The Masked Royal steps onto the stage, and gives Ash his trophy and congratulates him on becoming Champion. Ash thanks the Masked Royal and adds that he is excited for tomorrow’s exhibition match. The crowd again claps for their new Champion, with Rotom taking a commemorative photograph of the moment. Suddenly, Wicke detects an Ultra Wormhole signal directly over their very location, Manalo Stadium.
