The next day, Ash and his [[party|team]] begin running along the beach as part of their training. Meanwhile, in [[Hau'oli City]], Team Rocket notices a poster about the Pokémon League and decides to start training for it as well. Just then, Tupp, Rapp, and Zipp arrive, mocking the trio and performing their introduction rap. Not wanting to be outdone, Team Rocket performs a rap version of their own {{motto}}, leaving [[James]] and {{MTR}} momentarily exhausted. While both trios prepare to battle, Guzma steps in and says that he will deal with the Team Rocket trio himself, saying that it will be a good warm-up for Kukui. He tells them to come at him all at once, swearing to destroy them. Soon enough, Team Skull exits the scene, while a defeated Team Rocket lies on the ground in their wake. {{an|Bewear}} then emerges from a nearby concrete pipe, scoops up Team Rocket, and runs away. | The next day, Ash and his [[party|team]] begin running along the beach as part of their training.

At Pokémon School, Kukui is in the middle of explaining the Pokémon League to his class | At the Pokémon School, Kukui is in the middle of explaining the Pokémon League to his class when Team Skull starts calling to him from the schoolyard, telling him to come talk to them. He goes down and tells them to save their talk for later, but his attitude changes when he recognizes Guzma. Ash and his classmates follow Kukui to the schoolyard, and Plumeria tells them they can witness the match between Kukui and Guzma. Guzma emphasizes that he is not going to battle Kukui, but rather destroy him. He goes on to call the island challenge and Island Kahunas outdated customs and adds that a Pokémon League is just as unnecessary, as he already considers himself the strongest Trainer around. Kukui asks why he won't just join the League to prove his strength, but Guzma shoots down the idea. He swears to destroy the League if Kukui doesn't back down. Kukui refuses, noting that Guzma hasn't changed at all. Ash then steps in and asks Guzma to have a battle with him. Guzma notices Ash's [[Z-Power Ring]], and Ash tells him that he has cleared all four grand trials. Ash instantly reminds Guzma of Kukui, so he accepts his challenge. Kukui tries to talk to Ash, but he asks Kukui to leave this to him, which he agrees to, saying that he will act as the [[Battle judge|referee]]. Guzma swears to destroy Ash, but Kukui tells Guzma not to underestimate him. | ||
As the two Trainers prepare for battle, Ash chooses Pikachu, while Guzma sends out {{p|Golisopod}}. {{Rotom}} scans Golisopod and gives Ash its [[Pokédex]] entry, noting that Pikachu has the [[type]] advantage over his {{t|Bug}}/{{type|Water}} opponent. However, no sooner has Kukui given the signal to start the battle, when Guzma already calls for a {{m|First Impression}}, dealing the first blow on Pikachu. Plumeria brags that no one has been able to avoid First Impression. Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}}, but the attack barely does anything against Golisopod's diamond-hard armor. Guzma orders a {{m|Pin Missile}}, which Pikachu counters with {{m|Electroweb}}, before using {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, even though the [[move]] is super effective, Golisopod is able to deflect it, much to Ash and Rotom's surprise. Ash decides to put the results of his training to use and performs Corkscrew Crash with Pikachu. However, Golisopod is able to block and deflect even this Z-Move with its armor-plated hands, surprising everyone. Guzma then order Golisopod to use {{m|Liquidation}}, striking Pikachu while he's still re-orienting himself. Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Golisopod retalliates with {{m|Poison Jab}}, {{status|poison}}ing Pikachu in the process. The poisoned Pikachu attacks with Iron Tail, but gets stopped on his tracks by a volley of Pin Missiles from Golisopod. The Grunts are cheering for Guzma's success, while Pikachu, despite the poison and the numerous hits, is still able to stand up. Ash orders a Quick Attack, and this time, Pikachu is able to dodge the incoming Poison Jab and strike Golisopod's unarmored underside, causing the tall Bug type to flinch. | As the two Trainers prepare for battle, Ash chooses Pikachu, while Guzma sends out {{p|Golisopod}}. {{Rotom}} scans Golisopod and gives Ash its [[Pokédex]] entry, noting that Pikachu has the [[type]] advantage over his {{t|Bug}}/{{type|Water}} opponent.
