Plot

Having finally reached the Lumiose Conference finals, Ash is now facing Alain, who has proven to be an extremely powerful Trainer to battle against. With the remaining Pokémon being three-to-two in Ash's favor, Pikachu is now facing Alain's ace: Charizard. Pikachu attacks Charizard with a Thunderbolt, but the Flame Pokémon shrugs off the super effective hit as if it was nothing. Ash commands a Quick Attack, but Pikachu's previous battle against Alain's Metagross is starting to show its effect, causing the Electric Mouse to fall on its knee. A Flamethrower from Charizard lands a clean hit on Pikachu, who barely has any strength left to continue. Charizard takes flight and launches another Flamethrower, but Ash, using a tactic learned from Clemont's Bunnelby, has Pikachu use Iron Tail on the ground, creating a cloud of dirt to block the incoming Fire-type attack. Alain compliments Ash's strategy before ordering a Dragon Claw, which Pikachu counters with an Iron Tail. The two moves clash, but the impact is too much for the weakened Pikachu, who finally faints, leaving both sides with two Pokémon remaining.
Back at the stands, Malva is commentating on the events taking place at the stadium, but her cameramen, Team Rocket, are hardly paying any attention on her, instead complaining about Pikachu losing. James, whom Jessie and Meowth had glared at for rooting for the twerp earlier, is glad to see his fellow team members cheering for Ash too, as none of them is wanting to see their longtime enemy lose to a guy like Alain. In the crowd, Ash's friends are discussing about the battle situation. Sawyer points out that both of Alain's remaining Pokémon have already battled, while Ash's remaining two Pokémon are still at full health, giving him an advantage. Serena agrees to this, seeing the confident smile on Ash's face. At the VIP box, Mairin is encouraging Alain to do his best.
Ash sends out Goodra as his fifth Pokémon, while Alain chooses to recall Charizard and send out his Bisharp again. In order to create an environment suitable for Goodra, Ash has the Dragon Pokémon use Rain Dance, creating a rainstorm on the battlefield. Goodra begins the offensive with Ice Beam, which Bisharp dodges while charging in for an Iron Head. Goodra blocks the attack by grabbing Bisharp with its horns and then throwing it into the air. Goodra's assault continues with a Dragon Pulse, which is blocked by a Focus Blast from Bisharp. As Bisharp charges in for another Iron Head, Ash has Goodra use Bide, forcing it to take the attack. As Bide is charging, Alain continues his own offensive by having Bisharp attack with another Focus Blast and Iron Head, severely damaging Goodra. Ash launches a counterattack in the form of a full-charged Bide, which hits Bisharp dead on, causing it to fall on its knee. Back at the wetlands, Keanan and the wetland Pokémon are following the battle on TV, while Meyer and Clembot listen to the broadcast from a radio while doing a repair job on a roof in Lumiose City.
Back at the stadium, Bisharp hits Goodra straight into the face with an Iron Head, causing the severely weakened Dragon Pokémon to fall on its knees. Alain orders Bisharp to go for the finish with a Guillotine, which Goodra desperately attempts to counter with a Dragon Pulse, but the Sword Blade Pokémon slices through the counterattack and delivers a devastating Guillotine, causing Goodra's endurance to finally run out and the resilient Dragon-type to faint, leaving Ash with just Pokémon remaining: Greninja. As Ash's Water-type is sent out, Malva comments how losing Greninja would result in Ash's defeat. Behind her, Team Rocket grumpily comments on how she's acting as if Greninja's defeat is only a matter of time, as they of all people know how tough Ash can be.
Alain commands an Iron Head from Bisharp, which Greninja counters with a Double Team. As Bisharp is trying to find the real one among the clones, Ash calls a Water Shuriken from Greninja, which makes a direct hit on Bisharp, finally taking it out of the fight. Sawyer realizes that Ash used the rain created by Goodra's Rain Dance to his advantage, as it powers up Greninja's Water-type moves. For his final Pokémon, Alain calls out his Charizard once again. Both Ash and Alain are determined to do their best with their final battlers.
