==Plot==
A Flying Taxi is seen flying off in the sky when the driver notes how the wind feels great. He informs the passenger who is revealed to be [[Leon]] that they are arriving soon, addressing him as Champion. Leon corrects him saying that he is the former Champion now, having been defeated.

On the [[Isle of Armor]], a Galarian Slowpoke is seen relaxing on a beach with a Wailord out on the ocean, [[Avery]] is seen levitating his opponent requesting for another battle while an Alola Diglett pops out from the ground, [[Klara]] is seen hunting for Max Mushrooms where she gets scared by an Amoonguss and mistakes it for a Max Mushroom. [[Honey]] is seen sweeping outside the [[Master Dojo]] with a Squirtle and Bulbasaur helping her out before noticing someone has come to visit. The visitor then pushes the door open and [[Mustard]] greets them, who is revealed to be Leon saying that it has been a while since he last visited which Leon agrees that it has been a while, greeting his master. Honey is then seen serving the Taxi Driver who is resting outside the Master Dojo some tea, he takes a sip when a loud explosion is heard in the [[Battle Court]] behind the dojo. The driver spits out the tea out of shock from the explosion, while Avery and Klara wondering what is happening after hearing the explosion. Leon's Charizard and Mustard's Mienshao are seen facing off on a burning battlefield before Mustard ends the match. Leon is impressed by his master's strength while Mustard says that Leon has grown stronger, but Leon denies it saying that he still has much to learn. Mustard says that having a strong rival will help one become stronger and reach new heights which he looks forward to battling all out. Leon takes out an envelope and chuckles, noting that his master already knew his plans. A Kubfu was seen on the mountain looking at Leon and Mustard when Mustard asks what does Leon plan to do next, Leon explains that he is off to visit some strong trainers and then flies off to send out the invitation letters.

[[Milo]] is seen rolling haystacks with his Wooloo, [[Kabu]] is seen jogging with his Centiskorch, [[Nessa]] doing her modeling work, [[Bea]] relaxing at the cafe with her friends, [[Allister]] with his mask off looking at the moonlit night, [[Gordie]] resting at home, [[Melony]] relaxing at the bath, [[Bede]] performing for [[Opal]], [[Marnie]] cheering her brother, and [[Piers]] sitting on the stage with the Maximizers. [[Sonia]] looks through documents for her research when [[Hop]] comes back having enquiring about his report, [[Professor Magnolia]] playing with Sonia's Yamper, [[Raihan]] asking to himself if a certain someone would be there too. The Flying Taxi is seen leaving [[Hammerlocke]] when the driver asks Leon where they are heading off to next, Leon chuckles before reaching for his pockets.

On a train traveling towards the [[Crown Tundra]], a person wakes up to a phone call by Leon while seeing [[Peony]] chasing after his daughter [[Peonia]], while silhouettes of a Kabutops, Tyrantrum, and Aurorus are seen outside. A Galarian Moltres flies over the sky, a Galarian Zapdos running through the snowy fields, and a Galarian Articuno levitating in the sky. Various people and Pokémon are seen outside [[Wyndon Stadium]] enjoying the festival. A Cinderace is seen juggling and kicking a ball of fireworks into the sky. Spectators in the stadium watch the fireworks happily while [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]] look on from the side. The spotlight then shines on Leon who gives his speech, saying that brave challengers from all of Galar have gathered here and he has spent his whole life battling himself in order to become the greatest Trainer. Throughout his battles, he realized that with a proper rival to battle with, one can go much further and get stronger. After taking over the running of the Pokémon League from Chairman [[Rose]], he wants to bring even more thrilling battles to the wonderful Galar region. The Gym Leaders of Galar, Hop, Mustard, and Peony are seen walking out onto the field before Leon declares the [[Galarian Star Tournament]] open. A person then walks in with Leon inviting them to have more amazing battles.
