Can you hear the cheers echoing through the stadium?

The match hasn't even begun, yet the supporters filling the rows...

...can hardly contain their excitement!

The big Pokémon League match between the Champion and a Gym Leader!

Galar Karate practitioner Saito is facing...

Hurry, Tommy! Galar Karate practitioner Saito is facing...

...the mightiest man; Champion Dande!

I made it!

Let the match begin!

Go, Dande!

Lizardon!

Lizardon takes off and uses Flamethrower! But Kairiky dodges!

Yeah! Great! Lizardon takes off and uses Flamethrower! But Kairiky dodges!

Lizardon takes off and uses Flamethrower! But Kairiky dodges!

Kairiky's as strong as ever!

There! Go! Kairiky's as strong as ever!

Lizardon unleashes its Slash attack!

All right!

Kairiky can't get back up! All right!

Kairiky can't get back up!

Lizardon won! Kairiky can't get back up!

Lizardon won!

It's over!

John! It's over!

Dande's awesome, isn't he?

Just once...

I'd love to watch one of Dande's matches in the stadium.

Chairman.

You should get going to the hospital.

A taxi is waiting for you outside.

What a magnificent Armorgaw.

Sorry, this one doesn't take to anyone but me!

Though its speed is unmatched in all of Galar!

Chairman. Hurry.

C'mon, hurry!

Now, now, don't run!

I'm so nervous!

Chairman Rose will be here soon.

Chairman Rose?

Huh? They told us Chairman Rose was visiting the hospital today, remember?

You didn't know?

Chairman Rose...

The Chairman Rose?!

Aren't you coming?

I'll write him a letter.

I'm gonna ask him to invite me to one of Dande's matches!

What? One of Dande's matches?

There's no way. You know how hard it is to get tickets to the Champion's matches!

And anyway, isn't it easier to ask him directly?

A letter is better.

I'm going ahead.

Thank you.

It's done!

Chairman Rose left already!

What?!

He probably went to the roof!

What's wrong?!

Oh... You must be the child that didn't show up earlier.

Thank you.

I'm fine.

That's impossible!

Do you... like Pokémon?

Y-Yeah.

It seems Pokémon like you, too.

Chairman.

That's a letter for you!

Um...

Please read it!

John!

You gave him the letter?

Yeah.

Young man.

The fact that Pokémon like you proves that you can become a great trainer.

Hmm? You got something from him, Sir?

I didn't think you'd make it! Hmm? You got something from him, Sir?

I didn't think you'd make it!

This...

...is quite good, don't you think?
