{{Ash}} takes on {{an|Gladion}} in the [[Manalo Conference]] finals. {{p|Zoroark}} charges ahead and uses {{m|Night Daze}}, though {{AP|Pikachu}} counters with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Gladion follows up with {{m|Shadow Claw}} and Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to block it. Zoroark then goes on a fury of Shadow Claws eventually striking its foe. Pikachu dusts himself off in time to leap upwards to evade another Night Daze, but Zoroark lashes him with a Shadow Claw as he descends towards the field. Gladion sees an opening, so he activates his [[Z-Ring]] to have Zoroark unleash the {{m|Never-Ending Nightmare}}. The [[Z-Move]] plunges the arena into darkness and a multitude of eerie hands pursue Pikachu. Ash orders a {{m|Quick Attack}}, but the dark hands are seemingly inescapable. Instead, Ash orders Pikachu to stop running and counters with a Z-Move of his own. Using {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}, Pikachu rushes through the wall of hands and strikes Zoroark. Gladion’s Z-Move still connects resulting in a large explosion. The smoke soon clears, and {{an|Professor Kukui}} declares both sides unable to battle, leaving Ash and Gladion with one Pokémon each remaining.

After [[recall]]ing their respective Pokémon, they return to their places. The two sides glare at each other. Ash compliments Gladion for being in perfect sync Zoroark, while Gladion admits only Ash would be able to break through his Z-Move like that. The tense battle atmosphere breaks as the two boys burst into laughter, taking the audience by surprise. Ash soon catches his breath and tells Gladion that this was their best battle yet, with Gladion agreeing on that. With that, the two sides decide to settle an old score, both sending out their {{p|Lycanroc}} as their final Pokémon. Ash and Gladion both open with {{m|Stone Edge}}, cancelling each other’s efforts out. Ash orders his {{AP|Lycanroc}} to use {{m|Accelerock}} which [[Gladion's Lycanroc]] intercepts with {{m|Counter}} before punching Ash's Lycanroc away. Gladion then goes for another Stone Edge, which Ash's Lycanroc evades by running alongside the attack, then goes to use {{m|Bite}}. Ash orders his Lycanroc to stop as his sees Lycanroc readying another Counter. Gladion switch tactics and orders a new Stone Edge, though Ash’s Lycanroc flips to the attack with its remarkable reflexes. Ash orders his Lycanroc to charge ahead and continue attacking. It dodges an oncoming Stone Edge and prepares to lash its opponent with an Accelrock. Gladion orders another Stone Edge, though Ash's Lycanroc jumps on top of the boulders and manages to hit Gladion's Lycanroc. Gladion is determined to stop Ash’s Lycanroc using the Stone Edge as a useful footing, though Ash’s dodges a set of Stone Edges and gets within range to attack. Gladion's Lycanroc grins as it uses Counter to deliver an uppercut to Ash's Lycanroc, who was unable to dodge because of its momentum. Ash’s Lycanroc hits the ground hard and soon returns to its feet in an act of defiance. Gladion admits that this match is particularly exciting, and Ash agrees.
