At the Battle Royale dome, the Masked Royal and his Incineroar face Mr. Electric and Electivire with Team Rocket acting as hosts. Incineroar uses Cross Chop pushing Electivire to it's knees. Ashly and Burnet, in the house, watch this match and cheer for the Masked Royal. However, Mr. Electric grabs Incineroar's leg which displeases the two. Ashly asks about Mr. Electric whom Rotom describes as the member of the Revengers. Sophocles, who watches the match with his father, states Revengers always break the rules for their favor. Mimo and Kiawe watch at the farm and the latter comments due to their dark nature, Kiawe rather supports the opponent, Masked Royal. Lillie at her mansion with Hobbes, cheers for Incineroar and Masked Royal. On a closer look, she notices Lana and Mallow among the audience. Ashly and Burnet notice this, too as Ashly realizes they were lucky enough to get the tickets.
Electivire creeps upon Incineroar who senses this. Thus, Incineroar releases itself from Mr. Electric's grasp and slams Electivire away. Incineroar goes to use Throat Chop, but gets attacked by someone else. A Magmortar has joined the fight owned by Mad Magmar. Due to breaking the rules, Mr. Electric and Mad Magmar are disqualified. Rotom explains to Ashly that since Magmortar joined a fight it did not have a right to join in, Electivire lost the match by default. Ashly is not pleased as she believes Masked Royal and Incineroar are not pleased by winning like that. Mad Magmar challenges the Masked Royal in a Single Battle while betting the title of the strongest fighter of the dome on the line. Team Rocket are impressed by the shamelessness of the guy to barge in and challenge his opponent like that. The Masked Royal accepts the battle while declaring the date to be tomorrow as his Incineroar roars out.
Ashly is hyped and Burnet declares they will watch the battle in the dome. The Masked Royal removes his mask, telling as Professor Kukui, to Incineroar they have to be there tomorrow and when Kukui returns home, he meets Ashly, Burnet and the Pokémon making poses of Masked Royal. Kukui repeats the pose and Burnet remarks he made a really good pose suspecting he trains doing that in secret. Burnet declares they will all go to the Battle Royal Dome to watch the fight and Ashly will come with her classmates while telepathy telling Kukui 'Sorry, dad.' as Kukui nervously laughs wondering about this predicament. The next day, Ashly, Kukui and Burnet meet up with the class at the Battle Royal Dome. Inside, the heroes share their enthusiasm as Lana believes the Masked Royal will win while Sophocles puts his mask on. During the match, a Poliwrath uses Hydro Pump, a Machamp uses Bullet Punch, a Primarina uses Sparkling Aria and a Decidueye uses Spirit Shackle.
The Pokémon's moves clash, which amazes the audience. The class is thrilled, but Ash notices Professor Kukui is gone, who is sneaking away. Ashly notices him who explains he has some quick shopping to do and will return before running off. As he runs, Kukui hears the main event is about the start and hurries up to get himself dressed up. Kukui, as Masked Royal, runs to the stage with Incineroar and manages to arrive on time to battle the Mad Magmar. Suddenly, the lights turn off for a moment; once they are back on, Incineroar is surrounded by more Pokémon that attack it all at once. Incineroar is injured while Masked Royal is surrounded by the Revengers.
"That is not right!" Lillie said.
"Cheaters!" Lana said.
"How dare they!" Kiawe said.
"They need to be taught a lesson!" Mallow said.
"They can't just do that!" Sophocles said.
"This is not a match at all!" Burnet said as the heroes disapprove of this action, but Ashly's Kono dashes down and to stop the injustice, Kono attacks Magmortar thus preventing Incineroar from being defeated. Despite the intrusion, the audience is amused as Team Rocket notices the twerpette and in the distraction, Incineroar hits the Pokémon that surrounded it away. Mad Magmar is furious at the intrusion, but Masked Royal reminds Mad Magmar that Kono's interference wouldn't have happened if he and the Revengers never broke the rules in the first place. Then, Mr. Electric and his Electivire join in and Jessie comments that it's like a tag team match.
