As the first round of the [[Manalo Conference]] is about to begin, {{Ash}} and {{an|Faba}} are the first pair of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to face each other. [[Caster]] mentions how Ash has cleared all four [[island challenge|grand trials]], while Faba is one of [[Aether Paradise]]'s elite and a {{type|Psychic}} [[type expert|user]]. [[Hala]], [[battle judge|refereeing]] the match, asks both Trainers to send out their Pokémon, and Faba sends out his {{p|Hypno}}, while Ash chooses {{AP|Pikachu}}. However, before Pikachu can leap down from Ash's shoulder, Faba secretly has Hypno use {{m|Psychic}} to pick one of the {{i|Poké Ball}}s on Ash's belt and drop it on the field, causing {{AP|Meltan}} to come out, much to Ash's surprise. However, upon seeing that Meltan likes the crowd's attention and wants to battle, he decides to use it instead of Pikachu. | As the first round of the [[Manalo Conference]] is about to begin, {{Ash}} and {{an|Faba}} are the first pair of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to face each other.

As Caster informs the crowd that Meltan is a newly discovered {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}} of Pokémon, Faba remembers the previous night, when he secretly spied upon Ash's [[party|team]] to determine which Pokémon was the weakest. Settling on Meltan, he resolved to bring it out, wanting to make sure he would get to battle {{an|Professor Kukui|the Masked Royal}}. {{ashcl|Ash's classmates}}, thinking Ash chose Meltan on purpose, are wondering if he has a plan for it. Caster explains that the first round consists of one-on-one {{pkmn|battle|Single Battles}} before Hala officially starts the match. Meltan attacks with {{m|Flash Cannon}}, but Hypno avoids it. Meltan tries again with {{m|Headbutt}}, which is blocked by Hypno's {{m|Reflect}}. Unaware of Meltan noticing Hypno's pendulum, Faba has Hypno use {{m|Hypnosis}}. Ash tells Meltan not to look, but instead, it leaps forward and happily latches onto Hypno's pendulum. Hypno stops attacking and furiously tries to shake Meltan off, but by the time that happens, Meltan has already melted a part of the pendulum away, much to the shock of both Faba and Ash. | As Caster informs the crowd that Meltan is a newly discovered {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}} of Pokémon, Faba remembers the previous night, when he secretly spied upon Ash's [[party|team]] to determine which Pokémon was the weakest.

Recovering from his own shock, Ash then has Meltan attack with Flash Cannon, which hits the dismayed Hypno head-on, defeating it and giving Ash the victory. Faba tries to protest, but Hala says Meltan simply made use of its natural abilities, making the move perfectly legal. Upon exiting the battlefield, Ash encounters [[Ilima]], who congratulates him on his victory before heading out for his own battle. | ||
The second pair of Trainers, Ilima and [[Guzma]], enter the battlefield, with Ilima's fan-girls cheering for him. Caster points out that Ilima has competed in the [[Kalos League]], making him a favorite to win the tournament. He also introduces Guzma, who, while unknown compared to Ilima, managed to clear the preliminary round without taking a single hit. In the crowd, [[Tupp]] is annoyed at Ilima and leads his fellow {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s into a cheer for Guzma. | The second pair of Trainers, Ilima and [[Guzma]], enter the battlefield, with Ilima's fan-girls cheering for him.

As {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Mallow}} walk towards the battlefield, Mallow expresses her nervousness, but Lana encourages her, telling her to treat it as any other match. Arriving at the battlefield, they take their positions and send out their Pokémon: {{TP|Lana|Primarina}} and {{TP|Mallow|Tsareena}}. From the stands, Ash and the rest of his classmates wish both of them luck. Olivia starts the battle, and Mallow makes the first move by ordering a {{m|Magical Leaf}}. Lana counters with {{m|Sparkling Aria}}, which not only stops Mallow's attack, but also attacks Tsareena at the same time. Unable to dodge the attack completely, Tsareena is hit, taking the first blow of the battle. {{an|Lillie}} says that Tsareena, who mostly specializes in close-range combat, isn't easily going to get close enough, but Rotom says that if she ''does'' get close enough, she will win. | As {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Mallow}} walk towards the battlefield, Mallow expresses her nervousness, but Lana encourages her, telling her to treat it as any other match.

Tsareena is forced to stay on the defensive as Lana continues her relentless assault. As another Sparkling Aria is fired, Mallow has Tsareena block it with {{m|Trop Kick}}, before charging in for a {{m|Stomp}}. However, Lana then surprises Mallow by having Primarina use {{m|Icy Wind}}, stopping Tsareena on her tracks. In the crowd, Mallow's classmates are also surprised to see that Lana has taught Primarina an {{t|Ice}} [[move]] in preparation of fighting against {{t|Grass}} types. Another Icy Wind blows Tsareena back, and she falls on her knees. Surprisingly, Mallow suddenly adones a peaceful look and compliments Lana, before taking out Tsareena's Poké Ball. However, when she tries to [[recall]] Tsareena, it doesn't work, and Tsareena forces herself back to her feet. Lana tells Mallow how she's always liked how considerate she is of others, but right now, Tsareena wants to keep fighting | Tsareena is forced to stay on the defensive as Lana continues her relentless assault.

Lana tells Mallow how she's always liked how considerate she is of others, but right now, Tsareena wants to keep fighting by her side. This makes Mallow remember the times she's shared with Tsareena, ever since she was a {{p|Bounsweet}} and a {{p|Steenee}}. | ||
Her resolve renewed, Mallow puts Tsareena's Poké Ball away and declares that she will keep fighting to win by her side. As the two Pokémon start exchanging attacks again, Mallow understands that Tsareena can't take another blow, which means they must finish the battle with their next attack to have any hopes of winning. She insecurely looks at her [[Z-Ring]], but looking at Tsareena, she is reassured. Tsareena walks up to her Trainer and the two embrace each other. Suddenly, Mallow's [[Grassium Z]] starts to glow, and Mallow feels the Z-Power flowing through her. She and Tsareena perform the {{m|Bloom Doom}} pose together, covering the whole battlefield in flowers. Lana is impressed, but refuses to lose, executing her own Z-Move, {{m|Oceanic Operetta}}, which she uses to block Mallow's Z-Move. For a few intense moments, the two Z-Moves clash, eventually cancelling each other out, causing the water from Lana's Z-Move to rain all over the battlefield. Lana orders an {{m|Aqua Jet}}, which Tsareena tries to counter with Trop Kick, but her exhaustion catches up to her, and she stumbles, resulting in the Aqua Jet hitting her dead on and causing her to [[fainting|faint]]. Moved to tears by the emotional battle, Olivia declares Lana the victor. | Her resolve renewed, Mallow puts Tsareena's Poké Ball away and declares that she will keep fighting to win by her side.
