The episode is a continuation of the Don Battle Tournament in Raimon City. The episode starts with Ash and his Palpitoad battling against an Dino's Darumaka. Ash commands his Palpitoad to use Hydro Pump, defeating Darumaka, making Ash victorious.
Soon after is the battle between Luke and Iris. Luke sends out his Golett while Iris confidently sends Axew into battle. Iris commands Axew to use Scratch. However, Golett took no damage due to its partial Ghost-type typing, making Normal-type attacks useless.
Golett counterattacks by using Mega Punch, landing a direct hit. Axew then tries to attack with Dragon Rage, while Golett uses Double Team, causing Dragon Rage to miss its mark. Luke commands his pokemon to use Gyro Ball while its two other copies do the same. Axew manages to keep en eye on the upcoming attacks until two of them spin in opposite directions, making Axew confused. The three attacks hit Iris's pokemon at the same time but after, Axew is still standing. Iris sees an oppurtunity to attack and commands her pokemon to use Dragon Rage again. Luke tells Golett to use Shadow Ball, as its copies disappear and it forms a dark, purple ball in its hands. Golett throws it towards Axew as the two attacks collide into one another and a giant explosion is created. Luke once more tells his pokemon to use Gyro Ball as Iris tells Axew to run from it. Goleet continues to chase Axew for a while until Axew stumbles over, exhausted from running. As Golett closes in on Axew, Iris dramatically yells Axew's name. Golett is surprisingly thrown up into the air while Kibago stands with a bright red aura around it. When Golett reaches the ground, Axew angrily attacks it continuosly with punches and powerful kicks. One kick sends Golett flying backwards and smashing against the border wall of the arena, knocking it out. The judge announces Iris the winner and will be advancing to the final round against Ash. She rushes towards her pokemon and congratulates him on learning Outrage as Axew begins to sleep.
Afterwards, Ash, Iris, Cilan, Luke, and Bianca head back to their hotel and eat dinner as well as meet up with their friends. Within the city, Team Rocket is scheming in one of the ferris wheel's carriages.
The next day, the final battle between Iris and Ash commences. Ash first begins by sending Pikachu into battle while Iris decides to use her Excadrill. Ash starts the battle with Pikachu using Thunderbolt, which naturally has no effect on a part Ground-type like Exadrill. Template:Incomplete synopsis
