Ash and Tina eagerly decide to enter. In his first match, Ash faces Ace Trainer Rochelle from Lilycove City, whom he defeats using his Gigantamax Gengar. Meanwhile, Tina loses her first battle and is eliminated from the tournament. In the second round, Ash defeats Ace Trainer Axel from Hau'oli City with the help of his Mega Lucario. In the finals, Ash faces Scottie/Bettie, using his Dracovish, Sirfetch'd, and Pikachu against their Torchic, Solgaleo, and Pikachu. During the battle, Red arrives to observe the match. Once Ash has emerged victorious, Red leaves the stadium and displays interest in facing Ash someday. At the awards ceremony, Leon demands Ash to battle him like he promised, which Ash happily agrees to.
