Synopsis

While on the way to Daybreak Town, Ash and friends seem to be completely lost, so Ash sends out Gliscor in order to check out the surrounding area. Along the way, they see a battle between a Chimecho and a Scizor. After the battle is over, they are introduced to the Air Battle Master, McCann, and his granddaughter Maya. The Scizor turned out to be McCann's and was helping the Chimecho, which belongs to Maya. After hearing about McCann's strength and skill as an air battle master, Ash decides to have an air battle with him: Scizor vs Gliscor. Ash wanted to test Gliscor's flying abilities and fought a one-on-one battle against Scizor.

Gliscor starts with a Steel Wing but Scizor quickly dodges. Then Scizor hits Gliscor with Metal Claw. As Gliscor is falling, Ash orders him to use the currents in order to regain its position. Then, Scizor hits it with a Double Hit. Gliscor tries a Sand-Attack but it's blocked by the currents. Scizor then hits Gliscor with a Metal Claw followed by a Double Hit. After it gets back in the match, Gliscor proceeds with a Fire Fang but Scizor avoids its attack by using Double Team. Then it tries a Steel Wing but Scizor dodges its attack again.

The scene turns for a short time to Team Rocket in their balloon who are searching for the twerps. Being inattentive their balloon hits a branch which makes it blow up and sends them blasting off.

The scene turns back to the two Pokémon's battle. Scizor hits Gliscor with a Hyper Beam and Gliscor tries to come back with a Fire Fang but is unable to do so as Scizor used the currents to climb higher thus avoiding any possible attacks. Then he comes down on Gliscor making a skip dive hitting it with Double Hit and knocking it out. After the battle, Scizor is victorious, with Gliscor feeling terrible and ashamed. Then, McCann gives Ash some advice about how to "read" the wind. Then he offers the group to stay over for the night.

As the day went on, Gliscor was feeling bad; refusing to eat and not wanting to get into its Poké Ball. That night, when the group is sleeping, Pikachu wakes up and goes out where Gliscor is gazing at the moon. He tries to cheer it up while Ash shows up who also couldn't sleep feeling bad about his loss. Then he suggests doing some late training and trying to read the wind. Ash has Staraptor fly around with a rope tied to it so Gliscor can follow the wind pattern and how Staraptor flies.

Dawn wakes up and comes to help Ash train by giving him some shredded tin foil. She explains that if it is thrown in the wind, they can see the wind's direction and help Gliscor glide much better. So they release it into the wind. The tin foil pieces blow with the wind so Gliscor can see what direction the wind is going and follow it.

While training, Gliscor has a little run-in with Team Rocket and explains to Meowth that it's training so that it can defeat McCann's Scizor in a rematch tomorrow. Team Rocket's balloon is then blown away by the winds as they recite their motto. Scizor proceeds with its training continuing to follow the tin foil as the sun rises. The next morning, Dawn informs McCann that they have been training all night, trying to read the wind and Ash challenges him to another air-battle. McCann thinks about his offer, while Maya convinces him to accept.

The battle begins and Scizor flies around using the currents. Gliscor successfully follows it trying to hit it with an X-Scissor but with little success. Then Scizor comes behind Gliscor trying to land a Metal Claw which Scizor dodges. McCann acts surprised seeing it do so. Then he orders Scizor to use Double Hit. Gliscor uses the currents to climb but Scizor manages to land a hit on it. Gliscor quickly counters with a Sand-Attack landing a hit on its opponent.

Gliscor then hits Scizor with a Fire Fang which in turn hits it with a Double Hit. Gliscor uses Fire Fang again while Scizor tries to avoid it by using Double Team, but with no chance of success. Towards the end of an epic battle when things started to get shaky, Ash tells Gliscor to dig deep and encourages it to never give up. With that in mind, Gliscor begins to charge towards Scizor, and uses Giga Impact, revealing to have learned a new move. Then it climbs higher using the same strategy Scizor used in the previous battle to avoid damage while it recharges.

Then it uses X-Scissor but Scizor's Metal Claw hits faster than Gliscor's attack. Ash orders Gliscor to use Giga Impact but Scizor hits it with a Hyper Beam before Gliscor is able to react. After an intense shot from Scizor's attack, Gliscor plummets to the ground, losing for a second time. Ash comes to Gliscor revealing that even though they lost, he has really improved and learned a new move doing it.

McCann sees Gliscor's potential and suggests Ash to leave Gliscor to stay and train. McCann includes how it was like the day that he first met his Scizor, so Ash leaves the decision to Gliscor, and it accepts and Ash does as well. Ash give McCann Gliscor's Poké Ball and says good-bye to the Fang Scorp Pokemon. In the distance, Team Rocket is there spying on them feeling sad to see Gliscor leave.

The scene then cuts with the narrator's conclusion.
