Once Sophocles's match begins, his {{TP|Sophocles|Vikavolt}} pursues Mina's {{p|Ribombee}} through the sky. Vikavolt uses {{m|Zap Cannon}}, but Ribombee easily dodges it. After a quick dive and change of direction, Ribombee throws a series of {{m|Pollen Puff}}s and strikes Vikavolt several times. After the bombardment, Ribombee tosses Vikavolt into the battlefield with {{m|Psychic}}. Vikavolt quickly recovers and uses another Zap Cannon, but Ribombee again dodges it. In its moment of disorientation, Vikavolt zips behind and grabs a hold of Ribombee with its mandibles. With its opponent immobilized, Vikavolt [[Fainting|defeats]] it with a close-range {{m|Signal Beam}}. [[Nanu]] makes the official ruling and declares Sophocles the winner. | Once Sophocles's match begins, his {{TP|Sophocles|Vikavolt}} pursues Mina's {{p|Ribombee}} through the sky.

Jessie and James's match begins, with them going by "Jessina" and "Jamesio", respectively. Once Nanu signals for the sixth match to begin, [[James's Mareanie]] uses {{m|Spike Cannon}}, but {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} | Jessie and James's match begins, with them going by "Jessina" and "Jamesio", respectively. Once Nanu signals for the sixth match to begin, [[James's Mareanie]] uses {{m|Spike Cannon}}, but {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} {{m|Counter}}s the [[move]]. James orders Mareanie to use {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, but Wobbuffet simply reflects the attack back with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. Wobbuffet's defenses continue to prevent any damage from being inflicted on him, and the battle goes nowhere. James realizes that the match will continue on indefinitely like this, so he whispers to Mareanie to pretend to be incapacitated. However, when Mareanie turns to him, James looks into her eyes and realizes that she wants to battle properly for him. He then decides to take the battle just as seriously and orders Mareanie to use Spike Cannon. Wobbuffet manages to use Counter in time, but Mareanie's continued onslaught of attacks eventually causes the defensive barrier to weaken. In a massive explosion, Wobbuffet is thrown into the air and knocked out, giving James the win, much to Jessie's dismay. | ||

Next, {{an|Kiawe}} and [[Acerola]] call out their Pokémon, {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} and {{p|Gengar|Rapooh}}, respectively. Acerola orders Rapooh to use {{m|Shadow Ball}}, though the attack is destroyed by Marowak's {{m|Bonemerang}}. Rapooh then uses {{m|Shadow Punch}}, but Marowak manages to block it with {{m|Shadow Bone}}. Rapooh retaliates with another Shadow Punch, which strikes Marowak, who is then immobilized by Rapooh's {{a|Cursed Body}} [[Ability]]. Acerola orders Rapooh to use {{m|Thief}}, and it promptly steals Marowak's bone club, instantly limiting Marowak's move-set. Rapooh takes the opportunity to lash Marowak with a Shadow Ball-Shadow Punch combination. As Rapooh readies another Shadow Punch, Marowak is freed from Cursed Body and slams into its opponent with {{m|Iron Head}}. The impact winds Rapooh, who then absorbs Marowak into its body. However, Marowak emerges from Rapooh's body with its bone club in hand. Acerola orders another Shadow Ball, but Marowak retaliates, batting the Shadow Ball back at Rapooh before striking it with Shadow Bone, defeating it and allowing Kiawe to advance to the next round. | Next, {{an|Kiawe}} and [[Acerola]] call out their Pokémon, {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} and {{p|Gengar|Rapooh}}, respectively.
