Saizō

Saizō unmasked

(Japanese: サイゾー Saizō) is a character of the day who appeared in XY052.

Shortly prior to the events of the episode, Saizō gave Sanpei a mission to deliver a secret scroll to a mansion by sunset. As Sanpei went on his way, however, Saizō appeared in his way in a Shiftry mask, along with his Barbaracle, claiming to be battling him for possession of the scroll. Although Sanpei's Greninja put up a fight, Barbaracle poisoned with with a Poison Jab, while the two eventually ended up astray on the river, eventually being found by Ash and his friends.

Eventually, however, Saizō and his Barbaracle appeared yet again as Sanpei and Ash approached the mansion, challenging them once more. Team Rocket intervened in the battle, however, Saizō quickly fought them off, then continued the battle. While Barbaracle managed to temporarily gain the advantage against Froakie and Greninja, Froakie eventually evolved into a Frogadier and defeated Barbaracle. From there, Saizō then left. While invisible to Sanpei and Ash, he said that Sanpei may head to the mansion, and there he will learn the secrets about his companions.

As the two reached the mansion, Saizō appeared yet again, and unmasked himself, much to the surprise of Sanpei. He revealed that the scroll was in fact empty, and that the mission was a test to see how much Sanpei had learned in his journey. It was also revealed that Saizō set the course in such a way that outsiders could not traverse through.
