The setting for the competition

In the past, Ilima had taken part in a tournament, only to lose to Ikari. This caused a fierce rivalry between them ever since.

In the present, Ilima entered into the competition again. He found himself going up against Ikari in the finals, but he succeeded in winning the competition with his Smeargle.
