Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is trying to dig a tunnel to reach the [[Dragon Holy Land]] and steal the [[Dragon Fang]]. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are beginning to question when they will reach their target. {{MTR}} glances at his map and orders his teammates to strike the section above them. However, water begins to pour in and Meowth quickly realizes that they have been digging directly under a lake. The lake water starts flooding into the tunnel, washing Team Rocket away.

Back at the Gym, Clair sends out {{p|Gyarados}} as her second Pokémon. Clair orders Gyarados to use Hydro Pump, while Snorlax uses Hyper Beam. However, Snorlax is starting to tire out, causing Gyarados's Hydro Pump to overpower its Hyper Beam. Gyarados then uses {{m|Dragon Breath}}, and as Snorlax is still in the middle of {{DL|Status condition|recharging}}, it is unable to counter the attack. As such, the Dragon Breath lands a direct hit on Snorlax, {{status|paralysis|paralyzing}} it and preventing it from moving. After taking a Hyper Beam, Snorlax finally faints. Ash decides to use {{AP|Pikachu}} next in the hopes that its {{t|Electric}} typing will overcome Gyarados. Clair has Gyarados use Hyper Beam, but Pikachu avoids the attack before slamming into Gyarados with {{m|Quick Attack}}. Clair is momentarily surprised by Pikachu's {{stat|speed}} but quickly orders Gyarados to use {{m|Bite}}. Pikachu avoids the attack before retaliating with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, Gyarados uses Dragon Breath to form a barrier that blocks the incoming attack. Gyarados follows up with a Hydro Pump, which Pikachu tries to dodge, but gets grazed by it and is knocked down to the ground. In a surprising maneuver, Gyarados leaps out of the water and starts squeezing Pikachu in a tight wrap. This, however, allows Pikachu to land a close-range Thunderbolt on Gyarados, dealing notable damage on the [[Pokémon category|Atrocious Pokémon]] before it can move away. Gyarados tries to use Bite, but Pikachu dodges the large jaws before finding himself trapped in a corner. Gyarados attempts to finish Pikachu off with a Hydro Pump, but Ash has Pikachu use Agility to race up the torrent to get into point-blank-range of Gyarados's face, before delivering another close-range Thunderbolt, knocking Gyarados out.

Underground, Team Rocket takes a snack break as their latest [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] digs a tunnel for them instead. The mecha soon detects signs of the Dragon Fang and they surface, but instead of the Dragon Holy Land, they discover themselves near the Blackthorn Gym. They spot Charla sleeping nearby, and, after examining her, they realize that the mecha mistook her fangs for the Dragon Fang. Charla suddenly wakes up and, clearly disliking her sleep getting disturbed, proceeds to send Team Rocket blasting off again with a {{m|Flamethrower}}. In the process, the trio drops their bag of food, which is taken away by {{an|Wynaut|an unseen Pokémon}}.

In the Gym, Ash and Clair's match continues as Clair sends out her final and strongest Pokémon: {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}}. Pikachu repeatedly uses Thunderbolt, but Dragonair keeps dodging them all. Misty, Brock, and Liza wonder what Ash is up to, as Electric [[move]]s don't work well against {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon. However, Ash's intentions suddenly become apparent as Dragonair dives close to the ground as it dodges the attacks, giving Pikachu a chance to use Quick Attack. Dragonair once again evades the attack and knocks Pikachu out with a Hyper Beam. After picking Pikachu up, Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}} as his final Pokémon. [[Kaburagi]] pulls a lever, opening the [[Gym]] roof so that the two Pokémon can use their flying abilities to their fullest. Charizard attacks with Flamethrower, but Dragonair dives underwater to avoid the attack before countering with Hyper Beam. Charizard uses Flamethrower again, but once again, Dragonair dives into the water. Clair then has Dragonair use {{m|Dragon Rage}}, engulfing Charizard in a cyclone that smashes it down to the ground. Ash urges Charizard to stand up, and it does so, before attacking with yet another Flamethrower, which is yet again avoided by Dragonair diving underwater. Dragonair attacks with Hyper Beam, while Ash has Charizard use {{m|Fire Spin}} to block the attack. Misty, Brock, and Liza understand that Dragonair can use the water to its advantage, giving it an edge in the fight. Ash issues yet another command for a Flamethrower, prompting Clair to repeat the now common order for Dragonair to dive underwater. However, Ash then changes his attack order into a full-power Fire Spin. Ash's intentions are finally revealed when the Fire Spin evaporates the remaining pool water, leaving Dragonair without a place to hide.

Charizard attacks with Flamethrower, but Dragonair blocks it with {{m|Safeguard}} before striking Charizard with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Clair orders another Iron Tail, but this time, Charizard intercepts the attack and grabs Dragonair, preparing to use {{m|Seismic Toss}}. As Charizard is building up momentum, Dragonair uses Dragon Rage to disrupt Charizard, causing it to crash hard into the ground. Despite the heavy landing, Charizard is still able to stand up. After an exchange of Hyper Beam and Flamethrower, Dragonair rushes in for another Iron Tail, but once again, Charizard grabs Dragonair and goes for another Seismic Toss. Once again, Clair has Dragonair use Dragon Rage, but this time, Charizard adds its Fire Spin to the mix, engulfing both Pokémon in flames and turning Seismic Toss into a "Flaming Seismic Toss". The combo attack slams into the Gym floor with a devastating force. As the flames die down, Dragonair faints and Ash is declared the winner of the match. Clair [[recall]]s Dragonair and congratulates Ash on his victory before handing him the {{badge|Rising}}. Ash, ecstatic of having just won his eighth [[Badge]], performs a victory pose with Pikachu.

Later, Liza heads back to [[Charicific Valley]] with Charla and Charizard, and everyone waves her goodbye as she sets off into the sunset.
