And tomorrow is here. As I began my walk onto the turf, and the final fight between me and Leon, a feeling of pride in my own patience came over me, especially since I knew that this wasn't the end. Because, surprise surprise! The minute we walked onto the turf, right before the battle started, the huge monitors changed to a video of Chairman Rose, who said that today was the darkest day, before a huge pillar of energy erupted in the middle of the stadium. As soon as Leon and I were out, Hop ran up to us and asked what had happened. Leon said that he had no clue before going to find out. Hop then said that he had to help, and he and I went back to the Slumbering Weald to look for something that would help. Once we were there, we ran into Sonia and my mother, who, after a bit of explaining, Hop and I went into the weald.

It took me a few minutes to get to the end of the weald, where Hop and I then encountered Zamazenta once again, along with Zacian. Then they disappeared, allowing Sonia to come and tell us that she had found more on them, before we finally went into the end of the Slumbering Weald. Inside, we found a shrine with a rusty sword and shield, the latter of which I took, before Hop took the sword, and we once again left the mystical Slumbering Weald.

Once I was out, I flew all the way to Hammerlocke, where Raihan was standing outside the stadium. After all hellos were aside, Hop rushed in to help Leon, and I followed. Inside was Oleana and an employee, the former of whom begged for my help, explaining that Eternatus was the source of this and that if it wasn't stopped, the Galar region could be trampled by Dynamax Pokemon. So I went into the basement, where Chairman Rose was. After explaining what he had done and why he did it, a battle was initiated.

The first round between Octoling and Escavalier did not start off too well. In the first round, Escavalier managed to take a slash before executing a Megahorn, bringing Octoling to the yellow. Foul Play finished it, but Ferrothorn took a Psycho Cut and brought Octoling to 58 HP. Night Slash got a critical hit, but Iron Barbs brought Octoling within an inch of consciousness, so Slit & Slice went in to fight Klinklang. Setting up with Swords Dance, Slit & Slice took a Wild Charge before beginning to sweep with Night Slash. He took out Klinklang and Perserker easily, and took out Copperajah by Dynamaxing and using Max Darkness, winning in one hit.

With Rose defeated, I healed up my party and took the elevator up to the roof, where Leon, Charizard, Eternatus and Hop. Leon tried to catch Eternatus, but, after one shake, the Pokeball it was in exploded, and it came after me. Psycho Cut from Octoling sent it away, but it then proceeded to fly into the air, and, in a huge explosion of energy, had Eternemaxed. Hop and I tried to take it on, but with the energy it was storing, it was practically impossible. Then Hop suggested using the rusted weapons, and, after a few seconds, Zacian and Zamazenta came charging in to help. As they merged with their respective weapons, the battle really started. I started with Foul Play, which was good, considering the fact that Zacian went for Howl and lowered my attack stat. Luckily, Max Wyrmwind undid that, and the next turn, a Psycho Cut did a huge chunk of damage to Eternatus, more than everyone else's attacks combined. We had this! With another Psycho Cut, along with a preceding Behemoth Bash, and a pre-preceding Behemoth Blade, Eturnatus went down, and I caught it in a Dusk Ball. Zacian and Zamazenta finally flew away, and our fight was over.

Three in-game days passed, before the final champion match was scheduled to start. So, after getting out of the hotel, I made my way to Wyndon Stadium, and the final battle before my championship reign began.
