Continuing the full battle from the previous episode, Katie has seemingly backed Ash into a corner and now has four Pokémon remaining to Ash's three. Fortunately, after the intermission and the field change, Ash gains momentum and pulls ahead, eventually winning the battle. Unfortunately, he finds out that his next opponent is his buddy Morrison. Ash simply wants them both to give it their all, but Morrison is reluctant about battling a friend and this holds him back in their battle, to Ash's frustration. Will Morrison snap out of it and give Ash the good battle that they both want?
