Following {{an|Professor Kukui}} | Following {{Ash}}'s revelation that {{an|Professor Kukui}}is the Masked Royal, {{Ash}} is momentarily stunned, but is nevertheless excited that he will battle Kukui in the {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} tomorrow. Kukui promises to have the battlefield set up for tomorrow and requests a [[Full Battle]], prompting Ash to add {{AP|Naganadel}} to his [[Party|team]] for a full set of six. Kukui urges Ash to give it his all, finishing off with his signature Masked Royal pose. Meanwhile, {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} observes the scene from above the [[Manalo Stadium]]. | ||
The next day, [[Caster]] welcomes the gathered spectators to the long-anticipated exhibition clash between [[Alola]]'s first {{pkmn|Champion}} Ash versus the Masked Royal, making his true identity of Professor Kukui now public knowledge. In the lead-up, Ash has {{AP|Melmetal}} perfect its {{m|Double Iron Bash}} technique by spinning around rapidly. Melmetal launches both of its fists into a tree, emitting a lot of force. {{Rotom}} offers its analysis, reporting that Melmetal's speed and force have vastly improved. Ash turns his attention to {{AP|Torracat}} and hypes it up for a battle and yet another chance for it to showcase its strengths against [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]. Meanwhile, Kukui and Incineroar are meditating to sharpen their focuses. Burnet confronts her husband, admitting that she is annoyed that as a fan, she should have realized that Kukui was the Masked Royal. She wishes him all the best regardless | The next day, [[Caster]] welcomes the gathered spectators to the long-anticipated exhibition clash between [[Alola]]'s first {{pkmn|Champion}} Ash versus the Masked Royal, making his true identity of Professor Kukui now public knowledge.

The Manalo Stadium erupts with cheers as Ash and Kukui make their way onto the battlefield.

{{AP|Pikachu}} is raring to go, but Ash decides to call Torracat onto the field first, much to Pikachu's disappointment. Kukui predicted the selection, so he sends out Torracat's rival, Incineroar. Torracat's bell starts ringing, making clear that it is fired up for the round. Hala properly starts the battle, and Ash has Torracat rush forward with a {{m|Flame Charge}}. Incineroar bolsters its strength with {{m|Bulk Up}} and takes the brunt, sending Torracat backwards. Torracat sprints into action with another Flame Charge, and its increased {{stat|speed}} helps it dodge a retaliatory {{m|Darkest Lariat}}. With Incineroar's back turned, Torracat leaps in for a {{m|Fire Fang}}, though it gets knocked away by Incineroar. Torracat recovers and encircles Incineroar with an increasingly fast Flame Charge. However, a {{m|Throat Chop}} knocks Torracat away and finally breaks the ring of fire. Incineroar rushes to attacks it opponent again, but Torracat lashes it with a {{m|Fire Blast}}. | {{AP|Pikachu}} is raring to go, but Ash decides to call Torracat onto the field first, much to Pikachu's disappointment.

Kukui is fully aware of Ash's speed-increasing strategy | Kukui is fully aware of Ash's speed-increasing strategy and declares that Incineroar has no blind spots because of its [[Battle Royal]] training. Kukui orders Incineroar to use {{m|Blast Burn}}. As the fireball approaches, Torracat's bell starts to chime and it runs directly into the attack. Ash realizes Torracat's plan is to absorb the power from the Blast Burn, so he has Torracat carry out its plan. Surprisingly, Torracat manages to absorb the entire Blast Burn into its bell, much to everyone else's surprise. Torracat bides its time to charge up the flame energy swirling through its body. Ash calls for Torracat to launch its own impromptu attack, "Blast Torracat", but the strategy backfires as smoke begins to billow from Torracat's bell. Torracat struggles with the searing pain and exhaustion, so Ash calls it back to its {{i|Poké Ball}} to recover. | ||
Kukui decides to keep Incineroar on the field, so Ash sends out {{AP|Lycanroc}}. With Incineroar still {{status|recharging}} from using Blast Burn, Lycanroc lands a direct hit on it with {{m|Accelerock}}. Lycanroc instantly follows up with {{m|Stone Edge}}, but at that moment, Incineroar finishes recharging and spins into action with Darkest Lariat, breaking the oncoming attack into shards. Kukui is startled as Ash orders Lycanroc to grab one of the Stone Edge shards with its jaws. Incineroar counters with a Throat Chop, but Lycanroc still emerges unscathed and has managed to injure Incineroar's arm with the pointed stone. At this, Kukui switches Incineroar out for his {{p|Braviary}}. Ash is confident Lycanroc can continue, so the he keeps it out. Braviary unleashes a {{m|Rock Slide}}, with Ash and Lycanroc bracing themselves for the incoming attack. | Kukui decides to keep Incineroar on the field, so Ash sends out {{AP|Lycanroc}}.
