Satoshi has won the Alola Pokémon League!
HE'S NOW HAVING AN ALL-OUT BATTLE WITH PROFESSOR KUKUI!!!

It turns out that Professor Kukui is actually the strongest Trainer in Alola?! It's finally time for the battle between him and league winner Satoshi!

Scoop: Royal Mask's true identity was Professor Kukui!!

PROFESSOR KUKUI'S POkÉMON ARE SUPER POWERFUL!!

If Satoshi can win, he'll be the true champ of Alola!!

Predictions for the battle between Satoshi and Professor Kukui!!

TV-kun has made some assumptions regarding the outcome of this fully powered battle in real earnest!
Satoshi's Pokemon: Pikachu, Melmeltal, Lugarugan (Dusk Form), Nyaheat, Mokuroh, Agoyon (this is the one you should take note of)
Prediction:
If the Ultra Beast Agoyon gets to play a major part in the battle, Satoshi might win?!
Professor Kukui's Pokémon: Lucario, Emperte, Fushigibana, Warrgle, Gaogaen (this is the one you should take note of)
Prediction:
But depending on how the tremendously powerful Gaogaen fights, it might give Kukui a landslide victory...?!

SATOSHI HAS WON THE ALOLA POKÉMON LEAGUE!!
You did it, Satoshi! After making his way to the finals of the Alola Pokémon League, he fought Gladio. Winning that super intense battle resulted in the name "Satoshi from Masara Town" to be forever engraved in the history of Alola!

His first league win after so many years!!


The Pokémon he used were these 5!
Pikachu
Nyaheat
Mokuroh
Lugarugan (Dusk Form)
Melmetal

He stands on the top for the first time after seizing his fully poweredstrength in all the matches!!
Various friends Satoshi had encountered before entered were participating in the tournament as well. One of them was Gladio, an extraordinarily skilled Trainer he ultimately faced in the finals. Satoshi achieved his first ever league victory in this fully powered battle he put everything he had learned in Alola into!

Satoshi and Gladio fought a good battle.Their two Lugarugan were on fire as well!

A DIGEST OF ALL OF SATOSHI'S MATCHES IN THE ALOLA POKÉMON LEAGUE!
Round 1:

O Satoshi - X Sauboh
Meltan - Sleeper
Meltan loves eating metal, and ended up biting into Sleeper's coing and melting it completely! Meltan then took the opportunity while the opponent was in a state of shock to finish it off with Flash Cannon for the win.
Round 2:
O Satoshi - X Hau
Mokuroh - Junaiper
It looked like Mokuroh got defeated after taking Junaiper's Sky Attack. However, it turnedout to just be sleeping, so the match continued. Mokuroh then snatched a comeback victory with Brave Bird.
Semifinals:
O Satoshi - X Guzma
Nyaheat - Hassam
Pikachu - Gusokumusha
Nyaheat defeated Hassam, but then got beaten by Gusokumusha, leaving the score at 1-1. Pikachu then somehow managed to land the win using, among other things, the Z-Move Sparking Gigavolt.
Finals:
O Satoshi - X Gladio
Melmetal - Silvady
Pikachu - Zoroark
Lugarugan (Dusk Form) - Lugarugan (Midnight Form)
Pikachu won against Silvady, which had defeated Melmetal. Its fight against Zoroark then ended in a draw, and the match ended with a fight between two Luraugan. Satoshi won a dramatic victory by managing to Counter the Counter!

SINCE SATOSHI WON THE LEAGUE HE GOT TO BATTLE ROYAL MASK
or at least that was what was supposed to happen, but...?!

Since Satoshi won the League, he got to have a battle against Royal Mask as a special treat! Satoshi greatly admires Royal Mask, and now he finally gets to have an all-out battle with him... or so he thought?!

Satoshi was given the victory trophy by Royal Mask. His identity has always been shrouded in mystery, but now it's finally revealed!

ROYAL MASK'S TRUE IDENTITY WAS PROFESSOR KUKUI, JUST AS WE THOUGHT!
Alola's superstar was Professor Kukui in disguise! Satoshi and the others were shocked by this revelation!
Professor Burnet was a huge fan of Royal Mask, and he actually turned out to be her own husband! She might be the world's most surprised woman ever?!

THE STRONGEST SQUAD EVER?! PROFESSOR KUKUI'S POKÉMON:
A super heavyweight squad that, amazingly enough, consists entirely of fully evolved Pokémon! This is Professor Kukui we're talking about, so we wouldn't be surprised to learn that he's trained them all just as well as Gaogaen!

IF SATOSHI WINS AGAINST THIS OPPONENT, HE'LL BE THE TRUE CHAMP OF ALOLA!
Satoshi has finally earned the right to challenge the strongest Trainer in Alola, Professor Kukui!!

