[We see Paul's Electivire play with Pikachu and Grookey by letting the two ride on its tails, Ash's Torterra is napping with Scraggy and Palpitoad and Gible are hanging out with Goh.]
Hey Paul, didn't you want to enter the World Coronation Series?
I'm not interested in noisy crowds. [Maybe that's why Paul gave up on region league quests as well? Also, no mention of Paul facing off against Pyramid King Brandon?]
So why don't we face off now? [Paul scoffs as if to say "What are you suggesting?"] Battle with me!
That's a great idea!
Three on three and no switching out. [Nice call back to Ash and Paul's first battle, but this time this battle is less hostile. Remember, Paul had to fix his attitude after his loss against Brandon, as well as be more respectful to Ash following Paul's loss in the Sinnoh League]
Okay!
One thing. You're only allowed to use Pokémon you're taking to the Masters Eight Tournament.
Fine! I'll go get them!
