Plot

At Professor Kukui's house, Ash is serving Pikachu and Rockruff some Pokémon food, as Kukui, reading a newspaper, notices an article about Ash's previous day's achievement. Rotom starts reading the article out loud, informing everyone in the room that Ash is due to receive a certificate from Officer Jenny as a recognition of his work. Just then the doorbell rings, and Ash rushes to open the door. Opening the door, he comes face to face with Officer Jenny and Gumshoos. She thanks Ash for helping her find a partner for herself, and Rotom states that Gumshoos is a perfect Pokémon to be Jenny's partner. As Ash is due to have his grand trial against Hala later that day, Jenny offers to drive Ash and Kukui to Iki Town, which they gladly accept. Kukui then reminds that Jenny also had another reason to come, and she, reminded of the fact, hands Ash the certificate promised to him.
Later in Iki Town, Officer Jenny departs to continue her duties, while Ash and Hala are praying for Tapu Koko's blessing for their upcoming battle at the Ruins of Conflict. Ash is getting uncomfortable for having to keep sitting still, but eventually Hala tells that they're done here. Ash asks if Tapu Koko heard them, and Hala answers that it's not certain, as Tapu Koko is a very fickle creature. Just then, the two hear Tapu Koko's cry echo from afar, confirming that it had been listening to them.
Back in Iki Town, Professor Kukui asks Ash if he remembers how to do the Normal-type Z-Move pose, and Ash assures him that he has practiced it well enough to remember it. Kukui also warns Ash that a Z-Move can only be used once per battle, meaning that the moment to use it must be chosen carefully. With technicalities out of the way, Kukui takes his position as the referee of the grand trial battle. As the battle is about to begin, Ash sends out Rowlet, which Rotom is surprised to see being wide awake when coming out of its Poké Ball. Hala sends out his own Pokémon, a Crabrawler, which Rotom gives Ash information about, not forgetting to mention that since Rowlet is a Flying Pokémon, it has a type advantage over the Fighting-type Crabrawler. Crabrawler starts the battle with a Bubble Beam, which Rowlet avoids before countering with a Peck attack, dealing super effective damage on its opponent. Ash orders Rowlet to use Peck again, but Crabralwer manages to grab Rowlet before the attack can connect. By Hala's command, the Boxing Pokémon then uses Brutal Swing, sending Rowlet flying into the air, where it then gets struck by a powerful Power-Up Punch. Rotom is worried about Rowlet having taken a lot of damage, while Kukui comments how Hala's Crabrawler is just as strong as ever.
