The {{an|Professor Kukui|Masked Royal}} and his {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}} are about to earn their twentieth consecutive victory, but they have to deal with three other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s first. {{Rotom}} explains to Ash that a Battle Royal is an Alolan tradition, where four opponents have a free-for-all battle. After Incineroar withstands attacks from {{p|Machamp}}, {{p|Primarina}}, and {{p|Decidueye}}, the Masked Royal uses his [[Z-Ring]] to use Incineroar's powerful {{m|Malicious Moonsault}}. The attack knocks all three opponents out, earning the pair their twentieth win. [[Professor Burnet]] arrives home, just as the Masked Royal announces that Trainers can challenge him in person tomorrow. | ||
The next day, Ash arrives at the [[Battle Royal Dome]] on [[Akala Island]] where he catches up with all of his classmates. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is on the scene and their food truck business is slow. They overhear a man calling for a Battle Royal host and gladly volunteer themselves. Ash and his friends have since made it to their seats, just as the Masked Royal's appearance is announced. His Incineroar somersaults into the ring before {{MTR}} calls for any battle volunteers. The crowd all enthusiastically put them hands up, however {{AP|Litten}} jumps ahead to confront Incineroar. Ash is close behind to return his Pokémon. Team Rocket almost give away their host disguises and are frustrated by Ash's presence. Litten smells the Masked Royal and instantly recognises him, to which the Masked Royal smiles back and offers Ash and Litten a position in the first round. The Masked Royal asks if Ash has brought friends with him, and with that {{an|Kiawe}} alongside {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} and {{an|Sophocles}} with {{TP|Sophocles|Charjabug}} also enter the match up. | The next day, Ash arrives at the [[Battle Royal Dome]] on [[Akala Island]] where he catches up with all of his classmates.

At night, Professor Kukui and Ash observe Litten practicing on the beach. Kukui notes that Litten's wild side may have been activated by seeing its final evolution in action. Ash, Rotom, {{AP|Lycanroc}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} join Litten to help it train for another match against Incineroar. Ash observes Lycanroc and Litten's tail movement, similar to those seen when Lycanroc was still a {{p|Rockruff}}. Rotom suggests the movement may be a sign that Litten is about to learn {{m|Flame Charge}}; a move that increases a Pokémon's speed stat. Ash announces it is time for some special training, and has Litten over several days improve its agility and speed through various exercises like sparring with Lycanroc to master Flame Charge. Ash and his friends watch on in anticipation, however Litten still cannot use Flame Charge. Suddenly the Masked Royal and his Incineroar arrive on the scene, and are met with surprise and fanfare. The Masked Royal challenges Ash and Litten to a match, and they gladly accept. | At night, Professor Kukui and Ash observe Litten practicing on the beach.

Litten gets back up and fires an Ember attack, though it is blocked by Incineroar's fire belt. Incineroar then rushes in with a Cross Chop and Litten goes in with an underdeveloped Flame Charge before being hit back again. Ash commands Litten to use Flame Charge once more, this time the flame surrounds it whole body. Incineroar catches Litten, though with Ash's encouragement it breaks free in a ball of fire. It lands on the ground, and amongst the flames Litten evolves into {{p|Torracat}}. With a new twist in the match, the Masked Royal is fired up and calls for a Darkest Lariat. Torracat has perfected its Flame Charge, and the attack proves powerful enough to stop Incineroar's move. Torracat tries another Flame Charge and slips through Incineroar's claws before returning back to clash with another Darkest Lariat. Both Pokemon are sent backwards, with Incineroar showing signs of exhaustion. And for the final clash, after bulking up, Incineroar uses its Throat Chop against Torracat’s Flame Charge. While Incineroar emerges victorious, Ash congratulates his newly evolved Pokémon for its efforts. The Masked Royal announces that Torracat and his Incineroar are now rivals and looks forward to another match at the Battle Royal Dome before performing his signature pose. | ||
Overnight, Burnet wishes she could meet the Masked Royal, and asks Kukui if he would like to meet him. Though Kukui awkwardly laughs at the idea, while Torracat glares at him strangely. | Overnight, Burnet wishes she could meet the Masked Royal, and asks Kukui if he would like to meet him.
