The next day, an announcer named {{al|Anna}} broadcasts the race throughout the islands, explaining the rules and racecourse, which is divided into three segments. Trainers will race with their stacks in the first leg while going over several obstacles, then rejoin their Pokémon in the second and pull them along using wagons, before leaving them behind in the third segment where the Pokémon will race alone. In addition to those who drop their pancakes, Pokémon who use attacks to disrupt their opponents will also be disqualified. {{ashfr|Ash's classmates}} all discuss the event, certain of their own victory, as {{an|Lillie}} cheers them on from the stands. Identified as the previous champion, Nina is briefly interviewed; she comments that she wants to have fun and stay safe, so winning isn't a priority for her. | The next day, an announcer named {{al|Anna}} broadcasts the race throughout the islands, explaining the rules and racecourse, which is divided into three segments.

As the race begins, the Trainers all rush ahead, ending up coming across a section of balance beams they have to walk over. Many of them end up falling off, including {{an|Sophocles}}, disqualifying them from the race. Sophocles is briefly startled by a group of Alolan {{p|Muk}} assigned to eat up the fallen pancakes and keep the course clean. The other competitors make it to the second part of the race with Ash, Nina and Jessie among those in the lead, but Jessie is frequently distracted by {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} trying to attack Pikachu due to its grudge. From the stands, Rotom notices that [[Samson Oak]] is racing with a {{p|Komala}} and brings up its information. James wheels along a Bewear, revealed to be {{MTR}} and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} riding in a robot so they can speed along in the final leg; frustrated from his payload, James insinuates that Meowth and Wobbuffet have been putting on weight after living the good life in | As the race begins, the Trainers all rush ahead, ending up coming across a section of balance beams they have to walk over.

Left behind with the other Pokémon whose Trainers have been eliminated, {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}} is unhappy with Sophocles as he catches up to it and attacks Sophocles for his failure. | ||
In the last section of the race, the Pokémon make their way across a bridge as their Trainers return to the stands to watch their progress. Without Jessie to keep it in line, Mimikyu prepares another {{m|Shadow Ball}} to attack Pikachu with, but Bounsweet loses its balances and topples into Mimikyu, causing both their pancakes to drop; Mimikyu's misfired attack ends up popping {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}'s water balloon holding its pancakes, ruining its stack as well. Mallow and [[Lana]] are disappointed while Jessie is infuriated at Mimikyu. | In the last section of the race, the Pokémon make their way across a bridge as their Trainers return to the stands to watch their progress.

The remaining competitors - Meowth, Pikachu, Raichu and Komala - race across rocky terrain, with Meowth struggling to keep the robot steady. Spurred on by Raichu's smug behavior, Pikachu pushes itself to go faster, ending up neck and neck with Raichu and tying for the lead. Exhausted from the stuffy costume of the Robo-Racer, Meowth decides to activate its thrusters, sending the robot racing ahead and overtaking Pikachu and Raichu. Before Meowth can cross the finish line, Bewear shows up and retrieves Meowth and Wobbuffet, destroying the Robo-Racer and revealing its true nature to the onlookers, before picking up Jessie and James and running away. Everyone is stunned at the sight, including Pikachu and Raichu, inadvertently allowing Samson Oak's Komala to race ahead of them. The two Mouse Pokémon realize this, but are seconds too late as Komala ends up winning by a nose, with Pikachu and Raichu both tying for second place. | The remaining competitors - Meowth, Pikachu, Raichu and Komala - race across rocky terrain, with Meowth struggling to keep the robot steady.

At a prize-giving ceremony, Ash and Rotom congratulate Pikachu for its efforts. Raichu is upset that it lost, but Nina consoles it, reminding it that it had fun and could compete for first place next year. The other Trainers console their Pokémon as well, while Mallow suggests to Lillie she could race the following year with the Pokémon that hatches from the Egg she was given. Ash notes that Kiawe is nowhere to be seen; the scene cuts away to Kiawe and Turtonator, having made no visible progress. Despite Turtonator's concern, Kiawe swears not to drop out of the race. | At a prize-giving ceremony, Ash and Rotom congratulate Pikachu for its efforts.