"Now that sounds interesting!" A golden car enters the stadium from which Viren appears making Ashly, Kiawe, Burnet, Lana, Mallow, Lillie, Sophocles and Kukui glares as this is not going to be a good thing if he's here really as he should be in jail really as Viren introduces himself explaining he was the very one backing the Revengers. He admits he wants the Revengers to be the champions, so he can buy off the Battle Royal Dome as the Masked Royal and Ashly speaks against his plan, but Viren isn't deterred.
"I challenge you, Masked Royal and your secret daughter to a revenge match since Magmortar was humiliated by the latter's Torracat since I know she's here to watch you battling against others in the ring." Everyone was shocked as he wonders how he can pull this off as it does sound like that as he hurries home a lot which got them having rumors about that, but without a warning to anyone really, Ashly used her psychic powers and had him floating upset down making Viren to scream in fear as Ashly walks up making many to see her having a purple glow around her as she glares at Viren.
"I believe everyone here remembered the interview I gave Anna at six A.M about Mr. Viren here, right? Well, how did he get out of jail with the crimes he has since he used a Pokémon to hurt his follow humans and tried to attack a innocent child if I didn't take it for that child?" Everyone agrees as they all did remember seeing that actually and they glared at him really making Viren to sweat as he knows he got his lawyer to get him out making him to know he is in big trouble as Kahuna Hala is also there as well, too making him to shiver, but this won't stop him no matter what making him glare towards Ashly. Masked Royal asks Ashly and Kono secretly if they will help him and they both pledge their support making the Masked Royal to smile and accepts the challenge. Before the battle starts, Masked Royal gives Ashly another colorful mask, but more for a masquerade ball and a small princess crown to go with it.
"I, the Masked Royal, hereby declaring you, Ashly Ketchum, as Masquerade Royal." Ashly was shocked her dad would do that and she was amazed as she knows her dad sees her as a teammate since this might bring in more plus had her wear a outfit to fit the mask as it's also good for balls as well, too with the dress bottom to come off for any fights with dojo fighting clothing underneath making her to enjoy this really as she hugs her dad and thanked him for it making Team Rocket to hear it and knows this is going to be good.
"More money means…"
"This are going to be amazing!"
"Let's hurry back fast!" Team Rocket announces the arrival of Revengers as well as the Double Royals - Masquerade Royal and Masked Royal, the father/daughter duo who make a pose as Masked Royal does his 'Enjoy' while Ashly did the ending of Team Rocket's motto 'I'm Masquerade Royal! Let's fight' with a high kick pose and her clothing fits her body making them to think she's has her mom's short height really and her hair is in a long braid as she has Dark/Fight-Type active to match her dad making them to be speechless as she winks at them making Meowth to be shocked as he shakes his head with a wide smile on his face which is where Jessie and James realized that's where Meowth got his new moves from. The outfit Ashly wore was more of a battle dress than anything with a pair of shorts underneath. It was a grey and black with Sakura blossoms embroidered on the bottom up to the middle of the dress in fiery red.
The sleeves were long, but they had bells sewn along the trim especially two medium sized ones that let out a louder sound than the small ones. The shoes were light and perfect for quick footwork, but sturdy enough to walk on rough terrain. Ashly looked positively adorable in everyone's opinion... …and more importantly she looked like she were ready for a serious fight. Ashly has her upper face covered with a mask making it easier to keep her face covered as Kiawe is amazed by Ashly's look unknowing it's her and while Sophocles is jealous as Lana plans on becoming Water Royal while Burnet, however, wonders where Kukui and Ashly has gone to and with the bell ringing, the fight starts as Magmortar launches Flamethrower which is countered by Incineroar's Cross Chop. Both sides exchange blows with Karate Chop and Throat Chop. Masquerade Royal has Kono tag Incineroar swapping it in battle.
