ASH: "TURNING THE OTHER MASK!"

MOLAYNE: You mean to tell me you came all this

way to see me for that?

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Laugh all you want. It's not funny to me.

MOLAYNE: Right. Sorry. All right. Let's see...

MOLAYNE: You're stuck with going to the Masked

Royal's meet and greet at the Melemele shopping mall.

MOLAYNE: And you're doing it all with Professor Burnet

and Ash in tow.

MOLAYNE: Even though you're the Masked Royal.

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Right. And on top of that, Burnet's

especially psyched about us going together...

MOLAYNE: I'm amazed she hasn't figured you out by now.

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Well... There were a few close calls

where I thought I was totally busted for sure...

PROFESSOR KUKUI: En-joy!

PROFESSOR BURNET: Dinner's ready...

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Coming!

PIKACHU: [WATCHING]

PROFESSOR BURNET: You look just like him!

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Somehow, she hasn't figured it out yet.

And I'm afraid the opportunity to fill her in is long gone.

PROFESSOR KUKUI: She says...

PROFESSOR BURNET: The Masked Royal is so strong

and kind and so cool! He's almost too good to be true.

PROFESSOR BURNET: That's why you've got to meet him in

person! You've just got to!

PROFESSOR BURNET: My hero and my dear husband... It's like I have

two Charming Princes in my life!

PROFESSOR KUKUI: I feel like I might ruin it for

her if I let her know.

MOLAYNE: At the event...

MOLAYNE: When it's Professor Burnet's turn to meet him,

the Masked Royal will come up with an excuse to go backstage.

MOLAYNE: And that's when I'll borrow your mask. I'll appear

in front of Professor Burnet and shake her hand...

MOLAYNE: And you'll be by her side, watching all that happen.

When we're done, we'll go backstage,

and I'll switch back with you.

MOLAYNE: So how does that sound for a plan?

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Molayne! That's perfect!

MOLAYNE: It's all for my best friend.

MOLAYNE: Happy to help.

PROFESSOR BURNET: Amazing!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

ASH: It's like the real Battle Royal Dome!

ROTOM DEX: It's a mini-mini Battle Royal Dome!

MOLAYNE: Professor Burnet!

PROFESSOR BURNET: Molayne! What are you doing here?

MOLAYNE: Kukui can't make it until the last minute, right?

So he asked if I could come here and keep you company

until he finally arrives.

PROFESSOR BURNET: He sure went out of his way to

ask you that...

MOLAYNE: What a wonderful, caring husband you have.

PROFESSOR BURNET: We've got to hurry! Or all the

good seats will be gone!

ASH: Wait up!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

ROTOM DEX: We need to have good seats!

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

JESSIE: Where are all the hungry people

when you need them?

MEOWTH: They're all caught up in Masked Royal mania,

instead of massive malasada munching.

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JESSIE: Who can blame them?

They're going to see a superstar of the highest order.

MEOWTH: This may be the shortest business day ever recorded!

JAMES: Then I decree it's time for a break!

JESSIE: Be useful!

Pick me up something yummy from the food court...

JESSIE: Whoa. Zippy.

MASKED ROYAL: Incineroar! Bulk Up!

INCINEROAR: [BULK UP MOVE]

MASKED ROYAL: Darkest Lariat, go!

INCINEROAR: [DARKEST LARIAT MOVE]

ASH: Oh man, the Masked Royal is as cool as you can get!

PROFESSOR BURNET: He's the greatest!

TORRACAT: [ANGRY]

PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

ASH: Torracat? You've gotta stay calm while we're here. Okay?

TORRACAT: [FRUSTRATED]

INCINEROAR: [EXERTION]

INCINEROAR: [EXERTION]

JAMES: Go get 'em, Masked Rol, show them what for! Go! Go! Go!

FABA: Excuse me. Could you please keep it down?

JAMES: I'm so sorry...

JAMES/ FABA: What are you doing here?!

JAMES/ FABA: Will you please stop stealing my lines?

FABA: What in the world are you doing wearing that T-shirt?!

FABA: Your T-shirt is the one that the Masked Royal himself

took part in the production of! He took six months to design it,

and when it went on sale three months later,

it sold out in three minutes!

FABA: It's super rare.

JAMES: You mean this? I stood in line three days for it. Wait.

