The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Among them were fans of Leon, fans of Lance, and also fans of both sides, like Ash and his friends, who were just there to watch the match.

Shouts, screams, and cheers filled the air.

As the lights in the venue suddenly went out, the venue gradually quieted down.

The deafening cheers of the previous second were like a snapped string, and the audience's breath tightened abruptly in the sudden darkness.

Beneath the massive metal dome, only scattered glimmers of light from the distant city filtered through.

The venue was pitch black, so quiet you could hear your own heartbeat.

"boom!"

The first beam of light exploded from the battlefield in the very center of the arena, a blinding pure white pillar shooting straight up to the dome, like a holy sword piercing the night, instantly illuminating the entire vast and magnificent arena.

Countless colorful beams of light shot out from the mechanical supports around the stadium, intersecting and rotating in mid-air, weaving a giant net of light that covered the entire arena.

Giant LED light strips illuminated the circular grandstand in layers, like a rainbow waterfall cascading down from the sky, painting every excited face with a dreamlike and passionate color.

The lights flashed rhythmically, accompanied by a deep and powerful opening sound effect. With each alternation of light and dark, the heartbeats of the entire audience vibrated in sync.

The entire palace stadium seemed to float in the Milky Way.

The once pitch-black night sky was completely illuminated by the lights of the palace arena.

A beam of light pierced the dome and shot into the night sky of Gongmen City, exploding into flowing colors above the clouds. The entire city of Gongmen was in an uproar over the final match of the eight masters.

In the audience, countless glow sticks waved with the lights, forming a surging sea of ​​color. The shouts were suppressed to the extreme, but then exploded in rhythm with the entire stadium at the moment when the lights were at their brightest.

After whetting the audience's appetite, the host picked up the microphone and began to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the moment has finally arrived."

The grandest and most exciting Pokémon battle extravaganza in the world will determine the world's strongest champion.

Pokémon World Championships!

The top eight players, recognized by the Pokémon Battle Committee as having earned the title of Masters, will engage in fierce battles in the elimination rounds.

Who will ultimately win the title of World's Strongest Champion?

Now, let's welcome our two finalists to the stage!

As soon as he finished speaking, deafening cheers and shouts erupted from the crowd.

"First up is A-Du!"

He is the champion of both the Kanto and Johto regions.

He also won the Kanto League Elite Four Cup.

It was also the Dream Showdown held in Fantasy City, where the Pokémon World Championships champion was...

Utilizing his powerful abilities as a Pokémon Inspector, he defeated his opponents one by one.

Using Dragon-type Pokémon in spectacular battles is like art itself.

The world's number one Pokémon trainer,

That's A-Du!

After the host finished speaking, accompanied by the spotlight and the enthusiastic screams and shouts of the audience,

Red hair, wearing a cloak,

A Dragon-type expert skilled in using Flying-type Pokémon.

The two regional champions from the Kanto region, the Dragon Messenger Dodo, stepped into the battlefield.

"Then, his opponent, the other contestant in this final, is Dante!"

Born and raised in the Galar region

In their first competition, they distinguished themselves in the seeding tournament in the Galar region, winning the championship with overwhelming strength.

After that, he continued to extend his undefeated record and announced that he was willing to accept any challenge as the champion.

At his urging, 100 challengers who came from all over the world were defeated by him; he was truly the king of kings.

He is also a superstar in the Galar region.

The invincible Dan-Emperor!

Leon, whose cape was covered in advertisements and who wore shorts over long pants, raised his hands and waved to the audience as he stepped into the battlefield.

"Both A-Du and Dan-Te are now in position on the battlefield. Please come forward."

Upon hearing the host's words, Leon and Lance both took their positions as trainers on either side of the battlefield.

Referee Deng Pei, riding a Shielded Sword Monster, flew over and began reading out the rules of the match.

"Now, let's begin the Pokémon World Championship final match between Lance, the dual champion of the Kanto and Johto regions, and Leon, the champion of the Galar region."

Only one Pokémon can be used at a time. The match ends when one side's Pokémon is unable to battle.

During the match, neither side can freely switch Pokémon.

In addition, Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Dynamax, and Crystallize are four ways to enhance a character's power-up, and these can be used infinitely in battle.

Now, both sides, please send out your Pokémon simultaneously.

Ash was somewhat speechless. This was the final match of the prestigious World Championship's Eight Masters Tournament, a match that would determine the world's strongest champion and the greatest Pokémon trainer.

Such an important match, and you're telling me it's just a one-on-one?

Why are they copying the Alola League?

Meanwhile, Dante and Adu had already begun their pre-match trash talk.

“Anyone who has watched the previous matches knows you are a very strong trainer, so I predicted you would advance to the final match,” said Adu.

"Adu, can you feel it? The battlefield is filled with a tense atmosphere."

And then there's the contrasting enthusiasm of the audience; either way, it's great, right?

But these same viewers are also the cruel ones who hope one of us will be defeated and eliminated.

Overcoming these fears, unleashing the full potential of a trainer, and reaping the sweet fruit called victory is my favorite part of the process.

"Hmph, do you think you'll win?"

"To maintain my invincible status, I will learn from all kinds of battles, this battle... no, this victory as well."

"It's pointless to say more before the outcome is decided. Let the result tell us which side is stronger."

"Go, Charizard."

"Ugh!"

This Charizard is level 100, with the Blaze ability. When its HP is below one-third, the power of its Fire-type moves is increased by 1.5 times.

"Go, Gyarados."

This Gyarados is level 100 and has the Intimidate ability, which lowers the Attack stat of all opposing Pokémon by one stage each time it enters the field.

It's worth mentioning that A-Du sent out a very beautiful, shiny red Gyarados.

It was the red Gyarados that he had caught at the Lake of Rage in the Johto region, the one that Team Rocket had forcibly evolved from Magikarp into.

After such a long period of careful training by Lance, this red Gyarados has now become one of his main Pokémon.
