The biggest conflict of the story emerges when they realize that Torkoal don't have hair so the Scizor go on an epic journey to find a Shaymin-chia-pet-looking things to place on the Torkoals' shells, but in reality this story was all about elderly, kind Torkoal seeking solace and finding peace with the Scizor community. Excellent story! +3 points
2. CrobatMan vs. ZuperMan: Sword of Justice - In this action-PACKED scheme, CrobatMan is back at it AGAIN eating Corphish and taking down the bad guys, one-by-one! His schedule is interrupted when a PorygonZ PokeSoul named ZuperMan claims to want to fight him because they might have actually been long-lost brothers and CrobatMan's not alright with that at all! Before their final showdown, the Keldeo Sword of Justice shows up and is like, hey haha +2 points
3. Cap'n Braviary: Civil World - In this odd tale, the superhero Braviary doesn't actually fight any bad guys or prevent the PokeWorld from collapsing. Actually, it's about his internal struggle of not fitting into a completely civil, calmed society, and the turmoil he faces as a caped hero out of work. +1 point
