The scene has moved to Wyndon Stadium all the way back in Galar as Leon enters the stadium, fans cheering at the sight of him.
"Hello again, fans! Man, ever since the first Galarian Star Tournament, this scene has been booming! Trainers from all across the worlds have been gathering to test their mettle on this stage, and now 8 pairs from the Brave Adventurers and Reformed Society have been wanting to give this tournament another go! Same rules apply. Each trainer uses three Pokemon, and the side that knocks out all of the opposing team's Pokemon is the winner. However, this time around, this tournament is going to be handled a little differently." Leon said. "You'll see what I mean once we go into this. For now, let's introduce our pairings!"
Pair 1: Toya Orbert and Agito Yuuki
Pair 2: Himeno Akatsuki and Tsumugi Shirogane
Pair 3: David Ishihara and Sectonia
Pair 4: Lloyd Irving and Genis Sage
Pair 5: Jude Mathis and Leia Rolando
Pair 6: Mayumi Kirishima and Cia
Pair 7: Cheetah and Belladonna
Pair 8: Jessica Albert and Riesz
"These eight pairs are going to battle it out for the title of the Strongest Pair in Galar, so let's get ready for some white-hot battles!" Leon said as the crowd cheered in anticipation for the first battle.
