For the final battle of the [[Lumiose Conference|Kalos League]], the announcer calls out {{Ash}} and [[Alain]] to the stadium; Mairin cheers for [[Alain]] through the sidelines. Facing off, {{Ash}} and Alain are excited to battle each other, with no finalist in a mood to hold back for their friend. The first battlefield for the final is a water and rock field. The [[Battle judge|referee]] announces the rules of the battle, and asks the [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]]s to bring out their Pokémon. Ash chooses his {{AP|Pikachu}}, while Alain sends out his {{p|Tyranitar}}, activating its {{a|Sand Stream}}. {{an|Clemont}} sees this as a tactic by Alain to disrupt the vision of Pikachu and prevent it from attacking and moving around, but {{an|Serena}} is not worried, and {{an|Bonnie}} cheers for Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}.  
This episode starts with {{Ash}} and [[Alain]] entering the battlefield and preparing for the final battle in [[Lumiose Conference]]. In the VIP Box, [[Mairin]] cheers for Alain with [[Lysandre]] and a {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}. Their first battlefield comes up and is a water and rock field. The referee states the rules. The match begins with Ash sending out {{AP|Pikachu}} and Alain sends out {{p|Tyranitar}}. Tyranitar's [[Ability]] {{a|Sand Stream}} activates creating a sandstorm. Tyranitar starts the battle with {{m|Dark Pulse}} which Pikachu dodges. The attack breaks a big rock and which lands in the water which gives Ash and idea to use {{m|Iron Tail}} on the water which Pikachu does, splashing up the water which ends up clearing the sandstorm and soaking Tyranitar. Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} which deals damage as {{ashfr}} and [[Sawyer]] compliment Ash on his idea. Pikachu attacks with {{m|Electro Ball}} but Tyranitar counters with {{m|Stone Edge}} which blocks the Electro Ball before smashing the rocks with its tail to send them flying back to Pikachu. Pikachu sends them back with Iron Tail as Alain orders Tyranitar to use {{m|Crunch}} when Pikachu lands which is blocked by Iron Tail by Tyranitar sends Pikachu flying before using Electro Ball which manages to defeat Tyranitar giving Ash the first win.


[[Professor Sycamore]] watched Alain and remembers what he had said and wonders what his feelings are inside as [[Malva]] continues her report with {{TRT}} as her camera crew. As Malva moves off, [[James]] knows the battle will wear out any Pokémon and [[Jessie]] says once they are on empty, they can swoop and steal them but their plotting is interrupted by Malva. Ash recalls Pikachu for a rest and sends out {{AP|Noivern}} as Alain sends out {{p|Weavile}}. Noivern starts the battle with {{m|Supersonic}} but Weavile uses {{m|Protect}} and follows up with {{m|Night Slash}} which hits Noivern. Noivern hits back with Supersonic which affects Weavile but Weavile hits back with {{m|Ice Beam}} which Noivern counters with {{m|Boomburst}}. The attack collide and cancel each other out as Ash orders a {{m|Dragon Claw}} but Weavile dodges with {{m|Double Team}} but Supersonic allows Noivern to find the real one and attack but Weavile dodges and attacks with Ice Beam which {{status|Freeze|freezes}} part of Noivern's wing sending Noivern into the water as Weavile attacks with Night Slash which knocks Noivern out. Ash goes to check on Noivern as {{AP|Hawlucha}} pops out of its [[Poké Ball]] concerned. Ash recalls Noivern and lets Hawlucha battle. Hawlucha starts with {{m|Karate Chop}} which Weavile dodges but Hawlucha continues to chase after it. Sawyer knows that a {{type|Fighting}} move will be super effective but {{an|Clemont}} knows that is if it makes contact. Weavile and Hawlucha end up in the water as Alain has Weavile use Ice Beam at Hawlucha's feet which freezes the water to create an Ice Field. Weavile uses another Ice Beam but Ash has Hawlucha stay where it is and takes the hit which leaves it glowing red. Weavile goes to use Night Slash but Ash tells Hawlucha to wait as it takes another hit. Clemont sees that Ash is using the ice to reduce the damage as Alain orders another Night Slash which strikes and deals damage but Hawlucha is still standing as Weavile goes for another Night Slash but Hawlucha attacks back and defeats Weavile with {{m|Flying Press}}.
Alain begins the battle by commanding a {{m|Dark Pulse}} from his {{p|Tyranitar}}; Pikachu avoids the attack. Ash sees a strategy and has Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}} on the stream of water. The splash from the water clears away the {{weather|Sandstorm|sandstorm}}, while soaking the Armor Pokémon, causing {{m|Thunderbolt}} to deal more damage. Pikachu follows up with {{m|Electro Ball}}, which is countered by a {{m|Stone Edge}} from Tyranitar, and Alain has his Pokémon smash the stones with its tail, sending a barrage of stone pieces at the Mouse Pokémon, only to be reflected back with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Tyranitar follows up with {{m|Crunch}}, but Pikachu uses Iron Tail; Tyranitar, however, grabs his tail in its mouth and swings it back. Pikachu retaliates with {{m|Electro Ball}}, and thus, causes the Armor Pokémon to faint. {{ashfr|Ash's friends}} are excited at an early lead, and [[Diantha]] commends Ash on his fighting  skills since the semi-finals, something with [[Professor Sycamore]] seems to agree with. He then remembers his conversation with Alain, and wonders what feelings the latter is holding inside him. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is still intent on their plan to steal the finalists' Pokémon after the battle, while [[Malva]] calls them out for the next shot.


