Jessie and James's match begins, with them going by "Jessina" and "Jamesio", respectively. Once Nanu signals for the sixth match to begin, [[James's Mareanie]] uses {{m|Spike Cannon}}, but {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} deflects the move. 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 from being inflicted on it, and the battle goes nowhere. James realizes that the match will continue on indefinitely like this, so he whispers to Mareanie to pretend to be incapacitated. However, when Mareanie turns to him, James looks into her eyes and realizes that she wants to battle properly for him. He then decides to take the battle just as seriously and orders Mareanie to use Spike Cannon. Wobbuffet manages to use {{m|Counter}} in time, but Mareanie's continued onslaught of attacks eventually causes the defensive barrier to weaken. In a massive explosion, Wobbuffet is thrown into the air and knocked out, giving James the win, much to Jessie's dismay.

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.

The announcer excitedly declares that next up is a sibling showdown between Gladion and Lillie. {{an|Lusamine}}, with pom poms in hand, and her staff cheer Lillie on, much to Lillie's embarrassment. Lillie has Snowy summon a {{m|Hail}}, instantly changing the battle conditions to suit Snowy's {{t|Ice}} typing. Gladion quickly orders {{TP|Gladion|Umbreon}} to attack with {{m|Dark Pulse}} though Snowy is uninjured as she hid amongst the growing frost. Gladion is mildly impressed by Snowy's {{a|Snow Cloak}} Ability, admitting that Lillie is growing as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He orders a Shadow Ball, which smashes through Snowy’s {{m|Aurora Veil}} defenses and strikes its target. As the Hail conditions fade, Lillie decides for a more drastic measure, her [[Z-Move]]. Lillie executes her Z-Pose perfectly and Snowy lashes Umbreon with {{m|Subzero Slammer}}. Umbreon, however, emerges fine and knocks Snowy out with a super effective {{m|Iron Tail}}. As Lillie comforts Snowy in her arms, Hapu announces that Gladion is the winner. Lusamine is particularly proud of her two children, admitting she wishes her husband [[Mohn]] could be there to watch.
