==Synopsis==
Justin and his friends compete in a Battle Tent competition.
==Summary==
Justin, Rachel, and Evyr have come to compete in the Battle Tent. They are joined by Leader Flannery and twelve other trainers who have registered for the three-day sixteen-man tournament.
The tournament soon begins, and the competitors are introduced to a large crowd for the event. The participants are reminded of the rules of each battle being held as a 1-on-1, 2-on-2, double, or 3-on-3, battle. The tourney tree is made, and the competition begins.
Justin has registered Eevee, Combusken, and Kirlia for the competition. His first round is a 2-on-2 battle, and competes with Combusken and Kirlia who guide Justin to a clean victory. 
Rachel's opening battle is a 1-on-1 battle, and battles with Minun whose restricting Encore wins Rachel the opening round. Evyr has a 2-on-2 battle but only needs Baltoy, whose Contest-expertise proves exceptional. Flannery also advances to the second round with her powerful Camerupt in a 1-on-1 battle. 
On the second day of competition, Justin and Evyr are slated against each other in a 3-on-3 battle. Justin calls on Kirlia to battle first while Evyr chooses her newest Pokemon, a Trapinch. Trapinch uses Dig to dodge all of Kirlia's attacks and strike, and Kirlia has no means of attacking underground. Justin plans to recall Kirlia, but Trapinch possesses the Arena Trap ability that prevents escape. Trapinch sinks Kirlia with Sand Tomb and defeats him with Crunch.
Justin sends Eevee to battle second. Eevee is light on his feet, allowing him dodge Trapinch's attempts to trap him with Sand Tomb. Trapinch uses Crunch, but Eevee dodges with Quick Attack and quickly adjusts to turns and strike Trapinch twice. Trapinch burrows with Dig, and Justin has Eevee slam the ground with Iron Tail to force Trapinch out of the earth and deliver damage. Eevee then rams Trapinch with Quick Attack to level the round.
Evyr sends Baltoy into battle as her second Pokemon. Baltoy fires a Psybeam, which Eevee blocks by smashing the ground with Iron Tail, causing the ground to burst up and absorb the attack. Eevee then dashes into Quick Attack. Batloy uses Rapid Spin to deflect Eevee. Eevee quickly regains position to overpower Baltoy's Rapid Spin with Iron Tail to send it flying back, but Baltoy levitates to stop from crashing. It then uses Rock Tomb, sandwiching Eevee in rocks. Baltoy fires a Psybeam that explodes on Eevee and destroys the trapping rocks. A smoky cover emerges and Eevee takes advantage by surprising Baltoy with blasts of Shadow Ball. Eevee and Baltoy collide between Iron Tail and Rapid Spin, and Eevee overpowers Baltoy again to win the battle. 
Roselia is Evyr's final Pokemon. Roselia immediately sprays the field in a Stun Spore, so Eevee is paralyzed. Eevee is then consumed in a Petal Blizzard. Justin tells Eevee not to resist, and he is taken into the air by the storm. Eevee then comes crashing down with Iron Tail. Roselia dodges in time but Eevee blasts it with Shadow Ball. Justin orders another Shadow Ball, but Eevee is hindered by paralysis. Roselia takes the chance to glow and heal with Synthesis. Roselia follows with Giga Drain. Eevee dodges with Double Team, and Roselia destroys the clones with Petal Blizzard. The real Eevee is exposed, and Roselia lands Giga Drain. Eevee uses the connection to pellet Roselia with Shadow Balls. This distracts Roselia enough to break free, and Eevee lands a massive Iron Tail that sends it crashing into the wall, unable to battle. 
Justin's brave Eevee wins him the battle and advances Justin to the semifinals. Justin and Evyr shake hands on an exceptional battle. 
Rachel advances to the semifinals with Mudkip and Minun in a double battle.  Flannery advance to the semifinals as well with Magcargo and Camerupt in a 2-on-2 battle. 
On the third day of competition, Rachel is slated to face Flannery in the semifinals in a 2-on-2 battle. She opens the battle with Mudkip while Flannery chooses Torkoal, her signature and strongest Pokemon. Torkoal ensures an opening Water Gun to set up a Sunny Day, which will decrease the power of Water moves. Flannery recalls Torkoal for Magcargo. Magcargo blasts Mudkip with Solar Beam. Mudkip tries to defend with Water Pledge, but the move is weakened due to Sunny Day. Mudkip is immediately taken out of the battle.
Rachel's second Pokemon is Jigglypuff.
