Anything that appears does not belong to me...
(.......)
The Shūto Stadium reappeared, everything was ready.
— Pokémon World Championships Masters Tournament . Today is finally the finals .
On the screen, small images of the different Masters appeared in order, from Ash to Lionel.
— This year's Eight Masters were the most luxurious in history, with a group of Champions from several Regions .
With the images surrounding the Tournament symbol, Ash and Lionel being the ones that were more illuminated than the other images.
—The two finalists, who have defeated the strongest in the world, will soon face off on this battlefield! To become the Trainer at the top of Pokémon Battles!
The Pokémon World Championships were returning.
With that, the excitement and enthusiasm of all the spectators as well.
Enjoying this particular start, with everything being prepared for the finals of that year.
After several battles, starting with the quarterfinals... There were 8 participants who were eliminated so far.
The complete finalists.
Galar vs Alola.
The Unbeatable Champion vs. the Rookie Who Overcame Everything.
Everyone already had their sides.
Lionel was obviously the one with the most fans and interest, this increasing after his career was shown to him.
Still, Ash still had his occasional fan club, including most of the world's veterans with high expectations.
This is due to his way of fighting, and the way he saved his fights against Cynthia along with Steven's.
A Piplup in a cheerleading outfit came out into the stands, cheering with great excitement.
Chloe Cerise sitting, holding an Eevee in her arms.
—Piplup is so cute!
The appearance of Piplup and his way of dressing filled with tenderness the people who appreciated the moment.
Besides...
Chole and her loved ones were surprised to see her there, in a Pokémon battle stadium.
Especially if it was the final of the Masters Tournament, making her miss it.
What was he doing there?
—Isn't that right?
Dawn, May, Serena, Lillie and Lana came from the same side... Wearing a cheerleader outfit similar to Piplup's.
They certainly seemed nervous, trying to remain normal.
—Do you want to try it with Eevee?
This time, Eevee appeared with a Pompom on its tail.
—How pretty!
Chloe hugs Eevee tenderly.
Lana rubbed her arm, clearly nervous.
—I hope your idea was good, Dawn.
Dawn simply smiled without letting herself be carried away by nerves like the other girls.
Lillie spread her skirt, May and Serena were as if nothing had happened.
—You'll see that Ash will be happy with us for this.
The appearance of the girls who dated Ash in the images, wearing cheerleading outfits would be something the world would hardly forget.
People thus began to envy the First Champion of Alola for having different partners, and for them to simply act normally despite knowing it.
Ash refused to look at the screen when this was shown, turning his back on it and his friends. Including Pikachu, who couldn't believe it.
Brock and Misty stood agape, staring in disbelief at the way Ash's "harem" came out to support him.
—This can't get any worse...
The boy whispered with a little fear, knowing that Cynthia was dating him and accepting it over time was something...
But seeing that he was going to have several girls who weren't opposed to the idea of sharing him all at once, knowing that he was going to have a harem...
It made him very scared knowing the big problems that were surely going to bring him.
...
Mallow, Kiawe, and Sophocles gaped at what was happening, completely frozen in place from seeing the "more nervous" girls in the group like that.
-This...
—You can't...
-Be...
Lillie and Lana didn't even look at each other, with a huge blush on their faces... Even steaming from their ears.
Did they really consist of a relationship with Ash?
Why would they do that knowing that he was already dating other people?
They didn't feel hatred, they didn't feel annoyance, nor anything similar.
They were just confused, though they couldn't help being embarrassed.
Because in some way or another, Ash's personality and way of being had generated attraction between them.
...
Lusamine looked with a frown as her son appeared on the screen.
At first, she was surprised that her daughter would make the trip to Galar to support her partner, even though it was something she had expected.
Second, she couldn't find an opinion on whether or not she was angry about seeing her in that short cheerleader outfit that was going to be quite right.
And third, knowing that she would be dating a guy who accepted several.
