After getting back to the Agate Circus, Ash heads inside the Big Top Arena, only to see the Ringmaster waiting for them.

Ringmaster: A-ha! I knew it! I could feel it -In fact, I could practically smell it- One of those Battle Passes making its way back here! I'm glad you were able to find one, Ash!

Ash: Um...thanks? (Thinks) Did she just smell the Battle Pass instead of seeing it with her own eyes?

Ringmaster: And I know that can only mean one thing! But first- Allow me to test your mettle! It's all for the show, you see? I gotta know what my crew is up against so I know how to hype it! Even a weak challenger can still be good for an underdog story or just for the trio's rep', but we have to frame it that way! On the other hand, if this is gonna be a nail-biter, I wanna know ahead of time. So, Ash, show me what kind of story we can expect from you!

Ash is surprised that he has to battle the Ringmaster, and he already sends out a Pyroar. Ash goes for Machamp for this battle, and Pyroar goes for Hyper Voice, with the crowd cheering on, it deals more damage. But Machamp decides to go for Brick Break.

Machine: WHAM-O! Powerful!

Ash is surprised by the voice and the Brick Break defeats the Pyroar with just one hit, much to his surprise. Ash then realizes what the field means, and he decides to continue the battle. After a while, Ash has used Poliwrath to defeat her Donphan, and also her Blaziken. As for Luxray and Primarina, they are both defeated by Ash's Nidoqueen.

Ringmaster: A nail-biter it is, then! (Recalls Primarina) Maybe even a sweep with some luck... Oooh, I do just kind of love it when Samson in particular loses. No real reason! And definitely no under-the-table bets with him and Ciel about how many times they lose on the challenger's first attempt!

Ash: Should I pretend that I haven't heard of what you've said?

Ringmaster: Nosiree, none of that here! Anyway, I'll go make preparations at once- tell Samson to get his butt into gear!

Ash sighs as he walks into the room, only to see two groups of three seemingly in a heated conversation.

Terra: (Notices Ash) hey bb u lyk wat u c?

Ciel: (Sighs) Terra, please refrain from flirting with our guests.

Terra: Ciel iz jelly

Ciel: I am not! Of what would I possibly be jealous?

Terra: Ciel wantz the D.

Ciel: Terra, darling, you don't even have a D.

Samson: Well, hold on, Ciel. How do you know for sure?

Ciel: What are you implying?

Terra: (Walks upside down to Ciel) he aint imply nothin. cuz we all know what do happen when you done implied... you make an imp out of li and ed LOLOLOLOL

Ciel: Don't you have work to do?

Terra: (Gets back on her feet) HELLZ YEA I GOT WORK TO DO! SO BEND OVER SO I CAN DO YA!
