Champion! Cynthia! (Double Chapter, Please Vote!)

"How did you come all the way from the Galar Region?"

Seeing Leon's stunned expression, Jing He could not help asking.

Leon glanced at the enormous Giratina, then at Jing He and Gengar riding on its back. He inwardly marveled at the strength of Teacher Jing He's "network." As expected of the legendary "Legendary Man."

He had merely gotten lost once, yet Jing He had called over a Legendary Pokémon. This was...

Far too welcoming. Far too much importance placed on him!

After hearing Jing He's question, Leon slowly came back to his senses.

"I missed Teacher Jing He's Victory Road last time, so I watched it with my master. This time, for Miss Cynthia's Victory Road, I wanted to experience it in person."

The Galar Region had no such thing as Victory Road. Other than the Champion, it did not appoint an Elite Four, and Chairman Rose could be said to hold all the power.

But that did not stop Leon from wanting to challenge for the Champion title.

To become the Galar League Champion, one had to win the Champion Challenge Tournament before earning the right to challenge the reigning Champion.

Thus, Leon was preparing not only for the Pokémon World Coronation Series, but also for the Galar Region's Champion Challenge Tournament.

So he had come to Sinnoh to learn a thing or two.

On one hand, he wanted to watch how Cynthia challenged the Elite Four. On the other, he hoped to battle her after her Victory Road was over.

Jing He nodded in realization.

"Your Champion Challenge Tournament is starting soon too, right?"

Leon had risen to fame at a young age, making a name for himself in the Galar Region early on. At just ten years old, he had won the Galar League tournament championship.
