IRIS AND EXCADRILL AGAINST THE DRAGON BUSTER!
"Derp."
Score: 7/10
The heroes are walking when they meet Georgia, who introduces herself as a Dragon Buster - she specializes in defeating dragon pokemon. I assume her friend is a Ghostbuster HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Anyway, she especially specializes in fighting dragon pokemon from the Village of Dragons, all because she was once defeated at that village. Well, how can Iris refuse an awkwardly-inserted rival who was literally in the first frame of the episode and who has a silly motivation? Then we get the opening credits, and then the narrator tells us what happened thirty seconds ago. Thanks, bro. I hate how I forget basic plot points that quickly.
Georgia sends out a Beartic, and Iris counters with Axew. Axew tries its best, but gets its ass demolished. Upon learning Axew was her only dragon, Georgia is about to leave, but Iris offers to make her fight a much stronger non-dragon and taunts her into agreeing. She then sends out Excadrill. Her strategy? Even though Excadrill ignores her, if Beartic attacks, it'll probably get annoyed enough to fight anyway.
It works, but Excadrill completely ignores Iris' orders. It performs well, but still loses to a rock smash. Iris concedes, and Georgia leaves. Iris reveals that Excadrill's first loss was also to a rock smash, and ever since then, Excadrill has been moody and doesn't obey her commands.
Flashback time! Iris in the Village of Dragons. She played with the wild pokemon, but one was kicked out of its home by a Drilbur. Iris attacked it hand-to-hand, but got her ass kicked. She came back several times, each time getting her ass kicked. On her tenth try, she defeated Drilbur by accidentally kicking so that it fell off a cliff, but managed to rescue it, and the two became friends. They battled and became strong, and then the village had a tournament, which Drilbur won and evolved during. Then Drayden appeared, and somehow Iris does not yet know who Drayden is.
Drayden was impressed by Iris learning all of her skills on her own, and she challenged him to a battle for her one hundredth win. Drayden sent out Haxorus, and though Excadrill did its best, Haxorus was just ridiculously out of its league. Drilbur started questioning if it could win, and Iris told it could, only for it to be defeated with ease. After the battle, it clammed up and refused to listen to her anymore. Iris thinks it just can't handle losing, but Cilan says maybe Excadrill has a problem with Iris' strategy - she did, after all, command it during the battle it lost.
