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

Team Rocket huddles at Ash's feet, thanking him for saving them; and Kaburagi takes the opportunity to retrieve the Dragon Fang from James. Clair begs Dragonite to recognize her and stop her 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|Whirlwind}} that forces Dragonair to dispel its 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 her to attack everything she sees in a berserk fury.

Realizing that they need to battle Dragonite to snap her out of her confusion, Ash has {{AP|Pikachu}} try a {{m|Thunder}} attack; unfortunately, Dragonite dashes up and knocks him down before he can attack. Ash catches Pikachu and is in turn saved from Dragonite's attack by Charizard. Ash again tries to talk Dragonite down, asking her to listen to the cries of the wild Pokémon around her, but the maddened {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[type]] is unmoved. Kaburagi declares that Dragonite entered the attack rage in response to something terrible, forcing James to admit his attempt to steal the Prayer Flame. As Misty's Politoed puts out the flames around the Dragon Shrine, Clair leaves Kaburagi in charge of restoring the shrine, while she tries to think of a way to stop Dragonite's rampage.

Meanwhile, Charizard and Dragonite face off over the lake. Charizard opens with a Flamethrower, knocking Dragonite into the water. Dragonite emerges unharmed and fires a Hyper Beam at Ash, but Dragonair intercepts the attack with {{m|Safeguard}}. Clair arrives and asks Ash to work with her in order to stop Dragonite. When Ash agrees, Clair has Dragonair use {{m|Bind}} to cut Dragonite off; when the fully-evolved dragon breaks free, Charizard and Dragonair blast it with Flamethrower and Hyper Beam. Even this combination attack fails to slow Dragonite down, and it quickly evades and counters Dragonair's second attempt at a Hyper Beam. Ash has Charizard use {{m|Seismic Toss}}, but Dragonite dodges and hurls Charizard into the woods. As Charizard returns to the air, ready for another round, Clair realizes that Dragonite is too powerful for any one attack to work.

Ash has Charizard use {{m|Seismic Toss}}, but Dragonite dodges and hurls Charizard into the woods. As Charizard returns to the air, ready for another round, Clair realizes that Dragonite is too powerful for any single attack to work.


Trying a different approach, Clair orders Dragonair to summon thunder clouds while Charizard keeps Dragonite busy. Another Whirlwind blown by the latter forces Liza and Charla to land their balloon, now carrying Brock and the evacuated [[wild Pokémon]]. After a moment, lightning begins striking Dragonite, and Pikachu soon adds a Thunder attack to pin the Dragon Pokémon down. Despite the shocking assault, Dragonite tries to break free with Hyper Beam. In response, Ash has Charizard use {{m|Fire Spin}} to contain the attack. The energy of the Hyper Beam is thus reflected and turned back on Dragonite itself; nonetheless, the furious Pokémon attempts another Hyper Beam. This time, the combined attacks explode in Dragonite's face, sending her plummeting into the water.

As everyone regroups and holds their breath, Dragonite emerges from the water in a flash. Assuming the worst, Ash prepares to have Pikachu launch another Thunder attack, but Clair tells him to wait, and shortly after, Dragonite's attack rage finally subsides. Having regained her conscious state, Dragonite weeps over the damage she caused to her beloved Holy Land. As she is consoled by the other Pokémon living in the area, Misty and Kaburagi order Team Rocket to leave. Although the trio does so without protest, Kaburagi quickly realizes that they have taken the Dragon Fang from the box. One Thunderbolt attack later, and the Dragon Fang slips from James's hand as Team Rocket blasts off. Ash recovers the Dragon Fang, while Geodude places the Prayer Flame back in the Dragon Shrine.

Later, back at the [[Blackthorn Gym]], Ash and Clair agree to start a new Gym battle the next day, as Charizard gives Ash a 'lucky' Flamethrower to the face.
