In the second battle of the second round, Gladion's opponent is {{adv|Moon}}. Moon reveals that she also saw a crack in the sky and asks Gladion to tell her about it. Gladion agrees, but only on the condition that Moon defeats him. During their battle, Moon proves to be an effective strategist and nearly defeats Gladion's {{p|Porygon}}. Despite this, Porygon eventually defeats Moon's final Pokémon through luck, giving him the win.

Due to the immense defense Type: Null possesses because of its iron mask as well as its incredible strength, Sun struggles to defeat his opponent. After Sun's strategy to get through Type: Null's mask fails, Gladion angrily tells him to quit fooling around and begins to question Sun's motivations for participating. Angered by Gladion's attitude, Sun angrily declares that he will obtain the 100 million yen he needs at any cost. As he does this, the cast on Sun's arm unravels, revealing a {{key|VII|Sparkling Stone}} underneath. A powerful energy shoots out from the crack in the sky and lands on the Sparkling Stone before moving towards Sun's {{p|Litten|En}}. The energy powers up En's {{m|Ember}}, allowing it to create a powerful [[Z-Move|sea of flames]] that defeat Type: Null. The strain of the attack causes Sun to pass out as he wonders just what move it was that En used. | ||
