Poketto monsutâ - Season 17 Episode 20

On their way to Shoyo City, our heroes meet Nikola and Tesla, two brothers who introduce them to the incredible Battle Chateau. Its owner, Lord Ikkon, explains that the Trainers who battle there are considered knights and expected to adhere to the knight's code of chivalry and honor. By defeating others at the Battle Chateau, a Trainer receives a title of nobility–from the lowly Baron to the acclaimed Grand Duke. Nikola has already earned his Baron title, and he wants to introduce Tesla to the Chateau. First, though, he's looking for a battle of his own–and when his Hinoyakoma defeats Baron Farrell and his Yonoir, Nikola earns the new title of Viscount. Next, Tesla and Satoshi face off in their debut battle. Tesla's Yayakoma makes a valiant effort, but Pikachu is triumphant, and Satoshi is now a Baron. Gym Leader (and Duchess) Viola also frequents the Battle Chateau, and after snapping a photo of Satoshi in his new Baron cape, she receives a challenge of her own. Duke Zakuro, with his powerful Iwark, and Duchess Viola, with her speedy Ametama, take the battlefield–but thanks to some impressive training, Iwark manages to keep up with Ametama, and Zakuro wins, earning the highest title of Grand Duke. Afterward, Satoshi is determined to advance through the Battle Chateau ranks so he can challenge Zakuro someday, but it seems that may not be necessary–because Zakuro is the Gym Leader of Shoyo City, our heroes' next stop.
