.
If they were in counseling with Rose, would they become as strong as Lionel?
That ended up exciting them.
And Rose just kept her little smile. Unfazed.
But deep inside, he was deeply concerned that his true goals and plans would be revealed.
Starting off with a high rivalry with the current Dragon-type Gym leader, Roy .
Lionel and Roy appeared shaking hands.
A big smile appeared on the face of Roy, the aforementioned Gym Leader.
Seeing that scene had been great, making him remember that moment and their first Pokémon battle between them.
—How time has passed since then, hasn't it?
...
Lance looked interested at the man Roy on the screens.
I had never heard of a Dragon-type Gym, and knowing that there was a leader in Galar who shared a rivalry with Lionel.
It made him a little excited, wanting to at least meet him and see if they could have a little Pokémon battle.
The two-time champion's smile was enough for everyone else in the High Command room to know what the next thing on the Dragon trainer's to-do list would be.
Taking his place as Galar Champion at age 10, on his first attempt. He achieved a historic feat largely impossible for trainers around the world. He also earned the title of Galarian Monarch .
Now, Lionel was shown performing the Charizard Pose in the League stadium.
Cries of support for the Champion from all over Galar soon appeared, excited and happy to see him succeed in such a great way for a Pokémon trainer.
Lionel's name was shouted at the same time, without any mistake as if the Galarians knew how to connect in such an extraordinary way.
He himself couldn't help but make the same pose, causing his partner Charizard to rise into the sky and begin to fly around while letting out roars of exclamation.
Meanwhile...
No one could believe what they were seeing.
Everyone was quite astonished to learn that Lionel had won the Galar League just at the beginning of his 10th birthday, a feat that would undoubtedly go down in the history of the Region.
Possibly at the World level now that everyone was paying attention to Lionel's journey since he was a rookie coach.
This only increased admiration and interest in the Unbeatable Champion.
Seeking greater challenges, he traveled to the Isle of Armor, becoming the dojo's first student after defeating the 3 Slowpoke. He went on to become the top student of Mustard, the former and equally undefeated Galarian Champion .
Lionel and Charizard were shown again defeating the 3 Slowpoke with ease.
While appearing at another time with Mustard.
Mustard was already laughing at seeing that, already imagining what would follow next.
Since he was his best student, Lionel had always had a terrible sense of direction...
Meaning many ridiculous and outrageous things for the great reputation of the Unbeatable Champion, who had already prepared himself to suffer in the following things.
Lionel was never able to finish his training, as he always got lost in search of the Tower of Fists .
Lionel appeared on screen, holding a question mark as he walked.
This time, one of the Champion's first mistakes.
It was something that surprised many people, unable to believe that the Champion had failed to follow a path to find a Tower... It seemed that reputation and achievements were already starting to affect them.
While those who knew the big star of the day couldn't help but laugh at what was said and shown on screen, which was detrimental to the Champion.
Lionel just felt embarrassed, trying to avoid the screen to make that emotion go away.
However, thanks to his constant victories over time, he ended up gaining a well-deserved reputation, Unbeatable Champion .
Newspapers and news articles appeared on the air, with that headline on those media outlets.
While in the background, there were battles between Lionel and trainers fighting... The trainers were the ones getting beaten up.
The admiration and interest had suddenly returned when looking at everything that was represented on the screen.
Unbeatable Champion...
The nickname that had gone around the world from the beginning, right when the Master Class was introduced at the start of the Pokémon World Championships.
Seeing the origin of that nickname was really great for the Veterans and Rookies who were still watching the screen with rapt attention.
A great title that Lionel has defended with great effort until today, never showing inferiority to his opponents for too long, even if the Champion was outnumbered.
Lionel fought against different trainers alongside his Charizard, in battles where the Unbeatable Champion was only willing to use his best partner against trainers who used up to 3 or 4 Pokémon.
As more battles were shown to the public, everyone could see the physical and mental growth of the Strongest Champion.
Indicating much more than victories and big titles for the cap-collecting kid.
Lionel was growing up with all the greatness in the world, in a place so little known but with such great power that it was even frightening.
Continue to develop your achievements and triumphs to the rest of the world, until you achieve the title of World Champion... Winning countless times at the Pokémon World Championships.
A tournament where only the 8 trainers in the world competed, the Master Class.
The winning streak brought many things to Lionel, good and bad .
The World Champion's victories continued to show.
That's when everyone paid attention and said what they would say.
Since not even the people close to the Unbeatable Champion knew what those bad things could be about his battles won without stopping.
As well as bringing concerns to their loved ones.
The good side was the motivation of the young coaches to improve more and more .
Lionel and Rookie Coaches appeared on the screens, where the World Champion gave them advice.
That was a great pleasure for the Veterans to see such a great figure in that form... It was also something that made many people happy to know that despite his great power, he still behaved like a kind person.
The coaches had to agree, knowing that Lionel was one of their biggest motivations to continue advancing in their coaching careers.
Knowing that and more, his idol in many ways.
The bad side was knowing that no one in the world could face him as an equal anymore, being able to give him the privilege of being in a Pokémon battle equal in constant statistics and making him panic about an upcoming defeat, this happening when no one could defeat more than two of his Pokémon anymore .
Now, Lionel appeared sad and in constant reflection after his battles.
The Champion's thoughts were too much to handle, knowing that no one could match him in the world... It surprised even the greats.
Although the biggest news was finding out that no one could defeat more than two of their teammates.
Then they had to remember the first Semifinal... Where Diantha the Kalos Champion was only able to defeat two of Lionel's 6 Pokémon.
Did that mean it was a common thing Lionel?
Defeat your opponents with just the loss of two Pokémon?
Win in a landslide against whoever the opponent is?
This was a huge shock for everyone, knowing that the Champion's strength and power went beyond what they had imagined.
It was then that they began to question the Alola Champion's chances of facing him in the finals.
Obviously, forgetting about her victory over Cynthia, who was the second strongest trainer in the world.
Was it? Simply because Ash surpassed her, and that indicated her well-deserved second place in the Future Master Class so far.
