The quarter-finals of the Unova Pokémon League tournament continue. The second of the quarter-finals sees {{adv|Cheren}} face the young [[PokéManiac]] Leo. Leo's {{p|Deino}} falls swiftly to Cheren's {{p|Unfezant}} to hand the match to Cheren. Leo is impressed by Cheren's ability to use the Power Herb, but before Leo could finish speaking, Cheren turns away without a word. {{adv|Black}}, having witnessed his childhood companion's victory from inside his capsule, wonders what caused the significant change in Cheren's attitude.
The quarter-finals of the Pokémon League continue. In the second round, {{adv|Cheren}} uses his {{p|Unfezant}} to battle [[Leo]]'s {{p|Deino}}. Cheren's Unfezant uses {{m|Feather Dance}} to cover Leo's Deino in feathers, lowering its Attack. Despite this, Leo has Deino use {{m|Bite}} on Unfezant, but the attack fails to do significant damage due to Feather Dance's effect. Unfezant immediately flies into the air and crashes down on Deino beak-first with a {{m|Sky Attack}}. The announcer proclaims Cheren as the winner and states he will advance on to the next round. Leo is amazed by Cheren's skills and admits that he managed to barely win by having his blind Deino randomly Bite all of its opponents. Leo praises Cheren's usage of a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Power Herb}} to bypass Sky Attack's need to be charged, but Cheren simply ignores his opponent's words and returns to his capsule. {{adv|Black}} watches Cheren's strange behavior and wonders why his friend is suddenly acting so cold. [[Zinzolin|Gray]] also watches from his capsule, but acts pleased with Cheren's cold attitude, as he claims that cold is the secret to feeling alive. [[Looker]] watches Gray's behavior from afar with his {{p|Croagunk}}. He questions why Gray is talking about the cold and shivering so much despite the heavy coat he's wearing. Looker notes how suspicious the name Gray is, which only furthers his suspicions that Gray is a member of Team Plasma.


Inside another capsule, the contestant that calls himself [[Zinzolin|Grey]] appears to be pleased at Cheren's cold-heartedness, and even starts to shiver. [[Looker]] spies on the capsule through his Excellent Scope, and after verifying Grey as one of the contestants, decides to investigate his actions.
In the third round, the next battle is [[Marlon]] against [[Colress|Hood Man]]. Marlon sends out his male {{p|Jellicent}} while Hood Man sends out a {{p|Beheeyem}}. Marlon brags about his years of spending time in the sea has helped him build up the strength to compete in the League. With that, Jellicent fires a {{m|Scald}}, which caused Beheeyem to get burned. Hood Man is unfazed, and has his Beheeyem heal itself with {{m|Recover}}. Beheeyem follows up with {{m|Calm Mind}}, which powers up its next attack: {{m|Energy Ball}}. The attack deals heavy damage, which causes Marlon to jump around in excitement at facing a powerful opponent. Jellicent counters with Recover as well and immediately grabs onto Beheeyem with its tentacles. Marlon explains that due to Jellicent's {{a|Cursed Body}}, Beheeyem can no longer use Energy Ball. Beheeyem's shadow quickly extends and fires a ball of energy at Jellicent. The announcers reveals to the move to be {{m|Shadow Ball}}, which was enough to defeat Jellicent, allowing Hood Man to advance to the next round. Marlon praises his opponent's strength, but Hood Man simply attributes it to his research and studying powerful Trainers. As he heads back to his capsule, Hood Man states that his research is essential to the thing he is searching for.


The third quarter-final soon commences, and sees the swimmer [[Marlon]] face the contestant that calls himself the [[Hood Man]]. Marlon's {{p|Jellicent}} is defeated by the Hood Man's {{p|Beheeyem}}. After the match, the Hood Man is seen muttering to himself about how the tournament is relevant to his research work.
For the final round of the quarter-finals, Iris recites the rule that any Trainer who loses a single Pokémon loses. Iris expresses her determination to not lose as she leaps forward while the announcer introduces her. Iris' opponent is Gray, who she affectionately nicknames "Mr. Fluffy." As Looker gulps in nervousness, Iris and Gray send out {{p|Fraxure}} and {{p|Cryogonal}}, respectively. Iris notes that her {{type|Dragon}} Fraxure is at a disadvantage against the {{type|Ice}} Cryogonal, but since she knows a lot about Dragon Pokémon, she won't be defeated. Fraxure body slams Cryogonal, but this leaves it open to be grabbed by Cryogonal's ice chains. The chains begin freezing Fraxure, but Iris notes that she's prepared after seeing Black's training on the [[Tubeline Bridge]]. The announcer notes how Fraxure is beginning to curl up, which means it's close to fainting.


