 While his friends offer him support, {{an|Sophocles}} nervously waits for his match against [[Mina]] to start. Following {{Ash}}'s suggestion, Sophocles settles down after taking some deep breaths. {{an|Lillie}} asks her older brother {{an|Gladion}} to not hold back during their match, declaring that she wants to demonstrate [[Snowy]]'s full power, and Gladion agrees. Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] imagines her [[Manalo Conference]] victory speech while [[James]] dozes off, much to her displeasure.
-Once Sophocles's match begins, his {{TP|Sophocles|Vikavolt}} pursues Mina's {{p|Ribombee}} through the sky. Vikavolt uses {{m|Zap Cannon}}, but Ribombee easily dodges it. After a quick dive and change of direction, Ribombee throws a series of {{m|Pollen Puff}}s and strikes Vikavolt several times. After the bombardment, Ribombee tosses Vikavolt into the battlefield with {{m|Psychic}}. Vikavolt quickly recovers and uses another Zap Cannon, but Ribombee again dodges it. In its moment of disorientation, Vikavolt zips behind and grabs a hold of Ribombee with its mandibles. With its opponent immobilized, Vikavolt defeats it with a close-range {{m|Signal Beam}}. [[Nanu]] makes the official ruling and declares Sophocles the winner.

 [[File:SM131 Jessie VS James.png|thumb|left|250px|Jessie facing James]]
-Jessie and James's match begins, with them going by "Jessina" and "Jamesio", respectively. Once Nanu signals for the sixth match to begin, [[James's Mareanie]] uses {{m|Spike Cannon}}, but {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} deflects the move. James orders Mareanie to use {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, but Wobbuffet simply reflects the attack back with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. Wobbuffet's defenses continue to prevent any damage from being inflicted on it, and the battle goes nowhere. James realizes that the match will continue on indefinitely like this, so he whispers to Mareanie to pretend to be incapacitated. However, when Mareanie turns to him, James looks into her eyes and realizes that she wants to battle properly for him. He then decides to take the battle just as seriously and orders Mareanie to use Spike Cannon. Wobbuffet manages to use {{m|Counter}} in time, but Mareanie's continued onslaught of attacks eventually causes the defensive barrier to weaken. In a massive explosion, Wobbuffet is thrown into the air and knocked out, giving James the win, much to Jessie's dismay.

 [[File:SM131 Kiawe VS Acerola.png|thumb|250px|Kiawe facing Acerola]]
 Next, {{an|Kiawe}} and [[Acerola]] call out their Pokémon, {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} and {{p|Gengar|Rapooh}}, respectively. Acerola orders Rapooh to use {{m|Shadow Ball}}, though the attack is destroyed by Marowak's {{m|Bonemerang}}. Rapooh then uses {{m|Shadow Punch}}, but Marowak manages to block it with {{m|Shadow Bone}}. Rapooh retaliates with another Shadow Punch, which strikes Marowak, who is then immobilized by Rapooh's {{a|Cursed Body}} [[Ability]]. Acerola orders Rapooh to use {{m|Thief}}, and it promptly steals Marowak's bone club, instantly limiting Marowak's move-set. Rapooh takes the opportunity to lash Marowak with a Shadow Ball-Shadow Punch combination. As Rapooh readies another Shadow Punch, Marowak is freed from Cursed Body and slams into its opponent with {{m|Iron Head}}. The impact winds Rapooh, who then absorbs Marowak into its body. However, Marowak emerges from Rapooh's body with its bone club in hand. Acerola orders another Shadow Ball, but Marowak retaliates, batting the Shadow Ball back at Rapooh before striking it with Shadow Bone, defeating it and allowing Kiawe to advance to the next round.
 [[File:SM131 Lillie VS Gladion.png|thumb|left|250px|Lillie facing Gladion]]
-[[Caster]] announces the next battle between Gladion and Lillie. Lillie has Snowy summon {{m|Hail}}, instantly changing the battle conditions to suit Snowy's {{t|Ice}} type. Gladion quickly orders {{TP|Gladion|Umbreon}} to attack with {{m|Dark Pulse}}, though Snowy is uninjured as she hides amongst the growing frost. Gladion is mildly impressed by Snowy's {{a|Snow Cloak}} [[Ability]], admitting that Lillie is growing as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He orders Umbreon to use Shadow Ball, which smashes through Snowy's {{m|Aurora Veil}} and strikes its target. As the Hail conditions fade, Lillie decides to use her [[Z-Move]], and Snowy successfully lashes Umbreon with {{m|Subzero Slammer}}. Umbreon, however, is mostly unscathed and knocks Snowy out with a super-effective {{m|Iron Tail}}. As Lillie comforts Snowy in her arms, Hapu declares Gladion is the winner. Despite the outcome, {{an|Lusamine}} expresses pride in her children, admitting that she wished her husband [[Mohn]] could be there to watch.

-That night, the next match-ups are revealed on the [[Pokémon Center]] screen: Gladion and Jamesio, Ash and [[Hau]], Kiawe and Sophocles, and [[Guzma]] and {{an|Lana}}. Hau is particularly excited by his match-up, with his {{p|Decidueye}} and [[Ash's Rowlet]] exchanging a series of fighting words. Then, Rowlet flies out of the Pokémon Center to call for [[Toucannon's flock|its family]]. It notices a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Wingull}} passing by and promptly orders it to deliver the message.
