The [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] continues as the teams of {{Ash}} and [[Paul]], {{an|Dawn}} and [[Conway]], and {{an|Brock}} and [[Holly]] advance to the second round. During the night, Ash {{pkmn|training|trains}} with {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}}, having {{AP|Staravia}} use {{m|Aerial Ace}}. {{AP|Aipom}}, {{AP|Turtwig}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}} dodge the attack with the spinning maneuver [[DP017|Dawn taught them before]]. Staravia then notices a blast of energy nearby. Meanwhile, Brock offers his help to [[Nurse Joy]] at the [[Pokémon Center]], who is overwhelmed with all of the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who need their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} healed. After talking with Conway for a bit, Dawn and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} run off to find Ash.

The explosive energy that Staravia spotted earlier was [[Paul's Chimchar]] taking several attacks from {{cat|Paul's Pokémon|Paul's other Pokémon}}. {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} uses {{m|Thunder}}, {{TP|Paul|Murkrow}} uses {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} uses {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} uses {{m|Focus Blast}}. The tidal wave of attacks converges as Chimchar uses {{m|Flame Wheel}} to defend itself. Ash notices the brutal training as Chimchar unleashes {{m|Flamethrower}}, hits him and makes him fall down. {{TRT}} watches nearby as Ash gets up, complimenting Chimchar's power. Paul calls Chimchar back for more training as Ash questions Paul's aggressive tactics, just before Dawn arrives. Paul brushes him off as he reveals his intention to get his Pokémon exposed to powerful {{pkmn|battle}}s. Dawn scolds Paul for his selfish goals, but he brushes her and Ash off, mentioning that he needed Chimchar to be struck by the {{m|Surf}} attack from [[DP050|their previous battle]] to get stronger by improving its weak points. Ash tells him that he should instead be trying to raise Chimchar's strong points, but Paul mentions that it is a waste of time, and, to Dawn and Ash's surprise, that this is exactly what Chimchar wants. Ash, believing this is the hard way, tries to convince Chimchar that there are better ways to improve, but Paul and his team walk away, so Chimchar must follow. After hearing this exchange, Team Rocket wants to take Chimchar for themselves to get the {{DL|Held item|Soothe Bell}}.

Paul continues training Chimchar as it dodges Ursaring's {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Torterra then fires {{m|Leaf Storm}} and Chimchar gets caught in it, after which Murkrow executes a {{m|Sky Attack}}. Paul tells Chimchar to counter with Flamethrower, but it cannot bring itself to and falls down after taking the hit from Sky Attack. Paul orders Chimchar to stand up, and it tries to, but it is too weak from all the damage it's taken and collapses. Paul orders Elekid to use Thunder on it, but Pikachu rushes in with {{m|Volt Tackle}} to protect Chimchar. Elekid charges for another attack, but Ash and Dawn rush in to take Chimchar to the Pokémon Center. At the Center, Brock treats Chimchar, and his talent impresses Holly. Brock steps out and mentions that Chimchar needs rest, before confronting Paul about his harsh and unusual training methods. Although Paul is reluctant to reply at first, he starts talking after Brock explains that he is asking for Chimchar's sake rather than Ash's.
