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.

As Meowth and {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} continue to serve doughnuts to the hungry Manalo Conference crowd, Jessie and James's match is beginning. Jessie enters the stadium under the pseudonym "Musasina" with {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} by her side, and her profile statement is read out to the crowd. Though for James, going by the name "Dekojiro", the announcer declares that no profile was submitted. Jessie realizes that she forgot to send the profile in, though considers it a good sign that the match will be in her favor. Nanu signals for the sixth match to begin. [[James's Mareanie]] starts things off with a {{m|Spike Cannon}}. Wobbuffet, however, deflects the move with ease. 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, however both sides are beginning to look exhausted. James realizes that the match will continue to wage on, so he whispers to Mareanie to pretend to be incapacitated. Though seeing Mareanie's kind eyes, James erupts with determination and orders a Spike Cannon. Jessie is a gasp as the attack comes ever closer. Wobbuffet manages to {{m|Counter}} in time, but Mareanie's continued onslaught eventually causes the defensive barrier to weaken. In a massive explosion, Wobbuffet is thrown into the air and is knocked out as he hits the battlefield. Jessie falls to her knees as her path to fame becomes even more distant. James, however, cheer and Mareanie poisons him as a sign of her endearment.

James realizes that the match will continue to wage on indefinitely like this, so he whispers to Mareanie to pretend to be incapacitated. However when Mareanie turns to him, James looks into her kind but determined eyes and realizes that she wants to battle properly for him. James decides that if Mareanie wants to battle for real then so does he and, erupting with his own determination, orders a Spike Cannon. Jessie is a gasp as the attack comes ever closer.

Next, {{an|Kiawe}} and [[Acerola]] call out their Pokémon, {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} and {{p|Gengar|Rapooh}} respectively. Acerola orders a {{m|Shadow Ball}}, though the attack is destroyed by Marowak's {{m|Bonemerang}}. Rapooh shudders momentarily before launching a {{m|Shadow Punch}}. Marowak emerges unscathed as it manages to block the attack with a {{m|Shadow Bone}}. Rapooh retaliates with another Shadow Punch. As it launches the attack, Marowak's Bonemerang narrowly misses its target. The Shadow Punch strikes Marowak, who is then immobilized by Rapooh's [[Ability]], {{a|Cursed Body}}. 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 and Shadow Punch. 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. Soon enough, Marowak emerges from Rapooh's body with its bone club in hand. Acerola is unfazed as she calls for a Shadow Ball. Marowak retaliates, batting the Shadow Ball back at Rapooh before striking it with a Shadow Bone attack. Rapooh hits the field and Hapu promptly award Kiawe the victory, allowing him to advance to the next round.
