Galar Region, Wyndon Stadium.
The battle between Lance and Leon was nearing its end.
The three turns of Dynamax had passed. All that remained was a close-quarters brawl!
"Dragonite, Extreme Speed!"
Dragonite's form blurred in an instant, becoming a white streak that tore through the air. Moving too fast for the naked eye to follow, Dragonite slammed into Charizard first!
Leon clenched his fist and swung it. "Take it head-on! Dragon Claw!"
Bam-
Dragonite's Extreme Speed struck Charizard squarely in the stomach, sending out a visible ring of energy.
Charizard took the full force of Extreme Speed, both feet plowing furrows through the ground.
With Dragon-type energy coiling around both claws, Charizard retaliated with two vicious slashes across Dragonite's body.
They traded a blow apiece, both taking considerable damage.
Leon called out, "Charizard, use Air Slash!"
Charizard roared, wings shining white, and swiftly unleashed dozens of razor-sharp wind blades!
Lance called out, "Dragonite, cut them down with repeated Dragon Claws!"
Lance chose to meet the attack head-on. Dragonite's claws also glowed green as Dragonite charged into the wind blades.
The target was none other than Charizard!
Bam-bam-
But this time, Charizard had unleashed too many wind blades, and they were far too sharp.
Dragonite failed to close the distance and instead took two Air Slashes head-on.
Both Pokémon were running on fumes, like candles flickering in the wind.
Lance grinned. "Dragonite, Roost!"
Dragonite landed, warm white light spreading across Dragonite's body as a substantial amount of stamina was restored.
But while using Roost, Dragonite would briefly lose the Flying type.
Or, more precisely, having to land made Ground-type moves much easier to hit with.
And Leon seized that opening with perfect timing.
"Charizard, Earthquake!"
Leon issued the command at the precise instant Dragonite landed and lost the Flying type.
