Both Ash and Drasna enter the battlefield as {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and [[Goh]] watch from the audience. Goh notes Drasna's pleasant smile, but Clemont assures him that it's just a facade. Bonnie can attest to that, since her big brother has actually faced Drasna in battle and was utterly defeated by her. Clemont, visibly embarrassed, tells his sister to not remind him of his disgrace. The {{DL|Battle judge|Drone Rotom}} gives the signal, and the competitors choose their first Pokémon: Sirfetch'd and {{p|Noivern}}. Drasna makes the first move by ordering a {{m|Super Fang}}, but Sirfetch'd uses its shield to block the [[Move|attack]] before striking back with {{m|Brutal Swing}}. Noivern follows up with a {{m|Boomburst}}, which is strong enough to send pieces of the battlefield flying. One of these pieces strikes the shield out of Sirfetch'd's grip, leaving it open for a {{m|Dragon Pulse}} as it tries to retrieve it. The Dragon Pulse also knocks Sirfetch'd's leek sword away, leaving it with nothing to defend itself with as another Boomburst batters the battlefield. The powerful sound waves send pieces of debris and Sirfetch'd's sword and shield flying, so Ash tells Sirfetch'd to use the debris as footing to retrieve its weapons. Sirfetch'd succeeds in this and launches into a {{m|Meteor Assault}} as Noivern starts charging for a Dragon Pulse. In a surprising move, Noivern uses its big wings to block the Meteor Assault before letting the Dragon Pulse loose and making a clean hit. | Both Ash and Drasna enter the battlefield as {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and [[Goh]] watch from the audience.

As Sirfetch'd is | As Sirfetch'd is [[Recharge|unable to move]] after using Meteor Assault, Ash decides to [[recall]] it and send out {{AP|Dracovish}} in its place. Noivern goes for a Super Fang, which Dracovish counters with {{m|Ice Fang}}. Both attacks hit their mark, cutting Dracovish's [[HP|stamina]] in half and dealing a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} hit on Noivern, forcing Drasna to make her own recall and send out Altaria. Similar to how it was [[JN103|attracted by Sirfetch'd's leek]], Dracovish now gets excited at seeing the swaying plumes on Altaria's head and charges forward without an attack command. While momentarily flustered, Ash decides to go with it and orders an Ice Fang, which, however, ends up being almost completely nullified by Altaria's {{m|Cotton Guard}}. Bonnie notes that Drasna's defensive strategies were also what doomed her big brother's match against her, a fact that Clemont pleads Bonnie not to remind him of. | ||
Drasna decides to unleash her full power and reveals the [[Key Stone]] on her wrist. Reacting with Altaria's [[Altarianite]], the Key Stone triggers the [[Mega Evolution]] process and turns Altaria into Mega Altaria. Drasna orders a {{m|Sky Attack}}, easily avoiding a {{m|Fishious Rend}} while the attack is charging and then outspeeding an Ice Fang to deal big [[damage]] on Dracovish, fully utilizing the increased speed and power provided by Mega Evolution. Altaria follows up with a {{m|Play Rough}}, and Dracovish is too mesmerized by the softness of Altaria's plumage to fight back. As Dracovish is freed from the attack, Ash's eyes focus on Altaria's plumes, giving him an idea. He has Dracovish drench Altaria with a powerful {{m|Water Gun}}, leaving its plumes soaking wet and canceling out an attempted Sky Attack. Seizing the chance, Ash tells Dracovish to attack with a {{m|Dragon Rush}}. Clemont tries to tell Ash to stop, but it's too late, and the attack goes off, only for it to do absolutely nothing. While Altaria shakes itself dry, Drasna reveals that Mega Evolution turns Altaria into a {{2t|Dragon|Fairy}} type, meaning that Dragon-type moves are now useless against it. | Drasna decides to unleash her full power and reveals the [[Key Stone]] on her wrist.
