"Well, let's pay Kurt a visit," Liam said. As he started to leave he felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Excuse me, young man." a voice said. It belonged to a man with a thin mustache. "You seem like a fine young trainer, I'm going to let you in on a secret."
"Liam knowing full well that this was a con man known to fool unsuspecting people into buying very weak pokemon for a large sum of Pokedollars, decided to humor the guy and see what kind of scam he is pulling.
"So, what is this secret?" Liam asked. "I overheard you saying something about going to this city's fine gym for a battle. But, what you need to help you against Bugsy is a great flying-type. I have such a thing right here." He held up a cage with a Hopip that was green, but not the right shade of green to be shiny. "This here is a Hopip. While they are fairly common here in Johto, it is rare in the fact that it has an unusual coloration. A very rare phenomna that only happens in around one out of every 10,000 Pokemon. I can part with this rare beauty for a low, low sum of 800 Pokedollars. For an extra 1,000 I will throw in a custom painted pokeballs to match the unusual coloration of this Pokemon's final evolution of Salamance. That's right! this little green ball turns into a powerful dragon, believe it or not!"

"Really, this little guy becomes a dragon?" Liam said in mock excitement.
"Yes! now, what do you say? Shall I wrap this shiny Hopip up for you today?"
It was at this point Liam dropped the facade. "You realize you're talking to not just a regional Champion, but this region's Champion, right? I know full well that Hopip doesn't become a Salamance. Ontop of that," Liam reached into the cage and rubbed the Hopip's head. "This Pokemon is only painted green, and it's not the right shade of green to be shiny." Liam yanked the cage away from him. "I want you to get out, and don't let me catch you selling Pokemon again"
The salesman quickly fled from the Pokemon Center. Liam washed the Hopip off and released it into the wild.
"So, shall we get going?"

Once at the destination town, Liam made a team adjustment. He checked his Rotomphone. "We have some time, want to go see Kurt and get some more Appricorn Balls?"

"I will be after a quick pit stop at the Azalea Pokemon Center," Liam said.

"Well, I'll have to go to Azalea Town," Liam said.

"That is a throw back," Liam commented. "Looks like we will be taking detours." Liam said. "Let's see, I should probably bring some fire power to my match." Liam was trying to determine who to bring for the fight.

Liam's Rotomphone chirped. "A World Coronation Battle has been scheduled!"
"That was quick," Liam thought aloud. He checked the message, "Oh, its Bugsy. It's been a hot minute since I've seen him." Liam said.

Liam has also reached Ultra Class in the World Coronation

"We still have some time before the tourny, we can delay going to Hammerlocke for a bit," Liam commented. His Rotomphone pinged to inform him of another compeitior in the World Coronation. Liam managed to win using Beckham and Duraladon, moving up to rank 86, and going to the Ultra Class.

"Well, now we have just one more badge in Galar to obtain" Liam said.

Liam went next. Piers called on a Scrafty. Liam called on Jiraiya the Greninja. Liam called for Double Team. He became a normal-type due to Protean and made many duplicates of himself. Scrafty used Scary Face to give Jiraiya a debuff.
"Hi Jump Kick!" Piers called.
"Jump, Jiraiya!" Liam called. The Greninja changed to a flying-type and leapt into the air, causing Scrafty to miss and crash. Jiriya did am aerial flip and landed Bounce on Scrafty, landing on its back, KO'ing it.

Next, Pierce recalled Scrafty and sent out Skuntank.
"Jiraiya, go underground!" The Greninja did so and avoided the Night Slash. He then leapt out of the ground with an uppercut, dealing a super effective hit. Skuntank retailaited with another Night Slash.
"Use, Water Shuriken!" Liam called. Jiriya launched the stars of water, becoming Water-type in the process. This was a critical hit. Piers called for Toxic. Liam called for Gunk Shot, but was too slow. Jiriya was badly poisoned.
(Toxic 1)
"U Turn!" Liam called. The Greninja became Bug-type and smacked Skuntank before swapping out for Slushie the Alolan Sandslash.
"Night Slash!"
"Defense Curl!" Slushie rolled up into a spiny ball and cushioned the blow.
"Now, Earthquake!" Slushie leapt into the air and spun in a corckscrew jabbing the ground with his claw, making a great tremor, and KO'ing Skuntank. Malamar took it's place.
"Topsy Turvey" Piers said with a strum of his guitar. Slushie's Def became -1 instead of +1 as Slushie Used X Scissor, dealing considerable damage.
"Malamar, put on your light show" Piers said.
Liam remebering what this did in his research called out to Slushie to close his eyes. Liam blocked his line of sight of Malamar as he fished into his pocket for a Z crystal, plugging it in. He activated the Z Ring and struck the proper poses.
"Alright, since there's no Dynamax here, let's show Piers how they do things in your homeland, Slushie." "From the heart of Po Town, Use Savage Spin-out!" Slushie pointed at Malamar as strong threads issued forth, cacooning Malamar and blocking the lights. Slushie then spun into the caccooned pokemon, causing an explosion. Malamar was KO'd.

He sent out his last Pokemon, Obstegoon.
"Slushie, Brick Break!" Liam called. Slushie charged in to deal the double super effective attack. Piers simply said Counter and reflected the damage back, defeating Slushie. Liam praised Slushie for the attempt and recalled it. Liam sent out Beckham next.
"Beck, use Agility!" The Cinderace upped its speed by dashing along the arena, managing to avoid a Throat Chop.
"Pyro Ball!" Liam called. Beckham used his signature move and scored a direct hit and getting the burn. This time, Throat chop scored a critical hit, leaving Beckham gasping for breath. Obstagoon then used Cross Chop while Beckham was stunned. When he was able to move again, he used Pyro Ball. Obstagoon used Counter and knocked Beckham to low enough that Blaze activated.
"Now, Night Slash before it can use another fire move" Piers ordered.
Liam smirked, "Reversal!" Beckham did a lunging tackle at Onstagoon knocking it to the ground. Beckham then kicked off of it in a backflip, ending with kicking a rock into Obstagoon's head, KO'ing it and giving Liam the badge.
