The episode begins with {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} as the finally approach [[Mistralton City]]. Up in the sky, a plane begins to do tricks which amazes Ash, Iris, and Cilan. Excited that they've finally arrived, Ash is ready to finally acquire his sixth [[Unova]] [[Badge]]. Ash runs to what appears to be the [[Mistralton Gym|Gym]], but instead the sign says Mistralton Cargo Service. Regardless Ash rushes to the doors only to be stopped by a Trainer who tells Ash that there is a line to battle the [[Gym Leader]]. Ash finds out that he has to reserve a time to battle the Gym Leader. Since all morning battles have been taken, Ash will have to battle in the afternoon. As Ash receives his call slip the same plane that flew overhead lands on the landing strip. The pilot jumps out of the plane and removes her headgear. [[Skyla]] greets the crowd and reveals that she is the Gym Leader for the Mistralton Gym. | The episode begins with {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} as the finally approach [[Mistralton City]].

Skyla approaches the crowd of Trainers to see that there are 15 of them waiting. Ash is surprised and wonders if she can really take on all 15 in the morning alone. Skyla sends out her Pokémon, first a {{p|Swoobat}}, followed by a male {{p|Unfezant}}, and finally a {{TP|Skyla|Swanna}}. The first challenger approaches and sends out his three Pokémon for the battle; a {{p|Zebstrika}}, a {{p|Boldore}}, and an {{p|Emolga}}. Skyla declares an "Air Battle", which confuses Ash and Cilan. Skyla assesses the situation in her mind, predicting how she thinks the battle will play out. In her head she figures that with the type advantage of all three of her opponent's Pokémon has over hers, she promptly gives up without starting a real battle and awards the boy the {{Badge|Jet}}. As the boy runs off, Ash stops him to ask about the Air Battle. Meanwhile the next challenger steps up and sends out her three Pokémon, a {{p|Sewaddle}} a {{p|Pansear}}, and a {{p|Leavanny}}. At the same time she assesses her opponent's Pokémon and declares with the {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Fire}} team she has, there is no way her challenger can win and thus, no Badge for the girl. Ash is utterly dumbfounded by her Gym Battle format since there is no actual battling involved. One after another, all of Skyla's remaining challengers approach. Some are declared victorious while others leave empty handed. The boy tells Ash that Skyla can simulate the battle solely inside of her head, and will give a Badge to those who she thinks she can't win against. Iris can see the merit behind this system, but Cilan does not look pleased. As the final battle for the morning begins, Skyla does her final Air Battle. As Cilan watches, he grows increasingly aggravated by her style of Gym Battles. Finally after finishing her last battle, Cilan and Ash had enough and both of them walk up to Skyla to question her methods. However she ignores them and promptly flies off in her plane until the afternoon comes. | Skyla approaches the crowd of Trainers to see that there are 15 of them waiting.

Cilan snaps, refusing to accept Skyla's way. While Cilan vents his frustration, a man walks up from behind. He too questions Skyla's method and introduces himself as {{an|Miles}} who is also Skyla's grandfather. In the past, Miles was the Gym Leader, but he eventually retired and started the cargo company. Skyla took over and when she first started she would battle the traditional way and she has incredible battling skills. However due to the mass amounts of challengers she received daily, she could no longer fly in her plane as she pleased. Instead she devised her battling system, which all of her challengers seem to accept, whether they win or lose. Cilan objects, but Miles said he has tried in the past to convince her that her method is wrong, but Skyla shrugs it off saying that everyone is happy with this method and it is much easier this way so she doesn't have to work so hard, labeling the traditional Gym Battling system as old school. Ash is told to go and find another Gym instead, but Ash is more convinced to battle Skyla now and, even more so, Cilan wants to battle her as well. | Cilan snaps, refusing to accept Skyla's way.

Finally in the afternoon, Skyla returns from her flight. Cilan cools himself down and apologizes to Skyla for his earlier actions. He formally introduces himself to her as one of the Gym Leaders for the [[Striaton City]] [[Striaton Gym|Gym]]. Skyla is eager to meet a fellow Gym Leader. Cilan proposes a battle, which Skyla promptly accepts. Cilan sends out his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, {{TP|Cilan|Crustle}}, and {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}. Skyla does her mental Air Battle once more and deduces that she will win. Cilan, of course, does not think so, stating that they don't know if they don't really battle, but Skyla is confident in her predictions. Cilan convinces her to battle him for real to truly test out her predictions. Inside the gym, Miles, as referee, declares that it will be a 3-on-3 battle. Cilan sends out his Pansage first as Skyla sends out her Swoobat. Pansage starts off with {{m|Bullet Seed}}, however Swoobat dodges then attacks with {{m|Air Cutter}}. Pansage shakes off the attack then jumps up to {{m|Bite}} Swoobat, but Swoobat dodges with ease. Swoobat finishes Pansage off with a {{m|Gust}}. | Finally in the afternoon, Skyla returns from her flight. Cilan cools himself down and apologizes to Skyla for his earlier actions.
