Ash decides to send in Pikachu, surprising the senior students and Roxanne. Undeterred, Pikachu starts by destroying the rock field with {{m|Thunder}}. Meanwhile, Team Rocket begins their plan to tunnel into the Gym and stealing Pikachu by shoveling by hand — as [[James]] notes, this would save them money because they waste so much with their more elaborate schemes. Back at the battle, though Pikachu has destroyed the field, he has yet to damage Geodude. Roxanne notes that it allows Geodude greater maneuverability, and better use of {{m|Rock Throw}}. Pikachu dodges the rocks with {{m|Quick Attack}}, but takes a Mega Punch. When Roxanne tries to use Rollout to finish Pikachu off, though, Geodude gets stuck on the softer battlefield, making an opening for Pikachu to get close with Quick Attack and get the knockout with Thunder. Roxanne admits that Ash has talent, as Geodude had never been knocked out by an {{type|Electric}} attack alone. | Ash decides to send in Pikachu, surprising the senior students and Roxanne.

Roxanne calls out her {{TP|Roxanne|Nosepass}}, a Pokémon unfamiliar to Ash. Pikachu starts off with Iron Tail, which makes its mark, but when Pikachu tries to use it again, it fails. Nosepass responds with a {{m|Rock Tomb}}, trapping Pikachu in boulders. However, Pikachu breaks free with Thunder. Nosepass | Roxanne calls out her {{TP|Roxanne|Nosepass}}, a Pokémon unfamiliar to Ash. Pikachu starts off with Iron Tail, which makes its mark, but when Pikachu tries to use it again, it fails. Nosepass responds with a {{m|Rock Tomb}}, trapping Pikachu in boulders. However, Pikachu breaks free with Thunder. Nosepass uses {{m|Sandstorm}}, making Pikachu unable to find Nosepass, and allowing Nosepass to pin Pikachu to the battlefield. Pikachu soon escapes, and manages to evade another Rock Tomb with a Quick Attack. Pikachu runs circles around Nosepass in an attempt to disorient it, which allows another shot with Iron Tail. However, the move fails yet again. Brock notes that Pikachu is too worn out from running around, and thus does not have the time to store up energy for a successful Iron Tail. Nosepass tries to finish off Pikachu with {{m|Zap Cannon}}, but Pikachu dodges in time. The attack, however, hits James' shovel as it breaks through the Gym floor, shocking Team Rocket and sending them flying out of their tunnel. | ||
While Ash ponders how Nosepass could use an Electric attack, Roxanne tells him that Zap Cannon was inspired by Ash's own strategy of keeping a surprise attack - as was the case with Pikachu and Iron Tail. Pikachu, however, though exhausted, can still battle. Anticipating another Iron Tail, Nosepass uses Zap Cannon again, to which Ash tells Pikachu to take the hit head-on. As he is low on power, the Zap Cannon recharges Pikachu instead, paralyzing Nosepass and allowing it to be struck by another Iron Tail. This time, Iron Tail is successful, and Nosepass is knocked out. This earns Ash the match victory and the {{Badge|Stone}}. | While Ash ponders how Nosepass could use an Electric attack, Roxanne tells him that Zap Cannon was inspired by Ash's own strategy of keeping a surprise attack - as was the case with Pikachu and Iron Tail.