While the boy was a good person, he didn't like the way his daughter had walked into the stands.
That goes without saying.
Professor Burnet remained silent, Wicke looked somewhat nervously at her boss.
...
Gladio was angry and jealous of his brother, seeing his sister like that because of a crush was something that made him angry.
So without slowing down, he prepared as quickly as possible his trip to Melemele Island to have a strict conversation with Lillie.
He wouldn't pick a fight with Ash or anything like that, but that would depend on the answer his sister would give him.
If she said yes, then I would accept and go back to the things I was doing.
If she said no, then he'd find a way to get Ash away from his sister for her own good. Hitting or not, he'd do it.
...
Lana's mother couldn't help but place her hand over her mouth, ending up laughing in such a casual way.
She would accept her daughter wearing that kind of clothing, and support her partner in such an unconditional way.
What amused her was the way he acted at that point.
She had always refused to wear that, whenever she tried to give her a cheerleader outfit anyway.
So this, in a way, was comedy for women.
...
Serena was stunned, a blush appearing and growing on her face at what she was seeing.
She was more focused on the fact that her crush on Ash would work... That's why a great joy came over her.
Grace looked seriously at the suit her daughter would wear in the future.
She would not go against her daughter's crushes, as she was well aware of the strong feelings she had for that young man.
Still, seeing his daughter's clothes like that... He hadn't liked it at all.
...
Dawn stood still, staring in disbelief at the screen... Obviously with the characteristic blush on her face, which grew to impressive sizes and intensities.
Had she herself come up with the idea of dressing like this to support Ash?
I couldn't believe it, was she really dating him?
Johanna, on the other hand.
She wasn't angry, much less about what her daughter was wearing.
After all, her daughter had already worn that kind of clothing and more.
I simply accept that it was her idea to get other girls to dress like that.
What amazed him most...
Would Dawn really go to that extent for Ash?
...
May was petrified, the deep blush was noticeable on her face... Including the immense steam coming out of her ears.
Had she accepted that girl's idea? And why was she with Ash knowing he had five women as girlfriends?
Max was incredulous, the magnitude of his expression conveyed his entire impression of seeing his sister like that...
She soon became curious about Ash, how had he changed her older sister?
Caroline sighed, looking longingly at the way her daughter was dressed.
It brought back many memories...
While Norman...
He didn't know how to react to the way his daughter presented herself.
Angry with the boy and a little with that girl Dawn for having convinced her to wear that suit... Which curiously made May's future body more noticeable.
Nostalgic and a little convinced because he remembered the ways Caroline supported him in the past, the same way May was supporting her future boyfriend.
— Now the finalists will enter .
In the Unova Region, Iris appeared, sitting in a tree, watching a tablet where the finals were being broadcast.
Somewhere in the Kanto Region or maybe Johto, Lance and Dragonite appeared watching on a cell phone.
In the Kalos Region. Professor Sycamore, Alain, Charizard, Mairin, and Chespin appeared watching on a screen.
The aspirations of three of the previous Tournament participants made people feel excited.
Iris, the Unova Champion.
Lance, the two-time champion of Kanto and Johto.
Alain, the Kalos representative.
The fact that all three of them appeared watching the final from their regions was a real boost of excitement for the crowd.
Especially for themselves, knowing that they would be watching the World Cup final despite their defeats from the first round.
— In 8th place of the Eight Masters and First Champion of the Alola Region, the contestant Ash from the Kanto Region .
Ash entered the field with Pikachu by his side.
-Can!
-Good luck!
—Ash!
The screams of the audience were evident when...
—Win! We trust you! Win! Ash, you will win!
—You'll get it! Don't give up until the end!
The girls' shouts of support were quick to appear, performing characteristic cheerleader movements.
May, Dawn, Serena, Lillie, and Lana. All cheering and supporting the First Champion of Alola with great joy.
Chloe looked around, with slight excitement.
—Everyone is cheering for Ash.