Mad Magmar is angry at Kono for attacking Magmortar earlier, but Masquerade Royal (Ashly) reminds him that it's because they unfairly attacking her dad's Incineroar which Mad Magmar commands a Feint Attack during which Magmortar walks around on it's toes while appearing to be distracted catching Kono off guard which allows Magmortar to land an easy hit. Next, Magmortar spins and flings Kono away who softly lands down as Kono goes to retaliate with Scratch, but Poliwrath grabs it's leg from the stage. Per Mad Magmar's request, Magmortar swaps itself with Electivire. The latter crashes into Torracat with Wild Charge, hitting it. Electivire attacks with Low Kick, but Kono evades that attack and swaps with Incineroar before getting attacked by Thunder Punch, Incineroar uses Bulk Up which excites Lana to see such muscles. Incineroar withstands the attack and repels another Thunder Punch with Darkest Lariat.
This time, both Alolan Muk and Poliwrath grab Incineroar's legs as Kiawe and Lana are displeased and head down to have Popplio use Aqua Jet and Marowak to use Iron Head. With both Muk and Poliwrath out, Incineroar is freed. Viren is displeased while Burnet tells Kiawe and Lana this match should be left to the Double Royals. Masked Royal admits this has moved him for even if the enemy plays dirty, he'll still defeat them in a fair match which excites Burnet and Kiawe. Like the previous time, Incineroar's Darkest Lariat blocks Electivire's Thunder Punch and both sides swap: Kono uses Fire Fang against Magmortar's Fire Punch. Kono leaps and executes the move pushing Magmortar away as Kono gets hit by Karate Chop who jumps and deals a blow to Magmortar. Masked Royal notes 'Torracat' has just used Revenge, a move it just learned. Magmortar falls down, so Electivire jumps in to use Thunder Punch on Kono.
Kono, in retaliation, uses Revenge which defeats Electivire, too and Viren is frustrated and has the rest of the Revengers join the fight which Kono swaps with Incineroar who receives Z-Power from Masked Royal's Z-Ring to use Malicious Moonsault. Incineroar crashes into it's enemies defeating them with one blow and wins the battle with Kono. As everyone cheers, Viren declares he is not over yet and sends in Pangoro which has the Masked Royal being so frustrated and refuses to let the likes of Viren and the Revengers have their way anymore. With Kono's Flame Charge and Incineroar's Darkest Lariat, Pangoro is easily sent flying back towards Viren, KO'ing both of them. Double Royals make a pose and exclaim "Enjoy!"/"I'm Masquerade Royal! Let's fight!", Lillie is moved declaring that she'll participate in the Battle Royal, too which is much to Mallow's surprise. Ashly takes the mask off back stage and asks of Masked Royal to have a rematch with Kono versus Incineroar.
Masked Royal accepts that, claiming that will be a great match one day and shake hands in confirmation. And then, Masked Royal and Incineroar run off in a hurry. Later, Professor Kukui, labored by all the running, returns with supplies. However, he gets scolded by Burnet for being late and missing the match. Next day at Kukui's house during breakfast, Kukui comments on how great Torracat's Revenge was to which Ashly agrees, but Burnet is suspicious how Kukui and Ashly knows this considering they were "absent" during the match. Kukui quickly claims that they saw it from the TV at the store since Ashly went to tell him what was going on in the ring and didn't feel safe with Viren being there and Burnet believes them as Kukui sighs in relief that he managed to keep his identity secret as Ashly is going to be joining him from now on really as this caused a huge hit really making Kono to love it really.
Kona can pretend to be Masquerade Royal's Torracat during that time really which Kono agrees to since she prefers that life style more really, but doesn't hate his life style since they are mates as Ashly wonders why her Memma senses are going crazy making her to wonder why as she doesn't realized that a little boy is coming to live with his new Memma not knowing she's married and that he'll have a new male memma to look after him with his female memma really and a follow chibimon nestling making him to sense where she is and knows her aura is stronger and has a new bond to it making him to wonder what bond it is not knowing that it's a marriage bond like mates would have making him to be prepared as he can tell that trouble is coming for his memma and he doesn't want to see her getting hurt from this really as he prays he makes it on time to stop it before it gets any worser really as he doesn't want to lose his memma ever.
AN: Who is the kid? find out in the next chapter. And yes, Ashly joining in sometimes with Kukui to make it look like he's being a good father really to his daughter. No one will know who Ashly is until Kukui revels himself as the Masked Royal.
