Galar Region, Wyndon Stadium.
When they saw that Leon's Charizard had fallen first,
the spectators froze in disbelief before erupting into cheers that shook the heavens.
The excitement and awe that had been building in Wyndon Stadium erupted like a volcano!
"Lance! Lance! Lance!"
The deafening cheers and applause nearly blew the roof off Wyndon Stadium.
Who could have imagined that last year's Master League Champion,

Lorelei knew Lance absolutely had the strength to defeat Leon. It was simply a question of how fiercely his fighting spirit burned.
Clearly, Lance had come prepared this time.
They were all happy for Lance, too.
All they could say was that