Ash was silent, watching with enormous shame that was conveyed by the huge blush on his face...
Looking the other way... Ash was very happy and excited to see so many people cheering his name with those shouts of support.
The boy from Pallet Town simply settled down to enjoy what was to come, to see all his future efforts to achieve the World Champion title. To be the strongest trainer of all.
—We're going to do it, Pikachu... We'll be world champions, together.
Pikachu nods determinedly, hoping to achieve victory against the Unbeatable Champion...
If that means breaking skulls.
Misty had a small smile, happily watching her friend enter leagues involving players all over the world... Reaching the level of Champions and having the chance to dethrone Lionel from his position.
—You're amazing, Ash. You're really achieving your goals and dreams.
Brock shook his head back and forth in agreement, equally proud and happy of his best friend who was achieving his dreams that at first seemed impossible because of the type of person he was.
—Yes, Ash does it really well.
...
Delia's crystalline eyes soon appeared, still without shedding a tear from her eyes.
She was very proud of her boy, watching him reach levels beyond the regional level. He even reached the World League, which even included Champions...
All of that and more made her feel happy seeing her son's dream getting closer and closer.
—You can do it, son.
...
Professor Oak's heartbeat grew stronger and faster, seeing that the world finals were about to begin... That Ash was one of the finalists filled him with pride and happiness.
After seeing him for so long at such a basic level, seeing him succeed at the highest levels was pretty cool.
—You've grown so much, huh, kid?
Gary clicked his tongue a little enviously, seeing those "cheerleaders" who were really cheering on their rival with all their hearts, since all that valuable feeling could be seen.
His cheerleaders encouraged him because he was said to be handsome and cute, and his father gave them some money to appear in everything he traveled in... Just so his son would be recognized and have thousands of fans.
But unlike him, the cheerleaders who cheered for Ash did so with all their pleasure and honesty.
Money couldn't do everything.
He might have had quantity, but Ash had quality and so much more.
...
Professor Kukui and Principal Oak looked at their future First Champion with small, confident smiles.
After the victories, their expectations had increased enormously, especially when they were about to face the Unbeatable Champion.
"I have a feeling that the outcome of this fight will never be forgotten," Kukui said with great confidence.
—I'm going to have to agree, something abnormal is coming—Gabriel said, nodding.
Elsewhere...
Lana and Lillie looked away, obvious tiny blushes on their cheeks... They weren't upset, but they were embarrassed to see themselves like that.
Mallow, Sophocles, and Kiawe preferred not to dwell on the idea of seeing their friends in cheerleading outfits. So they decided to focus on their Region's First Champion.
—We're at the world finals, Ash took Alola too far—Sophocles said with a smile.
—And when I underestimate him, I feel like a complete idiot—Kiawe said, regretting his outbursts of anger towards Ash.
—Don't worry about that, what's coming will be harder—Mallow said seriously.
...
Serena had a charming smile, accompanied by a cute blush at seeing him present.
Still, she also focused on supporting her beloved, prepared to see him through thick and thin.
Grace just sighed, looking on without being bothered by the way the boy was carrying his daughter... Hoping that it wouldn't distract him from the plan he had about Serena being a Pokémon racer.
Just like her, so that he will replace her.
—Well, let's see what happens... Boy.
...
Lorelei and Agatha looked with sweet smiles at the girls supporting their partner on the field.
"Young love," Agatha said, feeling nostalgic.
—I'm surprised to see them like that, it seems that they have great affection for that boy—Lorelei said, smiling understandingly.
Bruno and Lance stared at the boy entering the arena.
—Now you will face Lionel, the first to beat in this Tournament—Bruno said seriously.
—The Unbeatable Champion, the difficulty of this fight is even greater for him. Facing Cynthia is one thing, but facing Lionel is something else—Lance said, just like his partner.
Charles Goodshow was happy, happily watching the Pokémon World Championship finals.
A young talent, what he was looking to bring to the Tournament involved at world levels.
