==Synopsis==

The episode begins with the announcer, [[Freddy O'Martian]] announcing that the battle between {{an|Iris}} against [[Burgundy]] is going to begin very soon. {{an|Cilan}} says he is looking forward to seeing how much stronger Burgundy has gotten. {{Ash}}, {{AP|Scraggy}}, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} give Iris support. However, Burgundy says it'll be an easy win so Iris shouldn't get her hopes up. The referee announces that battle will now begin! Burgundy starts off by commanding {{p|Dewott}} to use {{m|Ice Beam}}. Ash is quite amazed. {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} dodges twice but then instead of dodging again it blocks it. Cilan says Dewott has gotten stronger and Iris may struggle. [[Georgia]] says that Iris must win so she can battle her. {{an|Bianca}} pokes Scraggy and says unlike {{TP|Stephan|Sawk}}, Scraggy has no muscles. She checks to see if Scraggy has muscles on its stomach, causing Scraggy to {{m|headbutt}} Bianca.

Continuing the battle, Dewott uses a {{m|Water Pulse}} which Excadrill dodges by using {{m|Dig}}. Burgundy tells Dewott to use Water Pulse in the dug up hole sending Excadrill flying! Dewott uses {{m|Razor Shell}}, but Excadrill counters with its {{m|Focus Blast}}. Trip then scans the pictures he took and says there's no point in watching anymore since he knows the battle style of the two. [[Masaomi]] says its extremely boring and he doesn't have to worry about either Iris or Burgundy winning against him. Iris commands Excadrill to use {{m|Drill Run}} but Dewott blocks it. However both of its [[Scalchop|scalchops]] fall off. Iris commands Excadrill to use {{m|Metal Claw}}, which Burgundy just lets it use Metal Claw over and over again. Iris tells Burgundy that {{type|Water}}s may be resistant to the {{type2|Steel}}, but since Metal Claw was used repeatedly, it did a great deal of damage. However, this was all part of Burgundy's plan. Burgundy orders Dewott to use {{m|Revenge}}, which does lots of damage. Burgundy tells Dewott to finish the battle with a Razor Shell, which is countered by a Drill Run attack. Burgundy orders another Ice Beam which is countered again by a Focus Blast attack. Excadrill then defeats Dewott with a Dig-Drill Run combination, advancing her to the second round.

Everyone breaks for lunch at the [[Pokémon Center]]. Burgundy says next time, she'll get revenge on Iris and Cilan. However, Georgia says she'll be the one to defeat Iris, not Burgundy. Ash says hello to Trip and asks if Bianca is his first opponent. Trip rudely replies by saying Ash should worry about his own Pokémon and says Scraggy may have learned Focus Blast, but it hasn't mastered it yet. Later, Ash, tries to perfect Scraggy's Focus Blast. However, Ash and Scraggy have trouble perfecting it. However, Stephan says he and Sawk will help Scraggy. He says it would be good training for the 2nd round as well. However, Bianca comes and admires Stephan and his Sawk. Iris and Cilan come to tell Ash the [[Donamite]] is about to resume. Sawk punches one of the punching bags which is swung back and forth. Stephan then heads to the Donamite with Sawk. Masaomi then laughs at Sawk after they head out. {{p|Throh}} stops the moving punching bag and throws it, breaking the punching bag to bits!

The scene changes with [[Bakkie]] ordering her {{p|Simipour}} to use {{m|Low Sweep}} on [[Chakkie]]'s {{p|Simisear}} knocking it out. The next match begins with [[Grace]] against Georgia. Georgia sends out {{p|Bisharp}} and Grace sends out her {{p|Druddigon}}. Georgia says this is a chance to show her Dragon Buster skills. Druddigon begins with {{m|Dragon Claw}} followed up by a {{m|Dragon Tail}}. But, Bisharp blocks the first attack and dodges the second. Georgia orders a {{m|Metal Sound}} then finishes Druddigon with an {{m|Iron Head}}.

The battle between Masaomi and [[Domon]] begins. Ash scans his Pokédex on {{p|Mienshao}}. Domon orders Mienshao to use {{m|Pound}}, which Throh swiftly dodges. Domon tells Mienshao to use {{m|Hi Jump Kick}} which Throh counters with {{m|Superpower}}, followed up by {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Throh finally finishes Mienshao with {{m|Circle Throw}}.

The final match of the first round begins, with Trip against Bianca. Bianca sends out her newly evolved {{TP|Bianca|Emboar}}, while Trip sends out {{TP|Trip|Conkeldurr}}. Bianca orders an {{m|Arm Thrust}} attack, which is blocked by Conkeldurr's concrete pillars. Emboar uses {{m|Hammer Arm}} which is also blocked. Bianca tells Emboar to use {{m|Flamethrower}} which is once again blocked. Trip tells Conkeldurr to use {{m|Bulk Up}}. Then Conkeldurr uses {{m|Strength}} doing lots of damage. Then Trip orders {{m|Rock Tomb}}, successfully trapping Emboar. Bianca commands Emboar to use Arm Thrust to break out, but it's no use. Finally, Trip tells Conkeldurr to finish the battle with {{m|Stone Edge}}.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Bisharp and its {{p|Pawniard|pre-evolution}}.
** The types it has are also the two types that were introduced in [[Generation II]].
** This makes Bisharp and its pre-evolution the only Pokémon to have a double resistance to {{t|Ghost}}.
* {{p|Pawniard}} and Bisharp cannot learn any [[special move]]s by [[level]]ing up or {{pkmn|breeding}}.
* Pawniard and Bisharp are the only Pokémon that can have {{a|Defiant}} as a non-Hidden Ability.