And, in the last quarter-final, [[Iris]] faces Grey. Despite the type advantage, Grey's {{p|Cryogonal}} falls to Iris' {{p|Fraxure}}. Though Grey appears not to be pleased with the outcome of the match, the Hood Man sees Grey walk off the stage and muses that losing is not a big deal after all.
Iris tells Fraxure to not give up, since they have a reason for competing at the League. Gray begins fuming at Iris' hot-blooded determination, but claims that it won't help her win. Iris quickly notes that she has more than emotions and points to her Fraxure. It is revealed that Fraxure wasn't curling due to being knocked out, but was simply getting its tusks close to the chains so that it could slice through them. Fraxure slices through the ice chains with its tusks and slams Cryogonal onto the ground, which sends rubble into the air. Iris takes this chance to have Fraxure use {{m|Rock Tomb}} to cover Cryogonal in the rubble. Gray attempts to retaliate with {{m|Ice Beam}}, but Iris out-speeds him and commands Fraxure to use {{m|Rock Smash}}. Fraxure slams its backside onto Cryogonal, defeating it and advancing Iris into the next round, much to Gray's frustration and Black's joy. Iris states that because of her knowledge of Dragon-types, she knows their strengths as well as their weaknesses, which is why she must devise strategies to overcome her opponents.  


High up in one of the audience stands, [[Brycen]] recalls how the Gym Leaders had no memory of their kidnapping. He is also aware of a Pokémon that can erase memories, that being a Beheeyem, which happens to be owned by one of the contestants. As Brycen wonders whether it is a coincidence, or that he is overthinking, {{adv|White}} checks Beheeyem's data on her Pokédex as her full team of Pokémon stand beside her, and deems it is worth investigating this matter, and agrees to help Brycen.
As Gray heads back, Hood Man notices that losing might not always be a bad situation. From a distance, [[Brycen]] appears and closely watches Hood Man. Brycen recalls that the kidnapped Gym Leaders have no memories of their kidnapping, which must mean someone must have tampered with their minds. He notes that Beheeyem, the Cerebral Pokémon, can alter the memories of over living creatures. Since Hood Man uses this Pokémon as well as wearing a suit to hide his appearance, it makes him very suspicious. He states that Hood Man must be investigated and asks the person next to him if they will help him. After checking Beheeyem on her Pokédex, {{adv|White}} appears with her team and agrees to Brycen's request.

Cheren's Unfezant uses Feather Dance to cover Leo's Deino in feathers, lowering its Attack. Despite this, Leo has Deino use Bite on Unfezant, but the attack fails to do significant damage due to Feather Dance's effect. Unfezant immediately flies into the air and crashes down on Deino beak-first with a Sky Attack. The announcer proclaims Cheren as the winner and states he will advance on to the next round. Leo is amazed by Cheren's skills and admits that he managed to barely win by having his blind Deino randomly Bite all of its opponents. Leo praises Cheren's usage of a Power Herb to bypass Sky Attack's need to be charged, but Cheren simply ignores his opponent's words and returns to his capsule. Black watches Cheren's strange behavior and wonders why his friend is suddenly acting so cold.

In the third round, the next battle is Marlon against Hood Man. Marlon sends out his male Jellicent while Hood Man sends out a Beheeyem. Marlon brags about his years of spending time in the sea has helped him build up the strength to compete in the League. With that, Jellicent fires a Scald, which caused Beheeyem to get burned. Hood Man is unfazed, and has his Beheeyem heal itself with Recover. Beheeyem follows up with Calm Mind, which powers up its next attack: Energy Ball.

For the final round of the quarter-finals, Iris recites the rule that any Trainer who loses a single Pokémon loses. Iris expresses her determination to not lose as she leaps forward while the announcer introduces her. Iris' opponent is Gray, who she affectionately nicknames "Mr. Fluffy." As Looker gulps in nervousness, Iris and Gray send out Fraxure and Cryogonal, respectively. Iris notes that her Dragon-type Fraxure is at a disadvantage against the Ice-type Cryogonal, but since she knows a lot about Dragon Pokémon, she won't be defeated. Fraxure body slams Cryogonal, but this leaves it open to be grabbed by Cryogonal's ice chains. The chains begin freezing Fraxure, but Iris notes that she's prepared after seeing Black's training on the Tubeline Bridge. The announcer notes how Fraxure is beginning to curl up, which means it's close to fainting.
