Ash's quarter final battle against Cameron continues. With Cameron's Riolu having just evolved, Ash faces a tougher challenge than he thought he would when his Snivy faints. Having to rely on Pikachu, who is tired after already defeating two Pokémon in the battle, Ash faces the battle of his Unova League career. Lucario and Pikachu keep their fast attacks, but Ash decides to come up with a new strategy in order to try and win. Who will win the battle and get to the semi-finals of the tournament?

Heading towards the White Ruins to help Cedric Juniper with research into Reshiram, Ash & Co. meet up with the trainer, N. Upon conversing with him, they learn that N has some strong ideals and believes that you should not battle with Pokémon, merely become friends with them. However, Team Rocket soon appear, using their new strategies to easily take out the Pokémon. Will N be able to help stop them?