How do you know about all that?

JAMES: But how?

FABA: Seems like we have much in common, doesn't it?

JAMES: Which bout was your favorite?

FABA: Let's see...I think the recent Revengers match

was action-packed, to say the very least...

JAMES: Me, too! I had ringside seats for that fab fight-fest!

FABA: You're kidding! That match must have taken you over!

JAMES: Completely!

JAMES/ FABA: High-five!

MASKED ROYAL: En-joy!

JAMES/ FABA/ MALE CROWD MEMBER X/ FEMALE CROWD MEMBER/

KID CROWD MEMBER X : En-joy!

MASKED ROYAL: That's it for the demonstration. Now we're moving

on to the meet and greet!

ASH: A meet and greet! Hear that, Professor?

ASH: Something wrong?

PROFESSOR BURNET: What am I going to do?

PROFESSOR BURNET: I'm getting so nervous...

ROTOM DEX: Heart rate is rising. Heart rate is rising.

Heart rate is rising. Heart rate is rising.

PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]

TORRACAT: [CONFUSED]

PROFESSOR BURNET: Oh, no!

This is exactly why I wanted Kukui to come with me, because

I knew this would happen!

PROFESSOR BURNET: No, no, no, no, NO, NO!

ROTOM DEX: Professor Kukui is really late.

PROFESSOR BURNET: What is he doing?!

MAN BLUE SHIRT: Good luck, Masked Royal!

MASKED ROYAL: Thanks very much!

MASKED ROYAL: Let's see who's next...

ASH: Masked Royal!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

ASH: Shake my hand, please?

MASKED ROYAL: Ash, how are you? Great! Thanks for coming by!

MASKED ROYAL: Of course, that means...

MOLAYNE: Go ahead.

MASKED ROYAL: Got it!

MASKED ROYAL: Okay! It's time for a break!

MASKED ROYAL: I'll be right back! Everyone, please royally

relax until I get back!

TORRACAT: [DESPERATE]

MOLAYNE: I'm going to go royally relax, too!

PROFESSOR BURNET: What? What's going on now?

FABA: It seems like the Masked Royal's taking a little break.

JAMES: If I dawdle any longer, then Jessie

is going to yell at me.

FABA: Are you in a rush?

JAMES: Let's just say the sooner I get back to work,

the better it is for my health...

FABA: Let me be frank.

JAMES: Gadzooks! You know the Masked Royal personally...

FABA: Keep your voice down!

JAMES: That's simply amazing!

FABA: Tell you what I'm going to do.

FABA: I can get you a meet and greet with him privately

in the back without having to endure this line.

JAMES: Really? Well, if you can get us into his dressing room,

do you think I could possibly ask him for his autograph?

FABA: Sure! Consider it done!

PROFESSOR KUKUI: I'm really sorry for asking you to do this.

MOLAYNE: I told you.

I'll do anything I can for my best friend. No worries!

MOLAYNE: You sure you want to go through with this, Kukui?

MOLAYNE: You do realize Professor Burnet isn't going

to be shaking hands with the real Masked Royal...

MOLAYNE: Then I'm going to the dressing

room to get changed, okay.

MOLAYNE: You go and meet up with your wife,

all right, buddy? Bye!

PROFESSOR KUKUI: All right.

FABA: Let's see. His dressing room...

FABA: See the mask?

JAMES: The very one the Masked Royal wears.

Could that have been him?!

FABA: No, no! That's someone else! Probably just a Masked

Royal fan who likes to cosplay as him for fun.

JAMES: Cosplay for fun?

JAMES: That mask is the version he started using at the recent

singles match! The horns are slightly longer than the usual

version and there's more space around the mouth!

The fabric is stretchier and more breathable, and on top

of that, it's heat resistant!

JAMES: That means...

FABA: Means what?

MOLAYNE: Here we go. I realize I said I'd help Kukui out,

but I certainly wasn't expecting all this.

MOLAYNE: En-joy!

MOLAYNE: Well, I've got a fighting chance, as long

as I wear the robe...

MASKED ROYAL/ FABA/ MOLAYNE: "Who's that Pokémon?"

MASKED ROYAL/ FABA/ MOLAYNE: "It's Wobbuffet!"

ASH: The Masked Royal sure is late.

