What to expect from Pokemon Path to the Peak Episode 3?

Episode 3 of Pokemon Path to the Peak will see Ava take part in her first-ever International competition. This will surely add a new layer of nerves, and it will be interesting to see how she overcomes them.

One of the most interesting things about Ava's deck is that her ace Pocket Monster is an Oddish. Considering it is not the most powerful critter, it remains to be seen how well it performs against other top contenders on the international stage.

Episode 3 will also most likely explore the rivalry between Ava and Celestine further. The third episode in the four-part series may also treat viewers with a battle between Ava and Joshua.

All that considered, Ava's performance at the international stage will be of importance considering it will determine her potential journey to the World Championships, where the show is slated to head in its closing episode.
