The next 24-hour interval, the attending of the entire Alola region is focused on the Battle Royal Dome every bit the Battle Imperial to celebrate the Alola League Champion's homecoming is about to begin. Working every bit the MCs, Faba and Wicke innovate the competitors. To no surprise, the kickoff competitor is Ash, accompanied by Pikachu.

Finally, last but not least, the final participating team is the Alola League runner-upward Gladion and Lillie the Nihilego.

With the band of a bell, the Battle Purple is underway. Ash and Pikachu immediately find themselves under a relentless assault as all of his opponents target Pikachu with their attacks, an example of how in a Boxing Regal, anyone tin can target anybody. A 2nd volley of attacks is launched at Pikachu in the form of Lillie's Meteor Beam, Marowak's Flare Blitz, and Incineroar's Darkest Lariat, but Pikachu manages to evade them all by using Quick Attack, utilizing his great Speed to his advantage. A third moving ridge of attacks is likewise evaded, with Pikachu even managing to knock Incineroar off-balance with Fe Tail.
