In a rage, he tossed out his {{p|Raichu}}, and told it to use {{m|Iron Tail}}. Ash countered Raichu's attack with an Iron Tail of his own. Both Iron Tails collided. Once Sho realized that Pikachu wasn't wild, he offered up a few Pokémon to [[trade]]; namely a {{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Magnemite}}, and {{p|Magneton}}. Ash turned down all of the other Pokémon. Brock then asked why Sho wanted Pikachu so badly, to which he replied that he wanted a 'full-power [[evolution]] set'. | In a rage, he tossed out his {{p|Raichu}}, and told it to use {{m|Iron Tail}}.

Ash asked why Sho didn't just evolve his Pichu, and Sho said that then he'd have to catch another Pichu. Ash challenged Sho to a battle – His Raichu against Pikachu. Sho accepted on the terms that if he won, Pikachu was his. However, Ash declined that offer. Still, Sho agreed to battle him anyway. | Ash asked why Sho didn't just evolve his Pichu, and Sho said that then he'd have to catch another Pichu.

The first attack launched was by Pikachu – A {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Raichu took the electricity, completely unfazed. Sho mocked Pikachu's power, and gave Pikachu a {{m|Thunder}}. Pikachu also took the attack, then launched {{m|Volt Tackle}}; however, Raichu also knew this move and used it as well. Both of the Volt Tackles collided, creating an explosion. Raichu safely landed on its feet, but Pikachu slammed into a rock and struggled to stand back up. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, skidding backwards on the ground. | The first attack launched was by Pikachu – A {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Raichu took the electricity, completely unfazed.
