The World Coronation Series' ultimate match — Ash Ketchum versus Leon, six-on-six, Wyndon Stadium — and the battle that made Ash Monarch of Masters 8 and, at last, a Pokémon Master.
Twenty-six years of losses were answered here. Ash walked into Wyndon as a challenger and walked out Monarch of the World Coronation Series. Pikachu beat Leon's undefeated Gigantamax Charizard. Leon smiled, shook Ash's hand, and asked for a rematch. Delia watched from Pallet on television and did not cry. Nobody believed it until the referee's flag.
Wyndon Stadium packed to capacity, Dynamax Band glowing on both trainers, a reinforced pitch ringed in red-and-gold banners, the scoreboard flashing down to the final one-on-one: Ash's Pikachu versus Leon's Charizard. Thunder. Fire. A Gigantamax Charizard filling half the stadium. A 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt.
