A Battle Hand-Off! (21x32)

Date de diffusion: Oct 27, 2018

Now that Team Rocket has both a Z-crystal and a Z-ring and can perform Z-moves, this may be the ideal time for them to finally capture Pikachu. An unenthusiastic Nanu tells them Ash and Pikachu are at an abandoned shopping mall. No sooner have Team Rocket raced off than Ash appears, asking for an Island Trial. Nanu sends him off to the abandoned mall, telling him that the Trial, with Acerola as the judge, will be to battle the trainers waiting for him there. Ash and Team Rocket come face to face in an ultimate showdown battle with Mimikyu battling Pikachu! It's a tough battle, with Mimikyu keeping the upper hand, and Team Rocket seems on the verge of finally capturing Pikachu! Team Rocket unleashes their new Z-move, Let's Snuggle Forever, which traps Pikachu inside Mimikyu's disguise; however, Pikachu uses the newly-learned move Electroweb to protect itself. A second Electroweb traps Mimikyu, and Ash and Pikachu use their Z-move 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt to defeat Mimikyu. As Acerola proclaims Ash and Pikachu the winners, Bewear (who had discovered that Team Rocket had secretly left Melemele Island) collects Team Rocket (in a shopping cart) and takes them back home. With Ash having passed the Island Trial, Nanu agrees to grant Ash a Grand Trial!