A quartet of very important spectators seemed to be recording the boy with very strange expressions.
—After all, this isn't the time to broadcast live!
—That's right, leave that!
—We have to support the clumsy one!
Giovanni looked rather incredulously at the quartet of "spectators" in the stands, recognizing his subordinates right there.
What the hell were they doing there? And why the hell did they seem to want to support that brat?
They should be doing things to strengthen the Organization! That's why they were on a mission to infiltrate and steal Pokémon with a high number of Pokémon to increase Team Rocket's firepower.
Why were you wasting your time playing fanatic for that useless bastard?!
James, Jessie, and Meowth were very confused, equally surprised to see themselves there to broadcast the battle and support the First Champion of Alola.
"What happened to us?" Meowth whispered, confused.
"Is that a new Pokémon? Looks like we'll catch it in the future," Jessie said with a smile.
James was also about to say something when...
Giovanni's furious gaze fell upon them, his strict aura always coming out when the evil man was in a very bad mood.
—Get them out of my sight! Damned cork trees!
The only thing that could be known...
There were the sounds of blows and screams...
Ash and Pikachu continued walking calmly.
— Since entering the Championship, he has defeated strong opponents one after another . He is the tournament's most promising player .
In the Hoenn Region, Steven appeared watching on a screen.
— In the tournament, he defeated the Hoenn Region Champion, Steven .
Steven nodded, agreeing with the Tournament announcer's words.
Ash was the most promising young talent in the entire Championship, surpassing even the talent of the young Champion of Unova and the renowned representative of Kalos.
And what he liked most was that the boy formed a strong bond with his Pokémon. Whoever they were, Ash always had their back.
Friendship and trust in Pokémon that were companions were one of the things that the strongest trainer in Hoenn liked the most.
The power might be latent, but Steven was always there for trust and friendship with Pokémon.
And that's why, whatever they say.
Steve Stone, the Champion of Hoenn.
He was on Ash Ketchum's side, prepared and ready to support him in his final fight against Lionel.
—Break your limits, Ash. Take this to a level beyond what's known.
—And also to the Champion of the Sinnoh Region, Cynthia .
On a balcony of the arena, Cynthia and Diantha appeared watching the fight on a small screen.
The woman smiled, watching Ash walk.
—You can do it, love.
Cynthia maintained a small smile, looking somewhat amused at her future self's insistence.
Would you really agree to have an open relationship with Ash? Well...
After all, she was already quite old for someone her future "lover"'s age. Still, she couldn't help but feel even more confused about the decisions she would make in the future.
He had possibly seen the positive side of that, but he would put the matter to bed when the reason why the boy had a harem was confirmed.
Nevertheless.
Leaving that topic aside, she could prove that Ash had great potential to exploit.
Defeating great champions like that at the age of 17 almost 18 must have been a pretty good achievement.
Ash's power could become even greater, she knew that.
Although clearly, that would only happen if the boy were trained from a very early age by the people who were currently at the world level.
Ash finally arrived at his placed space, the Key Stone now visible in his hand.
—With Dynamax, Z-Move, and Mega Evolution, you're using unique ideas in your Pokémon Battles. What kind of inspiration will you have this time?
Then... The Dynamax bandana was visible on the wrist of the First Champion of Alola... Who smiled slightly.
The Dinamax band...
Did Ash Ketchum have all 3 Tournament Mechanics?
The Galar Region looked in amazement at the young First Champion of Alola, very surprised that he could also handle Gigantamax or maybe just Dynamax.
Lionel's shock was all over his face, Charizard was also very amazed to see the 3 Ability Mechanics on Ash.
Until then excitement and enthusiasm hit them both.
—Dynamax... Mega Evolution... Z-Move...
Whispering in amazement and excitement, Lionel was very surprised to see his opponent with the 3 Mechanics...
That meant incredible firepower. So much so that he couldn't even imagine it, because he had never faced an opponent with the most powerful abilities in the world.
