==Synopsis==
Yazmyne earns the chance to face Thorton who is disgruntled by Yazmyne's challenge. He's annoyed she kept her Umbreon for the entire challenge. When he views the odds of the match, he says 93%, but doesn't reveal what it means. When the battle progresses in Yazmyne's favor, Yazmyne reveals that she has actually understood the totality of the Battle Factory challenge. The Battle Factory opponents and Pokémon are designated at the very start of the challenge. The scientists use strategies and Pokémon that are "weaker" than the challenger's but that only applies if the challenger swaps. Swapping in Battle Factory increases the odds of victory, and puts the challenger at an advantage while refusing to puts the challenger at a disadvantage. Yazmyne says "Team 1 is better than Team 2 but Team 3 is better than Team 1," and the same applies for other trams.
Yazmyne explains that her strategy has always been to play against the strategy of her opponent in a counter strategy. If she knows what tactic her opponent will use, then she can counter it. It is why she kept her Umbreon. Yazmyne knew that every team would be set up in some way to counter Umbreon and its tactics. Since she knew what to expect, she knew what to counter and how to do so with her other two Pokemon. In addition, Yazmyne says that making her swaps unpredictable or unusual would throw off Thorton's data, statistics, and expectations.
Thorton admits he's facing a genius like himself. Thorton battles with less "calculation" and with a more enjoyable air. He seems to get the upperhand to deliver a final attack, but his Pokémon is stunned with paralysis and Yazmyne wins with a final Zap Cannon from her Magnezone to claim the Factory Key.
