{{ga|Victor}}/{{ga|Gloria}} and [[Hop]] receive their [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Leon]], the undefeated {{pkmn|Champion}}, and meet a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Slumbering Weald]]. The two receive [[Pokédex]]es from [[Sonia]], [[Dynamax Band]]s from [[Professor Magnolia]], and [[endorsement]]s from Leon to enter the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. They head on an adventure traveling across Galar challenging [[Gym]]s in order to earn eight [[Badge]]s to enter the Champion Cup. Over the course of their {{pkmn|journey}}, he/she encounters a group called [[Team Yell]], whose members support [[Marnie]] in the Gym Challenge, as well as another group called [[Macro Cosmos]], a conglomerate led by [[Chairman Rose]], who has endorses his ward [[Bede]] in the Gym Challenge. During the Champion Cup in [[Wyndon Stadium]], Rose interrupts the Championship Match by reawakening {{p|Eternatus}} and bringing about the [[Darkest Day]] in an attempt to provide energy for the Galar region in 1,000 years.

==Cities, routes, and other locations== | ==Cities, routes, and other locations== | ||
Galar has 11 cities and towns. Like in [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]], the routes of Galar start counting again from 1, likely to represent its geographical isolation from the original four regions. There are 10 routes in total. | |||
In the anime, it was shown that Galar was far enough away from Kanto (and presumably Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh) to require flying between the two locations via airplane. | |||
