When Ash and his friends arrived at the island, the competition for female Oshawott and Dewott had already taken place and an Oshawott called Osharina had won and was crowned queen. The winner of the competition for male Oshawott and Dewott would get to be king alongside Osharina. At the competition site, Ash quickly gained a rivalry with [[Cadbury]], an overconfident competitor with a Dewott named Caesar.

Ash's Oshawott managed to pass all portions of the competition and reached the final, where he had to battle the other finalists, Cadbury and Caesar. With all his strength, Oshawott managed to defeat Caesar and was declared the winner of the competition. Ash was shocked to hear that Oshawott would have to stay on the island to be the island's symbol for one year, however. He prepared to say goodbye to Oshawott, as Oshawott had fallen in love with Osharina, but at the last moment it was revealed that Osharina loved Caesar instead. Heartbroken, Oshawott's scalchop broke in half, and this meant he was disqualified from the tournament. As runner-ups, Cadbury and Caesar were then automatically declared the winners instead.

The competitors lining up on stage

The Scalchop King Competition (Japanese: ホタチキング決定戦 Hotachi King Decision Battle) is an animated series-exclusive tournament held annually at Scalchop Island in the Decolore Islands for Trainers who raise male Oshawott and Dewott. There is also a competition for female Oshawott and Dewott, but it takes place separately.

The winning Trainer earns a golden scalchop crafted by an artist from the island, while their Pokémon gets the title of Scalchop Island's king and must remain on the island for one year, until the next Scalchop King Competition is held. It is hosted by Freddy O'Martian and is judged by the local Don George and Nurse Joy.

In the anime

In Crowning the Scalchop King!, when Ash and his friends were traveling on a cruise through the Decolore Islands, they noticed there were a lot of Oshawott and Dewott on board. They asked Porter what this was all about and he told them about the competition held later that day at Scalchop Island. Excited, Ash decided to enter with his Oshawott.

When Ash and his friends arrived at the island, the competition for female Oshawott and Dewott had already taken place and an Oshawott nicknamed Osharina had won and was crowned queen. The winner of the competition for male Oshawott and Dewott would get to be king alongside Osharina. At the competition site, Ash quickly gained a rivalry with Cadbury, an overconfident competitor with a Dewott named Caesar.

Ash's Oshawott managed to pass all portions of the competition and reached the final, where he had to battle the other finalists, Cadbury and Caesar. With all his strength, Oshawott managed to defeat Caesar and was declared the winner of the competition. Ash was shocked to hear that Oshawott would have to stay on the island to be the island's king for one year, however. Ash prepared to say goodbye to Oshawott, as Oshawott had fallen in love with Osharina, but at the last moment it was revealed that Osharina loved Caesar instead. Heartbroken, Oshawott's scalchop broke in half, and this meant he was disqualified from the tournament. As runner-ups, Cadbury and Caesar were then automatically declared the winners instead.