ROTOM DEX: And Mister Molayne hasn't come back either.

PROFESSOR BURNET: And Kukui still hasn't shown up yet...

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Hey!

PIKACHU/ TORRACAT: [QUESTIONING]

ROTOM DEX: It's Professor Kukui!

PROFESSOR BURNET: You're late!

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Sorry about that. Where's the Masked Royal?

ASH: He went on break and hasn't come back yet.

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Well, that makes sense. It's always

important to take a break from anything you're doing.

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Once he's rested, I'm sure

he'll come back around...

MAD MAGMAR: Masked Royal!

MAD MAGMAR: Get out here!

MAD MAGMAR: I've come back from the depths of darkness with one

goal in mind: to defeat you!

MOLAYNE: What are you doing? HELP ME!

JAMES: The nerve of you trying to steal the Masked

Royal's magical mask...

JAMES: Would you like it if it was stolen from you?!

FABA: I think not!

FABA: It'll be in good hands if I'm the one who holds onto it!

JAMES: 'Scuse !

If I hang onto it, I'll keep it safe and secure!

FABA: My hands are the only hands that are

safe and secure hands!

JAMES: It will only be lovingly and royally secure

under my constant care!

MOLAYNE: Oh, my stars and streamers...

WOMAN: [SCREAM]

MAD MAGMAR: Show yourself, Masked Royal!

Come out and fight me again!

MAGMORTAR: [EXERTION]

MAD MAGMAR: If you don't want to end up like that, don't move!

ROTOM DEX: He's taking the crowd hostage!

PROFESSOR KUKUI: You're a coward, Mad Magmar!

ASH: The professor's right!

PIKACHU: [ANGRY]

TORRACAT: [ANGRY]

MAD MAGMAR: Silence! If you get in my way...

MAD MAGMAR: Magmortar's going to hit you with

a Fire Punch and blow you and this tent clean away!

MAD MAGMAR: Why won't you finally show yourself,

Masked Royal?! Is the little boy scared?

PROFESSOR BURNET: Why won't he show himself? Where is he?

PROFESSOR KUKUI: If only I had Incineroar's Poké Ball!

MAGMORTAR: [MOCKING]

JAMES: Mad Magmar!

He came all this way because he's still angry he lost...

JAMES: Where is the Masked Royal?

Why doesn't he show himself?

FABA: He couldn't show himself even if

he wanted to because we've got his mask and Poké Ball!

MAD MAGMAR: What a royal coward that loser is!

It seems that the only true winner is none

other than I, Mad Magmar!

JAMES: If you keep insulting the Masked Royal,

you will pay dearly!

MAD MAGMAR: What's that?

MAD MAGMAR: Who are you?!

JAMES: All right! Thank you for waiting patiently!

Presenting our real star!

JAMES: Today's true headliner, the hero of the Battle Royal

Dome! Yes! It's... the Masked... Royal!

FABA ROYAL: En-joy!

CROWD: En...joy?

ASH: Wait. That's the Masked Royal?

ROTOM DEX: His form's a bit different than usual.

FABA ROYAL: Oopsie ...

FABA ROYAL: All right, Mad Magmar! Bring it!

MAGMORTAR: [BEWILDERED]

FABA ROYAL: If you're not going to attack...In- cineroar!

INCINEROAR: [APPEARING] / [SHOCKED]

INCINEROAR: [CONFUSED]

FABA ROYAL: Now, Incineroar! Use Darkest Lariat!

INCINEROAR: [CONFUSED]

FABA ROYAL: I said Dark-est La-riat right now,

let's GO! Let's go!

INCINEROAR: [DETERMINED]

INCINEROAR: [DARKEST LARIAT MOVE]

JAMES: And there's Incineroar's Darkest Lariat!

MAD MAGMAR: All right, Magmortar, grab it and throw!

MAGMORTAR: [EXERTION]

MAGMORTAR: [EXERTION]

INCINEROAR: [SURPRISED] / [DISORIENTED] / [SCARED] /

[IMPACT]

JAMES: No! It just can't be! Are the Masked Royal

and Incineroar toast?!

JAMES: Stand up! Get up off of the floor!

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Are you okay?!

INCINEROAR: [DESPERATE]

FABA ROYAL: We're not down yet...

