Ash decides to stop Team Rocket, but Jessie has Arbok use {{m|Poison Sting}} on Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}. However, the woman has her {{p|Alakazam}} use {{m|Reflect}} to block the attack. She scolds Team Rocket, warning them to never return. Alakazam uses its {{m|Psychic}} to seal the mechanical Rhydon's mouth shut while another Smog attack is fired, subsequently filling Team Rocket's control cabin with smog. Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}}, who uses {{m|Take Down}} on the robot. In the confusion, James inadvertently presses one of the buttons, causing Arbok to use {{m|Acid}}, which tears a hole in the Rhydon robot. Charizard responds with {{m|Flamethrower}}, which overloads the robot's machinery, causing it to explode and send Team Rocket flying.

The woman introduces herself as [[Luana]], the final member of the Orange Crew, and a local hotelier whose hotel includes a workout Gym and an indoor Pokémon stadium. Ash and his friends are invited to stay in her hotel's most exquisite suite free of charge, and they agree on a [[Double Battle]], to be held the next day, for the final Orange League Badge. In the match, both leader and challenger will use two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} simultaneously, and the match ends when the first Pokémon is unable to battle, wherein the opposing team are declared the winners. While in the hotel's hot spring, Ash and Tracey discuss strategies. Ash is committed to have Pikachu battle, but Tracey surmises that Alakazam will battle. Lacking any {{t|Ghost}} or {{t|Bug}} types that could deal an effective blow, Ash ponders who else could stand up to Alakazam's power.

The next day, the battle begins, with Luana sending out Alakazam and {{p|Marowak}} against Pikachu and Charizard. However, it is revealed that before the match began, Pikachu and Charizard developed a grudge with one another following an innocuous stomp by Charizard that knocked Pikachu over. [[Sheldon]] calls for the match to begin and Pikachu rushes towards his opponents. However, Charizard's {{m|Flamethrower}} manages to hit Pikachu, burning the Mouse Pokémon's tail. Ash commands Charizard try to use {{m|Tackle}} on Alakazam. However, Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}} stops Charizard midair. As a result, Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder Shock}}, but the attack hits Charizard instead. Ash scolds Pikachu, but the small Pokemon shrugs at his concerns.

As a result, Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder Shock}}, but the attack hits Charizard instead. Ash scolds Pikachu, but the small Pokemon shrugs at his concerns.


After momentarily watching on as Charizard takes successive {{m|Bonemerang}} and Psychic attacks, Pikachu Thunder Shocks Alakazam, freeing Charizard from its Psychic. Luana has Marowak use {{m|Body Slam}} on Pikachu, but Charizard manages to catch Pikachu with its wing. With the two now willing to cooperate, Charizard {{m|Fly|flies}} with Pikachu on its back, allowing Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Marowak, disrupting its concentration. Meanwhile, Charizard continues to fly towards Alakazam, who prepares to land a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at point-blank range. When Charizard pulls up at the last minute, Alakazam is hit with Marowak's wayward Bonemerang attack, sending it and the charged Hyper Beam backwards. Much to Luana's shock, the Hyper Beam hits Marowak. Sheldon checks the two Pokémon and reveals they have been knocked out, earning Ash the victory.

After Ash receives the {{Badge|Jade Star}} for the victory, Luana tells Ash that he is finally able to compete in the [[Orange League]] against the [[Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader]] for the [[Winner's Trophy]]. Leaving Kumquat Island, Luana tells Ash that if he encounters Travis, he should deliver him a warm message from home. Ash and his friends sail away on {{AP|Lapras}}'s back, waving to Luana and her hotel staff. Elsewhere, Team Rocket's cries for help remain unanswered and they are forced to wait out at sea on the remains of their Robo-Rhydon.
