During the second match of Group H in the [[Silver Conference]], [[Macy]] faces off against [[Vincent|Jackson]], the group's third competitor. Though Macy is ready, Jackson is more prepared to showboat than {{pkmn|battle}}, saying hello to {{jo|Marina|Dani}} and {{jo|Jimmy|Yoshi}} to one of the stadium cameras. The three-on-three match gets well underway, and soon it is down to a winner-takes-all situation with Macy's {{p|Quilava}} and Jackson's {{p|Poliwhirl}} battling for the victory. Jackson's showboating gets the better of him, as he trips over his cape issuing orders to Poliwhirl, leaving Poliwhirl standing as it takes a {{m|Flamethrower}}. This, combined with a Starmie {{m|Thunderbolt}} from an earlier round, seals the match for Macy. As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} watches from the stands, {{an|Brock}} notes that Macy saved herself from elimination by winning, which also means that Ash and Macy are tied at the top of Group H. He adds that Ash will only need a tie against Jackson in order to advance, while Jackson must win outright to force a three-way tie. Noting this, Brock also mentions that a second tiebreaker round-robin would be needed should Jackson win outright. | During the second match of Group H in the [[Silver Conference]], [[Macy]] faces off against [[Vincent|Jackson]], the group's third competitor.

Back at the Athlete's Village, {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} are rekindling their old friendship outside, as everyone else walks inside the [[Pokémon Center]]. Ash suddenly overhears a familiar voice, and he turns to see his next opponent, Jackson talking to [[Professor Elm]]. Ash interrupts the conversation, and Elm informs the group that {{AP|Larvitar}} is happy with {{p|Tyranitar|its mother}}.

Ash interrupts the conversation, and Elm informs the group that {{AP|Larvitar}} is happy with {{p|Tyranitar|its mother}}. As they exchange pleasantries, Jackson explains that Professor Elm had given him {{p|Chikorita}}, his [[first partner Pokémon]], and that it had only recently [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}. Asking why Meganium wasn't entered, Jackson admits that he thought that it would have been better for him to save Meganium for the victory rounds, which, in retrospect, was a mistake. | ||
Back outside, the Bulbasaur and Squirtle see an apple from a tree, which Bulbasaur tries to grab. At the same time, a Meganium, accompanied by an {{p|Azumarill}}, also see the same apple. The two {{t|Grass}} Pokémon get into a heated tug-of-war over the apple, splitting it in half. As the two Water-types receive their halves, Azumarill throws its piece towards Squirtle, hitting it in the face and knocking away the other half of the apple. As Meganium and Azumarill laugh at Squirtle's misfortunes, Squirtle's short-tempered side rears itself. Putting on its [[Squirtle Squad]] glasses, Squirtle prepares to pick a fight with the two, only to be restrained by Bulbasaur. As Bulbasaur tries to apologize, Azumarill slaps it in the face, bringing out Squirtle's anger once again. Bulbasaur easily shakes it off and tries once more to restrain Squirtle. As the two leave, Meganium's vine latches onto Bulbasaur, tripping it, and causing Azumarill and Meganium to laugh once again. Now with the better half of the duo also angered, the four Pokémon begin to fight each other. Inside, the catch-up with Elm ends when everyone hears that a Pokémon brawl is happening outside, with Bulbasaur and Meganium involved. Ash and Jackson figure that their Pokémon are involved, and rush out. Seeing their Pokémon grappling, they try in vain to quell the fighting. Only when {{jo|Harrison}} appears with {{p|Miltank}} does the fighting stop, by way of {{m|Heal Bell}}. As both Ash and Jackson thank Harrison for breaking up the fight, [[Officer Jenny]] arrives to see what the commotion was about, and warns that any brawls could get their Pokémon's Trainers disqualified. Harrison covers for Ash and Jackson, saying that the four Pokémon were only practicing against each other, with {{Gary}} appearing to back up Harrison's claim. With Officer Jenny gone, Gary and Ash exchange a bit of trash talk, before Gary leaves. | Back outside, the Bulbasaur and Squirtle see an apple from a tree, which Bulbasaur tries to grab.