Watching the battle, Lysandre notes that Ash has some strong Pokémon as Mairin cheers on Alain saying he can do it as Alain sends out {{p|Bisharp}} as his next Pokémon. Ash keeps Hawlucha in as Bisharp uses {{m|Thunder Wave}} which {{status|Paralysis|paralyzes}} Hawlucha. Hawlucha manages to stand up but Alain has Bisharp use {{m|Guillotine}} which Hawlucha counters with {{m|X-Scissor}}. The moves collide but no one is knocked out as Ash orders {{m|High Jump Kick}} which Bisharp dodges causing Hawlucha [[recoil|crash damage]]. Hawlucha is unable to dodge another Guillotine causing Hawlucha to get knocked out. Recalling Bisharp, Alain notes battling Ash is a lot of fun and sends out {{p|Unfezant}} as Ash sends out {{AP|Talonflame}} as the two take to the sky, their trainers order them to use {{m|Steel Wing}}. Their moves collide but they continue to battle as Ash orders {{m|Flame Charge}} but Alain has Unfezant counter with {{m|Sky Attack}}. Their moves keeping colliding as Alain orders {{m|Air Slash}}. Talonflame keeps dodging but is eventually hit as Ash decides to increase Talonflame's speed with Flame Charge which Unfezant dodges before getting hit and attacking with Sky Attack. Talonflame counters with {{m|Brave Bird}}. The attacks collide and both fall to the ground, knocked out.
Ash recalls Pikachu, and sends out his {{AP|Noivern}} on the battlefield, while Alain sends out his {{p|Weavile}}. Noivern uses {{m|Supersonic}} but Weavile uses {{m|Protect}} to protect itself, and follows up with {{m|Night Slash}}. {{AP|Noivern}} uses Supersonic again, connecting this time around. Alain has Weavile use {{m|Ice Beam}}, but Noivern counters with {{m|Boomburst}}, and follows up with {{m|Dragon Claw}}. Feeling cornered, Weavile uses {{m|Double Team}} to evade the Sound Wave Pokémon, but the latter uses {{m|Supersonic}} to successfully find the real one, and proceeds to attack it with {{m|Dragon Claw}}. Weavile avoids the attack, and counters with {{m|Ice Beam}}. After some swift dodging, Noivern eventually gets hits by the move, and falls in the stream of water; he is then attacked by {{m|Night Slash}}, and is knocked out.


After change of battlefield, Clemont tells {{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Trevor}} and {{an|Tierno}} that Ash hasn't beaten Alain before making Shauna realize how strong Alain is but {{an|Serena}} says that is the old Ash. Mairin notes that Alain is smiling, something she has yet to see him do as Lysandre notes to himself that every eye in the world will be watching. The next battlefield is grass as Ash sends Pikachu back out as Alain calls out {{p|Metagross}}. Pikachu starts the match with Thunderbolt but Metagross's {{m|Agility}} allows Metagross to dodge. Pikachu tries to run and Metagross stops him and strikes with {{m|Metal Claw}} before attacking with {{m|Rock Slide} which leaves him injured under the rocks before emerging but is attacked by {{m|Meteor Mash}}. Team Rocket is watching as {{MTR}} notes it would be good have Metagross on their team as Jessie says they can grab both of them. Alain goes to end this with Meteor Mash but Pikachu counters with Electro Ball before jumping on Metagross. Metagross tries to shake Pikachu off but Pikachu strikes back with Thunderbolt causing serious damage. Metagross manages to shake Pikachu off but an Iron Tail knocks Metagross out. James much to Jessie and Meowth's annoyance begins to cheer for Ash as Alain recalls Metagross and surprises everyone by sending out {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. Pikachu starts off with  {{m|Quick Attack}} landing a hit before launching a Thunderbolt causing more damage.
Ash sends out his {{AP|Hawlucha}} to battle next, who uses {{m|Karate Chop}} to attack the Sharp Claw Pokémon, but Hawlucha misses every strike. Weavile successfully leads him in the water and uses Ice Beam at his feet, but the Wrestling Pokémon avoids the attack. However, the Ice Beam manages to freeze the stream of water, so that Hawlucha has difficulty walking over it. Weavile uses another Ice Beam, and Hawlucha takes the super-effective hit head on. Weavile follows up with another Night Slash, but Hawlucha blocks it; Clemont notes that Hawlucha is using the ice to reduce the damage from attacks. Weavile uses Night Slash again, knocking Hawlucha backwards, but Ash is unconcerned and claims that Hawlucha gets stronger by taking his opponent's attacks. Alain asks Weavile to use Night Slash again, but Hawlucha responds this time by flying towards the Sharp Claw Pokémon, and throwing it onto the battlefield. Hawlucha then uses {{m|Flying Press}} to successfully knock Weavile out, while inadvertently breaking off the ice as well. Serena, Clemont and [[Sawyer]] talk about the trust between Ash and his Pokémon, and [[Lysandre]] takes a note of the strength of Ash's Pokémon. [[Mairin]] shouts a cheer for Alain, as he sends out his {{p|Bisharp}} to battle, which uses {{m|Thunder Wave}} to {{status|Paralysis|paralyze}} the Wrestling Pokémon. Alain has {{p|Bisharp}} use {{m|Guillotine}}; Hawlucha retaliates with {{m|X-Scissor}}, and the two Pokémon collide head-on. Hawlucha tries to use {{m|High Jump Kick}} but misses, and Bisharp uses {{m|Guillotine}} to knock out Hawlucha. {{an|Tierno}} and {{an|Trevor}} note Alain's strength as Ash and Alain recall their Pokémon; an excited Alain remarks to himself how battling with Ash involves a lot of fun for him and makes him forget about time completely.
 
