Gyarados goes in to {{m|Bite}} Pikachu, but Pikachu uses Agility to get out of the way. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} but before it could attack, Gyarados uses DragonBreath, tiring Pikachu. Gyarados then tries to finish it off with a Hydro Pump, which misses Pikachu as it uses Agility to get out of the way. As Gyarados goes in for another Hydro Pump, Pikachu uses Agility to race up the Hydro Pump to get into point-blank-range of Gyarados' face. It then uses a Thunderbolt to knock Gyarados out. | Gyarados goes in to {{m|Bite}} Pikachu, but Pikachu uses Agility to get out of the way.

Clair then releases her strongest Pokémon: Dragonair. Pikachu then uses Thunderbolt, but Dragonair dives under the water. Clair orders a Hyper Beam, which zooms out of the water and smashes into Pikachu, taking it out. Ash then sends out {{AP|Charizard}} into battle. The roof of the stadium then opens so that the two Pokémon could have a sky high battle. | Clair then releases her strongest Pokémon: Dragonair.

Charizard goes in to attack Dragonair. Clair tells it to dive under the water. From under the water, Dragonair spins to create a massive twister, which bursts out of the water and smashes into Charizard. Charizard then uses {{m|Flamethrower}} on the lake drying it entirely. Dragonair is now unable to dodge by diving in the water. Clair then orders Dragonair use {{m|Iron Tail}}. Charizard dodges and grabs Dragonair. Ash then orders a {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Charizard starts to spin around the earth and is about to throw Dragonair when it uses {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Charizard is hit bad and it falls to the ground. But on Ash's encouragement Charizard gets up and flies toward Dragonair. Dragonair then tries to use another Iron Tail. Charizard grabs it again and uses Seismic Toss just as before. Dragonair once again uses Dragon Rage but Charizard uses Fire Spin while in the twister! As Charizard is holding on to Dragonair, it is unable to escape. It then uses a fiery Seismic Toss. Charizard flies from the flames, roaring with victory. Clair orders Dragonair to get up. It tries, but collapses again. Clair then pulls out the Rising Badge and hands it to Ash, who says his usual line and Pikachu jumps for joy. | Charizard goes in to attack Dragonair. Clair tells it to dive under the water.
