Kiawe goes up against [[Mad Magmar]] and [[Mr. Electric]] as [[Viren]], sitting in the stands nearby, orders his minions to teach him a lesson. Turtonator starts off with a Flamethrower, though the attack fails to do any damage to {{p|Magmortar}}. Mr. Electric orders his {{p|Electivire}} to use {{m|Thunder Punch}}. Turtonator, however, uses {{m|Shell Smash}} and easily avoids the attack with its now-boosted {{stat|Speed}}, before defeating both Magmortar and Electivire with a single Dragon Tail. Viren is in shock as Olivia officially declares the pair unable to continue. | Kiawe goes up against [[Mad Magmar]] and [[Mr. Electric]] as [[Viren]], sitting in the stands nearby, orders his minions to teach him a lesson.

With 34 Trainers now remaining, the crowd's attention turns to Ilima, who has his {{p|Eevee}} unleash an overwhelming {{m|Last Resort}} attack, which defeats all of the Team Skull Grunts with one hit. Ilima is then immediately faced by Plumeria, who tells her {{p|Salazzle}} to use {{m|Sludge Wave}}. Ilima has Eevee use {{m|Quick Attack}} to leap over the attack and to Salazzle's position. Salazzle lashes Eevee with {{m|Dragon Claw}} and follows up with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. While Eevee manages to evade much of the Dragon Pulse, one of its back legs is injured.

Plumeria, however, is not disappointed by her effort, admitting that she already did what she came to do. Eevee limps over to Ilima, its condition instantly concerning him. | ||
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 | Overnight, the group stops 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. | ||
