Ash sends out Infernape. Electivire and Infernape have a long standing rivalry, even from the {{p|Chimchar}}-{{p|Elekid}} days. [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} are busy stuffing their faces, watching this intense battle, when they should be selling the food. Electivire starts things out with a ThunderPunch and Infernape counters with {{m|Mach Punch}}, and the two attacks collide and neutralize each other. Infernape uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, which is blocked by Electivire's {{m|Protect}}. Electivire uses {{m|Thunder}} to create a [[Counter Shield]] around the battlefield, but Infernape uses {{m|Dig}} to travel underground and avoid the attack. Infernape surfaces below Electivire and hits it dead-on, but then takes damage from the {{DL|Status ailment|poison}} it received earlier. Electivire manages to stand up. After yet another blocked Flamethrower, Infernape and Electivire start attacking with Mach Punch and ThunderPunch, respectively continuously. They both each land an attack before another Flamethrower by Infernape is blocked by Electivire's Protect. Ash instructs Infernape to use Mach Punch, but Electivire dodges it and wraps its tail around Infernape's arm. Reggie still watching the battle pleads Ash not to fall for that trick again. It uses Thunder while Infernape is connected to it, causing more damage than a normal Thunder attack. It continues to use Thunder on Infernape for a long time. | Ash sends out Infernape.

Infernape collapses to the ground when Electivire finally lets it go. As it has taken a severe beating throughout the match. The gang, {{an|Barry}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and | Infernape collapses to the ground when Electivire finally lets it go. As it has taken a severe beating throughout the match. The gang, {{an|Barry}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TRT}} are all desperate for Infernape to get up but it appears to have been too much. The [[battle judge|referee]] begins to declare Infernape unable to battle... when Electivire interrupts him, knowing that Infernape still has the ability to fight and wants to finish the battle properly. Paul tells Infernape that he thought it had gotten stronger, but once again all it has managed to do is disappoint him before he turns away as if to leave... | ||
Infernape suddenly regains its senses and Ash responds to Paul 'fraid not!'. Much to everyone's (except Ash's) surprise, Infernape stands, and Ash declares that it's time to show Paul just how strong Infernape has become as it activates its {{a|Blaze}}. Reggie realizes Ash must have wanted that Mach Punch thrown earlier to miss on purpose so he can have Infernape unlock its true power. Ash orders a Flamethrower, and Infernape fires a super-powerful blast at Electivire who tries to hold it back with Thunder but can't stand up to the sheer power. Ash then has Infernape use Mach Punch which hits and sends Electivire flying but it still lands on its feet. Now both fully absorbed in the intensity of the match, Paul screams for a ThunderPunch while Ash orders Infernape to use {{m|Flare Blitz}}. The two Pokémon, battling to the limits of their power, land their attacks against the other which creates a maelstrom of fire and electricity streaming into the sky, illuminating the stadium. Eventually Infernape ends up on the other side of Electivire, feeling the recoil from Flare Blitz, causing its fiery crown to do severe damage Electivire, after a delayed reaction, feels the force of the power attack. The smoke clears, but Electivire is still standing and the two Pokémon stare each other down... as do their trainers as a deathly silence falls over the battlefield. The two Pokémon remain perfectly still for what feels like an eternity... until, finally, Electivire falls and is declared as being unable to continue, making Ash the victor of this truly intense battle. Dawn, Piplup and Barry scream out in elation for Ash's victorious win over Paul while Brock is overwhelmingly pleased. | Infernape suddenly regains its senses and Ash responds to Paul 'fraid not!'.

Dawn, Piplup and Barry scream out in elation for Ash's victorious win over Paul while Brock is overwhelmingly pleased. Team Rocket is elated Ash won, leaving Jessie happy and James in tears. Then, they remembered they accidentally ate all the food, while during the battle. Paul thanks Electivire for its hard work. As Paul is about to say something, Infernape almost fell but got held by Ash. Paul walks away relieved and the pairing results for the next battle come up, pairing Ash with the mysterious [[Tobias]] and {{p|Darkrai|his Darkrai}}. Tobias saw the screen and walked away. Back in [[Veilstone City]], Reggie delivers the news to Paul's other Pokémon, who are sad Paul lost but happy that he gave it his all. | ||
Later, Brock and Dawn are walking outside and run into Barry, where they are all looking for Ash. Then, [[Cynthia]] comes forward, and Barry is awestruck at being face-to-face with the Champion. Cynthia explains that although Ash and Paul are very different people and may never truly be friends, all their time feuding and battling with each other has created a bond between them that can never be broken. Both have learnt a lot from each other and have both become far stronger as a result... | Later, Brock and Dawn are walking outside and run into Barry, where they are all looking for Ash.
