While {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are on their way to the [[Clubsplosion]] tournament accompanied by [[Stephan]], Ash asked Stephan what kind of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s enter the Clubsplosion. Stephan replied by saying only Trainers who take pride and have heated battles participate in the Clubsplosion. Ash states that would be great training for his seventh Gym match so he decides to enter. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} then say they want to enter as well. Suddenly, {{an|Bianca}} comes into the scene knocking Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} into a canal before coming to a stop on Stephan's chest. Cilan dries Pikachu while Ash dries himself which the two aren't so happy about. Bianca apologized and says she was in a hurry to sign up for the Clubsplosion. Ash tells Bianca they were just on their way to the Clubsplosion as well and all five Trainers head to the stadium where it is being held. There, they run into Ash's other rival, [[Trip]]. Bianca eagerly asks what kind of Pokémon he will enter with and he sends out {{TP|Trip|Conkeldurr}}. After scanning it with the Pokédex, Ash concludes that Trip must have [[Evolution|evolved]] {{p|Gurdurr}} since he last saw it during the [[Club Battle]].

Stephan states that many Trainers enter the Clubsplosion with {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon due to their intense passion for combat. Ash seems surprised and Trip begins taunting him for not knowing that. When Ash tries to confront him, Conkeldurr gets in his way. Trip returns Conkeldurr to its [[Poké Ball]] then leaves the group before Iris remarks what a kid he is. Stephan announces he plans to use {{TP|Stephan|Sawk}} and asks Ash what he plans to use. After thinking about it for a moment, he decides to enter with this own Fighting type, {{AP|Scraggy}}. Moments later, Cilan and Stephan hear a familiar voice from behind and turn to see [[Burgundy]]. Cilan looks pleasantly surprised to see her and asks if she'll be entering the Clubsplosion as well. She says yes and also says that as a {{pkmn|Connaisseuse}} she will battle and win against him this time. Cilan then asks if she manage to increase her level and she replies glumly that she's still a C-class. She goes on the defensive saying that she was too busy with training to study for another Connoisseur's test. Cilan says that it's a shame which only angers Burgundy causing her to stick her tongue out at him before leaving. Iris, Ash, and Bianca too hear a familiar voice and look up to see Iris's {{t|Dragon}} Buster rival, [[Georgia]]. She knew that Iris would want to participate in the Clubsplosion which is why she entered herself earlier so she could defeat her. The two then get into a petty argument before Georgia breaks it off and leaves the scene, vowing that she'd show Iris what a real Dragon Buster can do. Iris only refers to her as another pain but Cilan thinks the mixture of different personalities makes for a good flavor. Ash also says that things will be interesting from here on out.

Soon the Clubsplosion opens up and the participants all gather in the stadium. [[Freddy O'Martian]] welcomes everyone and introduces the manager of the [[Battle Club]], [[Don George]]. Don George then explains that the winner of the Clubsplosion will receive a year's supply of [[Vitamin]]s, containing [[HP Up]], [[Calcium]], [[Zinc]], [[Carbos]], [[Protein]], and [[Iron]]. He then gives words of encouragement before opening the Clubsplosion officially. Freddy O'Martian calls for everyone's attention to the screen then announces the first round match-ups. They are Stephan and [[Edmund]] first, [[Flora]] and Cilan second, [[Angus]] and Ash third, Burgundy and Iris fourth, [[Betty]] and [[Getty]] fifth, [[Gail]] and Georgia sixth, [[Montgomery]] and [[Delbert]] seventh, and Trip and Bianca being the final match.  

After Freddy O'Martian announces he will give live coverage of the battles while Don George will commentate, the first battle gets underway; the gloomy rain man named Edmund and the brawny young man who loves heated battles named Stephan. However Stephan is annoyed that Freddy and the audience are pronouncing his name incorrectly. Suddenly, dark clouds appear in the sky and rain begins to fall. Edmund's frown turns into a smile while Freddy announces that it is known to rain every time Edmund battles. Stephan is the first to send out his Pokémon for the tournament, Sawk. Upon his appearance, Montgomery takes notice immediately. Next Edmund sends out his Pokémon, {{p|Seismitoad}}. The referee signals for the battle to start and Stephan is the first to make a move. He commands Sawk to start with {{m|Karate Chop}}. However, Seismitoad quickly dodges the attack. In an unsettling tone, Edmund explains that Seismitoad's Ability is {{a|Swift Swim}} which increases its speed when it rains. He then commands Seismitoad to use {{m|Drain Punch}} which hits Sawk in the face dead on before he has a chance to dodge it. Sawk is sent flying and crashes along the field but quickly recovers. In order to slow Seismitoad down, Stephan tells Sawk to use {{m|Low Sweep}}. But first he has to dodge a barrage of {{m|Mud Shot}} attacks coming from his opponent. He is successful and lands his Low Sweep right on Seismitoad's left leg, causing it to cry out in pain. Afterwards Edmund tells Seismitoad to attack with {{m|Brick Break}} and it slams its arm right into Sawk's gut which he also recovers quickly from. The two Pokémon then become locked in combat using Karate Chop and Brick Break on one another. However Edmund notices that Seismitoad is moving slower than usual and asks what's wrong. That's when he finally notices the wound on its leg caused by Sawk's Low Sweep. Before he can do anything about it, Stephan decides to wrap up the battle and tells Sawk to use {{m|Bulk Up}} followed by {{m|Close Combat}}. Seismitoad remains standing after the attack but falls down unable to battle seconds later. Sawk appears triumphant and the clouds in the sky disappear letting the sun shine through. Stephan is declared the winner and the entire audience begins cheering for him, pronouncing his name incorrectly of course, causing him to yell out that they are pronouncing it wrong.
