With only one Pokémon left for both participants, Cynthia calls upon Garchomp one final time, marking the start of the battle's climax. Backstage, [[Diantha]] and {{an|Leon}} compare the damage both Pokémon have received in their respective battles, believing the battle is a toss-up. Seeing Ash and Lucario's powerful connection, Cynthia and Garchomp think back to their past travels together over their many years: from playing together as children, to [[fishing]] up a {{p|Feebas}}, Garchomp's evolutionary road from {{p|Gible}}, viewing the mural at [[Amity Square]], and their countless battles as partners on their shared road to the present. Cynthia declares they will be the ones to battle Leon and calls for {{m|Scale Shot}}. Lucario counters with Bullet Punch and then launches an Aura Sphere, resulting in a large explosion that damages both Pokémon. Cynthia's excitement peaks as she exclaims how she has longed for a battle this intense. Lucario and Garchomp begin trading blows with Bullet Punch and {{m|Dragon Claw}}, turning the battle into an all-out slugfest as the two try desperately to knock the other out. Eventually the flurry of blows stops and both Pokémon back off, clearly running low on energy. When Lucario drops to one knee, Cynthia takes her chance and orders Dragon Claw once more, but Lucario musters the last of his strength to counter with {{m|Reversal}}. Both attacks score devastating blows and both Pokémon simultaneously hit the dirt, seemingly unable to continue. After several agonizing moments of deafening silence, Lucario slowly rises to its feet, while Garchomp remains motionless on the ground. [[Gym guide|Dan]] declares Garchomp unable to battle and Ash the winner of the match, allowing Ash to advance to the finals. | With only one Pokémon left for both participants, Cynthia calls upon Garchomp one final time, marking the start of the battle's climax.

Ash stands stupefied as cheers shower down on him, unable to quite believe he has actually managed to defeat Cynthia. It is not until he sees {{AP|Pikachu}} jumping for joy does he fully realize his victory. Bursting with excitement, he rushes forth and hugs Lucario. In the stands, [[Goh]] and [[Hop]] cheer for Ash's victory, as do {{TRT}}, who are overcome with emotion that their [[twerp]] has toppled | Ash stands stupefied as cheers shower down on him, unable to quite believe he has actually managed to defeat Cynthia.

In the stands, [[Goh]] and [[Hop]] cheer for Ash's victory, as do {{TRT}}, who are overcome with emotion that their [[twerp]] has now toppled the {{pkmn|Champion}}s of both [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Pallet Town]], {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Oak's lab]] rejoice, while {{an|Professor Oak}} fights off tears. Meanwhile, Leon is fired up and can't hold down his excitement over facing Ash in the finals. Garchomp accepts Lucario's paw and rises to her feet, while Cynthia congratulates Ash on his triumph. She praises his unparalleled connection with all of his Pokémon, admitting that she still has much to learn, and adds that she hopes to battle him again in the future. Meanwhile, the announcer reveals that the matchup of Ash versus Leon in the finals will be another six-on-six [[Full Battle]] to decide who gets the title of Monarch. | ||
Cynthia reconvenes with Diantha in the tunnel and apologizes for losing. Cynthia admits that battling provides her with a thrill that can't be surpassed, choosing to continue on with her career as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], rather than retiring like she [[JN123|previously planned]], while still moving forward with her fields of research, much to Diantha's happiness. Outside, Ash summons his [[Party|team]] to thank them for their victory. However, he adds that now that they have reached the finals and their goal of battling Leon, they can't back down and will emerge victorious. As the team cheers, they begin preparing to face their strongest opponent ever. | Cynthia reconvenes with Diantha in the tunnel and apologizes for losing.
