The episode begins with {{TRT}} arriving in [[Nimbasa City]], ready to begin planning their latest scheme... one which is far more ambitious than all their previous ones. Meanwhile, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at what they think is Nimbasa City, but [[Luke]] informs them that they are actually in [[Nimbasa Town]], the site of a Pokémon battle tournament. As Ash prepares to head over to the tournament, [[Bianca]] arrives and explains that she is competing in the tournament as well.
The episode begins with {{TRT}} arriving in [[Nimbasa City]], ready to begin planning their latest scheme... one which is far more ambitious than all their previous ones.


{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at what they think is Nimbasa City but is in fact [[Nimbasa Town]], a far smaller suburb of the main city which happens to be where the [[Battle Club]] will host the Pokémon tournament. {{an|Bianca}} arrives and with Ash, {{an|Cilan}}, {{an|Iris}}, and [[Luke]] in tow proceeds to registration.  
As the group approaches the stadium, Luke begins filming his documentary of the tournament, but Bianca interrupts him and takes an immediate liking to his {{p|Zorua}}, asking to trade her {{p|Pignite}} for it, to which Luke refuses. The group then receives registration forms from [[Don George]], and, while filling them out, they discover that [[Burgundy]] is also entering. After Burgundy reiterates her hatred of {{an|Cilan}}, [[Stephan]] arrives to join the party as well, with his newly evolved {{p|Zebstrika}}. [[Georgia]] arrives as well, wasting no time in trading insults with {{an|Iris}}, whereupon Ash notices [[Trip]]'s presence at the front of the stadium.  


They meet Don George, the Dojo Master hosting the tournament and encounter [[Burgundy]], who is also entering the tournament. [[Stephan]] is also entering with his {{p|Zebstrika}}, now evolved from Blitzle. [[Georgia]] and [[Trip]] are also present and will be competing, with a collection of rare feathers to be awarded to the victor. Each contestant is to enter a total of three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, with one Pokémon to be chosen for each one-on-one battle. The opening draw is announced as Ash is paired with Burgundy, Cilan is paired with Trip and Bianca is paired with Stephan. Georgia is up first, winning her first battle with {{p|Beartic}} against a {{p|Joltik}}. [[Dino]] and [[Antonio]] also win their matches by defeating [[Omega]] and [[Emmanuel]], respectively.
The tournament soon begins, with Don George introducing the grand prize: a seven-feather [[wing]] set to improve a Pokémon's [[base power|Effort values]]. When the first round matchups are announced, Ash finds himself facing Burguny, Cilan's opponent is Trip, and Iris is matched against a man called [[Jimmy Ray]].  


Ash and Burgundy are up next, Ash sending out {{AP|Palpitoad}} with Burgundy sending out a {{p|Stoutland}}. Ash starts off by commanding a {{m|Mud Shot}} from Palpitoad, which scores a hit as does Stoutland’s {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Thunder Fang}}, the latter being completely ineffective. Burgundy then orders an {{m|Ice Fang}} on Palpitoad while still in Stoutland's mouth, leaving Palpitoad frozen solid. Ash responds with {{m|Supersonic}}, which breaks the ice and frees Palpitoad. Stoutland attacks with a {{m|Tackle}} followed by {{m|Fire Fang}}, which is directly blocked by Palpitoad's Mud Shot. Ash follows this up with a powerful {{m|Hydro Pump}}, scoring a direct hit and causing Stoutland to faint. Ash is declared the winner, while the gang remark how great Ash and Palpitoad worked as a team.
Georgia wins her battle against {{un|Sylvester|her opponent}} relatively quickly, and the tournament proceeds through the next two battles until it is time for Ash to face off against Burgundy. After Burgundy calls out {{p|Stoutland}}, Ash brings out his {{AP|Palpitoad}} - which is Palpitoad's first Pokémon battle. Palpitoad opens with {{m|Mud Shot}}, to which Stoutland counters with {{m|Tackle}}. After Stoutland then tries an {{t|Ground|ineffective}} {{m|Thunder Fang}} on Palpitoad, it then returns with an {{m|Ice Fang}} instead. However, before Palpitoad is completely frozen, Ash commands it to use {{m|Supersonic}}, which causes Stoutland to let go and also shatters the ice. After a fierce barrage of attacks from both sides, Palpitoad emerges victorious, allowing Ash to proceed to the second round.


The gang then prepare for their upcoming battles, with Ash and Georgia through to the next round and Trip and Cilan up next.
After Zorua pulls more of her pranks by mimicking Georgia, Cilan and Trip prepare for their battle, with Cilan promising to have his performance be even better than Ash's.

Blurb

Our heroes think they’ve finally arrived in Nimbasa City, but their new friend Luke informs them that they’re actually in Nimbasa Town, home of the Pokémon Club Battle Tournament. Named after Don George’s Pokémon Battle Club, which sponsors the event, the tournament promises to be filled with excitement. One by one, many of our heroes’ friends and rivals show up to register: Bianca, Georgia, Burgundy, Stephan, and Trip are all in town for the competition!

Soon the matchups are announced and the action gets under way. Iris’s rival, “Dragon Buster” Georgia, is up first, and her Beartic quickly takes down her opponent’s Joltik. Later, Ash faces off against Burgundy, Cilan’s old rival and fellow Pokémon Connoisseur! Confident as ever, Burgundy chides Ash for not completely replacing his Pokémon team as she recommended during their last meeting, but our hero and his Palpitoad manage to defeat Burgundy and her Stoutland!

Next up, Cilan is set to battle Trip. Meanwhile, the Team Rocket trio have quietly arrived in Nimbasa City, confidently preparing for their next assignment...

Plot

The episode begins with Team Rocket arriving in Nimbasa City, ready to begin planning their latest scheme... one which is far more ambitious than all their previous ones. Meanwhile, Ash and his friends arrive at what they think is Nimbasa City, but Luke informs them that they are actually in Nimbasa Town, the site of a Pokémon battle tournament. As Ash prepares to head over to the tournament, Bianca arrives and explains that she is competing in the tournament as well.

As the group approaches the stadium, Luke begins filming his documentary of the tournament, but Bianca interrupts him and takes an immediate liking to his Zorua, asking to trade her Pignite for it, to which Luke refuses. The group then receives registration forms from Don George, and, while filling them out, they discover that Burgundy is also entering. After Burgundy reiterates her hatred of Cilan, Stephan arrives to join the party as well, with his newly evolved Zebstrika. Georgia arrives as well, wasting no time in trading insults with Iris, whereupon Ash notices Trip's presence at the front of the stadium.

The tournament soon begins, with Don George introducing the grand prize: a seven-feather wing set to improve a Pokémon's Effort values. When the first round matchups are announced, Ash finds himself facing Burguny, Cilan's opponent is Trip, and Iris is matched against a man called Jimmy Ray.

Georgia wins her battle against her opponent relatively quickly, and the tournament proceeds through the next two battles until it is time for Ash to face off against Burgundy. After Burgundy calls out Stoutland, Ash brings out his Palpitoad - which is Palpitoad's first Pokémon battle. Palpitoad opens with Mud Shot, to which Stoutland counters with Tackle. After Stoutland then tries an ineffective Thunder Fang on Palpitoad, it then returns with an Ice Fang instead. However, before Palpitoad is completely frozen, Ash commands it to use Supersonic, which causes Stoutland to let go and also shatters the ice. After a fierce barrage of attacks from both sides, Palpitoad emerges victorious, allowing Ash to proceed to the second round.

After Zorua pulls more of her pranks by mimicking Georgia, Cilan and Trip prepare for their battle, with Cilan promising to have his performance be even better than Ash's.
