Four more figures showed up and Shiranui recognised two of them as his mother, Mizumi Tsukiko and his father, Kaika Tsukiko. The other two were two of his father's Pokémon: a Charizard, Hokage and a Greninja he had battled named Mizukage. "Hi son," Mr. Tsukiko greeted.
"Mum, Dad, Hokage, Mizukage!" Shiranui exclaimed in shock as well as glee, "I wasn't expecting you lot to show up here."
"Scott informed us that you were about to beat the Battle Frontier," replied Mrs. Tsukiko, "So we decided to come here to the Battle Pyramid to cheer you on."
"Thanks," said Shiranui.

"We were psyching ourselves up to take on Pyramid King Brandon," answered Shiranui, "He may have the Legendary Titans on his party, but he's not the only trainer who has legendary Pokémon."

Definitely.

"I assume it's at the Indigo Plateau?" Shiranui speculated. He also spotted the Battle Pyramid and wondered how its location would have been kept secret.

Shiranui was ready to make his way as well.

"Speaking of, what Pokémon are you planning on bringing to face the Pyramid King?"

"Since we're facing the Legendary Titans, I plan to use a few of my strongest Pokémon," answered Shiranui.

"We must remember what we're up against regarding Pyramid King Brandon," Shiranui reminded.

The Contest started and Shiranui was the last coordinator to make his appeal. He had Zoro show off various legendary Pokémon and their signature moves, all done through illusions. Needless to say he got a perfect score for that performance.

His entrant for the Battle Round was the legendary Diancie named Diamanda. Shiranui blitzed through the quarter final through point depletion and breezed through the semi-final after Diamanda knocked out a Jynx with Diamond Storm. During the grand final match, Diamanda was against an Arbok and Arbok tried to use Glare, but Shiranui played his ace in the hole when he Mega Evolved Diamanda. Diamanda's Magic Bounce reflected the Glare right back and Arbok was paralysed instead. The battle was over when Diamanda showed off an Explosion that gave Shiranui the win through knockout and point depletion.

Shiranui went to the Contest Hall, registered for the contest and was soon in the green room preparing his Ball Capsules.

Shiranui saw Chuck's battle and was somewhat glad he wasn't facing Blue for an Earth Badge; though he admitted to himself that Giovanni was still far more of a challenge at the time he battled at the gym.

With his contest plans sorted out, he made a call to Prof. Oak and had a party ready.
