After May's incredible third contest win, Ashlyn made amazing treats for all their pokemon, especially for Swanna and Gyarados which they greatly appreciated and were extremely excited about.
"So you ready for our battle tomorrow Ashlyn?" Winona asked her as they were making dinner
"Yeah I am, confident about winning not too sure," Ashlyn said smiling nervously "But I don't want you to hold back I want to battle everyone at their best"
"I know sweetheart" Winona said before she kissed her niece's hair "You'll be alright with an audience?"
"What is our gym battle going to be a spectacle of the Feather festival?" Ashlyn asked cheekily
" Oh I hope not but we both know that we won't get what we want" Winona sighed
"Where were you and uncle Steven during the contest anyway?" She asked as she gave Sobble and Toxel one tablespoon of Pecha berry icing each
"Um, you don't need to know that," Winona said blushing a rose pink color
"Alright... then," Ashlyn said before she moved the cookie dough to the tray
"We're back" Steven greeted as he walked towards Winona then kissed her cheek "Something wrong?"
"No not at all" Winona squeaked before she gave him a little shove and walked out of the kitchen
"What did you do?" Alain asked as he walked over to Ashlyn
"Nothing," she said grinning mischievously
"Toxel what did she do?" he asked as Steven followed Winona out of the kitchen
"Here Toxel," Ashlyn said giving Toxel a cookie while smiling at him "Don't tell papa what happened"
"Really? bribing my Pokemon?" Alain asked in disbelief
"Yes," she said before she walked away leaving him to look at Toxel who was just enjoying his cookie

On the day of the gym battle, the gym was just as full as the day of the contest, everyone excitedly awaiting the upcoming battle. As Ashlyn and Winona walked onto their respective elevating platforms, Alain called Raihan's Rotom phone only to see Victor pick it up and in the background, Raihan was carrying Allister like a sack of berries for some reason.
"Do I need to know?" Alain asked gesturing toward Raihan
"No," Victor said chuckling nervously
"Alright then," he said still slightly suspicious "Well anyway Ashlyn's gym battle is about to begin"
"Oh wonderful we have arrived just in time," Opal said as Piers guided her over to the sofa
"Where are you guys now?" Max asked noticing the different furniture
"We're all at Spikemuth though Leon couldn't make it. Chairman Rose had a full schedule for him" Hop said before he sat next to Victor
"Alright then," Alain said before facing his phone towards the battle
"Why are they on those platforms?" Hop asked confused
"You'll see," Max said smiling

"The battle against the Fortree gym leader Winona and trainer Ashlyn Ketchum of Petalburg City will now begin!" George announced before raising both flags in his hands
"Corviknight! To the skies" Ashlyn exclaimed before throwing one of her Pokeballs before a large, avian Pokémon resembling a raven appeared. Most of her body is lustrous black, but her lower beak and legs have a matte color. Her feathers are tempered with steel. Her mantle, breast, belly, flanks, and scapular feathers are smooth and resemble plate armor. Her talons, head, and upper beak are similarly armored. She has a crest above her eyes that resembles a crown, and a ruff of feathers on her throat that resemble a beard. Her eyes have white pupils, red irises, and black sclerae appeared flapping her wings to stay in front of her trainer
