==Synopsis==
Combusken aggravates the already hostile conflict between Severiper and Zangoose.
==Summary==
As usual, Justin engages in a battle against passing trainer, today Kindler Bernie in a two-on-two. Justin enlists Plusle and Combusken for the battle against Bernie's Wingull and Magcargo. Plustle overcomes wingull and loses to Magnargo, but Combusken seals the win for Justin.
Combusken is overly boastful and proud in her victory, extending from defeating two Glalie the other day. While, Combusken's pride does not result in overt disobedience, she is far more aggressive than necessary and would prefer to endure attacks than dodge them.
When Justin and Rachel come across a pair of trainers, Tyra and Ivy, Justin passes on the battle and instead encourages Rachel to battle. In a double battle, Rachel chooses her new Jigglypuff and Minun against Graveler and Roselia.
Combusken is upset being denied a battle and wanders off to fight wild Pokemon on her own. Mudkip follows behind out of concern for his friend. Combusken wanders into territory filled with Seviper while a researcher is observing the on top of a Rhyhorn. Combusken defeats two Seviper and confidently walks toward a herd of Zangoose and defeats them as well.
Between the two tribes, Combusken steals their berries and shares them with a concerned Mudkip. Meanwhile, Rachel narrowly defeats Tyra and Ivy to due her reliance on Minun's Encore and Jigglypuff's Gyro Ball.
Justin and Rachel knew Combusken and Mudkip were gone but are concerned they have not returned. Tyra and Ivy advise they retrieve their Pokemon quickly as there are Seviper and Zangoose lurking. Ivy explains that Zangoose and Seviper are natural enemies. Zangoose often steal Seviper eggs for food. Seviper, in turn, have eaten Zangoose whole. Every time they see each other, they battle until exhaustion.
Rachel is mad at Justin for his policy of allowing their Pokemon to wander because her Mudkip could be eaten. Justin insists his Pokemon have always had a buddy system of sorts, so it often works out. Luckily, all Pokemon are marked with trackers upon capture. He adds Combusken and Mudkip would never abandon the other.
The herd of Seviper and Zangoose learn of Combusken's attack and both sides seek out the Young Fowl Pokemon, who is happily full from eating. Once they are found, the Zangoose and Seviper attack, but Mudkip summons a wall with Water Pledge to temporarily defend them. Combusken welcomes the challenge of all the Pokemon, but Zangoose and Seviper all begin viciously battling each other. Combusken joins in the fray, battling indiscriminately, but Mudkip shies away from the conflict
Justin and Rachel soon arrive on the scene, and Rachel is furious to see her Mudkip defenseless. The researcher's Rhyhorn burrows through the horse of angry Pokemon with Drill Run. Rachel then saves her Mudkip. Steve emerges and explains what happened. He explains he is a researcher of Pokemon interactions.
When learning Combusken escalated the conflict, he calls on Kirlia to apprehend Combusken in sleep so Justin can recall her. Rachel then uses Jifflypuff's Sing, enhanced by Minun's Helping Hand to put the attacking Pokemon to sleep. Jigglypuff, Kirlia, Plusle, and Minun then aid putting the Pokemon back in their respective territories. Though everything works out, Rachel rages at Justin to control Combusken.
