While on the way to Nimbasa City, the group comes across a trainer named
 Georgia who claims that she is a Dragon Buster and can beat any 
Dragon-type Pokémon. Iris challenges her, saying that she is training to
 be a Dragon Master. Langley sends out her Beartic, with Iris afraid, 
but sending out Axew to fight it. Axew is easily beaten, and Iris sends 
out Excadrill next, but he will not obey her orders. Georgia taunts her 
before she leaves. As Iris tries to comfort Excadrill, he curls up into 
inactive mode once more. Iris tells Ash and Cilan that like long ago, 
this time, Excadrill was defeated by the move Rock Smash. She tells Ash 
and Cilan how she captured Excadrill when she first found him as a 
Drilbur bothering other Pokémon in the forest around her home town many 
years ago. After she saved him after he nearly fell off a cliff, Drilbur
 became Iris's partner and trained under her, eventually evolving into 
an Excadrill and winning a tournament in her home. Drayden, a Dragon 
Master, tells Iris that he is impressed. She challenges him to a battle,
 and says it will be their 100th victory, and she wants it to be against
 a Dragon Master. He accepts her challenge, but when Excadrill fights 
Shaga's Haxorus, none of its moves appear effective, and he loses the 
match. Upset, Excadrill shut itself off from Iris and has not listened 
to her. Cilan says that it is not disappointment that is causing 
Excadrill's behavior but anger at Iris for forcing it to fight a match 
that he knew that he would lose. That night, Iris apologizes to 
Excadrill, saying that she did not try to understand his feelings. 
Excadrill listens in surprise, remembering how Iris never gave up trying
 to beat him, and her words of encouragement. He moves out of its 
inactive mode, but Iris is already asleep. Excadrill goes into the woods
 to practice its Focus Blast move, until Iris wakes up and sees it, 
deciding to help him master the move. The next day, Georgia comes across
 the group again after she has eaten their breakfast, and Iris 
challenges her to a match, again. With Excadrill's trust once again 
formed with Iris, and his newly learned Focus Blast, he is now an even 
match for Georgia's Beartic, but both defeat each other at the same 
time, resulting in a tie. Georgia, although upset, still claims she is a
 Dragon Buster. she tells Iris to meet her again one day in battle, and 
Cilan to prepare a better meal for her. Iris comforts Excadrill in the 
draw, saying it was a great battle. Excadrill hugs her, and she hugs 
back, saying that she loves Excadrill. In the end, Excadrill and Iris 
are once again good friends.
