Liam was hurried into the backroom at Wyndom Stadium. A healing machine was brought in for Liam to ensure Smaug was fighting fit. There was also a package sitting on the table addressed to Liam. Liam walked over and looked at it and saw a card with it that had the logo of Galar’s dragon gym on it. Liam picked up the card and flipped it around to read it.
Champion Coleman,
I wish you luck in facing Champion Leon. Please know that this exhibition match has been the talk of Galar for a few months. The anticipation for this year’s events has been more hyped than it has been for many years. As a Dragon Master, I feel that the contents of this package will be to your liking. I have also enclosed a letter of recommendation for you to use to participate in the Galar League this season.
I’m sure that you will find the Dynamax phenomena quite interesting
With regards,
- Rihan.
Liam carefully opened the package to find that the package was a travel bag in the same color scheme as the Gym outfit for Rihan’s gym. Inside was a tracksuit, pair of shoes, and sunglasses in a case, all of these matched the bag in its color scheme. Liam changed into the new clothes, placing his old ones in a nearby box. He then looked at the clock and saw that his time would come soon. He tossed a Luxury Ball into the air as Smaug the Charizard emerged with a roar.
“Hey buddy,” Liam said as he hugged the Charizard. “Today’s the big day. We will face Leon. They say he’s undefeated…a lot. But, we aren’t pushovers either.” Liam was making eye contact with Smaug who looked back at him “But, this match is just for fun, so don’t worry about winning, If we make it to the Master Rank of the World Coronation or get all of Galar’s badges we might fight him for real but those won’t be for a while. So, let’s go out there and give these people a good show, right?” Liam held out his fist and Smaug roared and fist-bumped Liam. Liam recalled Smaug to his ball as there was a knock on his door. Olena was on the other side.
“They are ready for you,” she said as started to walk toward the arena, expecting Liam to follow She lead him to one of the arena entrances and told him to wait there until his name is called. Liam was watching a nearby monitor see what was occurring on the stage.
The lights on the stadium all went dark. Then a single spotlight shined on a man that Liam recognized as Chairman Rose approached the center stage as the crowd cheered. When the cheered ended, Rose began his speech.
“Ladies! Gentleman! Children of all ages and Pokémon: Welcome to Wyndon Stadium, I am Galar Leauge Chairman Rose, and I want to thank you all for coming today.” The crowd cheered more and Rose waited for them to finish before he continued. “After tonight, people wishing to participate in this year’s Galar Leauge will have one week to acquire a letter of recommendation and reach Motostoke Gym. “But, now for today’s main event: A special exhibition match! On my left, we have Johto’s champion, who just a few months ago defended his title, please welcome ‘Dragon Master’ Liam Coleman!”
A spotlight turned on at Liam’s entrance as he walked out to his position to modest applause. Liam waved to the crowd as they cheered, including the spectator’s box which he was told his friends would be viewing from. once the cheers ended, Rose continued.
“And in our other corner, you know him! You love him! Give it up for Galar’s undefeated champion, Leon!” The crowd erupted into even louder applause as Leon ran out waving to the crowds as well. Again, Rose waited for the cheers to end.
“Champions, come to center stage and shake hands,” Rose said. Both trainers did so and wished one another good luck before returning to their positions.
“Each trainer will use only their Charizard. This battle will end when either one of the Charizards is unable to continue or five minutes have passed.” Rose said into the microphone. “ As our guest, Champion Coleman will get the first move. Now, call out your Pokémon!”
“Smaug! It’s time to shine!” Liam called as he tossed the Luxury Ball out.
“Charizard, go!” Leon said.
The two Chariards emerged onto the arena.
“Put five minutes on the clock!” Rose announced as 5:00 appeared on the Jumbotrons Rose Then got off the arena. Rose was teleported to his own spectator box and an official came down standing on a platform that was connected by a harness to a Kilngklank.
“Begin!” the official called as the clock started to tick down.
“Smaug, Dragon Pulse!” Liam called Smaug launched the attack and made a direct hit on Leon’s Charizard.
“Thunderpunch!” Leon ordered. His Charizard’s fist became electrified and tried to connect to Smaug, who narrowly dodged it.
“OK, Let’s go,” Liam said as he activated the keystone. “Smaug, Mega Evolve!” Light emanated from the keystone, which was now stationed in Liam Z Power Ring, and from the Mega Charizardnite Y and Smaug turned to his Mega Y form, causing intense sunlight. “Now, Fire Blast!”
Smaug launched the powered-up fire attack that made a direct hit on Leon’s Charizard, though it did not do a lot of damage.
Leon had his Charizard try Thunder Punch again, this time it connected, dealing a good deal of damage.
(Sun 1)
“Smaug, Flamethrower!” Liam ordered. Smaug let a jet of fire forth that once again. Leon responded to this with Flamethrower of his own. Smaug’s flames were stronger and won out, but Leon shielded his Charizard by having him force a chunk of the floor up to take the brunt of the attack.
(Sun 2)
“Blast Burn!” Liam ordered, This attack sadly missed, as did the other Charizard’s Thunder Punch.
(Sun 3)
Leon recalled Smaug as his Dynamx band began to glow. the Pokéball in Leon’s hand got the same glow and began to grow till Leon has to use both hands to hold it, then he tossed it up into the air. A Bigger and slightly different-looking Charizard emerged, to massive cheers from the audience. The Offical said that Leon’s Charizard has now Gigantamaxed. It was truly the biggest thing that Liam had seen.
(Sun 4, Dyna 1)
“Smaug, Blast Burn!”
“Charizard, G-Max Wildfire!”
The two attacks were launched and Smaug's attack was absorbed by the bigger attack, leading to a huge explosion, when the dust settled the time had run out and Smaug was unconscious, back in his normal form.
“Champion Coleman’s Charizard is unable to continue, as such the winner of this exhibition match is the still undefeated Galar Champion, Leon!” the official announced to massive applause. Liam praised Smaug for the good work. Smaug weakly stood back up as Leon’s Charizard reverted to its normal form. the pair of them approached Liam and Smaug and Leon offered handshakes to each of them thanking them for the battle. Liam thanked Leon and his Charizard for the battle as well. The Charizards nodded toward one another in recognition of the other’s skill. Liam recalled Smaug and went back to his green room to heal Smaug before heading out to meet up with his friends.
