Ash can’t contain his excitement as he arrives on Ula’ula Island for his next grand trial. But Nanu, the island kahuna, isn’t interested and tries to trick Ash into believing someone else is the kahuna. To Nanu’s dismay, Acerola blows his cover and convinces him to grant Ash a “pre-trial” battle. Nanu is convinced Ash isn’t ready, but agrees to the battle, and his Krookodile soundly defeats Ash’s Lycanroc. But Ash never gives up, and he vows to stay on the island and train hard for a rematch.
