At Aether Paradise, a crowd and members of the press have gathered, with {{an|Professor Burnet}} welcoming Ash and his classmates. The press conference begins, during which Professor Kukui announces the first-ever [[Alola]]n {{al|Pokémon League}}, in which the winner of the [[Pokémon League Conference|tournament]] will become Alola's first-ever {{pkmn|Champion}}. The press conference is broadcast live across the [[region]] and observed by people all over Alola, including {{an|Gladion}} and {{TRT}}. The trio starts dreaming about the possibilities achievable through winning a championship, like giving the entire archipelago as a gift to {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}}. | At Aether Paradise, a crowd and members of the press have gathered, with {{an|Professor Burnet}} welcoming Ash and his classmates.

Back at Aether Paradise, Kukui presents the crowd with [[island kahuna]]s [[Hala]], [[Nanu]], [[Olivia]], and [[Hapu]], as well as {{an|Lusamine}} of the [[Aether Foundation]], who have agreed to support his idea. The kahunas mention the custom of [[island challenge]] and how it once included a now-abandoned tradition in which those who cleared all four grand trials must climb to the summit of [[Mount Lanakila]] and battle each other there, before explaining that Professor Kukui decided to revive that tradition in a form that anyone can participate in. Lusamine reveals that the Aether Foundation is building the [[Manalo Stadium|Pokémon League stadium]] a short distance away from Aether Paradise. | Back at Aether Paradise, Kukui presents the crowd with [[island kahuna]]s [[Hala]], [[Nanu]], [[Olivia]], and [[Hapu]], as well as {{an|Lusamine}} of the [[Aether Foundation]], who have agreed to support his idea.

After the press conference ends, both Ash and {{an|Kiawe}} immediately decide to join the League. When Principal Oak asks the rest of Ash's classmates if they want to join too, {{an|Lana}} is quick to accept, and Sophocles also shows interest due to his [[SM106|newly evolved]] {{TP|Sophocles|Vikavolt}}. Mallow also encourages {{an|Lillie}} to join, reminding her of the successful [[Double Battle]] she had [[SM080|a while back]], though both girls are uncertain about participating. | After the press conference ends, both Ash and {{an|Kiawe}} immediately decide to join the League.

At the Pokémon School, Kukui is in the middle of explaining the Pokémon League to his class when Team Skull starts calling to him from the schoolyard, telling him to come talk to them. He goes down and tells them to save their talk for later, but his attitude changes when he recognizes Guzma. Ash and his classmates follow Kukui to the schoolyard, and Plumeria tells them they can witness the match between Kukui and Guzma. Guzma emphasizes that he is not going to battle Kukui, but rather destroy him. He goes on to call the island challenge and island kahunas outdated customs and adds that a Pokémon League is just as unnecessary, as he already considers himself the strongest Trainer around. Kukui asks why he won't just join the League to prove his strength, but Guzma shoots down the idea. He swears to destroy the League if Kukui doesn't back down. Kukui refuses, noting that Guzma hasn't changed at all. Ash then steps in and asks Guzma to have a battle with him. Guzma notices Ash's [[Z-Power Ring]], and Ash tells him that he has cleared all four grand trials. Ash instantly reminds Guzma of Kukui, so he accepts his challenge. Kukui tries to talk to Ash, but he asks Kukui to leave this to him, which he agrees to, saying that he will act as the [[Battle judge|referee]]. Guzma swears to destroy Ash, but Kukui tells Guzma not to underestimate him. | At the Pokémon School, Kukui is in the middle of explaining the Pokémon League to his class when Team Skull starts calling to him from the schoolyard, telling him to come talk to them.

As the two prepare to battle, Ash chooses Pikachu, while Guzma sends out {{p|Golisopod}}. {{Rotom}} scans Golisopod and gives Ash its [[Pokédex]] entry, noting that Pikachu has the [[type]] advantage over his {{t|Bug}}/{{type|Water}} opponent. However, once Kukui starts the battle, Guzma immediately calls for a {{m|First Impression}}, dealing the first blow to Pikachu. Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}}, but the attack is ineffective against Golisopod's diamond-hard armor. Guzma orders a {{m|Pin Missile}}, which Pikachu counters with {{m|Electroweb}} before using {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, Golisopod deflects the normally super-effective move, much to Ash and Rotom's surprise. Ash decides to put the results of his training to use and performs Corkscrew Crash with Pikachu. However, Golisopod blocks and deflects the Z-Move with its armor-plated hands, surprising everyone. Guzma then orders Golisopod to use {{m|Liquidation}}, striking Pikachu while he is still reorienting himself. Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Golisopod retaliates with {{m|Poison Jab}}, {{status|poison}}ing Pikachu in the process. Pikachu attacks with Iron Tail, but gets stopped in his tracks by a volley of Pin Missiles from Golisopod. Despite the poison and the numerous hits, Pikachu is still able to stand up. Ash orders a Quick Attack, and this time, Pikachu dodges the incoming Poison Jab and strikes Golisopod's unarmored underside, causing the tall Bug type to flinch. | As the two prepare to battle, Ash chooses Pikachu, while Guzma sends out {{p|Golisopod}}. {{Rotom}} scans Golisopod and gives Ash its [[Pokédex]] entry, noting that Pikachu has the [[type]] advantage over his {{t|Bug}}/{{type|Water}} opponent.

Although Pikachu is getting weaker as the battle wages on, he still refuses to stay down, much to Guzma's irritation. Pikachu and Golisopod stare at each other for a moment, until Golisopod suddenly turns and uses its {{a|Emergency Exit}} [[Ability]] to return to its {{i|Poké Ball}}, surprising Ash and Pikachu. Guzma says that Golisopod deemed Ash so weak that it lost all interest, irritating Ash. Kukui asks if Guzma is throwing the match, and he responds that he has no interest in continuing a battle with an obvious outcome. Ash protests that he can't say that for sure unless he finishes the battle, but Guzma dismisses him. Ash's attention then turns to Pikachu, who collapses from the effects of the poison. Kiawe tosses Ash a [[Pecha Berry]], which he gives to Pikachu to heal his poison. Plumeria tells Ash that he should join Team Skull, but he rejects the suggestion without a second of hesitation. Guzma declares that he will destroy the Pokémon League while all of Alola is watching, but Kukui then steps in and asks Guzma if he's going to just run away again, just like he did with the island challenge. Guzma and Kukui glare at each other for a while, until Guzma says that he almost let himself be thrown off again and that Ash made him change his mind about destroying Kukui. He and the rest of Team Skull then turn around and walk away. | Although Pikachu is getting weaker as the battle wages on, he still refuses to stay down, much to Guzma's irritation.
