The [[Full Battle]] between {{Ash}} and {{an|Professor Kukui}} continues. {{AP|Lycanroc}} uses {{m|Counter}} to send the oncoming {{m|Rock Slide}} back at {{p|Braviary}}. Kukui commands Braviary to use {{m|Sky Drop}}, and Ash has Lycanroc use {{m|Bite}}. Lycanroc's attack lands, but it isn't enough to stop Braviary from lifting it high in the air. Braviary makes an 800 meter ascent before soaring back down at a breakneck pace, slamming Lycanroc onto the battlefield with immense force. Despite the heavy impact, Lycanroc manages to return to its feet and unleashes a {{m|Stone Edge}}. Braviary is commanded to use {{m|Steel Wing}} to slice through the boulders, which creates a huge dust cloud. Its vision obscured by all the dust, Lycanroc is unable to dodge Braviary's super-effective {{m|Superpower}} and takes massive damage. Lycanroc returns to its feet again, but the damage was too much this time, and it collapses. [[Hala]] rules Lycanroc out of the match, marking the first defeat of the battle. | The [[Full Battle]] between {{Ash}} and {{an|Professor Kukui}} continues. {{AP|Lycanroc}} uses {{m|Counter}} to send the oncoming {{m|Rock Slide}} back at {{p|Braviary}}.

Ash recalls Lycanroc and decides to turn this into an aerial battle by sending out {{AP|Rowlet}}, still donning its {{p|Decidueye}} cloak. Rowlet is initially startled by its opponent, but Ash tells it to stay focused and use {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Braviary, however, neutralizes the attack with a Steel Wing, before going on to chase Rowlet. Rowlet stops him in his tracks by using {{m|Seed Bomb}}, and the [[Everstone]] strikes Braviary directly in the face. Braviary recovers and approaches with Steel Wing, and the clash turns into a game of tennis as Braviary deflects some of Rowlet’s Seed Bomb attacks, though it misses others and is struck by the Everstone projectile. Braviary eventually ends the face off and strikes Rowlet down with Steel Wing. Kukui orders him to follow up with Superpower, and Ash commands Rowlet to counter with Brave Bird. Rowlet dodges Superpower at the last second and nails Brave Bird, sending Braviary plummeting to the ground and knocking him out. | Ash recalls Lycanroc and decides to turn this into an aerial battle by sending out {{AP|Rowlet}}, still donning its {{p|Decidueye}} cloak.

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. Seeing Pikachu is starting to be overwhelmed, Ash decides to recall him and substitutes speed for power by sending out {{AP|Melmetal}} to face Empoleon. 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}}. | Kukui's fourth Pokémon is his {{p|Empoleon}}, and he reveals to Ash that it swims around the {{pkmn|world}} to research sea currents.

Kukui recalls Empoleon, and is pumped by this spectacular battle. He sends Incineroar out to take on Melmetal. It starts off with Darkest Lariat, and Melmetal attempts to repel Incineroar with Flash Cannon, but it doesn't work and Melmetal takes the hit. Ash then has Melmetal go in for a Double Iron Bash, but Incineroar unexpectedly grabs a hold of Melmetal's fists. Melmetal rushes in to test its brute strength against Incineroar, with neither side giving an inch. With Melmetal trapped in close-range, Kukui knows this is his chance and has Incineroar use a super-effective Blast Burn, engulfing Melmetal in flames and taking it out of the match. | Kukui recalls Empoleon, and is pumped by this spectacular battle.

Ash recalls Melmetal, and Kukui, anticipating the upcoming showdown between his Incineroar and Ash's Torracat, decides to switch to his fifth Pokémon, {{p|Lucario}}. Ash replies by pulling out a [[Beast Ball]], surprising everyone, and sending out his sixth Pokémon, {{AP|Naganadel}}. [[Wicke]] is impressed to see an [[Ultra Beast]] sent out onto the battlefield, and {{an|Lusamine}} remarks that they did the right thing by giving Naganadel to Ash. Naganadel is thrilled by the crowd of spectators and spins in excitement. {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} watches on in anticipation as the round begins with a clash of {{m|X-Scissor}} and {{m|Close Combat}}. | Ash recalls Melmetal, and Kukui, anticipating the upcoming showdown between his Incineroar and Ash's Torracat, decides to switch to his fifth Pokémon, {{p|Lucario}}.
