Kukui recalls Braviary and chooses {{p|Venusaur}} as his third Pokémon. Ash orders Rowlet to use Brave Bird, but to everyone's shock, Venusaur traps Rowlet inside its flower. With its opponent effectively immobilized, Venusaur charges up a powerful {{m|Solar Beam}} for a cataclysmic close-range attack. However, Ash remembers the strategy he conceived during his [[SM133|battle with Hau and Decidueye]], and has Rowlet make a last-ditch escape with {{m|Feather Dance}}; it works perfectly and Rowlet emerges unscathed, surprising Kukui. But despite this successful maneuver, Rowlet's Brave Bird is stopped cold by Venusaur's {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, followed by a {{m|Vine Whip}} that takes Rowlet out of the match.

After Ash recalls Rowlet, he decides to go for the [[type]] advantage and sends {{AP|Torracat}} back out. Torracat is reenergized and its bell is swelling with flames from absorbing {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}'s earlier {{m|Blast Burn}} attack. Kukui commands Venusaur to use Vine Whip, and it ensnares Torracat with the vines. However, Ash has Torracat counter by biting the vines with {{m|Fire Fang}}, leaving Venusaur reeling from the burning. Torracat then unleashes a {{m|Fire Blast}}, and Kukui commands Venusaur to counter with Sludge Bomb, but it isn't enough to stop Fire Blast, and Venusaur is hit and subsequently defeated. Kukui recalls his defeated Venusaur, and Ash decides to switch Torracat out so it can face off against Incineroar later.

Kukui's fourth Pokémon is his {{p|Empoleon}}, and he reveals to Ash that it swims around the {{pkmn|world}} to research sea currents. Ash takes the type advantage again by choosing {{AP|Pikachu}}. He starts things off with an {{m|Electroweb}}, though Empoleon slices through the trap with {{m|Metal Claw}}. Pikachu leaps into action with an {{m|Iron Tail}}, clashing several times with Empoleon’s Metal Claw. Kukui breaks up the {{t|Steel}} [[move]] exchange and has Empoleon approach with {{m|Drill Peck}}, but Pikachu uses Electroweb to keep Empoleon at bay. Empoleon fires back with {{m|Whirlpool}}, trapping Pikachu in the water vortex. Pikachu survives the attack, but at the cost of being extremely dizzy. Knowing Pikachu is an easy target like this, Ash decides to substitute him for {{AP|Melmetal}}. Kukui has Empoleon use {{m|Hydro Pump}}, but Melmetal spins rapidly to repel the attack, shocking Kukui and Empoleon. Ash commands Melmetal to use {{m|Flash Cannon}}, knocking Empoleon off balance. Empoleon uses Whirlpool again, but unlike Pikachu, Melmetal is way too heavy for it to do meaningful damage. Empoleon is desperate since its attacks aren't even fazing Melmetal, before it is defeated by a hefty {{m|Double Iron Bash}}.
