Hawlucha is at a disadvantage, since it can glide but not truly fly. It puts up a good fight, but Talonflame defeats it—and then Talonflame finds itself trapped in a net attached to Team Rocket’s balloon! But the villains didn’t count on one thing: this time, the Twerps can fly! Fletchling pitches in to send them blasting off again.
Talonflame is impressed with Fletchling’s heroism, and agrees to battle the small Pokémon. With Bonnie cheering all the way, Fletchling evolves into Fletchinder in the middle of battle, and Talonflame is defeated!
