We treat fluctuating pion fields around a rotating Skyrmion by means of Dirac's quantization method. The rotational collective motion of the Skyrmion is described by collective coordinates, and conventional gauge-fixing conditions are imposed. Taking into account all the relevant terms at the tree level appearing in the Hamiltonian, we show that pion-nucleon scattering amplitudes exhibit the {ital P}-wave Born amplitudes attributed to the Yukawa coupling of order {radical}{ital N}{sub {ital c}} , which is consistent with the prediction of chiral symmetry such as the Adler-Weisberger relation. This resolves the difficulty that the Skyrme model predicts a wrong {ital N}{sub {ital c}} dependence for the coupling of order {ital N}{sub {ital c}}{sup {minus}3/2}.
