Pov Kukui

I'm standing in the teachers ' lounge. Now I call Sophocles' parents, because I need someone to look after Ash today. After all, today I, in the role of the Royal Mask, will take battle. And that's why I need Ash to stay somewhere, because I can't leave him alone.

- Hello?

- Hello, this is Professor Kukui to bother you...

Professor, did something happen to Sophocles? - His father asked.

- No, he's all right. I was just wondering if you could keep an eye on Ash while I'm gone. - I asked.

- Good Professor... But I didn't know you had children.

- Yeah... I wouldn't believe myself. I just took Ash into custody.

- It's quite brave of the Professor. So what time are you picking up Ash?

- I think it's about 17:40.

- Okay Professor. See you soon, then. - Father Sophocles Said, and put the phone down.

Pov Ash

Class is over, and I'm packing my bag to go home. When I wanted to leave, the Professor stopped me and Sophocles.

- Professor something wrong? - I asked.

- Ash I need to leave... After all, I was called to work to finish a research project. So you're gonna have to go home to Sophocles and wait for me. Sophocles, I already called your parents and they already know about it.

- Good Professor. - I said... But I was no longer afraid that someone would find out. I told this already to all the guys, and they are glad that the Professor took me in.

- Come on ash, I'll show you where I live. - Sophocles Said.

I nodded and we left the class.

We reached the Sophocles house. He was beautiful, and I still liked the flower beds next to the house. Sophocles opened the door to the house, and invited me, and I naturally entered. When I entered the house there was a delicious smell of something. I didn't know what it was, but it was clearly tasty.

We entered the living room, and we were clearly met by Sophocles's mother.

- Hi mom, I brought my friend ... But I think you already know that. - Started Sophocles.

- Yes, welcome Ash. - Said his mother.

- Thank you ... - I replied.

- Let's watch TV? - Suggested Sophocles.

- Good. - I replied.

We sat down on the sofa, and Sophocles switched on the television monitor. At this time, Sophocles's mother brought something on a plate ... This is what smelled so delicious. I looked, and I realized that this is malasad.

- Eat as much as you want, if you want more, then I will bring more. - Said mom Sophocles, and went into the kitchen.

Sophocles switched to the "AlolaTv" channel and there was a moderator who shouted about something excitedly.

- Oh, this is the battle of the royal mask! - Said Sophocles.

- The royal mask? - I asked.

- Yes, this is the best fighter in all of Alola. He hides his face.

I started watching the match:

- Meet the unique Royal Mask. - Said the presenter, and came out the royal mask.

- enjoooooy - shouted the royal mask, and next to him stood a huge pokemon. - My name is Royal mask, and this is my Pokemon Incineroar - Said the Royal Mask.

And then a man in black uniform appeared, and said that he was calling the royal mask to a fair fight. And the royal mask agreed. I am very interested to watch this event. He is very cool and I like it.

The royal mask of course chose Incineroar, and this man chose Decidueye. And so the battle began, and the man took the initiative, and he began with the attack "Frontal attacks." But Incineroar turned around and decided to use a flamethrower, but he missed. Further Incineroar tried to strike him with claws, and he managed to hurt Decidueye, but it didn't hurt much.

And then the Royal decided to make an attack z. The professor told us about them, so I know how it works. He began to perform an attack z, and Incineroar began spinning like a tornado moving on Decidueye. And Decidueye who did not expect the attack, could not do anything. Decidueye just flew away to the ring wall. And then the victory of the royal mask was declared. Everyone began to rejoice, even Sophocles and I.

- Have you seen this Sophocles!? Just one attack, and he won! - I shouted.

- Yes Ash, and this is just great! The royal mask has always won, and she will continue to do so.

* Skip time *

We had a wonderful time with Sophocles, but the professor came after me and took me home. All the way home, I told him about the royal mask. I just could not stop talking about him, because I have not met anyone like this before. He says he was recognized as the national hero of Alola. After all, no one could ever beat him.

I'm having dinner now, and I can't calm down about him.

- Professor ... I am wondering here, but how does he take it and win over everyone else? - I asked.

- I don't know Ash ... Maybe he and the Incineroar interact well, and so they easily win. And you still can not calm down in any way yes? - The professor asked me.

- No, he is really cool, I would like to meet with him in life. - I said hopefully.

I finished eating, and carried the plate to the sink.

- Ash wait here, I'll bring something now. - Said the professor going down to his lab.

I was wondering why he asked to wait for him. He came back from the laboratory with ... ROYAL MASK!

- Professor ... It's a mask! But from where? - I asked.

- I, too, am his fan, and he announced about a meeting where he could communicate with his fans ... I communicated with him, and as a memory ... He signed for me on a mask. I think you can pick it up yourself. - I was just happy.

I rushed at the professor to embrace him.

- Thank you professor! - I shouted.

- Please, Ash. - Said the professor stroking my head.