As the excited smile grew on his face, the Unbeatable Champion looked at the boy with hope.
—This is just getting more and more interesting! Let's have a fiery finale, Ash!
Charizard roared excitedly, hoping to face Ash's most powerful Pokémon and see if it could knock him off his feet.
...
Ash was very excited and happy with what he was seeing, Pikachu was in shock at what was in front of him.
Mega Lucario, Gigacthunder Lightning, Dynamax or Gigantamax.
They were the extra abilities that were in his charge, all the options you could choose from the power you would carry.
—This is the power I'll have as a Pokémon Master?! This is all truly impressive!
Brock and Misty were very amazed that their friend had those 3 Mechanics.
Lance and Diantha had Mega Evolution.
Lionel had Gigantamax.
Cynthia had Mega Evolution and Dynamax.
Ash had Mega Evolution, Z-Move and Gigantamax or Dynamax!
That was just proof that Ash's power had exceeded their expectations, and that's something both Gym Leaders knew very well.
...
Professor Oak was freaking out, staring in amazement at the Dynamax bandana on Ash Ketchum's wrist.
He was very happy and proud of everything Ash was achieving in the future, the great achievement of becoming Champion of another Region and being in the Master Class... Having the powers known until now.
But thinking carefully about what he had seen before, the old man had become very thoughtful about the nickname the boy had received when he beat the Sinnoh Champion.
Champion Slayer...
Champion Hunter? That could have different meanings and terms, but Samuel was pretty sure none of them were referring to anything evil... Which is why he was very interested in knowing the reason for such a nickname.
Gary wasn't far behind either, having an exaggerated expression about knowing the power the "useless" now had over his hands.
When then his whole world of being superior came crashing down... The Professor's grandson was realizing everything that Ash Ketchum would achieve and his absence on the screens was clear.
Ash Ketchum was getting over it... Sure, if he hadn't already.
Even so...
Knowing that the person who would never believe they would win anything in their life, seeing them succeed like this...
Now understanding that his path as a Pokémon trainer could not go as far as he had imagined.
...
Paul and Reggie were shocked by what was shown on the screen. Was this really happening?
Did Ash really have all three Pokémon World Championship Mechanics? Z-Move, Mega Evolution, and Dynamax or Gigantamax.
—That's too much power, how can he have all that?—Paul said in shock.
—Attack power, skill boosts, and giant attacks... Ash has all of that—Reggie said breathlessly.
Would this be the most Ash could do to surprise them? They thought so.
Or maybe there was more to it than just that?
...
Not only would there be 2 Mechanics, now there would be 3 Mechanics.
Ash Ketchum's power had impressed the Alola Region even more, the very Region that the boy was going to represent in the world leagues.
No one could believe the extent of strength their future First Champion would gain to face the other 7 Masters who accompanied him.
This only served to increase their respect, acceptance, and admiration for him enormously.
The hopes of seeing him defeat Lionel due to the power he had, increased sharply upon seeing the enormous power that was in Ash Ketchum's hands.
But for the Veterans, who were very conscious, they looked on with some doubt.
Would it be enough to defeat the Unbeatable Champion?
—The one who will fight Ash... He's the Unbeatable Champion that everyone knows... And he's a dream goal for Pokémon Trainers around the world!
The announcer's words were not wrong, and at no point would they be.
Ash's opponent had achievements that were dreams of every Rookie and Veteran trainer who tried to achieve it in different attempts.
And after the long journey, they were about to see him face the young talent.
— In first place among the Eight Masters! Champion of Galar, contestant Lionel!
Lionel entered the field, walking triumphantly with his cape of superiority.
Lionel's appearance caused Galar to erupt in shouts and cheers towards their Champion, being as great as it was now.
Everyone was excited to see him on the field, ready to face the First Champion of Alola, who, with all his efforts, managed to crush Steve, barely beating Cynthia to prove his identity there.
The man in question...
