Our heroes and Sawyer arrive in Snowbelle City, and Ash is fired up to win his final badge at the freezing Gym! First up is Wulfric's Abomasnow, whose Ability causes hail to fall on the already-icy battlefield! After Hawlucha fights through it to claim the first victory, Wulfric sends out Avalugg-who slowly recovers from damage when it's hailing. It's an icy combo that proves to be very effective, as Avalugg knocks out Hawlucha and Talonflame, and even defeats Greninja after it syncs up with Ash to become "Ash-Greninja" (as Bonnie calls it). Ash is devastated, and while his Pokemon heal up, he goes off on his own to recover!
