Having both progressed through the initial rounds of the [[Suzuran Conference]], it's finally time for Ash and Paul's long awaited league battle. With {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Barry}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} (acting as cheerleader) watching from the stands, [[Team Rocket]] selling snacks to the audience and [[Champion]] [[Cynthia]] and [[Charles Goodshow]] observing too, both competitors are brought into the main stadium where they will conduct a [[full battle]] to decide who get through to the semi-finals. Ash decides to begin with {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Paul sends out his first Pokémon, {{TP|Paul|Aggron}}. The two trainers face off, both aiming to settle their long-standing [[rival]]ry once and for all. Preparing for his battle against Paul, Ash is getting in some last-minute training alongside {{AP|Gliscor}}, which has recently returned from it's training with [[McCann]] the Air Master. Gliscor practices {{m|Giga Impact}} in a session with Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} while {{an|Barry}} watches from Ash's side. After commending his Pokémon on how much its improved since being left for training, Ash reflects on his [[DP131|past]] [[DP132|battle]] with Paul, on how badly he lost and how much he's hoped to have improved. Inside the [[Pokémon Center]], Dawn preps Piplup and gives him his new cheering uniform. Meanwhile, Paul talks to [[Reggie]] about his upcoming battle with Ash. Paul discovers Dawn eavesdropping and Paul confesses his main problem with Ash... his talk about bringing out a Pokémon's inner strength and how any Pokémon has the potential to be strong reminds him a lot of Reggie. Dawn points out to Paul that just as Reggie is Reggie, Ash is Ash and does things his own way. Everyone soon meets outside, and Paul makes Ash promise to give him a good battle to which Ash agrees. | Having both progressed through the initial rounds of the [[Suzuran Conference]], it's finally time for Ash and Paul's long awaited league battle.

Paul begins by having Aggron use {{m|Metal Claw}}, and Ash has Pikachu counter with {{m|Iron Tail}} and the two {{type2|Steel}} moves impact canceling each other out. Paul then tells Aggron to use {{m|Metal Sound}}. A high-pitched noise is produced from Aggron's horns which causes pain to Pikachu. In the stands, {{MTR}} is also affected and can barely move, leading Jessie and James to cheer for Ash in order to make sure no-one notices Meowth. Piplup is also affected by the attack as Brock explains that Metal Sound lowers a Pokémon's defense. Ash instructs Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to stop Aggron's attack, and Pikachu manages to pull it off, stopping Aggron as well as causing a little damage. Pikachu is then told to use {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and Pikachu speeds towards Aggron ready to strike with the powerful move. Paul counters with Aggron's {{m|Flash Cannon}}, hitting Pikachu and sending him flying. Ash knows Pikachu is struggling and decides to call him to save for later and substitutes with {{AP|Infernape}}. Cynthia recognizes Infernape as the {{p|Chimchar}} she [[DP040|once battled]] while Team Rocket are excited to see Infernape battle, having had a soft spot for it since the [[Tag Battle Tournament]]. Paul tells Aggron to use {{m|Double-Edge}} while Ash tells Infernape to counter with {{m|Flare Blitz}}. The two powerful and dangerous attacks collide. The two are sent backwards, and Infernape suffers from the [[recoil]]. Unfortunately, Aggron has the {{a|Rock Head}} ability which cancels out the normal recoil from Double-Edge... but luckily for Ash, it turns out that Aggron has suffered {{DL|Status|Burn|burns}} from Flare Blitz. Ash then instructs Infernape to use {{m|Mach Punch}}, and Paul instructs Aggron to use Flash Cannon, but Infernape lands Mach Punch before Aggron could | Paul begins by having Aggron use {{m|Metal Claw}}, and Ash has Pikachu counter with {{m|Iron Tail}} and the two {{type2|Steel}} moves impact canceling each other out.

The hit is hard, Aggron is send flying and when the smoke clears from its landing, it is [[fainting|unable to battle]], giving Ash the lead. | ||
Paul then sends out his {{TP|Paul|Gastrodon}} and Ash calls back Infernape and sends out {{AP|Staraptor}}. Gastrodon begins with {{m|Muddy Water}} and Staraptor uses {{m|Quick Attack}} and lands the attack; Gastrodon continues using Muddy Water, and clips Staraptor using an attack style that Ash has used countless times on Paul in the past. Ash instructs Staraptor to dive down and use <!--so is it Quick Attack or Aerial Ace (see three lines above)--> Aerial Ace, and Gastrodon counter-attacks with {{m|Body Slam}}, trapping Staraptor. Gastrodon then uses {{m|Water Pulse}} and shoots it to the sky then comes down with more power, and when all seems lost, Staraptor uses {{m|Close Combat}} on the ground, lifting him up and escaping the Water Pulse. Paul instructs Gastrodon to use {{m|Ice Beam}}, bringing the in-flight Staraptor to a screeching halt and a meeting with good ol' earth. Ash calls back Staraptor and sends out {{AP|Buizel}}. Gastrodon uses Ice Beam again and Buizel uses {{m|Aqua Jet}}, and becomes frozen in the move, but uses the now Ice Aqua Jet to hit Gastrodon. Gastrodon then uses Body Slam, and Ash thinks quickly and instructs Buizel to use {{m|Ice Punch}}, causing Gastrodon to faint. | Paul then sends out his {{TP|Paul|Gastrodon}} and Ash calls back Infernape and sends out {{AP|Staraptor}}.
