{{p|Lucario}} foils {{AP|Naganadel}}’s {{m|X-Scissor}} with a counter {{m|Close Combat}}. {{Ash}} retaliates with an onslaught of {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, though he realizes his [[type]] matchup error as Lucario rushes through with ease. Lucario replies with a {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, to which Naganadel swiftly dodges. It reappears behind Lucario to land a surprise {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack. Lucario manages to brace itself and emerges unscathed before launching into a Close Combat. This time Naganadel’s X-Scissor hits its mark and pushes Lucario backwards. Lucario sprints into action with {{m|Extreme Speed}}, dodging Naganadel's counter X-Scissors before striking its opponent from above. As the dust settles, Naganadel rises into the air once again. The two sides launch a Dragon Pulse, with the attacks cancelling each other out. Lucario readies another Close Combat as Naganadel rushes in with X-Scissor. While Lucario holds back Naganadel’s main stinger, Naganadel flicks out its other two needles and gives Lucario a blast of Dragon Pulse. Lucario tries to recover from the impact, but it collapses in defeat. Naganadel is thrilled with its battle debut victory, spinning around in celebration. {{an|Professor Kukui}} is impressed with the round, remarking that Ash used his earlier strategy to defeat {{AP|Melmetal}} against him. Ash admits he had to do something special to defeat Lucario. | |||
The two opponents decide to resume their fiery clash, sending out {{AP|Torracat}} and {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}. Torracat’s bell is still flaring from absorbing Incineroar's {{m|Blast Burn}} from their earlier clash. Both sides slowly prowl around one another, exchanging intense stares as they size each other up. The rivalry flares again as Torracat and Incineroar approach with {{m|Flame Charge}} and {{m|Darkest Lariat}} respectively. Torracat manages to knock Incineroar off-balance before rebounding to land a direct Flame Charge on it. Ash orders a {{m|Fire Fang}}, but it is sent backwards when its attack collides with Incineroar's Throat Chop. | |||
Incineroar {{m|Bulk Up|Bulks Up}} in anticipation for the increasingly heated clashes. It blocks a {{m|Fire Blast}} with its bare hands before crushing the flames with its brute strength. Torracat leaps into action with Flame Charge, first striking Incineroar in the chest before going for an attack from above and then behind to knock Incineroar onto the ground. Following the triple hit, Torracat rushes in for a Fire Fang only to grabbed by Incineroar. As Torracat attempts to paw at its opponent, Incineroar hits him backwards with a Throat Chop. Torracat picks itself up and erupts into flames, and Incineroar does the same. Torracat scores a direct hit with {{m|Revenge}}, knocking Incineroar to its knees. | |||
The heat swells as Incineroar gets up causing both sides to glow with a vibrant red hue. Both Ash and Kukui equip their [[Z-Ring]]s with their [[Firium Z]]s, setting the battlefield alight with a double {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}. As the fireball continues to swirl, Torracat and Incineroar are ordered to rush inside. A massive explosion occurs as Incineroar's Throat Chop and Torracat's Revenge collide. Both sides remain standing, breathing heavily from their exhaustive efforts. Torracat wills itself to resist collapsing, though Incineroar is overwhelmed and collapses knocked out. Torracat commemorates the victory over its long-time rival with a mighty roar as it [[Evolution|evolves]] into an Incineroar. Ash rushes to officially congratulate his newly-evolved Pokémon only to notice Incineroar is frozen in position. [[Hala]] observes carefully before fatefully ruling Ash’s Incineroar also out of the match. | |||
Kukui, with a {{i|Poké Ball}} in hand, prepares to send out his next selection. Unexpectedly {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} arrives in [[Manalo Stadium]]. The guardian deity slaps away Kukui's Poké Ball, and Ash realizes it came here to battle them. Tapu Koko agrees, so Kukui allows for the surprising addition to let it be his final Pokémon against Ash. The crowd erupts into cheers as the already intense [[Full Battle]] becomes an unprecedented spectacle of power. Pikachu is prepared to take on his {{t|Electric}} rival, though Ash instead calls on Naganadel for assistance. Before the round begins, Tapu Koko's [[Ability]] transforms the battlefield into an {{m|Electric Terrain}}. | |||
