<-- While walking in the middle of a corn field, the gang comes upon a Drilbur. Then, Pikachu points out a Braviary. Cilan then suggests that Braviary is watching them. Iris states that Cilan is overthinking things. Ash agrees and they begin to take a step, only to be interrupted by laughing. Suddenly,Soran and Riku pop out, and challenge our heroes to a tag battle. Ash then accepts, but Cilan and Iris are reluctant. Cilan askes for the boys to introduce themselves, and Soran and Riku laugh, stating "You don't know who we are?! Your such a Drilbur!" (this is a pun on the Japanese word for being "in the shadows, or simply, unknowledgeable, and how its sounds similar to Drilbur's Japanese name,Mogurew).The boys ask why Ash, Iris and, Cilan aren't laughing, and they assume their gag was too perfect, so it was too funny. The two boys intosuce themselves and Soran,The sky warrior, and Riku,the earth warrior.
