As the first round of the [[Manalo Conference]] is about to get underway, {{Ash}} and {{an|Faba}} are the first pair of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to enter the battlefield to face each other. [[Jīkyō]] mentions how Ash has cleared all four [[island challenge|grand trials]], while Faba is of [[Aether Paradise]]'s elite and a {{type|Psychic}} [[type expert|user]]. [[Hala]], [[battle judge|refereeing]] the match, asks both Trainers to sent out their Pokémon, and Faba sends out his {{p|Hypno}}, while Ash prepares to choose {{AP|Pikachu}}. However, before Pikachu can leap down from Ash's shoulder, Faba secretly has Hypno use {{m|Psychic}}, picking one of the {{i|Poké Ball}}s on Ash's belt and dropping it onto the field, causing {{AP|Meltan}} to be sent out, much to Ash's surprise. However, upon seeing that Meltan likes the crowd's attention and is raring to go, he decides to use it instead of Pikachu, apologizing his partner for the unexpected change in plans. | As the first round of the [[Manalo Conference]] is about to get underway, {{Ash}} and {{an|Faba}} are the first pair of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to enter the battlefield to face each other.

Settling on Meltan, he had now made sure to bring it out, wanting to make sure he'd get to battle {{an|Professor Kukui|the Masked Royal}}. {{ashcl|Ash's classmates}}, thinking Ash chose Meltan on purpose, are wondering if he has a plan for it. Jīkyō explains that the first round consists of one-on-one {{pkmn|battle|Single Battles}}, before Hala officially starts the match. Meltan attacks with {{m|Flash Cannon}}, but Hypno avoids it. Meltan tries again with {{m|Headbutt}}, which is blocked by Hypno's {{m|Reflect}}. Unaware of Meltan noticing Hypno's pendulum, Faba assumes he's already on his way to an easy victory and has Hypno use {{m|Hypnosis}}. Ash tells Meltan not to look, but instead, it leaps forward and happily latches onto Hypno's pendulum. Hypno stops attacking and furiously tries to shake Meltan off, but by the time that happens, Meltan has already melted a part of the pendulum, much to the shock of both Faba and Ash. Recovering from his momentary shock, Ash has Meltan attack with Flash Cannon, which hits the dismayed Hypno head on, taking it out of the fight and giving Ash his first round victory. Faba tries to protest, but Hala says that Meltan simply made use of its natural abilities, making the move perfectly legal, much to Faba's dismay. Upon exiting the battlefield, Ash encounters [[Ilima]], who congratulates him on his victory, before heading out for his own battle. | ||
The second pair of Trainers, Ilima and [[Guzma]], have entered the battlefield. Jīkyō makes sure to notice Ilima's fangirls cheering for Ilima and point out the fact that he has competed in the [[Kalos League]], making him a favorite to win the tournament. The announcer also introduces Guzma, who, while unknown compared to Ilima, managed to clear the preliminary round without taking a single hit. In the crowd, [[Tupp]] is annoyed at Ilima and leads his fellow {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s into a cheering song for Guzma. | The second pair of Trainers, Ilima and [[Guzma]], have entered the battlefield.

Ilima sends out a {{p|Kangaskhan}}, while Guzma sends out his {{p|Scizor}}. Hala tells both Trainers to battle fairly before starting the match. Kangaskhan begins the face-off with a {{m|Power-Up Punch}}, avoiding Scizor's {{m|Bullet Punch}} to deal the first hit. An orange glow surrounds Kangaskhan to signify her {{stat|Attack}} power rising, and {{Rotom}} points out that Power-Up Punch gets stronger with each hit. Kangaskhan uses Power-Up Punch again, but Guzma has Scizor avoid the attack with {{m|Agility}}. Ilima compliments Guzma's skills, but then reveals a [[Key Stone]], [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] Kangaskhan into Mega Kangaskhan. With the child Kangaskhan now temporarily grown up thanks to Mega Evolution, the mother and child attack Scizor {{a|Parental Bond|together}} with Power-Up Punch, before following up with {{m|Rock Slide}}. Although Scizor dodges the mother's rocks with Agility and smacks the child's rocks aside, it is then struck by a simultaneous {{m|Low Kick}} from both of them. | Ilima sends out a {{p|Kangaskhan}}, while Guzma sends out his {{p|Scizor}}.

As Ilima seems to have Guzma backed into a corner, he orders another Power-Up Punch, but Guzma orders Scizor to dodge backwards, avoiding the child's punch. As the mother prepares to attack, she suddenly hesitates, and Guzma takes the opportunity to have Scizor use {{m|X-Scissor}} on her. As the Kangaskhan pair attacks again, Scizor once again dodges to a specific direction, avoiding the child's attack and causing the mother to hesitate, leaving her open for another X-Scissor. {{an|Sophocles}} wonders why Scizor's attacks suddenly started hitting, and {{an|Kiawe}} explains that Scizor is now constantly seeking a position where it has both of its opponents in a | As Ilima seems to have Guzma backed into a corner, he orders another Power-Up Punch, but Guzma orders Scizor to dodge backwards, avoiding the child's punch.

With the child in the way, the mother will hesitate to attack in fear of hurting her offspring, giving Scizor a chance to attack her. With the tide of the battle turned, Kangaskhan is starting to get worn out, and Guzma orders one more X-Scissor to finish the job. Ilima tells Kangaskhan to dodge, but she's unable to out of exhaustion, and is struck down. As the child Kangaskhan reverts to its regular form and climbs back into its pouch, Hala declares Guzma the winner. In the stands, the Team Skull Grunts celebrate and Ilima's fan girls cry in disappointment, while Jīkyō exclaims his surprise at the front runner getting defeated on the first round. | ||
The third battle is between [[Hau]]'s {{alo|Raichu}} and [[Samson Oak]]'s Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}}. With its superior {{stat|Speed}}, Raichu is easily able to keep ahead of its opponent. Hau orders a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Exeggutor easily endures the attack. Samson has Exeggutor counterattack with {{m|Dragon Hammer}}, but Raichu dodges it with {{m|Quick Attack}}, before using {{m|Focus Blast}}, causing the tall Pokémon to topple down in defeat. In the stands, Hala looks proudly at his grandson as [[Olivia]] declares Hau the winner. | The third battle is between [[Hau]]'s {{alo|Raichu}} and [[Samson Oak]]'s Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}}.
