{{Ash}}, eager to extend his [[World Coronation Series]] winning streak, has traveled to the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]] to challenge the [[Koichi|Karate Master]]. However, while his {{AP|Riolu}} is sparring with the dojo's other Pokémon, Ash is informed that the Karate Master is currently in the middle of another {{pkmn|battle}}. Meanwhile, [[Goh]] has trouble choosing whether he'd want a {{p|Hitmonchan}} or a {{p|Hitmonlee}} from the dojo, as he's only allowed to choose one. Suddenly, Ash's [[Rotom Phone]] alerts him of the presence of another World Coronation Series participant, and he realizes that the person must be inside the dojo. However, just as Ash is about to enter, a [[fainting|fainted]] Hitmonchan flies through the doorway and lands on top of Ash. The Hitmonchan turns out to belong to the Karate Master, who's just been defeated by his challenger. The other {{tc|Black Belt}}s present express their amazement towards the strength of the challenger's {{p|Grapploct}}, a Pokémon that Ash hasn't heard of before. | {{Ash}}, eager to extend his [[World Coronation Series]] winning streak, has traveled to the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]] to challenge the [[Koichi|Karate Master]].

Just then, the challenger's Rotom Phone informs her of Ash's presence, and Ash eagerly issues a challenge for an official World Coronation Series battle, which is accepted. Ash's opponent introduces herself as [[Bea]] from [[Galar]] and requests to use the dojo as a battlefield, which the Karate Master agrees to. Goh asks if he can receive a Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee from here, which the Karate Master confirms, but Goh is surprised to learn that he must defeat the Karate Master to do so. However, Ash and Bea's battle comes first.

The Karate Master tells Ash and Goh that Bea is a {{type|Fighting}} [[Gym Leader]] from Galar and a master of Galar Karate who travels the {{pkmn|world}} to challenge dojos in her pursuit of greater strength. | ||
Goh takes note of the fact that Bea's ranking of 751 is notably higher than Ash's 890. Ash, however, is not worried, as he's won his every World Coronation Series match so far. Facing a Fighting-type Gym Leader reminds Ash of how he beat {{an|Korrina}} [[JN025|the other day]]. To Ash's surprise, Bea recognizes the name and mentions she has both battled and beat Korrina as well. She calls her entirely too overconfident, and refuses to elaborate on what she means, irritating Ash. She asks why Ash signed up for the competition, and Ash says that he's aiming to battle {{an|Leon}}, which Bea is also aiming for. | Goh takes note of the fact that Bea's ranking of 751 is notably higher than Ash's 890.

Ash gets an idea and tells Riolu to use Force Palm below of its feet, sending out a cluster of floor pieces to distract Grapploct. However, when Riolu tries to charge in with another Force Palm while Grapploct's back is turned, the tentacle around its waist snatches it from mid-air. Grapploct ensnares Riolu's body and arms in a tight {{m|Octolock}}, with Bea criticizing that Ash's strategy has too many wasted movements. Ash notices that Riolu's legs are still free, and has it use them to jump, genuinely surprising Bea for the first time. Riolu jumps upwards and turns around mid-air, causing Grapploct to hit the ground first and unintentionally release its grip from Riolu. | Ash gets an idea and tells Riolu to use Force Palm below of its feet, sending out a cluster of floor pieces to distract Grapploct.

Grapploct next uses Liquidation, which Riolu counters with {{m|Reversal}}, a move that grows in power the more damage the user has taken. The two attacks clash and push both Pokémon back, but as Riolu falls on its knee from exhaustion, Grapploct charges in and ensnares Riolu in another Octolock, this time making sure to bind its legs as well. Bea tells Ash to surrender, but Ash refuses to give up. | Grapploct next uses Liquidation, which Riolu counters with {{m|Reversal}}, a move that grows in power the more damage the user has taken.

Bea tells Ash to surrender, but Ash refuses to give up. As such, Bea has Grapploct use a close-range Liquidation, defeating Riolu and granting Bea a near-flawless victory. Ash is crushed by his clear loss, and as his ranking drops to 930, Bea leaves the dojo after thanking the Karate Master for letting them use it. Next up, the Karate Master addresses Goh, reminding him that now it's his turn to battle him. | ||
Later, Ash's Farfetch'd and Riolu are healed at the [[Pokémon Center]], and Goh shows off the {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Hitmonchan}} he managed to win for himself. Ash apologizes to his Pokémon for letting them down, and swears that he will have [[JN039|his revenge match against Bea]]. | Later, Ash's Farfetch'd and Riolu are healed at the [[Pokémon Center]], and Goh shows off the {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Hitmonchan}} he managed to win for himself.
