Skyla vs Cilan

Skyla debuted in Cilan Takes Flight! . Those who wished to challenge her were required to make reservations first. She would pick up to fifteen challengers at a time and have them participate in what she called an "Air Battle"—a battle that she played out in her head—instead of traditional battles . Skyla matched up her Pokémon against her opponent's and made decisions through their strengths and weaknesses. If she felt her team would have a disadvantage, she would give the challenger the Jet Badge . However, if she felt her team had the advantage, she would deny the challenger a Badge.
This method infuriated both Ash and Cilan . Not only did they disapprove of Skyla's methods, but her own grandfather and former Mistralton Gym Leader , Miles , disapproved as well. He then explained that she used to do traditional battles and was quite good. As a result, she received floods of challengers each day and that ultimately prevented her from having any time to pilot her plane. As a Gym Leader himself, it was simply unacceptable to Cilan and he wished to challenge her.
Skyla agreed to battle Cilan first since it would be the first time she battled another Gym Leader. She performed her "Air Battle" first and concluded that she was the winner. However, Cilan persuaded her to battle the traditional way. Like she had predicted in her head, she came out victorious in the real battle and thus did not feel she needed to change her methods at all.
In order to help make her realize the true meaning of being a Gym Leader, Ash battled Skyla himself in An Amazing Aerial Battle! . He eventually won with his Tranquill evolving into Unfezant , earning himself the Jet Badge . She then learned not to take air battles so lightly and promised to be a proper Gym Leader from then on.
She reappeared in flashbacks in Curtain Up, Unova League! and Survival of the Striaton Gym! . She also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of Genesect and the Legend Awakened .

Skyla was overconfident in her strength, which focused solely on type matchups and led her to develop the concept of "Air Battles". In doing so, she could pursue her passions for flight, while somewhat fulfilling her responsibilities as Gym Leader .
Her selfish ways overshadowed her bubbly personality and talented battle style. She is unwaveringly confident and doesn't show any signs of cracking under pressure when battling. She has a keen eye for detail, having learned many of her techniques from her grandfather, Miles . During her match against Cilan , she relied largely on attacks, with her Swanna 's Aqua Ring in the final round revealing her actual potential. While in An Amazing Aerial Battle! , Skyla used an array of techniques like speed and counterattacks for a much more dynamic performance in her match against Ash .