He focused his excited and happy gaze on the young opponent who would face him, knowing what was coming with the magnitude of the battle they were about to have.
Lionel was in full agreement to face him with all the power possible, so he hoped that something could be done with the rules and see how Ash could use the 3 Mechanics in combat.
Facing Z-Move, Mega Evolution and Dynamax at the same time... Only with his Gigantamax Charizard.
Just thinking about it...
It filled him with great excitement, seeing the possibility that it would be the only way anyone could fight hand to hand against his strength.
—You have to use all your power, Ash! It's the only way you'll be able to face me!
Hop looked happily at his older brother.
-Brother!
— Hop .
Sonia appeared next to the boy.
—Sonia! You came!
—I was looking forward to seeing her live.
Sonia looked somewhat surprised at his appearance in the stadium, as well as at the grown and already accomplished Hop.
A friendly smile spread across her face, obviously going to the World Cup finals to see him. Lionel.
Still, he was quite surprised to see Hop finally that old and ready to support him.
But then I imagine it, knowing it would be something very obvious.
He ended up laughing affectionately.
—Of course! It had to be you, Hop! Hahaha.
Elsewhere in Galar, a certain someone was watching the final.
— Now, can Ash break his undefeated streak?
That was Roy, he had a nice smile seeing his rival friend.
—Or will Lionel further improve his unbeaten streak?
Everyone was attentive to the announcer's words.
A large majority said no, believing Ash was too young and inexperienced to handle such a high position. They also believed he wouldn't have enough power to defeat more than two of the Unbeaten Champion's Pokémon.
A small portion of the group agreed, believing that Ash was, so to speak, the "chosen one" to break Lionel's streak and finally topple him from his position, allowing a new era to finally dawn. They also had great confidence in him.
Besides.
Roy watched with a smile as he appeared on the screens for the second time. This time supporting his rival friend.
Having nothing to do with the boy, Roy supported Lionel.
Lionel couldn't be beaten by anyone else, only he had to do it, and if he had to train twice as hard to do it... Then he'd train three times as hard.
Lionel finally stopped in his designated space.
— It's going to be a real battle for the top!
A great battle, that was a fact.
The world finals, the Pokémon World Championships Masters Tournament. Where the top eight Pokémon trainers would face off to decide who would reign supreme in Pokémon battles.
But it wasn't just that... Since from another side.
The end of the world, from another perspective. It was also the end of a great era that many would remember, nothing would be forgotten about the tremendous development and growth that lasted exactly 25 years.
From Galar, its Champion grew up with greatness and a spectacular gift in battle. He eventually reached his peak, becoming the strongest Champion in Pokémon history.
From Kanto, he was the Champion of Alola, where he earned his grand title and impressive battle skills. He was just beginning his time of triumph and fame, becoming the strongest young Champion in Pokémon history.
Now both of them were vying to see who deserved to wear the title of the strongest. The World Champion, in a valuable final that would be remembered around the world as one of the greatest fights.
Greatness versus natural talent.
Galar vs Alola.
Unbeatable Champion vs. Champion Slayer.
Lionel sent his prestigious cape flying with great excitement.
—Ash, we're finally on the battlefield!
—Yes! Also, in the final.
Ash bumped his fist into the palm of his other hand, in a manner of defiance and excitement.
The Unbeatable Champion raised his arms as well as his gaze.
—Best case scenario ever! I've been waiting for this battle longer than...
Then he put her down, all his emotion and tension was on his face.
-...Nobody!
Ash folded in place, sharing the same look with Pikachu.
The interaction between the two finalists had been a touch of excitement for the spectators.
Lance watched with a small smile at the expressions of both Champions.
—They are both very excited about this.
Lorelei watched equally with a slight smile.
—Yes, as if this fight was meant to be.
Bruno looked more seriously, looking curiously at the World Champion's expression.
—You saw him, right? Lionel seems more excited and tense than he was during his battle with Diantha. It's as if...
