==Synopsis==
With the third round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] approaching, {{Ash}} takes the chance to get in some training with {{AP|Infernape}} with {{an|Dawn}} observing alongside {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Torterra}} and {{AP|Glalie}}. Ash tells Infernape to use {{m|Flame Wheel}} against {{an|Brock}}'s {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}, however during the training Infernape powers up Flame Wheel and manages to learn a brand new move... {{m|Flare Blitz}}! Although it is powerful, Brock cautions Ash that the move also causes [[recoil]] damage to Infernape. {{an|Barry}}, having observed all this, asks Ash if he training in case he goes up against Paul, but Ash is actually preparing for his next battle against [[Conway]]. Barry asks if Ash is planning to battle with Infernape, Torterra and Glalie but Dawn isn't sure that battling with brute force is a good idea against Conway. What nobody realizes is that Conway is listening and taking mental notes, and as it now seems obvious which Pokémon Ash is planning to use he can create an appropriate strategy.
With the third round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] approaching, {{Ash}} takes the chance to get in some training with [[Ash's Infernape|his Infernape]], [[Ash's Torterra|his Torterra]], and [[Ash's Glalie|his Glalie]]. He goes up against [[Brock's Sudowoodo]] while [[Dawn]] and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] watch. Ash tells Infernape to use [[Flame Wheel]] while Sudowoodo blocks the attack. Ash orders Infernape to use Flame Wheel again but this Flame Wheel is different. By powering up Flame Wheel, Infernape has learned a new move: [[Flare Blitz]]! With its new move, Infernape uses Flare Blitz against Sudowoodo. Sudowoodo tries to block the attack but is no match for Flare Blitz and is sent crashing back. [[Barry]] comes along and is wowed by the Flare Blitz. Although it is powerful, Brock warns Ash not to overuse Flare Blitz as it deals serious [[recoil]] damage.


The battle between Ash and Conway takes place on a grass field. Conway chooses {{p|Shuckle}} as his first Pokémon, and Ash chooses his {{AP|Noctowl}}. Conway is shocked and realizes that, although he'd thought that Ash would use Infernape as it had just learned a new move, his calculations were off about which of Ash's Pokémon he'd be battling. Meanwhile Dawn, knowing Ash caught Noctowl while in [[Johto]], looks it up on her [[Pokédex]] while Barry is surprised to see that it's a [[Shiny Pokémon|different color]] to other Noctowl. The battle begins, and Conway starts by telling Shuckle to use {{m|Withdraw}}. Eager to show how much Noctowl has improved, Ash starts by ordering a {{m|Sky Attack}} from Noctowl, anticipating that it would be powerful enough to break Shuckle's defense. But Conway has Shuckle use Withdraw which increases Shuckle's defense to such an extent that Noctowl is thrown back when it hits Shuckle. Shuckle switched to attack mode and the {{m|Power Trick}} enhanced its power. Brock explains that Power Trick switches the user's defense stats with its attack stats, so now Shuckle has a very high attack, but its defense is very low. It used a {{m|Gyro Ball}} and Noctowl countered with an {{m|Air Slash}}. But Shuckle's attack, which was enhanced by Power Trick, broke through the Air Slash and hit Noctowl. Noctowl fell down to the ground and received critical damage, so Ash recalled it and sent out his {{AP|Donphan}}. Donphan used {{m|Rollout}} and Shuckle used {{m|Sludge Bomb}} to stop the attack but to no avail. So Conway had Shuckle use Gyro Ball which hit Donphan and knocked it off course, causing it to crash into a boulder. Donphan took serious damage from this crash, so Ash recalled it and sent out his {{AP|Gible}}. Shuckle started the battle off with a Gyro Ball and when Shuckle was about to hit, Gible caught it in its mouth. Ash says that Gible's habit of biting anything has come to his advantage. Shuckle struggled to get out of Gible's mouth to no avail, so it used Sludge Bomb inside Gible's mouth, which began to poison it. Angered, Ash ordered Gible to used {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Gible shot the big, orange ball of energy to the sky, with Shuckle trapped inside it. Conway thinks that Gible hasn't been able to use Draco Meteor properly but he is proven wrong. As the balls broke into meteor fragments and the fragments showered all over the arena, Shuckle fell down to the ground, knocked out cold. Ash scored his first victory over Conway.  
Barry asks if Ash is training for a match against [[Paul]] but Ash reminds him that he still needs to beat [[Conway]] first. This leads Barry to ask if Ash is going with Infernape, Torterra, and Glalie for the day's match. Dawn, however, isn't too sure if brute force is enough to beat Conway. They all fail to realize though that Conway is hiding behind a tree and eavesdropping on their conversation. He takes mental notes on what Pokémon Ash will be using against him and prepares his strategy.


