March 15th: NS017 - Hibanny, Use Your Flaming Kick! Face Tomorrow!!
Satoshi and Go are practicing battling in the Sakuragi Park. But then Hihidaruma comes over, provoking Go and Hibanny, the Pokémon he has partnered with, by suggesting they should try using a Fire type move. Hibanny tries Ember, but it's not able to use the move very well and just ends up getting made fun of by Hihidaruma. An annoyed Hibanny starts working hard on practicing this move, which Go thinks is pointless since Hibanny can battle just fine using its other moves. And before they know it, these contrasting mindsets result in the two starting to fight.
