The episode spans to Justin commands Plusle and Eevee against Julia, who commands Ninetales and Tropius in a Sunny Day strategy. Plusle and Eevee dominate the battle using their small bodies and speed to their advantage. Plusle keeps enhancing Eevee's moves with Helping Hand. When Eevee has used three of his four moves, he defeats Ninetales and Tropius with two blasts of Last Resort.
Andrew faces Quincy who uses what seems like an odd combination of Dusclops and Slaking, but Ducslops knows Skll Swap, which it uses to take away Slaking's Truant ability. Nevertheless, Andrew commands an easy victory with Breloom and Crawdaunt as Breloom puts Slaking and Dusclops to sleep with Spore before both delivery super-effective attacks. 
Connor and Monica's battles are not shown by they advance to the third round of competition. 
On the second day of double battles, Monica faces Regan and his Houndoom and Shiftry with her Gallade and Sableye, whom she Mega Evolves. Monica commands an strategy that forces Regan's Pokemon to focus on her Gallade, who empowers with Swords Dance, while Sableye hammers Power Gem attacks from afar. Monica's strategy advances her to the Top 16. 
Connor commands Machamp and Slaking for a double battle of brute power against Cornelius' Golem and Raichu. Machamp overpowers Golem, leading it Cornelius to have it explode and take Machamp out of the battle with it, leaving Slaking and Raichu to battle alone, and Slaking seals a win for its trainer. 
Andrew is shown to be one of the winners, and Justin battles Claudia's Masquerain and Glalie with Plusle and Swellow. Swellow takes out Masquerain early in the battle due to Plusle's Helping Hand, but the battle becomes much more difficult once Claudia has Glalie use Sheer Cold, preventing Plusle from touching the ground, and Icy WInd to hinder Swellow in flight. Justin has Plusle use Nuzzle and latch onto Glalie's face to blind it, so Swellow can defeat it with Aerial Ace and Wing Attack. Justin advances to the Top 16.