Agatha cut him off and continued, fully understanding her companion's words.
—As if he expected the fight that would change his life, precisely from that young boy.
They could clearly feel that tension running through Lionel's body, the same tension they felt when the challengers began to weaken their last Pokémon.
The tension of knowing that victory was not assured, and strangely that is what was happening to the Unbeatable Champion.
Goodshow was happy to hear that, knowing that such a young Pokémon Trainer was aiming to give the Unbeatable Champion a battle he would never forget.
Bringing the talents of World-level Rookies made the old man believe that the Pokémon World Championships were working so well that it even exceeded his own expectations.
...
Sonia immediately looked into the Galarian Champion's latent gaze, she would be one of the first to know what Lionel was thinking at that moment.
A case that surprised her as well, knowing of the hopes the Champion had for the other young Champion.
This had been something she had never seen from Lionel, seeing him that way in a Pokémon battle.
Could Ash Ketchum really give him that Pokémon battle that Lionel had been searching for years, fighting for his Region?
The battle where he managed to defeat his opponents with a difference of 3 unused Pokémon, winning with only half of his teammates without anyone else managing to go past 2 Pokémon.
And even more, he managed to break his undefeated streak for the first time in his life.
Will the young First Champion of Alola achieve that important title?
Defeat the Strongest Unbeatable Champion?
In the Professor's laboratory, there were all of the boy's Pokémon and the assistance of the Professor himself, his mother and his assistant.
Samuel spoke with some emotion.
—He's grown enough to compete on equal terms with the Champions.
Delia nodded, agreeing with that.
—Yes! Trust your Pokémon and good luck, Ash!
Gary said absolutely nothing, looking directly at the Pokémon Ash was containing in the garden of the laboratory where he was now.
While Professor Oak happily saw how he was there to support Ash, not leaving him alone at that moment where the world of his dreams was about to come true.
To be the best Pokémon Master in the entire world, something the boy would achieve if he managed to overthrow Lionel from his crown... To become the World Champion of the Pokémon World Championships.
Defeating any coach that stood in front of him.
Beating the Champions with great ruthlessness, no matter who they are. Falling and falling before the boy.
Regardless of what kind of coach was in front of him, he overcame the challenges and obstacles that were placed in his path with great determination.
...
Delia looked happily at her future counterpart, knowing that she would continue to support her little boy always.
Wherever she is, through thick and thin... Supporting Ash forever, like any mother would, encouraging him to achieve all his dreams that he worked so hard to achieve.
Achieving impressive levels, maintaining a stubborn mindset, never giving up, never backing down. Beating any trainer, even champions, was what those great 7 figures were all about.
Doing what he did with his spark, making them fall like a...
Champion Slayer.
Returning to Shūto Stadium, Dan prepared to put in his role as referee.
—The finals are a full 6-on-6 battle. Battle length and Pokémon switches are unlimited! The winner is the one who successfully faints all six of their opponent's Pokémon. Additionally, only one use of one of the following Mechanics is allowed: Dynamax, Z-Move, or Mega Evolution...
-Wait!
Everyone had been patiently waiting for Dan to explain the rules of the fight and start the final show.
By then, Lionel's loud voice made surprises invade their faces.
What was the Unbeatable Champion about to say?
Something very impressive, surely after everything they had seen from that great Champion.
Everyone looked at Lionel in surprise for his interruption, Dan stood in front of the Champion in confusion.
—Participant Lionel...
—Just one isn't fun! Come on and use them all, Ash!
-All?
Just like the young First Champion of Alola from the future, disbelief and uncertainty were felt by everyone watching the match.
Even the Galarians who were now in enormous doubt.
Was Lionel daring to fight with Z-Move, Dynamax, and Mega Evolution together?
Would he really be able to fight against the 3 most powerful Mechanics in the hands of Ash Ketchum?
Was the great Unbeatable Champion getting a bit carried away by everything that was going to happen?
