The first match starts with Ash against {{si|Taylor}}. Dawn and Brock watch from the stands as the ring balloon is deployed, as well as Ash and Taylor's balloons to the set elevation. The round starts as Ash sends out Staravia while Taylor summons {{p|Skarmory}}. Both race to the ring as Staravia gets it first, racing to the goal. Skarmory fires {{m|Swift}}, which hits and causes Staravia to drop the ring. Skarmory steals it and goes for the goal as Staravia tries to catch up. Skarmory turns around and executes a {{m|Fury Attack}}. Staravia dodges continually, eventually causing Skarmory to drop the ring, allowing Staravia to steal and bolt. Skarmory gets ahead and uses {{m|Sand-Attack}} to blind Staravia before launching {{m|Air Cutter}}. Staravia is unable to dodge, but a wind gust pushes it out of the way. Staravia recovers as another Air Cutter heads towards it. Staravia gets closer before using {{m|Aerial Ace}} to dodge and race to the goal, planting the ring and giving Ash the first win. Ash congratulates his Pokémon. | The first match starts with Ash against {{si|Taylor}}.

The second match reveals the four-time defending champion [[Provo]]. His opponent surprises everyone as [[Paul]]'s name is announced, getting Ash's attention as he encounters Paul. Paul brushes him off and gets into his balloon as Ash vows to beat him in the competition. Dawn and Brock know that Paul is merely using the competition for {{pkmn|training}} as Dawn realizes that Paul will use {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}. The round starts as Paul deploys Honchkrow while Provo calls on {{p|Dragonite}}. Honchkrow goes first as Dragonite fires {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. Honchkrow dodges and gets the ring as Dragonite turns and uses {{m|Fire Punch}}, missing. Dragonite hits with {{m|Dragon Rush}}, causing Honchkrow to drop the ring into free fall. Both race for the ring, Honchkrow getting it first and racing to the goal. Dragonite attempts another Dragon Rush as a wind gust kicks up. Paul has Honchkrow ride the wind and land a {{m|Sky Attack}}, which [[fainting|knocks out]] Dragonite thanks to | The second match reveals the four-time defending champion [[Provo]].

Paul wins that round with only one strike, which makes Ash slightly uneasy. | ||
[[Steveland]]'s {{p|Skiploom}} fights against James's Yanmega. The round starts, but neither makes a move at first, waiting for the wind to kick in. James predicts a wind from above, but instead it comes from below and confuses Yanmega. Skiploom rides it and grabs the ring, heading for the goal. James then predicts an upward current and tries to have Yanmega ride the wind, but his bad judgment takes its toll as a downward current makes Yanmega plummet towards the ground. This helps Skiploom easily win the match for Steveland. James then tells Steveland that the Sinnoh winds are hard to predict (maybe as James is used to predicting the Hoenn winds in the Advanced Generation) and will learn from his mistakes. The competition jumps ahead as the final match comes down to Ash and Paul. Ash looks forward to battle while Paul is silent. | [[Steveland]]'s {{p|Skiploom}} fights against James's Yanmega.