RUN WITH THE MOMENTUM FROM THE LEAGUE VICTORY!!
The Ultra Beast Agoyon joins the team alongside the 5 that won the league! Show us what you've learned in Alola!

WHO WILL WIN?! A 6-ON-6 FULL BATTLE!!
This full battle won't just be decided by type matchups, but also by overall strength! We've taken a look at each Pokémon's peculiarities!

SATOSHI'S POKÉMON:
AGOYON
(this is the one to pay attention to!): The Ultra Beast Bevenom has evolved into a trustworthy Pokémon! It's helping out in order to pay Satoshi back from saving their world!
Bevenom was of course emotionally attached to Satoshi, but also to Pikachu.
PIKACHU: The Z-Moves it's learned in Alola are extraordinarily powerful! The soulmate duo of Satoshi and Pikachu can take on any opponent!
MELMETAL: The tiny Meltan evolved into this super powerful Pokémon! We expect this heavyweighter will soon give us an even match with Professor Kukui's Pokémon!
LUGARUGAN (DUSK FORM): Lugarugan has grown little by little as it's been with Satoshi. We'd like to see it keep up the good work from the finals!
MOKUROH: Normally just sleeps all the time, but delivers when it counts! It's extremely reliable when it actually gets serious!
NYAHEAT: The destined rival of Professor Kukui's Gaogaen! This decisive match is certainly when it will finally gets its win!

PROFESSOR KUKUI'S POKÉMON:
GAOGAEN
(this is the one to pay attention to!): Professor Kukui's partner, which has just as strong a bond with him as Pikachu does with Satoshi. Both its power and speed are top class!
It's super famous all across Alola as Royal Mask's partner!
FUSHIGIBANA: Being the final evolved form of Fushigidane, it's a Grass/Poison type. It's just as much of a heavyweighter as Gaogaen.
WARRGLE: Profssor Kukui's partner that helped him fight the Rocket Gang and protect Professor Burnet!
EMPERTE: Takes pride in its incredible toughness, which allows it to swim all over the world researching ocean currents. Its Metal Claw is super powerful!
LUCARIO: The Wave it guides throughout its entire body before unleashing can even smash huge boulders! It specializes in the moves Close Combat and Dragon Pulse.
WHAT IS PROFESSOR KUKUI'S 6TH POkÉMON?!
A Full Battle is 6 on 6. Look forward to learning who the final Pokémon is from the episode itself!

The fierce fight between Satoshi and Professor Kukui airs October 6th, 13th and 20th! Don't miss it! (airdate and -time depends on your region)

"Full battle" Bet it's not 6v6.
So the Guzzlord stuff is only one episode? Boo! Edit: Oof, nevermind. Didn't see the unnamed episode

Bebenom appears having evolved? Satoshi only has Pikachu, Mukuroh, Nyaheat, Lugarugan, Melmetal and I don’t think they would focus on a Gladio/Royal Mask battle. Probably the writers way of adapting the Champion Kukui fight from the game so I guess we can expect his game team?

Possibly. Although they might change out his lycanroc.

Although I hope we don't get another lycanroc Vs lycanroc battle

Not thinking twice!

Well, his game Lycanroc is probably Ash’s Lycanroc here, so I doubt he'll use it

If this 6 on 6 match, who would be his 6th one, is poipole coming back, it would be more funny if it comes back as naganadel, that would be like brock's onix evolving offsceen, though it's not happening.

Poipole is possible with what we know about 140.
Or be could use a random reserve or even an unlikely new capture.

Or he could use 5 to masked royals 6

It's easy to justify a 6th pokemon for Ash, but extremely hard for Kukui. He had to reveal his secret identity to Faba specifically because he didn't have anyone but Braviary and Incineroar to use, so despite the title I can't imagine an actual 6 v 6 here (I'd be happy to be wrong).

Not really. It's easy to imagine he had other pokemon, just not on him at the time. Pokémon he just uses as the masked royal so wouldn't carry with him as kukui.

Yeah he mentioned that when Burnet asked where he got the Nyabby as a kid that it “stayed at his parents’” or was his parent’s so obviously he’s done a good job hiding Gaogaen from his own wife. Maybe his other Pokemon live in and around Alola?

Maybe molayne cares for them?

Winter can't come soon enough
Lotta questions here. Is this really gonna involve 4+ 'mons on each side? Is Ash getting this match for winning the league... or saving the day against Guzzlord? I'm betting the former, but a lot of people are superstitious about this. Oh, and also, is Masked Royal able to keep his identity safe throughout Guzzlord's attack or will he slip up, but everyone roles with it anyway? Guess only time will tell.
