Ash plans on challenging the gym leader but Mile, the previous Gym Leader, and grandfather of Skyla (the current Gym Leader), says that she's knows how the battle will turn out without having an actual battle which she develops an imaginary battle which she calls the "Air Battle" because every trainers around Unova flocked here to challenge her in an actual battle.

Quotes

• "So, you can't know a battle without trying?  I say, not trying gives the same result, and that's why my air battles are the way I roll." - Skyla after Swanna beats Crustle.

​Cilan: "Hnngh! I'm going to win this and prove that a Gym Leader has no right to make such a horrendous statement, with the help of my third Pokémon, Stunfisk!"

"Stun, Stun, Stun, Stunfisk!" - Stunfisk after being released from his PokéBall.

Cilan: "Use Thundershock!"

Stunfisk: "Fisk!"

"Since Swanna's a Water and Flying-Type, that Thundershock did lots of damage!" - Iris after Thundershock hits.

"Swanna's fine!" - Ash after Swanna shakes Thundershock off.

Skyla: Don't disappoint me.  If you're going to beat my Flying-Types, you'll have to learn a more powerful move like Thunderbolt at least.
