Chapter 37: Kouna vs Izenko

The match then begins as Dora turn around and her elvking to use vine whip, which also caused Tamaki Jr. to tell his flamgrel to counterattack with fire pledge. Tamaki then smirked at Dora as a long montage of the final round begins until it ends in the finals, with only Kouna and Izenko remaining. Meanwhile, in the audience, Hisashi is shocked to see his twin sister has made it this far before questioning his potential of becoming the number one hero in the world, causing Angela to tell him not to worry because he still number one on Harmony Island, which also caused Hisashi to thank her before thinking about how to make Kouna become his rival for the number 1 spot of the World Hero Billboard Awards.


Back on the battlefield, Izenko congratulated his cousin Kouna for making her way to the finals before telling her that if she wants to become champion of this year's sports festival, she has to go through him first, which also caused Kouna herself to smile mischievously before saying that she and Wanda been training ever since they started adopting starter monsters. Soon after Gentle and Labrava revealed the last descriptions for the festival, Izenko decided to reveal a fletchinder that he caught before the sports festival, causing Kouna to become amazed as he explains to her about his hardcore training with his two monsters. Kouna then told Izenko that it's nice before telling Wanda to use fire blitz, causing Izenko to tell his fletchinder (which he called it Fletcher) to use brave bird. The two monsters then began clashing as Izenko smirked, while Kouna just growls at him with a look of determination.


Izenko then recalled a flashback of himself training his flamgrel at the IHWO organization's monster battle stadium until he decided to go out and find more monsters to join his monster party. After defeating Deku's elvking in a monster battle, a montage begins as Izenko goes from Picnic Valley to Technodrome City just to find a monster until he encountered Fletchinder sitting on a tree next to the Midoriya mansion. Izenko then told his flamgrel to attack with flamethrower, causing the fletchinder itself top dodge it before attacking with air strike. Soon, Izenko clenched his fist and think for a moment before telling his flamgrel to dynamax much to the fletchinder's shocked as Izenko smile mischievously before telling his flamgrel to finish the fight with max flare, which knocks the fletchinder out. After Izenko finally captured the fletchinder, he named it Fletcher before taking it inside his uncle Izuku's mansion to get it healed up. Afterwards, Izenko complimented Fletcher for putting up a good fight before asking him to join his team so they can be powerful together, which caused everyone (expect the twins, who are still training with their monsters) to smile at them. After the flashback, Kouna told Wanda to use fire fang, causing Fletcher to get weaken as Izenko decided to let his flamgrel take his place for now. Kouna then gives Izenko a deadpan look before telling Wanda to use overheat, causing Izenko's flamgrel to get instantly knocked out much to his shocked as the crowd cheers.
