In the air, Clair and company have spotted the same lake, prompting Kaburagi to wonder if Dragonite would take Team Rocket to the Dragon Shrine. When Ash questions Kaburagi about the Dragon Shrine, the old man explains that it was built long ago to represent hope for harmony between humans and Pokémon. Within the shrine lies the Prayer Flame, a symbol of the eventual peace between humans and Pokémon; despite being lit over 500 years ago, it remains strong to this day. Unbeknownst to the heroes, Team Rocket is sneaking into the shrine while Dragonite sleeps, planning to raid it of its valuables. They come upon the golden bowl containing the Prayer Flame and resolve to steal it, only for James to insist that they take it as is (reasoning that it's probably worth more if the flame is still lit). However, the bowl's heat burns right through his gloves, causing him to hurl the Flame out of the shrine. Jessie and Meowth curse James' clumsiness, but they soon realize that they have bigger problems; the fallen Flame has set the landscape ablaze. Dragonite notices this, and turns on Team Rocket with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, even as the Flame burns out of control. | In the air, Clair and company have spotted the same lake, prompting Kaburagi to wonder if Dragonite would take Team Rocket to the Dragon Shrine.

After dodging several attacks, Jessie uses {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s {{m|Counter}} to reflect one of Dragonite's Hyper Beams back at it - however, this only seems to make the Dragon Pokémon even angrier. Luckily, Ash and his allies arrive on the scene, with Charizard's {{m|Flamethrower}} saving Team Rocket from another Hyper Beam. Clair sends out {{p|Dragonair}} to put out the raging fire, while Liza, Misty, and Brock (with Charla, {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, and {{TP|Misty|Politoed}}) try to save the Pokémon trapped in the fires. Charizard glares at Dragonite, but Ash reins it in, intent on trying to reason with Dragonite first. | After dodging several attacks, Jessie uses {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s {{m|Counter}} to reflect one of Dragonite's Hyper Beams back at it - however, this only seems to make the Dragon Pokémon even angrier.

Team Rocket huddles at Ash's feet, thanking him for saving them; Kaburagi takes the opportunity to retrieve the Dragon Fang from James. Clair begs Dragonite to recognize her and stop its attack, but to no avail - Dragonite fires a Hyper Beam at her, which is only partially deflected by Charizard's {{m|Flamethrower}}. Although Clair is unharmed, Kaburagi finally realizes why the Pokémon is so unreasonable; he warns Clair that Dragonite is suffering from {{m|Outrage|attack rage}}. As the guardian of the Holy Land unleashes a powerful {{m|Twister}} that forces Dragonair to dispel her rain clouds, Misty asks Clair about Kaburagi's statement. The Blackthorn Gym Leader explains that Dragonite has become confused after performing too many consecutive attacks, causing it to attack everything it sees in a berserk fury. | Team Rocket huddles at Ash's feet, thanking him for saving them; Kaburagi takes the opportunity to retrieve the Dragon Fang from James.

* During this episode, with Charizard's arrival, Ash technically has seven Pokémon on hand, one more than the allowed six a Trainer can carry. However, it is possible that Charizard was nominally under Liza's ownership until Ash was able to officially swap one of his Pokémon out for Charizard in time for the Gym Battle. | * During this episode, with Charizard's arrival, Ash technically has seven Pokémon on hand, one more than the allowed six a Trainer can carry.

* Dragonair makes it rain hard enough to put out the weakest sections of the raging fire, yet the rain does not extinguish Charizard and Charla's tail flames, once again proving that Charizard's flames are more resistant to water than Charmander's. | |||

* Dragonair's {{m|Safeguard}} appears to neutralize Dragonite's Hyper Beam, when it should only protect against status changes. However, this is consistent with other portrayals of Safeguard in the anime. | * Dragonair's {{m|Safeguard}} appears to neutralize Dragonite's Hyper Beam, when it should only protect against status changes.