For his next Pokémon, Conway sent out his {{p|Lickilicky}}. Lickilicky used {{m|Lick}} which confused Gible. But soon it snapped out of confusion and Ash told it to use {{m|Dig}}. However, Lickilicky used {{m|Power Whip}} and shot it underground to throw Gible out of the ground and into the air. Ash quickly recalled Gible and sent out Noctowl. Lickilicky used its Power Whip but it couldn't reach Noctowl, who was flying in the sky. Noctowl took advantage and used Air Slash, which scored a direct hit. When Lickilicky recovered, he used {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Noctowl dodged and used {{m|Extrasensory}} to lift Lickilicky up in the air and throw it down to the ground. Lickilicky was knocked out and Ash received his second victory over Conway.
Before the battle between Ash and Conway starts, a [[Tangrowth]] is seen rendering a [[Hippowdon]] to be unable to battle, thus concluding the fifth match of round three. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is selling snacks in the stadium and see [[Cynthia]]. They manage to attract her over and while she decides on whether to get a sandwich or an ice cream her presence is able to attract several other customers and thus boosting Team Rocket's business.


Conway sends out {{p|Dusknoir}}, his final Pokémon. Dusknoir starts off with {{m|Trick Room}}, a move which forces slow Pokémons to move first. Ash tells Noctowl to use Extrasensory but Dusknoir dodges and uses {{m|ThunderPunch}} which knocks Noctowl out.
The battle between Ash and Conway finally starts and will be taking place on a grass battlefield. It will be a three-on-three Pokémon battle. Conway chooses [[Shuckle]] as his first Pokémon and Dawn takes the chance to scan Shuckle with her Pokédex. Meanwhile, Ash chooses [[Ash's Noctowl|Nowctowl]]. Conway is surprised that Ash is using different Pokémon than he thought he would. He had thought Ash would use Infernape because it had recently learned a new move. In the stands, knowing that Ash caught Noctowl in the [[Johto]] region, looks it up on her [[Pokédex]]. Barry, on the other hand, is surprised that Ash's Noctowl seems to be a [[Shiny Pokémon|different color]] from the other Noctowl. Conway starts the battle off by telling Shuckle to use [[Withdraw]]. Ash tells Noctowl to use [[Sky Attack]], hoping that it would be enough to break through Shuckle's defense. While Noctowl is swooping down for the kill, Conway tells Shuckle to use Withdraw two more times in order to increase its defense. In the end, Shuckle's defense was too much for Noctowl and Noctowl is sent flying back. Shuckle then uses [[Power Trick]] to switch its Attack and Defense stats. Brock explains that because Shuckle originally had a high Defense stat and low Attack stat, it now has a high Attack stat and a low Defense stat due to the effects of Power Trick. Noctowl then uses [[Air Slash]] and Shuckle counters with [[Gyro Ball]], which is able to break through the Air Slash and hit Noctowl. Noctowl falls to the ground and, having received critical damage, Ash calls it back.  
Ash then sends out his Donphan. Donphan tries to use Rollout but Dusknoir uses {{m|Shadow Punch}} which hits Donphan on his exposed sides before it could use Rollout. Donphan is critically injured and as Ash tries to recall him, Dusknoir uses {{m|Mean Look}} which prevents Donphan from being recalled. Dusknoir then uses one final Shadow Punch and finishes the fight. Ash then sends out Gible as his last Pokémon. Gible tries to use Dig but Dusknoir uses Shadow Punch and knocks Gible into the ground. Gible travels from under the ground and lunges at Dusknoir but Dusknoir dodges and uses Shadow Punch. However Gible spins and grabs Dusknoir's arm in his mouth. Then it uses Draco Meteor to shoot Dusknoir in the air, along with the ball of energy. The ball breaks into meteor fragments and as they rain down, Dusknoir falls down to the ground, but manages to get up. Gible prepares for a {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. But Dusknoir hits him with a Shadow Punch and sends him flying. Gible shoots the Dragon Pulse in midair, which hits Dusknoir, knocks him out and gives Ash victory over Conway. They congratulate each other for a wonderful battle and Conway departs. Later in the Pokémon Center, the match-ups for the next round are revealed and Ash's next opponent is revealed to be none other than [[Paul]].