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Faba?

JAMES: Please get up!

MAD MAGMAR: What a complete and utter joke!

MAD MAGMAR: Trying to run away from me by using a fake Masked

Royal, eh? Just as I thought! The Masked Royal is a coward...

MAD MAGMAR: And a total loser!

PROFESSOR BURNET: No, that's not true!

PROFESSOR BURNET: The Masked Royal isn't a coward. No way!

The Masked Royal isn't a loser, either!

I'll tell you what he is.

PROFESSOR BURNET: The Masked Royal is the kindest, strongest,

and coolest person in Alola! No matter what you say!

ASH: That's right!

The Masked Royal isn't gonna lose to somebody like you!

PROFESSOR BURNET: No way!

MALE CROWD MEMBERS X/ BOY CROWD MEMBER/ CROWD:

That's right! You tell him!

ASH/ PROFESSOR BURNET: Masked Royal! Masked Royal!

Masked Royal!

JAMES: Masked Royal! Masked Royal! Masked Royal!

ROTOM DEX: Masked Royal! Masked Royal! Masked Royal!

PIKACHU/ TORRACAT: [CHANTING]

CROWD: Masked Royal! Masked Royal! Masked Royal! ...

INCINEROAR: [EXCITED]

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Incineroar...

MAD MAGMAR: Silence!!

MAD MAGMAR: The fact that he's not showing himself...is proof

he's an incompetent coward!

MAD MAGMAR: What's...happening?

MOLAYNE: Sorry I'm late, Kukui.

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Molayne!

MOLAYNE: It took me a while to wriggle out of the rope.

PROFESSOR KUKUI: The rope?

MAGNETON: [FOCUSED]

MOLAYNE: Never mind! Put on your mask!

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Right!

MAGNETON: [EXERTION]

MAD MAGMAR: What do you know?

MASKED ROYAL: Sorry for the delay...

JAMES: It's the Masked Royal!

ASH: All right, he's back!

MASKED ROYAL: Mad Magmar! You won't have your way any longer!

INCINEROAR: [AGREEMENT]

MASKED ROYAL: Why you... Magmortar, use Fire Punch!

MAGMORTAR: [FIRE PUNCH MOVE]

MASKED ROYAL: Incineroar, here we go... Get fired up!

And...incinerate the ring!

INCINEROAR: [ROARING]

MASKED ROYAL: Use Malicious Moonsault!

INCINEROAR: [MALICIOUS MOONSAULT MOVE]

JAMES: A splendid sight! It's Incineroar's Z-Move!

JAMES: The Masked Royal wins overwhelmingly!

MAD MAGMAR: How could you?! I'll remember this!

MAGMORTAR: [PANICKING]

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Alright, everybody after me! En-joy!

INCINEROAR: [AFFIRMATIVE]

CROWD: En-joy!

ASH: The Masked Royal is the best!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

PROFESSOR BURNET: Oh, wow... The Masked Royal...

MASKED ROYAL: Are you okay?

MASKED ROYAL: You're not injured, are you?

PROFESSOR BURNET: Me? I'm fine!

MASKED ROYAL: I heard you cheering me on before.

Thank you so much.

MASKED ROYAL: Okay, everyone!

MASKED ROYAL: Back to the meet and greet!

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Wait for me!

ASH: Professor Kukui!

ROTOM DEX: Where have you been?

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Let's see... Ah, Molayne! Right. Molayne.

I was saying goodbye to good ol' Molayne.

PROFESSOR BURNET: Does that mean you didn't get to witness

the special moment when I shook hands with the Masked Royal?

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Sorry...

PROFESSOR BURNET: Then listen to this!

PROFESSOR BURNET: He said...'thank you' to me!

Then he p his hand out... It was such a wonderful moment...

The Masked Royal is just the...

PROFESSOR KUKUI: The kindest, strongest, and coolest in Alola!

PROFESSOR BURNET: Exactly right!

TORRACAT: [STRETCHING]

MASKED ROYAL: Your cheering will be the foundation of my

absolute strength! Now let me hear it! Let me hear you cheer!

PROFESSOR BURNET: I love the Masked Royal! Uh-huh!

FABA: Here comes my counterattack! Hello?

FABA: Well, all right!!

MASKED ROYAL: En-joy!
