As they arrive in a new city, Ash & Co. quickly learn that Team Plasma are there and are using their technology to once again manipulate Pokémon. In doing so, the Pokémon Haxorus starts destroying the city. Iris protests at this, claiming there's no way a Dragon-type Pokémon can be bad. In trying to stop the rampage, Iris' Dragonite soon falls to Team Plasma's manipulation, and N can no longer hear the Pokémon's hearts. N is worried and tries to stop the Pokémon, but ends up becoming their next target. Will they be able to stop Team Plasma's plans?
