Not Being a Trainer This Time

Inside the vast Royal Dome, where previously there should have been a cacophony of voices, there now exists deafening silence.

All eyes in the audience seats are fixed on the center of the arena.

On the arena, a massive, gray, dragon-like mysterious Pokemon stands.

Golden half-rings encircle its neck from its back, black and red stripes horizontally cover the front of its neck, it has ghost-like wings with claw-like red structures at the tips, beneath its massive body are six robust legs, each ending in golden dragon claws.

The aura of destruction emanates continuously from it, casting a shadow over the entire arena.

Some people widen their eyes, experiencing a glaring earthquake within their pupils, some stand abruptly, tightly grasping the railing before them, staring unblinkingly at the Giratina below, while others can’t help but gasp in shock, quickly covering their mouths, staring in disbelief at the scene.

”That is... Giratina!”

Someone exclaims in astonishment.

Most of the young ones present understand the significance of this name.

The legendary dragon active online, Guardian of Shadows, who stopped Groudon and Kyogre, the great hero who saved the Hoenn Region...

That Pokemon has actually appeared here!

Oh, island god! This is truly unbelievable!

Soon, some turn their attention to the man standing behind Giratina.

It is well-known that only one person in this world ever captured Giratina, such a Pokemon.

That person has no name, appearing and disappearing without trace, vanishing from sight since the last time he and Giratina stopped a disaster in the Hoenn Region.

”Giratina’s Trainer...” murmurs someone in amazement from the audience seats, ”Could King Wing possibly be that legendary Motorcycle Mask?!”

”It must be!” Another spectator fully reacts, his voice filled with excitement, ”Giratina had revealed online that it is the only Giratina in this world, so now that Giratina is here, that person must be Motorcycle Mask!”

”Click, click, click!”

The sound of camera shutters clicks from all directions, at this moment, not only the audience in the seats but even the photographers of the Royal Dome aim their cameras at Giratina.

Roger watches this scene, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

”Wow! There’s been a change at the Royal Battle site! King Wing has sent out the legendary Pokemon Giratina for battle!”

”Moreover, we’ve received news that King Wing’s true identity is actually last year’s great hero who saved the Hoenn Region, Motorcycle Mask!”

”At that time, the Hoenn Region was plunged into a major crisis, Groudon and Kyogre’s battle affected the entire region, at a critical moment, Motorcycle Mask appeared riding Giratina, successfully stopping their fight!”

Upon hearing this, all spectators present comprehend.

Doesn’t this mean that King Wing’s true identity is actually the world-saving legendary Trainer?!

A spectator suddenly stands up, vigorously waving a support stick, shouting aloud.

”King Wing!”

”King Wing!”

”Giratina!”

”...”

On the arena, Giratina thoroughly enjoys the cheers of humans.

Yes, this is the feeling!

Meanwhile, it doesn’t forget to glance back at Naoki.

Naoki feels like the sky is about to fall.

Before the match began, he had imagined dozens of possibilities in his mind, but never anticipated this situation.

He’s already heard the spectators shouting the words ”Motorcycle Mask.”

What chaos! His identity is exposed!

Naoki glared at Giratina, communicating with it through looks.

[What are you doing?!]

Giratina telepathically replied, ”Of course, helping you win this match!”

He’s infuriated, his fists clenched tightly!

Giratina couldn’t possibly appear without reason, considering its ongoing pursuit to become a major online sensation, Naoki very much suspects it came to attract more fans!

Naoki casts a doubtful glance at Giratina.

Giratina feels somewhat guilty internally.

It turns its head, telepathically reminding him, ”The battle is about to start.”

Naoki: ”...”

He glances forward to see the Royal Masked Man and the other two opponents gazing intently at himself and Giratina.

Laiyang Nanako’s eyes are filled with wonder: ”Oh my! Looks like Big Brother is quite the hero!”

Karate King: ”Seems I might contend with legendary Pokemon today, truly—it’s exciting!”

With that, he quickly removes his upper garments, revealing bulging muscles.

In contrast, the Royal Masked Man remains much calmer, as he has no more clothes to remove, unless he undresses completely.

”The legendary Pokemon Giratina?” The Royal Masked Man looks towards the opposite side through his mask, ”Let me witness it then!”

Naoki: ”...”

He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, then opens them again after a moment.

Well then! Exposure is just exposure!

The world knows King Wing, but not Naoki of Naoki Ranch.

What does King Wing or Royal Masked Man have to do with him, Naoki?

At this moment, seeing all four contestants on stage ready, Roger speaks once more:
