Volkner sends out his first Pokémon, {{p|Luxray}} and Ash responds by sending out {{AP|Grotle}}, a good match for an {{t|Electric}} type and with that the battle begins. | ||
Ash has Grotle start off with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. However, Luxray is able to easily dodge and strikes back with {{m|Spark}}. While a hard hit, luckily Grotle has defense and type on its side. Ash has Grotle try another Razor Leaf when suddenly the Gym's power goes out. Volkner makes sure that there's nothing wrong with the Gym itself, and with the lights gone and the Robotic Referee out of commission the Gym Battle is canceled. The gang then decide to head to the [[Pokémon Center]] to find out what's happened. | Ash has Grotle start off with {{m|Razor Leaf}}.

In the Pokémon Center, Flint's cycling experience is not failing him. Brock's energy is flagging but instantly gets a second wind when Nurse Joy encourages him, and manages to surpass Flint in the amount of power being generated. | In the Pokémon Center, Flint's cycling experience is not failing him.

Pikachu and Raichu attempt to use Thunderbolt and Thunder against the two Pokémon but once again the energy is redirected to power the tower and Pikachu and Raichu are already exhausted from the power drain when Seviper and Carnivine attack, allowing them to gain the upper hand. Ash sends out Grotle and it is able to use {{m|Tackle}} to send Seviper and Carnivine flying back. Ash orders a Razor Leaf to follow up, when Grotle starts to [[Evolution|evolve]]! Becoming much larger and more powerful, Grotle evolves into {{AP|Torterra}} to Ash's delight.

Suddenly, instead of using Razor Leaf, Torterra uses a new attack, which Volkner identifies as {{m|Leaf Storm}}. Using this, it sends Seviper and Carnivine flying back to Jessie and James who aren't impressed and attempt to send their Pokémon back into battle. Ash decides to wrap things up once and for all and has Torterra use Leaf Storm again. With the powerful {{type|Grass}} move, Team Rocket is sent blasting out of the tower and away. | ||
Unfortunately this causes a hole in the tower and air starts to rush out of it. Ash, Pikachu and Raichu cling on to Torterra for dear life and Volkner takes the controls in order to return Sunyshore Tower to its correct location, sealing the hole with an emergency bulkhead. In the Pokémon Center Brock starts to tire again but manages to keep going with Nurse Joy's encouragement, when the back-up generator finally comes online (to the cheers of everyone working on it).

Although it is difficult, Volkner is able to get control of the tower and with Pikachu, Raichu, and Luxray powering it with their Electric attacks, he manages to avoid the Pokémon Center and is able to return the tower back to its original position. With the tower returned, the power is restored to the whole city much to everyone's delight. | ||
Outside Sunyshore Gym, Volkner regretfully tells Ash that although Sunyshore Tower is back, both the tower and the Gym have sustained serious damage. They're both going to take quite a while to repair and until they are both back up to speed the Gym battle will have to be postponed. Ash isn't too disappointed, as he knows getting the {{Badge|Beacon}} won't be easy as Volkner is clearly a very tough Gym Leader to defeat, and he can use the extra time to train. | Outside Sunyshore Gym, Volkner regretfully tells Ash that although Sunyshore Tower is back, both the tower and the Gym have sustained serious damage.

Besides, he isn't leaving Sunyshore City empty-handed as he now has a powerhouse on his team with Torterra. Brock congratulates Ash on Grotle's evolution, and Dawn looks up Torterra in her Pokédex. And so, bidding Volkner and Flint farewell and leaving Sunyshore City behind for the moment, the gang head for [[Valor Lakefront]] so Dawn can compete in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival|Grand Festival]]. | ||
