In the air, Clair and company have spotted the same lake, prompting Kaburagi to wonder if Dragonite would take Team Rocket to the Dragon Shrine. When Ash questions Kaburagi about the Dragon Shrine, the old man explains that it was built long ago to represent hope for harmony between humans and Pokémon. Within the shrine lies the Prayer Flame, a symbol of the eventual peace between humans and Pokémon; despite being lit over 500 years ago, it remains strong to this day. Unbeknownst to the heroes, Team Rocket is sneaking into the shrine while Dragonite sleeps, planning to raid it of its valuables. They come upon the golden bowl containing the Prayer Flame and resolve to steal it, only for [[James]] to insist that they take it as is reasoning that it's probably worth more if the flame is still lit. However, the bowl's heat burns right through his gloves, causing him to hurl the flame out of the shrine. [[Jessie]] and Meowth curse James's clumsiness, but they soon realize that they have bigger problems; the fallen flame has set the landscape ablaze. Dragonite notices this, and turns on Team Rocket with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, even as the flame burns out of control.

After dodging several attacks, Jessie uses {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s {{m|Counter}} attack to reflect one of Dragonite's Hyper Beams back at her. However, the {{pkmn|category|Dragon Pokémon}} has no choice to use {{m|Outrage}}. 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}}. 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 {{status|confusion|confused}} after performing its move too many times, 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 is using Outrage 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.
