After the encounters with Team Yell at the Budew Drop Inn, we get some rest and the time has finally arrived. We enter the stadium and we get changed onto our brand new uniform!
We ceremony begins and we are introduced to 7 of the 8 gym leaders we will battle over time. Note that a few of these gym leaders you meet and encounter depends on which version you play.
Afterwards we get access to the "Flying Taxi" services that replaces the HM02 Fly usage from previous games. We use this to take a quick detour to Wedgehurst Train Station.
Here we meet some fancy trainer and then a Galarian Slowpoke appears. This one came from the Isle of Armor, the first DLC area. We catch this new Slowpoke. We will go to this new area later.
Back at Motostoke, we head towards the west gate where we battle Hop again. He has the same team as last time (Wooloo, Rookidee and starter weak to your starter).

Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield are 2019 role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch.
They are the first installments in the eighth generation of the Pokémon video game series and the second in the series, after Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, to be released on a home game console.
Originally teased at E3 2017 and announced in February 2019, Pokémon Sword and Shield were released on November 15, 2019.
Sword and Shield's concept planning began immediately following the completion of Pokémon Sun and Moon in 2016, while full production began a year later in September 2017.
Like previous installments, they chronicle the journey of a young Pokémon trainer aiming to become the Pokémon Champion, this time in the new Galar region, which is based on the United Kingdom.
The main objective of the games is to dethrone the Pokémon League Champion, Leon, in a tournament that various other Gym Leaders and rivals also take part in, whilst dealing with Team Yell and a nefarious conspiracy within the League.
Sword and Shield introduce 81 new Pokémon alongside 13 regional variants of pre-existing Pokémon; Dynamaxing, which increases the size of Pokémon under certain conditions;
Gigantamaxing, which additionally changes the form of certain Pokémon; and the Wild Area, which is a large, open-world area with free camera movement that contains co-op raid battles.
The two games also reintroduce features previously seen in Sun and Moon and Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, such as regional variants and roaming Pokémon depicted in the overworld.
The decision to not include all pre-existing Pokémon in Sword and Shield was met with backlash from a segment of the fan community, resulting in a controversy known as "Dexit" and calls for a boycott months ahead of their release.
Despite this, Sword and Shield received generally positive reviews from critics. Particular praise was aimed at the creature design, new features, and the emphasis on simplicity,
player freedom, and streamlined encounters, although some criticized the game's smaller Pokédex and a perceived lack of polish or depth. By June 2020, Sword and Shield had sold more than 18 million copies worldwide,
becoming the fastest-selling games on the Nintendo Switch, and are currently the fifth-best-selling games on the Switch.
The games are receiving downloadable content through an expansion pass with The Isle of Armor arriving in June 2020 and The Crown Tundra in late 2020.
Sword and Shield take place in the Galar region, a large, narrow expanse of land and one of many regions in the Pokémon world. Game director Shigeru Ohmori described it as a more modern setting.
The region itself is inspired by Great Britain, with its many landmarks resembling places such as the Houses of Parliament and the Cerne Abbas Giant. Within the Galar region lie countryside towns featuring cottages and Victorian architecture to the south.
An Industrial Revolution-like city with steampunk-style elements populates the center of the region. Many of the region's towns and cities feature Pokémon Gyms stylized like football stadiums,
which show off both Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing, implemented by the Galar Pokémon League Chairman, Rose.
Like with Pokémon Sun and Moon, Pokémon previously introduced in older games, such as Weezing, gain regional Galarian Forms with new typings, stats, and appearances. Some Pokémon, such as Linoone, even gain regional evolutions.
