Viren gets mad and reminds Ash who he actually is. Then, Viren recognizes Ash as Ash Royal from the Battle Royal, and Ash calls him "Mister Greedy Creep". Ash seemingly recognizes Viren but reveals that he actually doesn't. Ash apologizes and attempts to wipe it off with his hat until he realizes who he's talking to. Unexpectedly, Viren walks by and is infuriated by Poipole's doodle on his newly constructed wall. As Ash asks why the chances are low, Poipole wanders off to doodle Pikachu's face on a wall. Kukui and Burnet talk about Ash's earlier declaration, and Rotom calculates that Ash's chance of jumping over 30 steps is 0.001%. Later that evening, Ash, Kukui, and Professor Burnet walk through Hau'oli City with shopping bags in hand. Rotom states that they don't have enough steps for that much Kukui adds that he will prepare some later and tells everyone to just practice jumping in the meantime. Lana boasts that she could clear 15, Ash declares that he wants to try for 20, and Kiawe states he will go for 30. As Kiawe brags, his record is beaten by Lana, who jumps over 12 steps. He compares the vaulting box to Wela Volcano and successfully clears the 10 steps. Kiawe has another two steps added to the box, raising it to 10. Kukui tells him to be more careful where he steps and calls for Kiawe. As he runs up to the springboard, he trips on it and slams face-first into the obstacle. Ash is up next and he asks for two more steps, which raises the vaulting box to eight steps. Sophocles reacts with slight bashfulness and then thanks Togedemaru. As Sophocles is in disbelief, his friends congratulate him.

Seeing this, Togedemaru tackles Sophocles, and the boost helps him clear the jump.

Sophocles is next, but is unsure of himself and simply walks towards the vaulting box. Before Lillie has her turn, she states her theory for getting the best jump, but fails to get over the box. Mallow's friends all congratulate her and Tsareena offers her a high-five. Professor Kukui calls for Mallow, and when he blows a whistle, Mallow runs towards a vaulting box and successfully jumps over it. At the Pokémon School, Ash and his classmates are having sports class.
