Shiranui and Zoro took their places on stage and bowed in greeting to each other at the cue of a gong. Taiko drums started playing as they stared each other down and when shamisen music started playing they started showing off their ninja training with Zoro providing the illusory backdrop. Their dancing and sparring was reminiscent of kabuki theatre with Shiranui showing off his skills with various weapons and Zoro doing similarly with his claws and illusions.

A pair of smoke bomb explosions appeared on stage, signalling Shiranui and Zoro's entrances as the smoke cleared. Shiranui was sitting in the fudoza position while Zoro was concealing his claws within the sleeves of his outfit.
In Shiranui's dressing room, he and his Zoroark, Zoro, were preparing for their performance. Zoro was annoyed at having to physically wear clothing as opposed to wearing illusory clothing. "Sorry, Zoro, but the Showcases have rules against the use of the Illusion ability to fake the Pokémon's outfit when they're not otherwise wearing one," Shiranui explained. Both he and Zoro wore traditional ninja garb with the Zoroark's claws looking like blood-soaked tekko-kagi.
"Now if you guys will excuse me, I have a performance to rehearse and time is short," Shiranui finished before leaving for somewhere secluded.
"Nobody likes a helicopter parent," Shiranui added.
"King of Galar way back when, god of bountiful harvests, depicted on the statue nearby…" Shiranui listed in an attempt to jog Peony's memory.
"Does the name Calyrex ring any bells?" Shiranui answered.
Calyrex looked at Shiranui and made a come-hither motion. "Are you challenging me to a battle?" Shiranui asked. Calyrex got into a boxing stance to confirm that it did. "Very well, let's see how you handle my kingmaker," Shiranui continued, sending out his shiny Aegislash, Yoto.
"Yoto, open with Shadow Claw!" Calyrex's eyes started glowing and Yoto was caught in a telekinetic grip. The Aegislash shifted to Blade Forme and six branch blades sprouted from Yoto's main blade as Yoto broke free from Calyrex's hold and charged. Yoto's attack scored a critical hit. "Finish it off with Shadow Sneak!" Before Calyrex could get another move in, Yoto struck it from its shadow and Calyrex was defeated.
Peony, who had watched the battle was soon possessed by Calyrex. "As you know, I was a king a long time ago. Nowadays, humans see my reign as a fairytale and being separated from my noble steed has diminished my power. Much like the guardians of lands afar, I shall observe the performance you and the winter warrior have planned. Fare thee well," Calyrex said through Peony before releasing Peony from possession.

Once the heroes and their Pokémon arrived, Shiranui said to himself, "Here goes nothing." He placed the crown back on the statue and waited with bated breath.
"Then off we go," Shiranui finished before leaving with the crown for the statue.
