Jimothy went next and used Mareanie, which as soon as it emerged from its ball turned around and lovingly clamped onto his head for a brief moment before going to the battlefield. Behind Jimothy was a male Wobbafett waving a flag happily. His opponent was a young girl. She sent out an Alolan Raticate. Jimothy started off by having his Pokémon use Sludge Bomb which resulted in poisoning. The Raticate used Super Fang and Jimothy and Mareanie used Black Hole Eclipse to win.

The next battle (involving a named character) was Shiranui's battle.
