{{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} walk onto the [[Manalo Stadium]] battlefield, joining all of the other [[Alola League]] participants.

{{an|Professor Kukui}} greets the League participants and crowd and declares the [[Manalo Conference]] to be open. [[ | {{an|Professor Kukui}} greets the League participants and crowd and declares the [[Manalo Conference]] to be open. [[Caster]] takes over, declaring his role as the announcer. He introduces the Manalo Conference's official judges, which are all four [[Island Kahuna]]s: [[Olivia]], [[Hala]], [[Hapu]], and [[Nanu]]. Caster then explains that 151 contestants will be competing for the title of Alola {{pkmn|Champion}}. They will be whittled down to the Top 16 in a series of [[Battle Royal]]-style matches. Soon, the participants get into their starting positions, spanning the entire perimeter of the battlefield. The Island Kahunas raise their hands and a countdown begins, with all of the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s calling out their respective Pokémon partners. | ||
The countdown reaches zero and the preliminary round officially begins, kicking off the Manalo Conference. [[Hiroki]] rushes out with his {{p|Mudbray}}, ordering any challengers to come at him. However, he and Mudbray are immediately struck by a combination attack, making him the first to be knocked out of the competition. {{AP|Pikachu}} lands an {{m|Iron Tail}} on a {{p|Sudowoodo}}'s forehead, which causes it to immediately faint. As Ash cheers for his early victory, Kiawe orders him to pay attention to the fast-approaching {{p|Poliwrath}}. Pikachu launches an {{m|Electroweb}} attack to defeat Poliwrath, also knocking out a nearby {{p|Araquanid}} in the process. Meanwhile, [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] takes a direct {{m|Flamethrower}} from a {{p|Salamence}}, before striking it away with a {{m|Dragon Tail}}. Lillie joins the scuffle, and has [[Snowy]] {{status|frozen|freeze}} Salamence with a {{m|Powder Snow}}, taking the {{t|Dragon}} type out of the fight. [[Sandy]] and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Shaymin}} quickly defeat three opponents, with Lana and Mallow congratulating them. Sophocles has {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}} bowl a {{p|Shiinotic}} out the way with {{m|Zing Zap}}. A {{p|Politoed}} leaps and grabs Togedemaru, but it is quickly defeated by Togedemaru's newly learned {{m|Spiky Shield}}. From a sky-box, [[Wicke]] sees {{an|Faba}} defeating a competitor's {{p|Boldore}} with his {{p|Alakazam}}. | The countdown reaches zero and the preliminary round officially begins, kicking off the Manalo Conference.

Later, Kukui watches from the grandstand as Guzma continues defeating opponents, concerned that the Team Skull leader's clearance of the preliminaries may jeopardize the Alola League's future. With seventeen contestants remaining, only one more Trainer has to be eliminated before the round can mark its end. Jessie's Mimikyu confronts Ash's Pikachu, who uses Electroweb to block its oncoming Shadow Ball, leading to an explosion. James yells at Jessie to abandon the battle so they can both get into the next round. At that moment, Kiawe's Turtonator defeats another Trainer's {{p|Metagross}} with an {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}, concluding the preliminary round. Mimikyu, however, doesn't care and continues to attack, forcing Jessie to [[recall]] it back into its [[Luxury Ball]]. Jessie runs over to James, relieved to have just qualified for the next round. All of the qualifying participants are soon revealed, including Ash, all of his classmates, Jessie and James, Mina, Acerola, Ilima, Gladion, Faba, [[Samson Oak]], Guzma, and [[Hau]]. | Later, Kukui watches from the grandstand as Guzma continues defeating opponents, concerned that the Team Skull leader's clearance of the preliminaries may jeopardize the Alola League's future.

Overnight, the group stop off at the League [[Pokémon Center]] to have their Pokémon healed up from the day's intense matches by the gathered [[Nurse Joy]]s of [[Alola]]. Ilima urges his injured Eevee to take it easy, though it seems disappointed that it still needs to recover. Shortly after, | Overnight, the group stop off at the League [[Pokémon Center]] to have their Pokémon healed up from the day's intense matches by the gathered [[Nurse Joy]]s of [[Alola]]. Ilima urges his injured Eevee to take it easy, though it seems disappointed that it still needs to recover. Shortly after, Caster appears on the Pokémon Center [[television]] screen to announce the next round's pairings. Ash and Faba are revealed to be the first pair, making Ash happy to be the first one to battle, while Faba starts thinking about plans to use against Ash. The next pair is revealed to be Ilima versus Guzma, to which the [[Team Skull]] Boss responds with a satisfying smirk. The third match is Hau versus Samson Oak, and Hau is determined to win. The fourth battle is revealed to take place between Mallow and Lana, surprising the two childhood friends. As Sophocles learns that he'll be facing Mina in the fifth battle, he gets all nervous. In their van, Jessie and James follow the announcement as well, and are shocked to see themselves in the sixth pair, meaning that only one of them has the chance of advancing past the first round. The seventh battle is revealed to be between Kiawe and Acerola, making Kiawe express his usual fiery confidence. And finally, the eighth battle is revealed to take place between Lillie and Gladion, making Lillie surprised that she's going to face her big brother. With all the match-ups revealed, Ash calls for everyone to give it their all, and his classmates respond back with a resounding cheer. | ||
