==Synopsis==
Yazmyne and Nick continue watching Pokemon Wrestling during their vacation from travelling. At the end of each match, the champion Masked Royal asked anyone in the audience to challenge him an his Incineroar. Every time, there is someone, and every time they lose. Nick suggests to Yazmyne to call back her Electivire and challenge the Masked Royal. Yazmyne imagines what they would be like, and concedes that Electivire might be to wild. She turns the question back onto Nick to recall Hitmonchan. Nick quickly shoots down the idea, but Yazmyne reminds Nick that she's not the only one on the Orange Archipelago to have an adventure. She called him here to have an adventure too. Nick thinks on it quickly and decides to try.
Nick recalls Hitmonchan, who is elated to see his trainer once more. Nick informs Hitmonchan that he's going to be in a wrestling match, and they prepare for it. The next night when Masken Royal asks for anyone in the audience, Nick volunteers himself and presents his Himonchan. Masked Royal explains the rules that the battle is best two out of three rounds. Nick understands, and the battle begins.
Nick and Hitmonchan are overwhelmed on the first round, but Yazmyne reminds Nick of his advise to her prior to her Mikan Island Gym Challenge: treat it like a Contest. When they do, they win the second round with Hitmonchan outspeeding Incineroar with Mach Punch and Agility. In the third round Hitmonchan and Incineroar trade blow after blow, and Hitmonchan defeats it with his new move: Counter.
Following the match, Masked Royal presents himself to Nick and Yazmyne and introduces himself as Kukui, a Pokemon Trainer from the Alola region. Kukui prepares to leave Kinnow Island for Fuchsia City, and Nick shares he did not intend to stop Kukui's career. Kukui proceeds to share his story about coming to Kinnow Island. He simply boarded the wrong boat, and he's been here for months, training and winning. He says his real dream is to become a Conference Champion. Yazmyne shares that it is her dream too and she's curious why he postponed his goal. Kukui shares that being a Pokemon Wrestler was just for fun. He wasn't serious about it, but he did decide that when he lost, he would resume his goal. He admits it was a mere distraction, but he's still on track. He's got six Kanto badges and needs two more. Kukui's response seems to leave Nick despondent. She wonders if she doesn't even care about Contests.
