PS37: Raihan, a True Dragon-Type Rival!

PS37 (Finals III): Raihan, a True Dragon-Type Rival!

Gigantamax Inteleon vs Gigantamax Duraludon

PS37's Documented "Plot"

After a quick rotation (via Pokemon Box Link), Challenger Michael stepped onto the pitch where Gym Leader Raihan awaits + a massive crowd watching.

Raihan commented on how fascinating it is for a trainer endorsed by his rival to make it all the way to the final round, although Raihan is aiming to show he can be better if he's gonna defeat Champion Leon. While Challenger Michael is feeling great for how far he reached, he informs Champion Leon's rival that he must win to see if he became strong enough to face the undefeated Galar Champion as their match begins.

Although Raihan's Torkoal defeated Michael's Dracovish & Urshifu, Michael's Mr. Mime succeeds in taking out Torkoal then went on to defeat Raihan's Turtonator & Goodra until it fell to his Flygon. After Michael's Grimmsnarl defeats Flygon, it fell to Raihan's Gigantamax Duraludon. A Gigantamax Pokemon battle between Inteleon & Duraludon ended with the former emerging victorious, giving Challenger Michael the win.

After Michael & Raihan gave thanks to each other for their final match, the latter asked the former to keep up the momentum & prove that Champion Leon's not unbeatable, which the former understood.

Back in the locker room, Hop (& his Cinderace) met up with Michael to congratulate him for earn the chance to face his big brother. As Michael felt proud for that to happen, Hop started to ponder about who shall he cheer on since it's a showdown between his rival (Michael) & his brother (Leon). After some encouragement from his Cinderace, Hop informs Michael that he'll be cheering for both sides but he'd like for his rival to beat the undefeated Galar Champion.

After Hop & his Cinderace departed back to the stands, Michael proudly vows to fulfill another promise as he's now able to face Galar Champion Leon himself.
