The battle between {{Ash}} and [[Sawyer]] continues as Sawyer's {{p|Aegislash}} stands before {{AP|Pikachu}} after it has cut down all the trees and cleared the battlefield with {{m|Sacred Sword}}, limiting Pikachu's options for evading attacks. Ash wonders what Sawyer could be planning by cutting the trees down, while {{Ashfr}} in the stands ponder the same question. Back on the battlefield, Sawyer praises Aegislash and Ash informs Pikachu that they need to be careful while battling Aegislash. [[Professor Sycamore]] is interested by Sawyer's battling technique, while [[Diantha]] wonders what he could be planning for Pikachu during the battle, commenting on how Sawyer has analyzed the battle so far. Alain watches the battle between the two from the stands. | The battle between {{Ash}} and [[Sawyer]] continues as Sawyer's {{p|Aegislash}} stands before {{AP|Pikachu}} after it has cut down all the trees and cleared the battlefield with {{m|Sacred Sword}}, limiting Pikachu's options for evading attacks.

Ash makes his next command, ordering Pikachu to use {{m|Iron Tail}}, but Sawyer quickly has Aegislash use {{m|King's Shield}} to protect itself from the attack. Pikachu's Iron Tail connects with the King's Shield, causing Pikachu's {{stat|Attack}} stat to harshly drop as a result, which reminds Ash that attacking Aegislash will be difficult. Clemont and Tierno note how King's Shield needs to be dealt with properly and not handled carelessly. Seeing an opportunity to attack, Sawyer commands Aegislash to use {{m|Sacred Sword}}, which Pikachu successfully dodges, only to be struck when he gets too close, slamming into the ground after the hit. Tierno wonders if Sawyer's plan is to limit Pikachu's speed, with the scattered logs forming unstable footing for Pikachu, whereas Aegislash is floating in the air, giving it the advantage. Sawyer continues to have Aegislash use Sacred Sword, which Pikachu is able to avoid several times until he backs himself into a corner and is hit. Ash attempts to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} instead, but that is soon blocked by King's Shield once again. During Aegislash's change to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Aegislash|Shield Forme}}, Ash notices how it joins with its shield. | Ash makes his next command, ordering Pikachu to use {{m|Iron Tail}}, but Sawyer quickly has Aegislash use {{m|King's Shield}} to protect itself from the attack.

During Aegislash's change to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Aegislash|Shield Forme}}, Ash notices how it joins with its shield. He tells Pikachu that he has a risky idea, but he trusts Pikachu to be able to handle it. Sawyer quickly notices the change in Ash's expression, one he has seen numerous times. As Sawyer tells Aegislash not to let its guard down, Ash commands Pikachu to use Iron Tail, which he slams into the ground, forcing the logs all around into the air. Sawyer responds confidently by having Aegislash use {{m|Fury Cutter}}, but as Ash orders Pikachu to use the logs to close in, Aegislash is unable to land a hit as Pikachu darts between the midair logs. Aegislash dices up all the logs around it but still misses Pikachu. When Pikachu finally appears to be closing for an attack, Sawyer commands Aegislash to use King's Shield. Setting his plan into action, Ash orders Pikachu to throw one of the logs, which wedges into Aegislash's shield where it would normally join to complete its King's Shield. Already in the middle of its move, Aegislash becomes stuck when it attempts to form King's Shield, and Ash orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, which connects and knocks Aegislash out. | ||
With Sawyer's remaining Pokémon brought down to three, the battlefield is changed. While the field is being changed, Sawyer and Ash talk about how the latter was able to win the battle against Aegislash, and Sawyer notices that Ash has complete trust in his Pokémon and that's what makes them strong. The new battlefield is brought up and is revealed to be a desert field, and Ash and Sawyer send out their Pokémon for the next battle, {{AP|Noivern}} and {{p|Salamence}}, as Serena scans the latter with her [[Pokédex]]. The battle begins with Ash commanding {{m|Boomburst}}, which is dodged by Salamence numerous times before finally connecting. Noivern then uses {{m|Dragon Claw}} but Sawyer has Salamence use {{m|Dragon Rush}} to counter. As the two attacks collide and Noivern recoils, Ash checks on Noivern to make sure he's alright. In the meantime, Sawyer commands Salamence to use {{m|Incinerate}}. Noivern nimbly dodges each fireball flung its way, but after dodging the last, Salamence suddenly pops up in front of Noivern and uses {{m|Dragon Tail}} to send him flying. Clemont theorizes that Salamence deliberately used Incinerate to guide Noivern's movements. After checking that Noivern is alright, Ash has him dodge Salamence's resumed Incinerate attacks. As Salamence winds up for another fireball, Ash has him use Boomburst to intercept it. The attacks collide and create a smoke cloud, which Ash uses to his advantage by commanding Noivern to use {{m|Acrobatics}}. Remembering that Noivern can see even in the smoke, Sawyer has Salamence use {{m|Protect}}, narrowly blocking Noivern's oncoming attack. Ash and Sawyer command their Pokémon to use Dragon Rush and Acrobatics, and the two collide powerfully. As the smoke clears, both Pokémon are revealed to have been knocked out. Both Ash and Sawyer return their defeated Pokémon to their Poké Balls. Sawyer immediately sends out his fifth Pokémon, {{p|Slurpuff}}, and Ash sends out his {{AP|Goodra}} in response. Sawyer remarks to himself that he's never battled Goodra before and tells Slurpuff to be ready for anything. | With Sawyer's remaining Pokémon brought down to three, the battlefield is changed.
