After his battle against {{EF|Flint}}, {{Ash}} is more than ready for his Gym battle against [[Volkner]]. With {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Dawn}} and Flint watching from the stands (and the [[Proprietor]] watching the battle on TV from his bar), the Robotic Referee announces the rules; the battle will be three-on-three with only the challenger allowed to substitute their Pokémon. Volkner sends out his first Pokémon, [[Volkner#Luxray|Luxray]] and Ash responds by sending out {{AP|Grotle}}, a good match for an {{t|Electric}} type and with that the battle begins.

Ash has Grotle start off with {{m|Razor Leaf}}, however Luxray is able to easily dodge and strikes back with {{m|Spark}}. While a hard hit, luckily Grotle has defense and type on its side. Ash has Grotle try another Razor Leaf when suddenly the Gym's power goes out. Volkner makes sure that there's nothing wrong with the Gym itself, and with the lights gone and the Robotic Referee out of commission the Gym Battle is canceled. The gang then decide to head to the [[Pokémon Center]] to find out what's happened.
