After their adventures in [[Twist Mountain]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} decide to stay at [[Don George]]'s [[Battle Club]] in [[Astilbe Town]] for the night. Before reaching their room, the group comes across a [[Double Battle]] being held in one of the Club's rooms between a Trainer's {{p|Watchog}} and {{p|Mienshao}} and another Trainer's {{p|Heatmor}} and {{p|Emboar}}. Ash finds out more about Heatmor on his [[Pokédex]]. Mienshao uses {{m|Drain Punch}} on Heatmor and Watchog lifts and {{m|Slam}}s Emboar onto the ground. The other Trainer declares that he will show everyone the true power of the "{{t|Fire}} Warriors" and orders Emboar to use {{m|Hammer Arm}} on both opponents and for Heatmor to do the same with {{m|Flame Burst}}. Flame Burst creates a fiery explosion and knocks out both of the opponent's Pokémon, winning the battle for the Fire Trainer, whose name is [[Shamus]]. | After their adventures in [[Twist Mountain]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} decide to stay at [[Don George]]'s [[Battle Club]] in [[Astilbe Town]] for the night.

Later that night, Tepig goes outside on his own to think. He has a flashback of when Shamus abandoned him and begins to tear up as he remembers being tied up. Ash's voice calls out for Tepig, and so he shakes away the tears. The rest of the group, including Snivy, come around a corner and say that they have been looking for Tepig. Ash tells Tepig that he and Snivy want to train, but sighs and lowers his head. Cilan says that Tepig may not want to battle his former Trainer, prompting Iris to tell Tepig, "There's such a thing as being too nice." Snivy goes up to Tepig and slaps him with {{m|Vine Whip}} and begins to talk passionately. Tepig then agrees to battle. | Later that night, Tepig goes outside on his own to think.

The next morning, the battle between Shamus and Ash is about to begin. Though Snivy is ready, Tepig still appears downtrodden. Ash commands Snivy to use {{m|Leaf Storm}} on Emboar, but it dodges. Ash tells Tepig to use {{m|Flamethrower}} on Heatmor, but Tepig can neither bring himself to battle nor dodge a Hammer Arm from Emboar. Ash tells Tepig that he understands how he feels. Shamus chuckles and says that he pretends to be sad and on the verge of tears whenever he abandons a Pokémon to make it think that he actually cares, all so that it follow him. Upon hearing this Tepig becomes immobilized by sadness and mentally breaks down. Snivy tries to help Tepig, but it is no use. Realizing this, Ash asks Snivy to cover for Tepig. Snivy uses {{m|Attract}} on Emboar, leaving him helpless to avoid Vine Whip. Shamus snaps Emboar out of it by having Heatmor use {{m|Fury Swipes}} on its teammate.

Snivy uses {{m|Attract}} on Emboar, leaving him helpless to avoid Vine Whip. Shamus snaps Emboar out of it by having Heatmor use {{m|Fury Swipes}} on its teammate. Emboar recovers from the {{status|infatuation}} and uses Flamethrower while Heatmor uses {{m|Fire Spin}}. Snivy dodges, but the two attacks hit Tepig. Then Snivy is struck by Heatmor's Fury Swipes and Emboar's {{m|Heat Crash}}. Snivy eventually manages to get back up and tries to get Tepig to battle along with Ash. Finally, Tepig decides to battle. Tepig uses {{m|Flame Charge}}, hitting both Heatmor and Emboar, but Shamus is not impressed. Both Emboar and Heatmor get back up and use {{m|Flare Blitz}} Fire Spin, respectively. Emboar launches forward, enveloped in blue flame, and is boosted by the Fire Spin spiraling around him. Impressed by the technique, Cilan calls this the "Super Flare Blitz." Tepig is about to be hit by the powered-up attack, but Snivy pushes him out of the way and takes the blow, knocking her out. Ash thanks her and says that she deserves a good rest, but she wants to stay and watch her teammate battle. Seeing everyone encouraging him, including Snivy, Tepig teems with the determination and begins to glow. Because of his friends love and support, Tepig [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Pignite}}. Despite this, Shamus says that Pignite still has no chance of winning. Ash commands Pignite to use his new move, {{m|Fire Pledge}}. Pignite strikes the ground, sending a pillar of fire that engulfs both Emboar and Heatmor. Ash tells Pignite to finish with Flame Charge, knocking Shamus's Pokémon out and winning the battle for Ash. Everyone congratulates Pignite as he and Ash hug, with Snivy in Ash's arms. Given his victory, Cilan reaches the verdict that Ash was right. After recalling his Pokémon, Shamus walks over to Pignite and apologizes for what he did. He asks Pignite to ditch Ash and come back to his team, which makes Pignite smile with excitement. Pignite stares at his former trainer for a moment before using Flamethrower on him, charring him and turning his hair into an afro. Ash tells Shamus that Pignite is "one of the gang" and isn't going anywhere. Shamus runs away saying "I'll remember this!" The episode ends with everyone gathering around Pignite, celebrating his victory, evolution, and overcoming of his past. The group now resumes their journey towards Icirrus City. | ||
