Ash races to the arena to get a closer look at the competition while Brock fills Dawn in about the PokéRinger competition. Yanmega gets the ring first, dodges the Wingull, and places it on the goal, winning the match. Yanmega's {{pkmn|Trainer}} is actually [[James]] as he snubs his practice partner before walking away. Ash and his friends meet up with James, which spooks him at first. [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} watch from a distance as James maintains his disguise and tells them about the upcoming PokéRinger competition. Piplup wants to participate, but has forgotten that his evolutionary line can't fly. Ash decides to sign up with {{p|Staravia}}.

Fireworks start as the competition prepares to get underway, Dawn noticing the crowd size. Brock points out that the winner is made an honorary citizen of the town while Ash mentions the second prize of a large amount of [[Pokémon food]]. Jessie is doubtful about lending Yanmega to James, but he is confident at participating. {{si|Rhonda}} of [[Sinnoh Now]] covers the event with her crew as {{si|Jack}}'s boom hits her as usual. She mentions that the battles are single-elimination.

She mentions that the battles are single-elimination.  


The first match starts with Ash against {{OBP|Taylor|DP118}}. Dawn and Brock watch from the stands as the ring balloon is deployed, as well as Ash and Taylor's balloons to the set elevation. The round starts as Ash sends out Staravia while Taylor summons {{p|Skarmory}}. Both race to the ring as Staravia gets it first, racing to the goal. Skarmory fires {{m|Swift}}, which hits and causes Staravia to drop the ring. Skarmory steals it and goes for the goal as Staravia tries to catch up. Skarmory turns around and executes a {{m|Fury Attack}}. Staravia dodges continually, eventually causing Skarmory to drop the ring, allowing Staravia to steal and bolt. Skarmory gets ahead and uses {{m|Sand-Attack}} to blind Staravia before launching {{m|Air Cutter}}. Staravia is unable to dodge, but a wind gust pushes him out of the way. Staravia recovers as another Air Cutter heads towards it. Staravia gets closer before using {{m|Aerial Ace}} to dodge and race to the goal, planting the ring and giving Ash the first win. Ash congratulates his Pokémon.
