 Returning to the present, Paul begins by having Aggron use {{m|Metal Claw}}, and Ash has Pikachu counter with {{m|Iron Tail}} and the two {{type|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 special 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 then uses {{m|Volt Tackle}}, speeding towards Aggron.  Paul counters with Aggron's {{m|Flash Cannon}}, hitting Pikachu and sending him flying, rolling back onto his feet.  Ash knows Pikachu is struggling and decides to call him back 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 {{Status|burn}}s from Flare Blitz.  Ash then instructs Infernape to use {{m|Mach Punch}}, and Paul orders Aggron to use Flash Cannon, but Infernape lands the fast Mach Punch before Aggron can fire, sending Aggron flying into the wall behind Paul and crushing the surface on impact.  When the smoke clears it is [[fainting|unable to battle]], giving Ash the lead.
-Paul then sends out his {{p|Gastrodon}} and Ash calls back Infernape and sends out {{AP|Staraptor}}.  Gastrodon begins with {{m|Muddy Water}} and Staraptor uses {{m|Quick Attack}} and connects; Gastrodon continues using Muddy Water, circling its head above its body, and clips Staraptor.  It quickly becomes clear that Gastrodon is using Ash's [[Counter Shield]] technique.  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 with its soft body.  Gastrodon then uses {{m|Water Pulse}} and shoots it straight up into the sky, which then picks up speed as it comes down.  Gastrodon watches it intently; Ash and the gang realize that it will jump away at the last second, giving no time for Staraptor to dodge it.  Just when all seems lost, Ash has Staraptor use {{m|Close Combat}} by banging hard into the ground, lifting him up, which knocks off Gastrodon and he escapes the Water Pulse.  Paul orders Gastrodon to use {{m|Ice Beam}} while falling backwards, bringing the in-flight Staraptor to a screeching halt and crashing onto the field. Knowing Staraptor is at a big disadvantage since Gastrodon knows Ice Beam, Ash decides that he will have to recall Staraptor for later and change his strategy.

 Ash calls back Staraptor and sends out {{AP|Buizel}}. At this point, Paul points out that what Ash is doing is too predictable now. He knows Ash is just trying to get rid of all the frustration his Pokémon felt from that loss back at Lake Acuity into his advantage here which is why he brought them all back for this battle. Ash states he is correct and that this is all what his Pokémon want. He knows they lost to him back at [[Lake Acuity]], but they are still beating him here no matter what. Buizel agrees immediately to what Ash has said. Gastrodon uses Ice Beam again and Buizel uses {{m|Aqua Jet}}, turning it into Ice Aqua Jet to hit Gastrodon. This hits Gastrodon and causes it to jump up and Gastrodon then goes for Body Slam, and Ash thinks quickly and instructs Buizel to meet the attack with {{m|Ice Punch}}, causing Gastrodon to faint.
