A retelling of Victor's and Hop's battle against Eternatus. Leon almost dies from Eternatus' explosion. Which puts his and Victor's battle on hold.
Victor's team is my Sword team.

Part 1
Defeating Rose had not been easy for Victor and Hop. Instead of stopping them, the Chairman let them pass. He even congratulated Victor for beating him. Roars filled the air as Victor and Hop stepped out of the elevator. The blackened sky pulsed above the pair, blasting down a miasma of thick air. Cries from the Dynamax Pokémon can still be heard even from this height. Turning towards Hop, Victor nodded. “I know that we all can win this.” Though he got a tingling sensation in his chest.
“Lee could handle this.” Hop ran up the stairs to the roof and stopped as he saw it. “This was…” Leon’s Charizard was engaged in battle a large skeletal otherworldly dragon. Despite towering over Charizard, the creature was severely damaged. This was Eternatus, the eldritch beast that Rose used to solve Galar’s energy crisis.
Just the sight of Eternatus made Victor shiver. Leon… I know you can. But we bring help. He took a step back as Eternatus let out an enraged unearthly roar. It breathed out a fatal blast of poison towards Leon.
Leon dodged the attack easily and yelled to Charizard. “Dragon Breath!” Eternatus let out an unearthly scream as it was blasted back by Charizard’s breath filled with Draconic energy. The attack did not manage to paralyse Eternatus.
“He has got this!” Hop smiled as his brother ordered Charizard to use Flamethrower. “Now we can call Zacian and Zamazenta.” He shut his eyes and paused for a moment. “Victor, I cannot reach them…”
“Strange.” Victor also could not reach the wolf. Didn’t the sword and shield mentally connect him and Hop to the wolves? “They should come. But looks like Leon has got this.” He was very amazed by the Champion standing up to Eternatus.
Charizard roared as he slashed the beast with glowing golden claws. He was covered in deep gashes. But the Fire/Flying-type ignored this. Charizard’s tail flame flared when the beast rose up. “So you can still fight? Bring it then!” His eyes darted to Victor and Hop. Charizard growled at Leon before facing Eternatus. “They have…”
“What? They are-” Leon turned towards them, frowning. “You came to help me in spite of the danger?” There was a hint of anger in the Champion’s tone. Leon would be, Victor told himself. He and Hop just show up when this beast needed to be dealt with. This was very dangerous for the young Gym Challengers.
“We had to come. So we all can stop this.” Victor flinched as the dragon sent out a purple beam of Dynamax energy, almost hitting them all. This creature was much dangerous than any Pokémon Victor had seen. “We got the sword and shield. To help you…” He stopped, noticing Leon’s look of scepticism. Yes, two gym challengers turn up with rusted weapons. I do not blame you, Leon. Victor gazed at the rusted sword. But they must be helpful.
“What are those going to do, Victor?” Despite his doubt, Leon remained focused on the threat. “You both should have not come. This is too dangerous.” Composing himself, Leon turned to Charizard. “Dragon Claw.”
“These will certainly help…” Victor told Leon, he started to feel unsure of these weapons. “But we heard the legends and decided to fight alongside you.”
“Still, it is foolish to show up.” Leon replied sternly. He looked down as he got out an Ultra Ball. “Eternatus has been worn down by Charizard and the rest of my champion team. Now if I can simply catch it and we should be able to get this madness under control.”
As Leon was about to throw the ball, the enraged Eternatus breathed hot flames at him. The Champion cried out as his body was scorched. He would burn to death, screaming in pain. “Leon… no…” Victor winced, he was frozen by shock watching Leon. He felt powerless to save the man who he respected.
“No!” Hop yelled as his brother tried to move away from the flames. He ran over to Leon, but Eternatus nearly hit him with its flames. Hop let out a scream as he dodged the blast, trembling as he looked at the Champion. “Lee! Please move-”
“Do not harm Leon!” Charizard roared as his eyes flashed in pure rage. His talons glowed with draconic energy and he blocked Eternatus’ flames. The beast cried out and looked towards Leon, who was still weakened from the attack.