Later on, Ash is talking to [[Professor Oak]] about the coming matches. Suddenly, Dawn runs in and tells Ash to come outside. The two see a shadow in the moonlight, which is revealed to be [[Ash's Gliscor]].
Ash then sends out [[Ash's Donphan|Donphan]]. Shuckle uses [[Sludge Bomb]] but Donphan counters with [[Rollout]], rendering Sludge Bomb useless. Conway then tells Shuckle to use Gyro Ball again. Gyro Ball hits and causes Donphan to lose control and crash. As a result, Ash recalls Donphan. Brock notes that Donphan's attack is only half as effective if it ever gets deflected and wonders if Ash switched Donphan because of a strategy change.
 
For Ash's third Pokémon, Ash sends out [[Ash's Gible|Gible]]. Conway notes that Gible had not yet mastered [[Draco Meteor]]. Meanwhile, Barry is excited at Gible's entrance and [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are watching the battle. [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] scolds them for not working but James doesn't want to miss the battle. According to Jessie, things are never boring when Gible is around.
 
Conway no longer cares if Gible has mastered Draco Meteor or not and orders Shuckle to use Gyro Ball. Ash tells Gible to catch Shuckle in its mouth, using Gible's habit of biting things to his advantage. Everyone is surprised by this move as not even Conway could have predicted it. With Gible's bite holding strong, Shuckle is unable to escape. To counter, Conway tells Shuckle to use Sludge Bomb in Gible's mouth. Gible is hardly happy about this as Shuckle unleashes several powerful Sludge Bombs in its mouth. With no other choice, Ash tells Gible to spit Shuckle out but Gible has other things in mind as it prepares a Draco Meteor. Shuckle is shot into the air with a now-mastered Draco Meteor. Shuckle crashes to the ground and is rendered unconscious.
 
For his second Pokémon, Conway sends out [[Lickilicky]]. Ash tells Gible to use [[Dragon Pulse]] but Lickilicky uses [[Lick]] before Dragon Pulse has the chance to be fired. Gible is treated to a thorough licking while the audience shivers at this disturbing sight. Ash tells Gible to escape by using [[Dig]] while Lickilicky counters with [[Power Whip]]. Power Whip's power reverberates across the battlefield and Gible is thrown into the air. Before Conway can call any more attacks, Ash recalls Gible and sends out Noctowl once more.
 
Conway orders Lickilicky to use Power Whip once more but its tongue proved to be too short to reach Noctowl. Noctowl then uses Air Slash, which hits Lickilicky right in the face. Lickilicky then uses [[Thunderbolt]] but Noctowl quickly dodges the otherwise super-effective attack. Noctowl uses [[Extrasensory]] to lift Lickilicky into the air and then throws it down to render it unable to battle.  
 
With only one Pokémon left, Conway sends out [[Dusknoir]] and orders [[Trick Room]]. While Ash, Barry, and Dawn are confused as to what Trick Room is, Brock wonders if Conway had used Shuckle and Lickilicky in order to see what Ash's Pokémon for the day would be. Ash tells Noctowl to use Extrasensory but Dusknoir suddenly appears behind Noctowl and uses [[ThunderPunch]]. The attack hits and Noctowl is rendered unable to battle. Ash is confused as to what happened and Conway explains that Trick Rooms allows the slower Pokémon to go first. Because Ash's Noctowl, Donphan, and Gible are all faster, Dusknoir will always be the first one to attack. Brock notes that although Ash seemed to be having the upper advantage, it was actually all happening according to Conway's plans.
 
With Noctowl unconscious, Ash sends out Donphan once more. Ash tells Donphan to use Rollout but Dusknoir strikes first with a powerful [[Shadow Punch]]. This leaves Donphan unable to get back up. Ash tries to switch Donphan out but Dusknoir uses [[Mean Look]] to trap Donphan on the battlefield. Dusknoir uses Shadow Punch again and knocks Donphan unconscious.
 
