At {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house, {{Ash}} is serving {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Professor Kukui|Rockruff}} some [[Pokémon food]] | At {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house, {{Ash}} is serving {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Professor Kukui|Rockruff}} some [[Pokémon food]] while Kukui notices a newspaper article about Ash's [[SM009|achievement]] the previous day. {{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, Officer Jenny and her {{TP|Officer Jenny|Gumshoos}} stop by to thank Ash for helping her find a partner for herself. Since Ash is due to have his [[Island challenge|grand trial]] against [[Hala]] later that day, Jenny offers to drive Ash and Kukui to [[Iki Town]], which they accept. After being reminded to by Kukui, Jenny proceeds to hand Ash his certificate. | ||
Later in Iki Town, Officer Jenny departs to continue her duties, while Ash and Hala are praying for {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|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. | Later in Iki Town, Officer Jenny departs to continue her duties, while Ash and Hala are praying for {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}'s blessing for their upcoming battle at the [[Ruins of Conflict]].

Back in Iki Town, Professor Kukui asks Ash if he remembers how to do the {{type|Normal}} [[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 [[Battle judge|referee]] of the grand trial battle. As the battle is about to begin, Ash sends out {{AP|Rowlet}}, which Rotom is surprised to see being wide awake when coming out of its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Hala sends out his own Pokémon, a {{p|Crabrawler}}, which Rotom gives Ash information about, not forgetting to mention that since Rowlet is a {{t|Flying}} Pokémon, it has a type advantage over the {{type|Fighting}} Crabrawler. Crabrawler starts the battle with a {{m|Bubble Beam}}, which Rowlet avoids before countering with a {{m|Peck}} attack, dealing [[super effective]] damage on its opponent. Ash orders Rowlet to use Peck again, but Crabrawler manages to grab Rowlet before the attack can connect. By Hala's command, the Boxing Pokémon then uses {{m|Brutal Swing}}, sending Rowlet flying into the air, where it then gets struck by a powerful {{m|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. | Back in Iki Town, Professor Kukui asks Ash if he remembers how to do the {{type|Normal}} [[Z-Move]] pose, and Ash assures him that he has practiced it well enough to remember it.

Up in the air, Rowlet manages to get itself back together, and Ash tells it to use {{m|Leafage}}, which, much to Ash's shock, gets completely blocked by Crabrawler's Bubble Beam. While Ash marvels his opponent's strength, Rowlet suddenly sneaks up behind him, causing Ash to jump. This, however, gives him an idea, and he tells Rowlet to use Leafage and sneak up behind Crabrawler. The tactic succeeds, allowing Rowlet to land a surprising Peck attack on Crabrawler. A flurry of more Pecks follows, Crabrawler being unable to dodge any of them. Finally Hala calls Crabrawler to block Rowlet's attack with its pincer, allowing it to land a Power-Up Punch with the other pincer. Hala follows up with a command for Brutal Swing, but Rowlet manages to avoid the attack and strike back with {{m|Tackle}}, sending Crabrawler slamming into the ground and causing it to [[Fainting|faint]]. As Hala [[recall]]s Crabrawler, Ash and his partners congratulate Rowlet on its victory. Suddenly Rowlet starts snoring, and Rotom, upon closer inspection, informs Ash that Rowlet has fallen asleep and is now sleep-flying. While Ash, Pikachu, and Rotom attempt to wake Rowlet up, Hala calls his {{p|Hariyama}} to the battlefield. All attempts to wake up the tuckered-out Rowlet fail, leaving Ash with no choice but to recall it. Rotom provides Ash with basic information about Hariyama, mentioning that it's able to send a {{tt|10-ton|about | Up in the air, Rowlet manages to get itself back together, and Ash tells it to use {{m|Leafage}}, which, much to Ash's shock, gets completely blocked by Crabrawler's Bubble Beam.

Both Pikachu and Hariyama prepare for battle. Ash takes the initiative by having Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}}, but Hariyama counters with {{m|Fake Out}}, grabbing Pikachu by the tail and stopping the attack. Hala continues by having Hariyama use {{m|Knock Off}}, which sends Pikachu straight into the ground. As Kukui compliments on Hala's combination attack, Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Electro Ball}}, but the attack is stopped by Hariyama's {{m|Arm Thrust}}, which then proceeds to repeatedly strike Pikachu, dealing a lot of damage on the Mouse Pokémon. Finally Ash finds an opening, and has Pikachu slip past Hariyama before counterattacking with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, even though the attack makes a clean hit, it doesn't seem to hurt Hariyama too much. Ash is getting nervous, thinking about using his Z-Move, but he also acknowledges the fact that he only has one shot at using it. Hala then commands Hariyama to use {{m|Belly Drum}}, which Kukui considers to be a ruthless move on Hala's part, as it increases the user's {{stat|Attack}} power to its maximum, but also takes away half of their health. With the power-up complete, Hala prepares to use his own Z-Move, striking up synchronized poses with Hariyama as energy flows from his [[Z-Crystal]] to his Pokémon. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}} to avoid the upcoming attack, just as Hala and Hariyama unleash the Fighting-type Z-Move: {{m|All-Out Pummeling}}. Pikachu does his best to avoid the Z-Move, but is ultimately hit, sending him flying backwards. Despite this powerful hit, however, Pikachu is still capable of getting back to his feet, impressing Hala, who says that he should've expected as much from someone whom Tapu Koko has taken interest in. | Both Pikachu and Hariyama prepare for battle.
