Synopsis
Template:Incomplete synopsis
While walking in the middle of a corn field, Ash and his friends comes upon a Drilbur. Then, Pikachu points out to a Braviary. Cilan then suggests that the Braviary is watching them. Iris states that Cilan is over thinking things. Ash agrees and they begin to take a step, only to be interrupted by laughter.
Suddenly, two boys pop out, and challenge our heroes to a tag battle. Ash then accepts, but Cilan and Iris are reluctant. Cilan asks for the boys to introduce themselves,the two boys laugh, stating "You don't know who we are?! You're such a Drilbur!". 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 introduce themselves as Soran, the "sky warrior", and Riku, the "earth warrior".
After listening that Cilan is a gym leader,and Ash is a would-be competitor of the Unova league,they challenge them into a tag battle.Ash and Cilan respectively bring out their Unfezant and Crustle.Soran and Riku amaze them with their bedazzling combination moves,even Ash and Cilan are cornered.But the garland of victory awards the trainer-gymleader duo.After the loss,the brothers become crestfallen.Cilan introspects their pokèmon,and comes to the conclusion that they need to catch a water-type to gain mastery over the third aspect of the nature that comes after land and sky.First they spot out a male and a female Frillish,but fail to catch either of them because of meaningless bickerings.Then they seek out a Corphish and a Buizel,and using some perfect move-combinations,they taste the fruit of success.Ash and the gang congratulate them and part ways on good terms.
