Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is being dragged along by Malva, who is constantly busy conducting interviews. As a result, the trio is completely unable to focus on their own plans to steal any Pokémon.

Back at the arena, Remo is revealed to have become the third semifinalist, just as {{an|Shauna}} arrives. She is warmly welcomed by the group and updated on the current League happenings. On the field, Tierno and Sawyer emerge for their battle, and Sawyer chooses {{p|Aegislash}} to start, which Ash scans with his [[Pokédex]]. Tierno sends out {{p|Ludicolo}} and shows off some perfectly synchronized dance steps with it. The match is begun, and Ludicolo starts off with {{m|Rain Dance}}, creating swirling thunder clouds over the battlefield that start a heavy downpour. Sawyer orders a {{m|Swords Dance}}, sharply raising Aegislash's {{stat|Attack}}.

Sawyer orders a {{m|Swords Dance}}, sharply increasing Aegislash's {{stat|Attack}} power.


Tierno calls out for a {{m|Hydro Pump}}, which Aegislash is unable to dodge. Sawyer correctly deduces that the rain has powered up both Ludicolo's speed, thanks to its {{a|Swift Swim}} Ability, as well as its {{type|Water}} attacks. However, after taking another Hydro Pump, Aegislash counters the next with {{m|King's Shield}}, {{a|Stance Change|transforming}} into its Shield form.

Tierno orders another Hydro Pump, but this time Aegislash cuts through it with a powerful {{m|Sacred Sword}} that sends Ludicolo flying. While Ludicolo is reeling, Sawyer orders another Swords Dance. Ludicolo tries to execute {{m|Solar Beam}}, but Aegislash uses Sacred Sword again to tear through it, connecting with Ludicolo and knocking it out. As Tierno thanks Ludicolo for his hard work, he sends out {{p|Raichu}} next. Raichu's opening {{m|Charge Beam}} is blocked by Aegislash's King's Shield, but she manages to burrow into the earth with {{m|Dig}} to evade Aegislash's followup {{m|Slash}}. Raichu takes advantage of the opening while Aegislash has lost sight of him to complete the attack and knock Aegislash out.

Down to his final Pokémon, Sawyer sends out his {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}}. Tierno orders {{m|Ice Beam}}, which Sceptile intercepts with a {{m|Leaf Storm}}. Blastoise tries to execute another Hydro Cannon, but Sceptile dodges it and lands a {{m|Leaf Blade}} in return. On Tierno's order, Blastoise charges towards Sceptile with {{m|Skull Bash}}, but Sawyer commands Sceptile to intercept it with {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. Enormous whip-like vines emerge from the field and toss Blastoise into the sky. As he falls, Blastoise manages to summon the thunderclouds with Rain Dance again, but upon impacting the ground, it is knocked out.

Tierno summons his last Pokémon, a now battle-ready Raichu. Ash worries that Sceptile is still the more powerful Pokémon, but when Tierno orders a {{m|Thunder}}, Clemont realizes that Blastoise's parting Rain Dance will ensure that Raichu's {{type|Electric}} attacks don't miss. Before Raichu can release her Thunder, however, Sawyer reveals his secret weapon and uses his [[Key Stone]] to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] Sceptile. Refusing to be daunted, Tierno orders Raichu to complete her attack, but to Tierno's great surprise, Mega Sceptile comes through it completely unscathed. Sawyer reveals that, as a result of Mega Evolving, Mega Sceptile's Ability is now {{a|Lightning Rod}}, rendering Thunder useless. Mega Sceptile charges towards Raichu with a {{m|Dragon Claw}}, and Raichu tries to counter with {{m|Focus Blast}}, but Mega Sceptile slashes through the attack and lands the blow on Raichu, knocking her unconscious and winning the battle for Sawyer, making him the fourth and final semifinalist.

With the semifinalists decided, the announcer reveals the semifinal match-ups, which will pit Alain against Remo and Ash against Sawyer. As the sun sets, Ash exits the arena with his friends, who remind him that the semifinal battle will require a full team of six Pokémon, when he currently only has five. At this reminder, Ash panics about the time and runs off to a street outside where he comments that he's expecting someone. The others are confused, but a honking truck soon draws their attention. Turning towards the sound, they spot {{AP|Goodra}}, previously left at its home swamp, riding in the bed of a truck being driven by [[Keanan]]. In a flashback, it is revealed that during his latest visit to the wetlands, Ash had requested Goodra's assistance for the league's semifinals, and it agreed. With his team now complete, Ash summons them all before him to declare his confidence in them and vow to beat Sawyer with their help, and the whole team cheers in agreement.

* In the original version, {{an|Clemont}} says that {{type|Electric}} [[move]]s can never miss in the [[rain]], which is incorrect, as this only applies to the move {{m|Thunder}}.
* The {{pkmn|Trainer}} with the {{p|Amoonguss}}, who was seen battling [[Astrid]] in the beginning of the episode, is the same Trainer {{an|Tierno}} had to face in the first round. Since Tierno had made it to the quarterfinals and thus had defeated this Trainer, it should have been impossible for Astrid to face her in the league.

* When Astrid tells her {{p|Absol}} to use {{m|Psycho Cut}}, it is shown as a regular Absol, but seconds later, when {{AP|Hawlucha}} attacks it, it is shown as a [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Absol. This is likely due to the fact that the animation in the shot where Astrid tells her Absol to attack was taken directly from ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', where Absol was in its regular form while using the move.

However, Tierno's {{p|Raichu}}, who had just been affected by Attract, has the pointed tail indicative of male Raichu. This was fixed in the Japanese version on Hulu, where Raichu has it's female tail variant.
