==Synopsis==
Justin and Andrew continue their intense Full Battle.
==Summary==
Andrew and Justin continue their Full Battle between Sneasel and Furret who fire Ice Beam and Thunderbolt, resulting in an explosion. In the explosion, Furret burrows away with Dig and pops back up to slice Sneasel several times with Cut. Sneasel is quick to freeze close the holes with Ice Beam, but it does not stop Furret's overall tactic. Instead, Sneasel begins to listen for Furret and interrupt his Cut with Metal Claw then land an Ice Shard. Furret crashes on the ground but gets back up. Sneasel and Furret fire Ice Beam and Thunderbolt. This time, the attacks bypass the other and land direct blows, which eliminate them both from the battle.
Andrew and Justin select Gloom and Murkrow as their next Pokemon. When the battle resumes, Andrew realizes Bayleef's Reflect has faded. Murkrow blasts Gloom with Night Shade. He then dives in with Night Slash, but Gloom uses Acid to blind Murkrow, disrupting his attack. Murkrow shakes off the poison sludge, and Gloom stuns it with Sweet Scent. Murkrow being affected shows that Mr. Mime's Safeguard has faded. While Murkrow is dazed, Gloom charges and lands a Solar Beam. Murkrow survives the attack to land a super-effective Sky Attack. The attack flinches Gloom, and Murkrow defeats him with Night Slash.
Andrew recalls his fallen Gloom for Bayleef. Before Bayleef can make a move, Justin surprises Andrew by using Taunt to prevent Bayleef from using Reflect. Murkrow then blasts Bayleef with Night Shade. Bayleef uses Razor Leaf, which Murkrow dodges but transitions to a surprise Magical Leaf, which never misses. Bayleef damages and wraps Murkrow with Vine Whip. Bayleef smashes Murkrow into the ground several times until the latter blasts Bayleef with Night Shade. Bayleef recovers and fires a Magical Leaf. Murkrow destroys the leaves by charging in with Sky Attack then land crashes into Bayleef, defeating her.
Andrew's final Pokemon is Pinsir, whom Andrew reveals he captured in a National Park Bug Catching Contest after the Grass Tournament. Murkrow Taunts it to seal any potential status moves. Murkrow blasts Pinsir with Night Shade then dives with with Sky Attack. Pinsir is sturdy. It endures the blow and captures Murkrow in its head. Pinsir then uses Guillotine with Murkrow in its head. The OHKO attack immediately defeats Murkrow.
Justin's final Pokemon is his Scyther, admitting that Scyther was his strongest Pokemon even if disobedient. Justin and Andrew make early commends, but the two Bug-Types don't respond. They analyze and recognize each other as they were both residents of National Park. Pinsir then looks back at Andrew, ready battle.
Justin orders Scyther to power-up with Swords Dance, but Scyther ignores Justin to ram Pinsir with Quick Attack, which Justin does not want as Pinsir may catch him in its head. Pinsir does try to take hold of Scyther but the latter gets away in time and hammers Pinsir with Air Slash. Pinsir deflects some of the blows with Brick Break until it flinches and is rammed by another Quick Attack and Air Slash. When Pinsir is alleviated by the effects of Murkrow's Taunt, it powered up with its own Swords Dance. Scyther attacks with X-Scissor and Andrew has Pinsir smash the ground with Superpower to disrupt Scyther's vision and therefore his attack. Scyther is then caught in Pinsir's head. Scyther's wings are free and releases blades of Air Slash but Pinsir endures and defeats the Mantis Pokemon with Guillotine, winning Andrew the battle.
After the battle, Justin's grandparents heal Andrew and Justin's Pokemon. Andrew truly respects Justin for his growth and encourages him to gain Scyther's trust and respect.
