Kizuna Hida was pondering carefully on Jin Mazama, Raku Ichijo, and Basara Toujou's recommendation on taking the Grand Trial immediately. Due to looking at his Pokémon partner Jangmo-o Sorehead and his Pichu, Kizuna Hida decide on training with his Pokémon first and then take on the Grand Trial. Professor Kukui thought that was a right choice for him and as well for Kahuna Hala. So Kahuna Hala went back to his home, waiting for Kizuna Hida when he was ready to take on the grand trial.

Kizuna Hida started to train with his Pokémon together with Jin Mazama, Raku Ichijo, Basara Toujou and their Pokémon's help. They worked on practicing their Pokémon's moves, did some exercises, resting and playing around. Soon then nightfall come, Kizuna Hida thought with Jin Mazama, Raku Ichijo, and Basara Toujou to where to sleep for the night. Jin Mazama got an idea and suggested that they go to Professor Kukui's place. So they went to Professor Kukui's home, which as soon as they got there Professor Kukui insisted for them to stay for the night in to his home.

When Jin Mazama, Raku Ichijo, Basara Toujou, Kizuna Hida and their Pokémon settling in for the night in Professor Kukui's home, Kizuna Hida couldn't go asleep. He was bothered by a nightmare of the machine like Albatros, Viking, Blue Head, Dragre, and Tri – Head chasing him and his Pokémon. While almost everyone was asleep, Kizuna Hida then went outside together with his Pokémon Jangmo-o Sorehead and his Pichu and Kizuna Hida with his Pokémon looked at the full moon. Just as he was sharing with his Pokémon about the nightmare he had, then Raku Ichijo came and joined them.

Raku Ichijo first apologies to Kizuna Hida for spoiling the surprise for him, but Kizuna Hida forgives him and said that it was fine since he might not know what the Trial was anyway. Then Raku Ichijo asked Kizuna Hida if anything was bothering him. Kizuna Hida told him about his nightmare and Raku Ichijo's response is that along as he has his Pokémon are together, believes in them, and work together, they can overcome anything. Kizuna Hida pondering about it as he looked at his Pokémon, and approves Raku Ichijo's speaking.

Soon then, Kizuna Hida with his Pokémon and Raku Ichijo with his Pokémon went back to Professor Kukui's place to sleep. But as Kizuna Hida went back to sleep he dreamt about the Grand Trial with Kahuna Hala and that he lost the battle. He woke up again but it was morning already, Kizuna Hida with his Pokémon Jangmo-o Sorehead with his Pichu went outside to do some more training. Jin Mazama, Raku Ichijo, and Basara Toujou wondering where were Kizuna Hida. Soon then Kizuna Hida returns and told them that he was training for the Grand Trial.

After Jin Mazama, Raku Ichijo, Basara Toujou, Kizuna Hida and their Pokémon ate breakfast, they head over to Hala's place for Kizuna Hida's grand trial. Once they got there, Kizuna Hida with his Pokémon Jangmo-o Sorehead and Hala with his Hariyama went to the Ruins of Conflict to do their pre-ceremonial battle. Soon then, as Professor Kukui was to be the referee and Hala was set, Kizuna Hida felt unsecured and want to bail out. Then Jin Mazama, Raku Ichijo, and Basara Toujou talk to Kizuna Hida about that he wants to bail out. Kizuna Hida told them that he had another dream that he loss to Hala, and then Raku Ichijo reminds him about what he told him.

Kizuna Hida regains his determination and restarted the battle. So then afterwards Hala started off with his Crabominable and Kizuna Hida chooses his Pichu. Kizuna Hida told his Pichu to use Thunder Shock Hala said to his Crabominable to counter it with Bubble Beam which they were both neutralized. Then Hala say to his Crabominable to used Power-up Punch, then Kizuna Hida tell his Pichu to dodge it and then used Tackle. But Hala's Crabominable caught it and Hala told it to used Brutal Swing which knock downs Kizuna Hida's Pichu.

Then in the mist of the battle, when Hala was about to takedown his Pichu with his Crabominable using Power-up Punch and as Kizuna Hida told his Pichu to counter it with Thunder Shock and Kizuna Hida was encouraging his Pichu through his friendship, then his Pichu evolved into a male Pikachu. Kizuna Hida was surprised to see his Pichu evolved into a newly male Pikachu and then Kizuna Hida told his newly male Pikachu used any moves when he evolved. Kizuna Hida's male Pikachu started to strike at Crabominable with Thunderbolt and then Quick Attack. Then Hala told his Crabrominable to used Brutal Swing and Kizuna Hida tells his male Pikachu to use Thunderbolt which defeated Hala's Crabrominable.

As soon as Hala return his Crabrominable back into its Pokéball and then he chose his Hariyama, Kizuna Hida's male Pikachu collapsed due to overuse his electricity. So Kizuna Hida returned his male Pikachu into his Pokéball and then chose his Pokémon Partner Jangmo-o Sorehead to battle Hala's Hariyama. Kizuna Hida tells his Jangmo-o Sorehead to used Head butt and Hala say to his Hariyama to use Fake out which stop on impact. Then Hala told his Hariyama to used Knock off on Kizuna Hida's Jangmo-o Sorehead then Kizuna Hida tells his Jangmo-o to used Protect to stop Hariyama's attack.

Hala instructed his Hariyama to used Close Combat, while Kizuna Hida told his Jangmo-o Sorehead to used Dragon Claw on the attacks. It was an even match for Kizuna Hida's Jangmo-o Sorehead and for Hala's Hariyama then Hala ordered his Hariyama to used Belly Drum. Hala put out his Z-Ring with Z-Crystal Fightinium Z and prepared to used his Z-Move with his Hariyama as Kizuna Hida and his Jangmo-o Sorehead were standing by and watch on. Hala and his Hariyama were in sync in performing their Z-Move and then Hala calls out the Z-Move to strike.
