Plot

The "Pokémon World Coronation Series News" covers the events of the Masters Tournament so far, recapping the quarterfinals matches and providing an analysis of the semifinalists: Leon, Diantha, Cynthia, and Ash. Following the in-depth analysis, the program lists Ash's most shocking World Coronation Series battles so far: his Pikachu's Iron Tail-Quick Attack combo which he used during his Great Class battle against Bea; his Dragonite transforming Haxorus's Dragon Pulse into Draco Meteor during his match against Iris; and his Lucario's giant Aura Sphere during his Promotion Match against Raihan.

The narrator, hosting a radio show, reads listener mail. The first letter is from Allister, which leads to a recap of how Ash first befriended his Gengar. The second letter comes from Wikstrom, leading to a recap of how Ash's Farfetch'd evolved into Sirfetch'd during his battle with Rinto and his Gallade. The clip show ends with a storybook tale told by Dracovish, telling how it woke up in a strange world after sleeping for a long time, but came to like the friends it made and things it could bite on in this new world.
