Meanwhile, across the city, {{TRT}} are standing outside [[Sunyshore Tower]]. As before, the three are determined to steal it and deliver it to {{an|Giovanni}} knowing its solar power system would be a valuable prize. Also, having [[DP166|already successfully infiltrated it before]], [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} are convinced that leaving with it will be easier than ever.

Volkner sends out his first Pokémon, an {{p|Electivire}} and Ash decides to begin with {{AP|Torterra}} due to the obvious type-advantage it has over Electivire. Ash starts by ordering a {{m|Leaf Storm}} from Torterra, however Volkner has Electivire use {{m|Fire Punch}} to burn the leaves up. Brock notes that it's just like a Gym Leader to use an attacking move as a defense. Ash tells Torterra to use Leaf Storm again and Electivire again uses Fire Punch to burn the leaves up, however this leaves its mid-section exposed and Ash has Torterra use {{m|Energy Ball}} in quick succession and manages to score a direct-hit. Ash then has Torterra use {{m|Rock Climb}}, and the Continent Pokémon slams down its claws into the ground making a rock pillar lift Electivire into the air before charging at it. As Torterra climbs up the pillar, Volkner has Electivire use {{m|Ice Punch}} and the attack makes a clean hit. Torterra being {{2t|Ground|Grass}} type, gets frozen quite easily and is blasted back to the ground. The utter power manages to take Torterra out, leaving it [[fainting|unable to battle]]. Brock realizes that Volkner taught Electivire to use Ice Punch to help it against Ground-type Pokémon like Torterra, while Volkner congratulates Ash on his strategy of using Energy Ball in combination with Leaf Storm. Ash recalls Torterra thanking it for trying its best, and decides to send {{AP|Pikachu}} up against Electivire next. Pikachu enters the battlefield and gets ready...

At Sunyshore Tower, Team Rocket are having a lot of trouble even getting past the doors. Finally, after a lot of effort, they finally force it open, only for an ever stronger door to slam down. Jessie notes that getting inside was much easier before, and wonders what changed. Meowth points out that a new security system must have been installed after they stole the tower.
