In [[JN129]], as Ash and Leon's battle was about to begin, Leon requested that Ash should be allowed to use [[Mega Evolution]], [[Z-Move]]s, and Dynamax, instead of just one of them, which was accepted. The battle continued for the next few episodes. Near its climax, Eternatus appeared over Wyndon Stadium and recharged both Trainers' Dynamax Bands, allowing them to Gigantamax their Pokémon one more time. Ultimately, in [[JN132]], the battle ended in a passionate showdown between Ash's Pikachu and Leon's Charizard. In the end, Charizard was defeated, putting an end to Leon's winning streak. Later, Leon promised to Ash that he'd keep on having more battles to grow stronger, and handed Ash his trophy during the awards ceremony. | In ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'', as Ash and Leon's battle was about to begin, Leon requested that Ash should be allowed to use [[Mega Evolution]], [[Z-Move]]s, and Dynamax, instead of just one of them, which was accepted.