===Origin===
It looks similar to a {{wp|knight}} and may be based on Arthurian legends of {{wp|black knight}}s. It may also have gained origin from the Kaijin style of Japanese monster movies, involving a humanoid creature that acts as a villain. There is also a resemblance to the {{wp|Super Sentai}} and {{wp|Kamen Rider Series}}' suited heroes.

====Name origin====
Bisharp is a combination of the word ''[[wp:Bishop (chess)|bishop]]'', keeping with the {{wp|chess}} theme in its evolutionary line, and the word ''sharp'', describing its metal blades. Fittingly enough, if a [[wp:Pawn (chess)|pawn]] reaches the end of the opponent's side of the board, the player can choose to "[[wp:Promotion (chess)#Promotion to rook or bishop|promote]]" it to either a [[wp:Rook (chess)|rook]], [[wp:Knight (chess)|knight]], bishop, or [[wp:Queen (chess)|queen]], similar to how Pawniard evolves into Bisharp. Furthermore, it may also derive from ''bisect'', which means "to cut or split into two", referencing the lethality of Bisharp's cutting abilities.

''Kirikizan'' is probably derived from 切り刻む　''kirikizamu'', to mince and 斬 ''zan'', to cut or slay.

Its red, gold tipped shoulders resemble shoulder pads and its connecting torso and arms are colored black. Its hands are glove-like and metallic in appearance and have retractable blade-like appendages attached to them. On its torso are two bladed discs which resemble a ribcage. Down its body are two dark lines that run down and around to the back, which gives the appearance of it wearing armour. Its thighs are circular and red colored and progressively get thinner as they connect to the feet. The feet are long and split apart down the middle. Both feet are metallic and blade-like, the split down the middle somewhat resembles {{wp|ungulate}} hooves and is also very similar to steel war boots, or possibly bladed leggings.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Bisharp and its {{p|Pawniard|pre-evolution}}.
** The types it has are also the two types that were introduced in [[Generation II]].
** This makes Bisharp and its pre-evolution the only Pokémon to have a double resistance to {{t|Ghost}}.
* {{p|Pawniard}} and Bisharp cannot learn any [[special move]]s by [[level]]ing up or {{pkmn|breeding}}.
* Pawniard and Bisharp are the only Pokémon that can have {{a|Defiant}} as a non-Hidden Ability.

===Origin===
It looks similar to a {{wp|knight}} and may be based on Arthurian legends of {{wp|black knight}}s. It may also have gained origin from the Kaijin style of Japanese monster movies, involving a humanoid creature that acts as a villain. There is also a resemblance to the {{wp|Super Sentai}} and {{wp|Kamen Rider Series}}' suited heroes.

====Name origin====
Bisharp is a combination of the word ''[[wp:Bishop (chess)|bishop]]'', keeping with the {{wp|chess}} theme in its evolutionary line, and the word ''sharp'', describing its metal blades. Fittingly enough, if a [[wp:Pawn (chess)|pawn]] reaches the end of the opponent's side of the board, the player can choose to "[[wp:Promotion (chess)#Promotion to rook or bishop|promote]]" it to either a [[wp:Rook (chess)|rook]], [[wp:Knight (chess)|knight]], bishop, or [[wp:Queen (chess)|queen]], similar to how Pawniard evolves into Bisharp. Furthermore, it may also derive from ''bisect'', which means "to cut or split into two", referencing the lethality of Bisharp's cutting abilities.

''Kirikizan'' is probably derived from 切り刻む　''kirikizamu'', to mince and 斬 ''zan'', to cut or slay.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Bisharp and its {{p|Pawniard|pre-evolution}}.
** The types it has are also the two types that were introduced in [[Generation II]].
** This makes Bisharp and its pre-evolution the only Pokémon to have a double resistance to {{t|Ghost}}.
* {{p|Pawniard}} and Bisharp cannot learn any [[special move]]s by [[level]]ing up or {{pkmn|breeding}}.
* Pawniard and Bisharp are the only Pokémon that can have {{a|Defiant}} as a non-Hidden Ability.

===Origin===
It looks similar to a {{wp|knight}} and may be based on Arthurian legends of {{wp|black knight}}s. It may also have gained origin from the Kaijin style of Japanese monster movies, involving a humanoid creature that acts as a villain. There is also a resemblance to the {{wp|Super Sentai}} and {{wp|Kamen Rider Series}}' suited heroes.

====Name origin====
Bisharp is a combination of the word ''[[wp:Bishop (chess)|bishop]]'', keeping with the {{wp|chess}} theme in its evolutionary line, and the word ''sharp'', describing its metal blades. Fittingly enough, if a [[wp:Pawn (chess)|pawn]] reaches the end of the opponent's side of the board, the player can choose to "[[wp:Promotion (chess)#Promotion to rook or bishop|promote]]" it to either a [[wp:Rook (chess)|rook]], [[wp:Knight (chess)|knight]], bishop, or [[wp:Queen (chess)|queen]], similar to how Pawniard evolves into Bisharp. Furthermore, it may also derive from ''bisect'', which means "to cut or split into two", referencing the lethality of Bisharp's cutting abilities.

''Kirikizan'' is probably derived from 切り刻む　''kirikizamu'', to mince and 斬 ''zan'', to cut or slay.
