UM43's Documentation ("Plot")
The young trial-goer had recently arrived back at Tapu Village’s Pokemon Center after his a recent participation in the Battle Royal’s Master Rank. Michael then spoke to his Rotom Dex about the many activities that he had been doing for the past few days, which his Pokedex companion can recall since a lot of Battle Videos were saved-up in the Vs. Recorder. Michael began to reminisce about his activities at Festival Plaza when he had interacted with many Festival Fans (constantly), increasing the rank of Festival Plaza (49), and removing and adding facilities with Sopohcles’ game counterpart. Michael also remembered his activities at the facilities like purchasing a Soda Pop set at General Store, purchasing Friendship Lunches for his Pokemon Friends (Pikachu and Noctowl) at Friendship Cafe (not just 1 facility), his Pokemon Friends’ exploration (Pikachu and Noctowl) at Trick Room (not just 1 facility) which led to them finding some items (even a few Hyper Potions), purchasing many lunches for his Pokemon Friends (Kabutops, Pikachu, and Noctowl) at Battle Table, winning prizes at both Big Dreams and Gold Rush, which gave him a few valuables (2 Big Nuggets) + a few extra much-needed items (like Berry Juices and Max Elixirs), and earning a few more valuables from Sophocles’ game counterpart who’s very happy for Michael doing well with Festival Plaza. Michael’s Rotom Dex can understand how things were busy for its companion as it then recalled some of the Battle Videos being his battling at the Battle Agency, which Michael can reminisce his participations with some of his Festival Fans and the chosen Pokemon that he borrowed like Machamp, Venusaur, Zapdos, and Greninja. Michael also remembered about the times when he forfeited some of his challenges due to his opponents coming close to defeating him and his team but he was able to rethink his battling strategies and managed to win his rematches with his teammates, which increased his grade to 5.
Even though his time at the Battle Agency involved not using any of his own Pokemon friends, Michael still enjoyed teaming up with other trainers as well as with the chosen borrowed Pokemon. The young trial-goer began to happily recall his great Battle Videos from plenty of participating at the Battle Royal Dome, which his Rotom Dex stated how it was a little confusing for its companion to go straight back there after arriving to Ula’ula Island, which Michael can understand as he had enjoyed Mantine Surfing to Ula’ula Island but riding in the air with Charizard (via Charizard Glide) is also very good + since Noctowl’s training made it strong enough to participate in the other Battle Royal ranks, he had decided on continuing to enjoy battling alongside many of his Pokemon friends at the Battle Royal Dome. The young trial-goer opened up the Vs. Recorder to reminisce about good victories he had in Battle Royals with his Pokemon friends via Battle Videos. A participation in the Battle Royal’s Master Rank led to Bewear losing unfortunately after battling a little well but Poipole and even Noctowl battled very well, which gave Michael the win. A participation in the Battle Royal’s Master Rank led to Noctowl losing unfortunately but Pikachu got to use its Z-Move: Catastropika, for the first time to pull off a great finishing blow to an opponent and Bewear took care of a few more great finishing blows, which gave Michael the win. A participation in the Battle Royal’s Master Rank led to Noctowl losing unfortunately but Cha (Michael’s Hawlucha) battled so well to pull off some great finishing blows and Pikachu got to use the Water-Type Z-Move: Hydro Vortex, for the first time then delivered a finishing blow with its tutored Iron Tail move, which gave Michael the win. A participation in the Battle Royal’s Super Rank led to Kabutops getting to use the Ground-Type Z-Move: Tectonic Rage, for the first time then pulling off a finishing blow afterwards and Noctowl took care of the rest, which gave Michael the win (it took 2 out of 3 Pokemon to earn that win). A participation in the Battle Royal’s Hyper Rank led to Aerodactyl getting to use the Steel-Type Z-Move: Corkscrew Crash, for the first time then it still got defeated afterwards but Toucannon took care of some great finishing blows to 2 opponents and Raticate pulled off a final finishing blow at the end, which gave Michael the win. They were all great victories to remember, which led to the young trial-goer recalling facing a very special opponent in the recent match in the Battle Royal’s Master Rank, which he had recently returned from. Michael reminisced about a swimmer at Ula’ula Beach kindly touring some of his Pokemon Friends (Lycanroc, Kabutops, and Bewear) some new moves in exchange for BP (Battle Points) and enjoying another Mantine Surfing trip to Akala Island, which led to beating his own record in its Hyper Course. Arriving back to the Battle Royal Dome at Royal Avenue (on foot), Michael had just finished another registration in the Battle Royal’s Master Rank when he then noticed the Masked Royal’s game counterpart (whom he hasn’t seen since UM14) who heard about Michael’s bouts in the Battle Royal Dome, which made him wanna battle Michael himself. That left the young trial-goer feeling honored in getting to face the Masked Royal’s game counterpart in a Battle Royal again as the 2 of them stepped into the ring to begin their participation. It was thanks to the hard work of Toucannon, Lycanroc, and partner Incineroar that Michael emerged victorious as he then confirmed to his Rotom Dex to have the entire battle saved in a Battle Video.
