Ash reunites with Sawyer and challenges him to a three-on-three Pokémon battle. Sawyer is a formidable opponent who has collected all eight Kalos Gym Badges needed for the Kalos League. During the match, Ash sends out Greninja to fight against Sawyer's Sceptile. Although a mysterious power typically connects Ash and Greninja, it fails to activate in this specific encounter. Consequently, Ash is unable to turn the tide of the battle. Sawyer emerges victorious, securing the win for his team. The episode highlights the difficulty Ash faces against a fully prepared rival whose Pokémon are well-trained and strategically deployed.
