Cynthia has proved herself more than capable of winning in the last few battles. Her opponents have been run down to dust. In the new teaser, Ash’s pokemons seem to be receiving heavy damage from Cynthia.

Even Pikachu, Ash’s ultimate friend/weapon, is taking a heavy hit. The video portrays the fierce battle, and Ash is practically getting tossed around.

In the finals, Ash has to face Leon, the Galar League champion, also called the Monarch. He is the reigning winner and will be a tough opponent to beat.