—This is the final, decisive battle. I'm going to put all my strength into it, along with all my Pokémon. That's why I want you, Ash, to use all the power you have too!
Lionel kept stretching his arms upwards, showing all his excitement and hope.
—Dynamax, Z-Move, Mega Evolution! I want to battle everyone! I want to battle and win! What do you all think? Wouldn't you like to see a full-power battle?
The entire audience cheered, clearly accepting the Champion's offer.
Sonia raised her fist excitedly, Hop shouted happily.
—I want to see it! I expected nothing less from my brother! He has a good point!
The girls. They were excited to find out what was coming.
Chloe was more confused.
—What do you mean?
Dawn looked at her, ready to answer.
—Something incredible is about to happen!
Dawn returned to her "sisters" to continue supporting the boy.
—Go Ash! Let's win!
Dan communicated with the tournament managers, until he returned to his place.
—The Championship Board of Directors approved participant Lionel's proposal. Do you approve of this, participant Ash?
—Let's do it, of course!
—Unprecedented ! At Lionel's suggestion, this final will be the greatest battle ever held!
Lionel's great excitement and hope had grown suddenly upon hearing the Tournament Council's approval.
Charizard was also excited, knowing that in the future he would face a type of opponent he had never fought before... It made a latent emotion grow in his chest.
—Yes, that's right! Let's have a fiery, arduous finale! We'll be able to fight with all our might!
The Galarian Champion was very excited to know that finally... That hope of fighting as equals with someone was not forgotten.
Mega Evolution, Z-Move and Dynamax... Fighting against those 3 Mechanical phenomena that helped increase the powers of your companions, but not one.
All three at the same time. The augmentation and strengthening of abilities, a new attack with unprecedented firepower, the forces of a giant with unlimited potential.
...
Ash's mouth was open unprecedentedly, Pikachu was the same way.
Did the Unbeatable Champion want to break the rules to maintain a compromising fight?
His admiration and respect for Lionel grew inevitably from knowing this, from knowing that the Champion was willing to fight with such an enormous disadvantage.
Brock and Misty weren't having a great time directing that information from the Unbeatable Champion either.
Would you let Ash abuse your Mechanics to maintain a colossal dictatorship over both of you?
They weren't going to hesitate either, nor would anyone else.
That the battle would be remembered for many generations and go down in Pokémon history...
...
The whole impression was on Diantha's face, who was unable to direct the Unbeatable Champion's proposal.
—Are you going to fight like this? With an incalculable disadvantage?
She couldn't believe that the Champion was willing to fight against the Mega Evolution and the other Mechanics, that practically meant a crushing defeat for the opponent who took that courage.
And from what I had seen in the previous battle, Mega Lucario shared great strength that was demonstrated in Togekiss Dinamax.
The ability to almost overturn a huge being was a demonstration of physical strength never seen before.
Would Lionel's team be able to fight against the impending might of Mega Lucario?
...
Roy was very surprised by the choice of his rival friend, willing to face his opponent's maximum power with all his might.
He was very aware of his friend's power from the various fights he had against him, so he knew he was thinking of facing such a tremendous mountain of power.
Especially when the boy had the ability to Dynamax his Pokémon, any of the ones he had on his team.
There were many possibilities. Dragonite, Dracovish, Sirfetch'd, Gengar, and Pikachu.
...
Like the other Regions, the Alola Region was also in a huge shock.
Lionel was proposing to fight with a power never before known, that someone has the 3 Mechanics in itself was already too much.
And that someone was their future First Champion of Alola, making them feel happy and excited about the abilities that their great representative was achieving.
And although it was a shame that I couldn't use the 3 Tournament Mechanics, here I was.
Making a sort of declaration of war, going so far as to rise to the occasion of confronting external powers with great force...
Ready to fight Ash's Z-Move.
The Giga Thunder that had impressed them so much, powerful controllable lightning bolts that gave out much more than millions of volts.
Would Lionel be able to handle all that electricity?
