Episode Title:
Rising Fire! There's More Than One Rival!!.
Episode Description:
In the first match of the Alola Pokémon League semifinals, Gladion changes Silvally into a Fire type at the perfect moment to withstand Turtonator’s Z-Move and defeat Kiawe! Then, it’s Guzma and Scizor versus Ash and Torracat. Guzma immediately uses U-turn to switch Scizor out for Golisopod, and the battle seems to be going well. But after taking damage, Golisopod suddenly returns to its Poké Ball, forcing Scizor back into the battle—and directly into the path of Torracat’s Fire Blast! It’s super effective! Scizor is defeated in a single hit, and as Guzma loses his temper and yells at Golisopod, everyone is left to wonder—what will happen next?
