'''Ash and Trip's Third Battle!''' (Japanese: '''ライバルバトル！バニプッチ、ドッコラー参戦！！''' ''Rival Battle! {{tt|Vanipeti|Vanillite}}, {{tt|Dokkorer|Timburr}} Compete in a Battle!!'') is the 31st episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 688th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on May 12, 2011, and in the United States on September 3, 2011.

==Blurb==

<i>On their way to Nimbasa City, our heroes stop for a lunch that Cilan is preparing—a gourmet meal, as usual. But Ash and Iris's roughhousing ruins the lunch, so Cilan asks them to go and play elsewhere while he prepares lunch all over again.

The scene then changes back over to Cilan, where he is seen preparing the meal once again with his Pansage. He calls out for Iris and Ash announcing that the meal is ready but is unable to see or hear either of them. Since they are not coming, he decides to continue working on his meal with a [[Pecha Berry]] that he has.  

Cilan is seen once again preparing his meal along a newly baked cake with a Pecha Berry on it and is enjoying the scent of it. His Pansage and {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}} return to him and try to explain that they cannot find Ash or Iris anywhere. Cilan begins to worry, but he keeps a positive attitude and continues to work on the meal.

Trip begins to criticize Ash's choice of starting off with Snivy against his Servine and explains that Ash will never be a [[Pokémon Champion]] with strategies such as his. Ash assures that he is confident with his plan and that his Snivy is capable of defeating Trip's Servine once again. The battle begins with Trip's Servine using {{m|Leaf Tornado}} where Ash counters it by having his Snivy use {{m|Leaf Storm}}. The two attacks collide and Trip immediately orders his Servine to use {{m|Cut}}. Ash orders his Snivy to dodge and then  use {{m|Attract}}. Trip counters the hearts of the Attract attack by once again using Leaf Tornado, causing all of the hearts of the attack to vanish and render the Attract attack useless. Trip explains that he won't fall for the same strategy again and that he learned from his mistake last time. He then orders his Servine to once again use Cut. Ash orders his Snivy to Leaf Blade. However, Servine's Cut overpowers Snivy and causes Snivy to faint. This leaves Trip with one win.

Trip and Ash move onto round two of the battle, where Trip sends out a {{TP|Trip|Timburr}}. Ash pulls out his Pokédex and scans Timburr before sending out his {{AP|Oshawott}}. Oshawott then becomes scared when Timburr swings its lumber and tries to get [[Ash's Pikachu]] to battle instead. Ash explains to Oshawott that he thinks that he is very capable of winning the battle. Oshawott then becomes confident and ready to battle. Ash orders his Oshawott to use {{m|Aqua Jet}} and Trip orders his Timburr to use Strength to deflect the attack away. Ash's Oshawott then misses with Aqua Jet and Iris makes a remark about it. Trip asks if Ash is playing around because it's hard to tell. Ash states he is not and orders his Oshawott to try Aqua Jet again, but Oshawott still continues to miss and Trip takes pictures of it with his camera. Trip then shows Ash and Iris the pictures that he took and explains that Oshawott was using the attack with its eyes closed, which explains why it can't aim properly. Trip makes fun of Oshawott as "a Water Pokémon who can't open its eyes underwater". Ash and Trip then decide to continue their battle but without Oshawott using Aqua Jet.
