Next up, Jackson calls out his Shiny Magneton. After exchanging Thunderbolts, Ash attempts a Quick Attack. Though Magneton dodges and uses {{m|Thunder Wave}}, holding Pikachu down. Finally, Jackson ends it all with a {{m|Tri Attack}}. Pikachu is hurled right into a wall and is out for the count. Sending out Cyndaquil, as Brock remarks that Magneton, as a {{type|Steel}}, would have the disadvantage. After exchanging a Thunderbolt and a {{m|Flamethrower}}, Cyndaquil manages to use a {{m|Smokescreen}}. The haze of thick smoke leaves obscures Magneton’s view, and Cyndaquil lands a {{m|Swift}} attack on it. Ash orders another Flamethrower, but Jackson has Magneton enter into an evasive {{m|Double Team}}. Cyndaquil finds itself surrounded, but before it can act, Magneton lashes it with a Thunder Wave. Jackson calls for a Tri Attack, and Cyndaquil is knocked out.

Now down to his last Pokémon, Ash brings out Bulbasaur. Jackson begins with a Thunderbolt, which Bulbasaur counters with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Magneton evades with Double Team. Bulbasaur avoids the same Thunder Wave and Tri Attack combination that defeated Pikachu and Cyndaquil by using a spinning {{m|Vine Whip}} to mow down the afterimages. The vine soon connects and swats Magneton aside. Nevertheless, Jackson attempts the winning combo again, but Thunder Wave is blocked by a last-minute Razor Leaf, and Vine Whip is used to evade the Tri Attack. Finally, Bulbasaur fires {{m|Leech Seed}} at Magneton, which manages to sap much of its energy. Magneton then falls to the ground due to the energy loss from Leech Seed and Ash uses this chance to order Bulbasaur to use Vine Whip to grab and spin Magneton around. This wraps up the match-up, as Magneton is knocked out.

Bulbasaur and Meganium are now battling for the match, and the prior bad blood is still fresh in their minds. Trading off Razor Leafs and Vine Whips, Meganium appears to be more powerful as some of its Razor Leaves hit its opponent and it manages to throw Bulbasaur while locked in the Vine Whip. Narrowly dodging several {{m|Body Slam}} attempts, Bulbasaur connects on another Razor Leaf. Evading another Meganium Vine Whip with its own Vine Whip, however, allows Meganium to hit Bulbasaur while airborne with a Razor Leaf. However, Bulbasaur manages to evade Meganium's Body Slam and uses another Vine Whip to hook on to Meganium's neck and pelt it with more Razor Leafs. Both slowly get back up and wear each other down by hitting each other in the face with Vine Whips. On the sidelines, Misty wonders why they aren't taking time to evade the attacks, in which Brock explains that the battle may be of pride as well, and thus both are willing to take as much as they are willing to give. As they talk, both Grass types cross counter with their Vine Whip attacks. Getting up one last time, both Pokémon trade off {{m|Solar Beam}}s. The pair emerge standing despite the large explosion. They both smirk at each other before collapsing on the battlefield, forcing the referee to declare a tied result. Despite the draw, both Trainers congratulate each other on a battle well fought, and the rival Grass types also shake vines. With the tie game, Ash officially advances to the victory round from Group H. Macy, also in the audience, also cheers Ash on, believing he can go all the way.