Alain sends out his {{p|Unfezant}} next, while Ash calls out his {{AP|Talonflame}}. The Proud Pokémon and the Scorching Pokémon have a little exhibition of their flying prowess, before their Trainers command them to use {{m|Steel Wing}}. Then, {{AP|Talonflame}} and {{p|Unfezant}} use {{m|Flame Charge}} and {{m|Sky Attack}}, respectively. Alain has his Unfezant use {{m|Air Slash}} next, who manages to finally hit after swift dodging from Talonflame. The Scorching Pokémon retaliates with {{m|Flame Charge}} next, successfully hitting the Proud Pokémon. Unfezant uses {{m|Sky Attack}} while Ash has his Talonflame use {{m|Brave Bird}}, and the head-on collision of moves knocks both the Pokémon out.
 
With only three Pokémon left per side, the battlefield goes down for changing. {{an|Clemont}} expresses his concern about the fate of the battle, and {{an|Trevor}} remarks that one little mistake can change the course of the battle. Clemont reveals to Tierno, Trevor and Shauna that Ash has never managed to defeat Alain, leading {{an|Shauna}} to wonder about the latter's strength, but Serena asserts her own belief, stating that Ash's strength has increased a lot [[XY116|since the last time Ash and Alain battled]]. On the battlefield, Pikachu cheers on Ash, and the latter encourages Alain to have fun to the end. Alain smiles, and remarks to himself about Ash's sportsmanship. Mairin notices Alain smiling, revealing that she had never seen him smile before. [[Lysandre]] comments that the finals are about to reach the climax, and [[XY131|that]] [[XY132|every]] [[XY133|eye]] [[XY134|will]] [[XY135|be]] [[XY136|upon]] [[Lumiose City]].
 
The new battlefield is revealed to be a grass-field. Ash sends out his Pikachu to face off against Alain's {{p|Metagross}}. Pikachu begins the battle by using {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but {{p|Metagross}} uses {{m|Agility}} to evade the attack. Metagross strikes Pikachu with {{m|Metal Claw}}, and follows up another hit with {{m|Rock Slide}}. A damaged Pikachu moves the rocks away, and is hit by a {{m|Meteor Mash}}. Still hanging on, the Mouse Pokémon counters another {{m|Meteor Mash}} with an Electro Ball, and then jumps atop the Iron Leg Pokémon. Metagross tries to shake Pikachu off, but Pikachu's hold is tight, who uses Thunderbolt to deal serious damage. After some effort, and encouragement from its Trainer, Metagross manages to shake Pikachu off itself, but the latter uses Iron Tail on the heavily damaged Metagross, and successfully knocks it out. Mairin seems displeased at the loss, while the group in the sidelines is happy that Ash has taken the lead once again. [[Diantha]] and [[Professor Sycamore]] praise Ash for his cleverness; [[James]] is happy as well that Ash has won, something which does not seem to please [[Jessie|his]] {{MTR|teammates}}.
 
For his next Pokémon, Alain sends out his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, worrying Ash's friends. Ash has his Pikachu use {{m|Quick Attack}} to hit the Flame Pokémon, followed by a super effective Thunderbolt, bringing Charizard to its knees. Serena wishes luck to Ash and Pikachu, and everyone watches with utter curiosity as the Kalos League finals reach the end.