Ash has no choice but to send out Gible again. Trick Room, however, is still in effect. Ash tells Gible to use Dig but Dusknoir's Shadow Punch is able to hit before Gible can escape. As a result, Gible is hurdled into the ground. Gible then aligns itself under Dusknoir while in the ground and shoots straight up. Dusknoir is ordered to use Shadow Punch once more and reappears behind Gible. Ash then tells Gible to turn around and bite the Shadow Punch. Gible bites Dusknoir's hand and cancels out Shadow Punch. Dusknoir tries to shake Gible off but Gible uses Draco Meteor to shoot Dusknoir into the sky. Dusknoir lands but is still able to battle. Ash tells Gible to use [[Dragon Pulse]] but Dusknoir's Shadow Punch strikes first again. Gible, however, hangs strong and releases his Dragon Pulse, which hits Dusknoir straight in the face and knocks Dusknoir unconscious. With all three of his Pokémon rendered unable to battle, Conway loses the battle to Ash and Ash is now able to advance to the next round. While Ash and his friends cheer, Conway notes that this was the least calculated battle he ever had but at least he gained a new method of battling.
 
The board then randomizes the next set of battles for the Top 8 contestants and Ash is revealed to be facing Paul next.
 
Ash and his friends and Pokémon are seen celebrating outside the stadium when Paul arrives. Pikachu and [[Paul's Electivire]] issue a challenge with each other while Cynthia watches them from them from the balconies, as she looks forward to the battle between the two long-time rivals.
 
Ash is then seen talking to [[Professor Oak]]. He had received [[Ash's Buizel|Buizel]] from the Professor and was now waiting for his last Pokémon to arrive. Just then, Dawn calls Ash outside of the [[Pokémon Center]], telling him that his last Pokémon has arrived. A shadow appears across the moon, only to be revealed as [[Ash's Gliscor]] as it licks its face in eagerness.

Synopsis

With the third round of the Lily of the Valley Conference approaching, Ash takes the chance to get in some training with his Infernape, his Torterra, and his Glalie. He goes up against Brock's Sudowoodo while Dawn and Pikachu watch. Ash tells Infernape to use Flame Wheel while Sudowoodo blocks the attack. Ash orders Infernape to use Flame Wheel again but this Flame Wheel is different. By powering up Flame Wheel, Infernape has learned a new move: Flare Blitz! With its new move, Infernape uses Flare Blitz against Sudowoodo. Sudowoodo tries to block the attack but is no match for Flare Blitz and is sent crashing back. Barry comes along and is wowed by the Flare Blitz. Although it is powerful, Brock warns Ash not to overuse Flare Blitz as it deals serious recoil damage.

Barry asks if Ash is training for a match against Paul but Ash reminds him that he still needs to beat Conway first. This leads Barry to ask if Ash is going with Infernape, Torterra, and Glalie for the day's match. Dawn, however, isn't too sure if brute force is enough to beat Conway.

The battle between Ash and Conway finally starts and will be taking place on a grass battlefield. It will be a three-on-three Pokémon battle.

Trivia

File:NoctowlSparkles.png
Noctowl emerging from its Poké Ball
  • The scene in which Ash's Gliscor made its entrance is somewhat similar to the scene in which it evolved in Fighting Fear with Fear!, exactly one hundred episodes ago.
  • Music from Pokémon Heroes and Giratina and the Sky Warrior was used in this episode.
  • Aim to Be a Pokémon Master 2001 is played during the battle between Gible and Dusknoir.
  • A new effect is used in this episode when Noctowl is sent out of its Poké Ball. Due to Noctowl being a shiny Pokémon, previously when it was sent out it was accompanied by a few white sparkles. However, as sparkles are now standard whenever any Pokémon is sent out from a Poké Ball, Noctowl is instead surrounded by two rings made up of bright yellow sparkles.
  • Despite the fact Ash attempted to recall Donphan before Conway's Dusknoir used the move Mean Look, the move took priority contrary to the conventions of the games.

Errors

  • When the referee declared Donphan unable to battle, his shirt collar is yellow instead of black (as seen earlier in the episode).
  • When Dusknoir hits the ground after being hit by Dragon Pulse, the iris and pupil of Dusknoir's eye was swapped colors.
