A Flood of Torrential Gains!
Following an emergency communication from Project Mew, Goh is off to Hoenn, while Ash battles Leon in the Masters Eight Tournament finals. It’s a six-on-six Full Battle, and although each Trainer can typically use Dynamax, a Z-Move, or Mega Evolution only once, Leon insists that Ash use all three. Leon first sends out his Cinderace, who spars with Pikachu, and then Leon’s Inteleon battles Ash’s Gengar. After Gigantamaxing, Gengar takes down Inteleon, but Leon’s Mr. Rime manages to defeat it. Ash and Leon are now back on equal footing, and this massive battle promises to keep going strong!
Season 25 – Episode 36
Toying With Your Motions!
The Pokémon World Coronation Series Masters Eight Tournament is currently in its dazzling final round, and both Ash and Leon are waging an extraordinary battle, displaying powerful and creative back-and-forth strategies. But soon, Ash realizes that every time he takes the lead, his opponent never fails to catch up! After Mega Lucario takes down Leon’s Mr. Rime, it struggles against Dragapult, so Ash switches in Dracovish instead. Dragapult’s Dragon Tail attack causes Ash’s Pokémon to switch in and out until Dragonite is on the field. With a powerful Dragonite Meteor attack, Ash scores another win, and the battle continues!
Season 25 – Episode 37

During the finals of the Pokémon World Coronation Series Masters Eight Tournament, Ash and Leon continue to enjoy their fierce battle! Noticing the match’s back-and-forth rhythm, Dawn points out that both Champions have similar battling styles. The battle action is as intense as can be. First, Leon’s Rillaboom takes down Ash’s Dragonite and Sirfetch’d, but Dracovish gets revenge. Then, Leon brings out Cinderace, who eliminates Dracovish. With Ash down to only Pikachu, Leon switches in his Charizard, who was his first partner Pokémon, just like Pikachu was Ash’s. After Gigantamaxing, Charizard attacks, while Ash and Pikachu counter with a Z-Move—and the combined power causes Eternatus to appear! But why?
