At Aether Paradise, a crowd and members of press have gathered, with [[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}}.

Back at Aether Paradise, Kukui presents the crowd with [[Island Kahuna]]s [[Hala]], [[Nanu]], [[Olivia]], and [[Hapu]], as well as [[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 an 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 Pokémon League stadium a short distance away from Aether Paradise.

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.

As the two Trainers prepare for 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, no sooner has Kukui given the signal to start the battle, when Guzma already calls for a {{m|First Impression}}, dealing the first blow on Pikachu. Plumeria brags that no one has been able to avoid First Impression. Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}}, but the attack barely does anything against Golisopod's diamond-hard armor. Guzma orders a {{m|Pin Missile}}, which Pikachu counters with {{m|Electroweb}}, before using {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, even though the [[move]] is super effective, Golisopod is able to deflect it, 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 is able to block and deflect even this Z-Move with its armor-plated hands, surprising everyone. Guzma then order Golisopod to use {{m|Liquidation}}, striking Pikachu while he's still re-orienting himself. Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Golisopod retalliates with {{m|Poison Jab}}, {{status|poison}}ing Pikachu in the process. The poisoned Pikachu attacks with Iron Tail, but gets stopped on his tracks by a volley of Pin Missiles from Golisopod. The Grunts are cheering for Guzma's success, while Pikachu, despite the poison and the numerous hits, is still able to stand up. Ash orders a Quick Attack, and this time, Pikachu is able to dodge the incoming Poison Jab and strike Golisopod's unarmored underside, causing the tall Bug type to flinch.

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}} to return to its [[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 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.

Later, back at the Shady House, Tupp asks Plumeria where Guzma is, and she replies that he's making destruction plans in his room. Upstairs, Guzma recalls Kukui's words about running away, and punches the wall in front of him in frustration.