“Stay back!” Leon ordered Victor and Hop when the flames around him died down. He was in a terrible state, burns covered the Champion’s body. Apart from his cape, the fire had burned holes in his clothes. “I must…” Leon muttered, determined to stop Eternatus. “Breaking Swipe!” He ordered Charizard who struck Eternatus with his tail. Leon threw the Ultra Ball and caught Eternatus. Though relieved that the beast had been subdued, Leon grimaced as the nasty looking burns pained him.
Eyes narrowing as the ball shook, Leon turned towards his partner. “Charizard, protect Victor and Hop.” Charizard’s eyes flashed with fear, but he did so. Charizard held out his wings over Victor and Hop, looking back at Leon who was too weak to move.
An ear-spitting explosion came from the Ultra Ball. Victor winced as the shockwave flew towards them. His heart pounded, was this the end? No, it can’t… Victor jerked his arms to shield his face, hopeful that he would not get blown to bits.
“Both of you… Hold on.” Charizard growled as he grabbed both of them. The rush of energy passed over them, weakening Charizard.
“Hop…” Victor’s mind shifted to his best friend. He was breathing rapidly as the shock left him. “Hey, it’s over.” Victor gently told him. Hop’s look eased as he heard Victor’s words.
“Hop, Victor… You both not too shaken?” Charizard growled as he staggered, worn out from intense fighting.
“No…” Victor looked up, gasping as he recovered. Thanks to Charizard, he and Hop were unharmed. But Eternatus had freed itself. “But Leon had-” Victor froze as the beast roared, about to lunge. He took a step back, lost for words.
“Vic!” Hop cried out which got his attention. He trembled at what he saw. “Lee has-” Victor recovered from the shock and saw that Leon had been knocked down. The sight that they saw horrified them both. The man who was unbeatable laid burnt and bleeding in front of them.
Was he still conscious? Victor ran towards the fallen Champion, cursing. “Damn it! Leon, please-hang-” He had focused on protecting him and Hop, even if he would fall. Victor yelled to Eternatus as it roared. “You see what you have done!”
“Lee!” Raw panic filled Hop’s eyes and his voice was thick with fear. “No, don’t di-” He threw himself beside his injured brother. “L-Lee, why? I can’t-” Hop choked as the tears escaped from his eyes. “-live without you…”
“Hey…” Leon weakly breathed and smiled at Hop. “You… can… live…” Straining to get up, Leon glared at Eternatus. “Do… not… think…” Not matter how hard the Champion tried, he just collapsed. “About…” He grimaced from the severe pain which weakened him.
The beast loomed over them, about to strike. Victor released Dover and told him to distract Eternatus. “Hey, Leon-” Victor cried as Leon tried to push himself up. himself to get up. “-stop, you can’t…” The Champion fell back down, groaning weakly.
“Leon!” Charizard lifted up his fallen trainer’s head. “Hey, hold on.” He growled as he nudged Leon with his talon. “You are strong, partner. Though you are in bad shape.”
“Yes… But…” Leon breathed weakly and looked at Charizard. He coughed up a large amount of blood as he spoke. “Do… not… worry… get Victor… and Hop…” Charizard softly growled at Leon’s request, looking at Victor and Hop.
“Lee…” Hop does not move as he looked at his brother. “I don’t-”
“Without you-” Victor began, unable to take the sight of the state of Leon. He want to turn away and not see the blood.
The Champion was holding on to consciousness, but Leon was slipping away. “Victor… Hop…” He whispered, gasping as he looked at the pair. “You… two… get…” Leon tried to stand back up, but collapsed in the pool of blood.
“Lee, please don’t…” Hop took Leon’s hand. As his brother struggled to stand, he cried out. “No, you are going to-”
“Hold on, please Leon.” Victor whispered as he tried to gather his thoughts. He should not be in this state…. What can be done now? Victor cannot turn away from Leon. The Champion laid motionless, broken and bleeding. Zacian, Zamazenta. We really need you both right now. Leon, Galar’s Champion is injured and the Darkest Day has returned.
A retelling of Victor's and Hop's battle against Eternatus. Leon almost dies from Eternatus' explosion. Which puts his and Victor's battle on hold.
