Plot

Ash Ketchum arrives on Pasio while training for the Masters Eight Tournament, meeting Scottie/Bettie and Tina on the beach. After being introduced to Pasio's style of battling by Lear, Ash decides to stay and train for a time. Later, while Tina teaches Ash about sync moves, her Flareon rebels against her out of jealousy of seeing Ash and Pikachu perform a sync move before it and Tina could perform theirs, and runs away, encountering a group of Team Break members who sway it into joining them. In the subsequent confrontation, Ash manages to convince Flareon to return to Tina, and drives off Team Break with his entire team of Pokémon. Meanwhile, at the Battle Villa, Sawyer informs Lear of Ash's progress, and Lear expresses interest in seeing how he will perform on Pasio.

Ash and Tina eagerly decide to enter. In his first match, Ash faces Ace Trainer Rochelle from Lilycove City, whom he defeats using his Gigantamax Gengar. Meanwhile, Tina loses her first battle and is eliminated from the tournament. In the second round, Ash defeats Ace Trainer Axel from Hau'oli City with the help of his Mega Lucario. In the finals, Ash faces Scottie/Bettie, using his Dracovish, Sirfetch'd, and Pikachu against their Torchic, Solgaleo, and Pikachu. During the battle, Red arrives to observe the match. Once Ash has emerged victorious, Red leaves the stadium and displays interest in facing Ash someday. At the awards ceremony, Leon demands Ash to battle him like he promised, which Ash happily agrees to.
