He also helped out Ash Ketchum who was a bit nervous being in front of the camera and he talked about the famous movie, "The Mask of Deathmas", where the heroine is portrayed as putting her life on the line for the sake of acting. He told Ash Ketchum that in order to move the viewers with his performance, he'd need to become the role he was assigned.

Unable to make a decision in the case, Don George suggested that the verdict be decided with a battle and Cilan agreed. After Ash's Pignite defeated Shamus, Cilan said the battle had a superb taste and that there's no need to hand down a verdict as it's obvious that Ash Ketchum and Ash's Tepig were right.

Cilan was then eliminated from the tournament.
