The preliminaries of the Unova League continue and the battle between Ash and Trip is unbelievably tense. With Serperior constantly evading Pikachu's attacks, Ash soon finds that he may be out of the tournament earlier than he thought. Will Ash manage to get through Serperior's defences and win? In the other side of the Unova League, Kotetsu and Bianca start a battle. Using Samurott against Escavalier, the battle gets even more tense than before when Samurott's attacks seem to do no damage on Escavalier. Who will win the battles and get through to the finals?