As the receptionist congratulates Michael on his victory then she gives him the Battle Points that he earns, the Masked Royal’s game counterpart thanked the young trial-goer for a fun battle as he then departed. Before Michael departed, he noticed a girl who noticed so much effort that Michael’s Incineroar had so she gave Michael an Effort Ribbon as a little reward for all the hard work that Incineroar had done for its trainer, which the young trial-goer gave his thanks to both the girl and his own partner. Afterwards a nice photo of a Pa’u Style Oricorio was taken with the Poke Finder and malasadas were purchased at the Malasada Shop. After arriving back at Tapu Village (again) via Charizard Glide, the young trial-goer took care of training with many of his Pokemon friends to level them up evenly since some won’t be traveling with him towards the next destination and the ones that are going, must be ready for any opponent they shall face along the way + many Pokemon Refresh activities led to Michael running low on PokeBeans but stopping by at Poke Pelago always helps in filling up that supply for a journey. As part of Bewear’s training, Michael decided to teach it the move Bulk Up via Technical Machine since that was received from someone who competed in the Battle Royal Dome and it is a really cool move to try out for a while. As part of Noctowl’s training, Michael decided to teach it the move Shadow Ball via Technical Machine with the possibility they could do some Z-Move training later on with Michael’s Ghostium Z. Michael didn’t mind helping the little boy at the Aether House with some cleaning up which gave the young trial-goer a PP Up from Aether House’s Headmaster Oranguru. After selling his valuables at the PokeMart, Michael finally declared that he’s all set to depart for Mount Lanakila, which his Rotom Dex has been waiting to hear since it kept reminding its companion about it for a long time, which apparently led to reminiscing about Michael’s victory in his Poni Island Grand Trial (during UM41), remembering that made Michael starting to feel a little guilty about not setting off to his next destination any sooner since he’s been looking forward to it for a long while but recent days of doing many activities (which unfortunately includes battling at the Battle Royal Dome) made him realize that he ended up delaying his own island challenge by taking too much detours. Michael looked at his own Z-Power Ring feeling a little ashamed of not focusing on his island challenge properly but his Rotom Dex didn’t like seeing this reaction on its own companion and then started to chat with its companion about the achievements that he managed to have done like increasing the ranks of Festival Plaza (which Sophocles’ game counterpart is proud of), climbing the ranks of Mantine Surfing (which led to a Pikachu Variant becoming a Pokemon friend of Michael’s), and despite spending too much time at the Battle Royal Dome, Michael was reminded how he managed to climb the Battle Royal ranks, which not only led to getting to battle the Masked Royal’s game counterpart himself, he also got to battle alongside with a team that were well-raised by a strong trial-goer that Michael always has been on his whole journey. Hearing all that started to help the young trial-goer feel a little better about his mistakes and understood that he still enjoyed a great journey, which is currently reaching its end. Michael thanked his Pokedex companion for its good words and stepped outside to look up at Mount Lanakila while being aware of arriving at a very important destination at the top, which filled the young trial-goer with lots of zest as he shall look forward to officially proceeding with his island challenge’s final step.

Answer: The Masked Royal's game counterpart
Lesson Notes: Since Michael Lettman confirmed that Alolan Michael shall stay put at a certain Pokemon Center at the end of UM44 to focus on the events of UM45 & UM46, he willingly took a risk in doing a whole lot of “Off-Screen” Necessary Saving Activities to gain enough “necessary” saved-up data for the events of UM43 but he didn’t like having to gain all of it scrambly which ended up feeling very frustrating. “Off-Screen” Necessary Saving Activities: Other than collecting PokeBeans at Poke Pelago, Michael Lettman willingly allowed Alolan Michael to increase some of his Festival Plaza’s rank, battle at the Battle Agency to increase his grade (only a little), train with a few of his Pokemon Friends, and battle more at the Battle Royal’s Master Rank for facing a certain opponent during UM43 (despite what was finished during UM42).
