JN110: Difference between revisions

<!--* {{BMGf||Dub review thread on BMGf}}-->

Once Goh has arrived on the lowest deck as instructed, Danika contacts him and informs him that today's mission is survival: all the challengers must battle each other, with the last one standing receiving three tokens as a reward. The mission starts, with Goh's [[Rotom Phone]] displaying a map of the ship's lowest floor and the locations of all the challengers, him included. A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Granbull}} tries to attack him, but Inteleon defeats it with a single {{m|Mud Shot}}. Another Trainer approaches him, but he quickly recognizes said Trainer as his friend, [[Horace]], who's accompanied by his {{p|Gardevoir}}. Just as the floor map temporarily disappears from their phone screens, Trainers with a {{p|Barbaracle}} and a {{p|Zangoose}} appear, but Inteleon and Gardevoir make short work of them, forcing the defeated Trainers to return to the entrance. Goh and Horace decide to team up, with Ash and Danika witnessing this through a holographic screen that shows drone footage from within the facility. Elsewhere, a challenger named [[Shunya]] easily defeats some other challengers before he's approached by a girl named [[Lyla]], who offers him an alliance.

Meanwhile, Goh and Horace are wandering through the dark as they consider the possibility of hiding instead of fighting, but the map displaying their locations quickly devalues this idea. Moreover, the map shows that the remaining challengers are moving in pairs, meaning that they've understood that being in a team is advantageous to them. To prove this point, they're then approached by a pair of challengers using a {{p|Banette}} and a {{p|Shiftry}}. Banette starts attacking Gardevoir with its {{t|Ghost}} [[move]]s, while Shiftry targets Inteleon with its {{t|Grass}} moves. When Gardevoir falls down, Goh almost attacks on his own, until Horace reminds him of what results that had during [[JN102|their Raid Battle against]] {{p|Articuno}}. Understanding his point, Goh leaves the support moves like {{m|Reflect}} and {{m|Heal Pulse}} to Gardevoir while Inteleon attacks both of the opposing Pokémon, throwing off their strategy and soon defeating them. In another part of the facility, Shunya and Lyla also defeat a pair of challengers, with Shunya noting that any opponent can be easy if they let their guard down.

Goh and Horace manage to avoid the Pokémon hordes by hiding in a small room until they've passed. Just as Horace expresses how he'd rather make friends with other people looking to find {{p|Mew}} than battling them, they hear a cry of help from further within the facility and follow it to find Shunya and Lyla, with Lyla claiming that her partner betrayed her and defeated her {{p|Liepard}} when her back was turned. Horace is ready to help her, but Goh is suspicious, since the Project Mew drone has not appeared to rule Liepard [[Fainting|unable to battle]]. Further requests for help still convince Horace to defend Lyla, but as soon as his back is turned, Lyla's Liepard pounces at his Gardevoir with {{m|Sucker Punch}}, following which Shunya's Vikavolt attacks the {{pkmn|category|Embrace Pokémon}} with {{m|Discharge}}, leaving it {{status|paralyzed}}. Shunya and Lyla mock Horace for being gullible and focus their attention on Inteleon, declaring that it's the final Pokémon they need to defeat, as every other challenger has been taken down. Inteleon starts battling the two opposing Pokémon, but is outmatched. When Inteleon gets caught in Vikavolt's {{m|String Shot}}, Gardevoir stands back up and manages to save Inteleon from being defeated by using {{m|Confuse Ray}} on Vikavolt and Liepard, giving the Secret Agent Pokémon enough time to free itself and allowing it to defeat its opponents with {{m|Snipe Shot}} and {{m|Liquidation}}.

With Shunya and Lyla defeated, Goh and Horace are the last challengers remaining. However, their celebration of this is cut short when Danika contacts them to remind them that only one challenger can win this mission. To Danika's surprise, Horace announces that he's decided to forfeit, as he doesn't want to battle against his friend. Goh tells him not to do so, as there's no telling if he could ever get another chance at realizing his dream to reach {{p|Celebi}} through Mew. As such, he convinces Horace to battle him with no holding back, which he eventually accepts. Since both Inteleon and Gardevoir have already taken heavy [[damage]], both Trainers are aware that a single blow will decide the match. Goh tries to use Inteleon's invisibility to his advantage, but Gardevoir counters by using its precognitive powers to counter its attacks, finally culminating with Inteleon being taken down by a {{m|Moonblast}}, making Horace the winner. Goh lets Horace head out ahead of him, clenching his fist when he's not looking.

On Sea Mauville's deck, Danika congratulates Horace and rewards him with three tokens. In addition, Goh receives two tokens for finishing second, and Shunya and Lyla receive one each for finishing third and fourth, respectively. [[Quillon]] appears on a nearby screen, informing that, at his trial site, Gary emerged victorious, just as Danika had anticipated. Quillon declares that since the rainy season is ending sooner than expected, the Chaser selection process is being sped up by eliminating all challengers with less than four tokens. A scoreboard is displayed, showing how many tokens each remaining challenger has, with Gary being in the lead with 12 tokens. Horace, Shunya, Lyla, and two other challengers are also ahead of Goh, leaving him well outside the Top 3 who are going to be selected as Chasers.
