As soon as Ash and Goh's plane enters Galarian airspace, the lights inside the plane suddenly go out. As a stewardess tries to keep the passengers calm, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} look out the window, sensing something coming closer. Just then, {{an|Eternatus|a giant Pokémon}} flies past the plane, its form obscured by the clouds. In response, Pikachu's tail sparks a little. As the Pokémon flies away and its silhouette disappears from view, the lights turn back on, leaving both Ash and Goh excited about Galar's unsolved mysteries. | As soon as Ash and Goh's plane enters Galarian airspace, the lights inside the plane suddenly go out.

Ash asks where the stadium is, and Goh informs him that they're right in front of it. Ash looks around, confused, until Goh directs his head upwards, and Ash is completely blown away by the sheer size of [[Wyndon Stadium]]. Goh is excited to go {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} some Galar Pokémon, but Ash, jumping to the bits to see the match, drags Goh with him to the stadium. As the two take their seats, they're noticed by {{TRT}}, who are sitting a few rows above them. However, unlike usual, they're not after Pikachu this time, having instead been assigned by {{an|Giovanni}} to capture Galar's gigantifying Pokémon, having even received a [[Rotom Phone]] for this purpose. | ||
The lights in the stadium turn off and a colorful light show starts as the announcer welcomes the audience to the finals of the World Coronation Series. The top eight Trainers certified by the Pokémon Battle Commission, known as the "Masters Eight", have participated in a fierce tournament, and now, only two finalists remain to compete for the title of Monarch. The first finalist is [[Lance]], a member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], the winner of the [[Driftveil City]] [[Pokémon World Tournament]], an active member of the [[Pokémon G-Men]], and an expert {{type|Dragon}} [[Type expert|user]]. His opponent is [[Leon]], Galar's undefeated Champion and superstar, who once defeated 100 challengers from all over the world. The [[battle judge|referee]], [[Gym guide|Dan]], enters the field on his {{p|Aegislash}} and explains the rules: each side uses one Pokémon, and the battle is over when one side's Pokémon is unable to battle. Lance says that he's seen Leon's skills in his previous battles and expected him to get this far. Leon, in turn, talks how the audience can be a bit cruel, as they want nothing more than to see one of them lose. But he loves pushing through that fear to seize another victory. He says that his invincibility is the result of him learning from every battle he takes part in or sees. Lance declares that words are unnecessary, as it's time to battle and see which one of them is the stronger one. | The lights in the stadium turn off and a colorful light show starts as the announcer welcomes the audience to the finals of the World Coronation Series.

Both Leon and Lance are determined to keep the battle going and [[recall]] their Pokémon in preparation for their next moves. Lance activates the [[Dynamax Band]] on his wrist, causing Gyarados's {{i|Poké Ball}} to grow giant, before throwing it and sending out his now-[[Dynamax]]ed Gyarados. Ash and Goh are astounded to see Dynamaxing being used in Galarian [[Pokémon battle]]s, and understand that this is what Professor Cerise had meant with the stadium being "full of surprises". Team Rocket is also excited to witness Dynamaxing with their own eyes. Leon responds to Lance's move by [[Gigantamax]]ing his Charizard, making the match a Dynamax battle. | Both Leon and Lance are determined to keep the battle going and [[recall]] their Pokémon in preparation for their next moves.

Lance follows up with {{m|Max Strike}}, which Leon counters by telling Charizard to use {{m|Max Airstream}}, which not only pushes Charizard out of the attack's way, but also hits Gyarados, dealing even more damage. Deciding to finish the match, Leon calls out for Charizard's signature [[G-Max Move]], {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}. Lance desperately calls for a {{m|Max Guard}}, which successfully stops the G-Max Move. However, Leon's confidence remains unfaltering, and as soon as the Max Guard dissipates, G-Max Wildfire's secondary effect kicks in, engulfing Gyarados in flames to deal additional damage. Having already suffered a lot of damage in the battle, Gyarados is unable to withstand this and [[fainting|faints]], reverting to its normal size as a result. Dan makes the official judgement, declaring Gyarados unable to battle and Leon the winner, making him the Monarch. In the stands, Ash and Goh are amazed at Leon's strength. | ||
Lance recalls his defeated Pokémon and smiles at Leon. Leon compliments Lance's Dynamax, and Lance reveals that he had once trained at [[Hammerlocke Stadium|Galar's Dragon Gym]], and had been so influenced by the Gym's [[Clothing|uniform]] and its rich history, that he had based his current outfit on it. He adds that while he lost, he's still happy to have witnessed the rise of a new Monarch. He raises Leon's hand in the air, officially announcing him as the Monarch. As the announcer soon reconfirms this statement, Ash declares that he wants to battle Leon, much to Goh's astonishment. | Lance recalls his defeated Pokémon and smiles at Leon.

Just then, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} notices something, and the trio sees a {{OBP|Drednaw|recurring}} emerging from behind a nearby bush. They use their Rotom Phone on it, but it doesn't provide them with much information of it. Still, they figure that since it's a Galar Pokémon, it must be able to grow giant, and they decide to capture it. As such, they call for {{OBP|Pelipper|Team Rocket}}, who drops them the [[Rocket Prize Master]]. As has become a custom by now, they use {{MTR}}'s coin to vend some Pokémon, but only one Poké Ball comes out. [[James]] remembers how [[JN010|the last time they got only one Poké Ball]], the Pokémon inside had turned out to be a {{p|Wailord}}. [[Jessie]] excitedly throws the Ball, only for just a small {{p|Bellsprout}} to emerge. The trio is dumbstruck, but Jessie nevertheless decides to go with what they have, and calls for a {{m|Power Whip}}. Despite its small size, Bellsprout quickly proves its strength by dealing heavy damage on Drednaw. Jessie tells Bellsprout to keep attacking, but Drednaw dodges the second Power Whip, causing it to hit the ground instead. From the forming cracks, a sudden red light emerges and engulfs Drednaw, causing it to Gigantamax, much to Team Rocket's horror. Jessie tries to throw a Poké Ball at it, but her throw is completely off and the Ball falls to the ground. With Bellsprout being too afraid to attack anymore, the Rocket trio is left with no choice but to flee into the stadium, with Drednaw following them by extending its long neck after them. Drednaw's head pushing through the narrow corridors results in the whole stadium shaking, causing panic inside. | ||
