Unfezant took the heavy attack but it left some recoil damage on Noctowl.
Jonathan: Use Ice Beam!

Dawn: Return Braviary, you did great so take a long rest. Now it's up to you Ash, good luck.
Ash: No need to worry Dawn. I can win this for us. Unfezant, use Sky Drop on Noctowl!
Unfezant is dropping real fast with Sky Drop to knock out Noctowl.
Logan: Use Hypnosis!
Unfezant is unaffected by Hypnosis due to its dropping speed and it's unable to see Noctowl's eyes.
Unfezant landed a critical hit on Noctown and its knock out.
Referee: (Whistle blow) Noctowl is unable to battle and our two winners again are Ash & Dawn. Plus they will be advancing to the final round.
