 ==Plot==
-{{Ash}} and [[Clair]] are standing on separate sides of a huge lake with floating platforms spread around it; it is the planned battlefield for Ash and Clair. It is a three-on-three match. The battle then begins. Ash starts off with {{AP|Snorlax}} which is a big surprise for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}. Clair counters with {{p|Kingdra}}.
+{{Ash}} and [[Clair]] are standing inside the [[Blackthorn Gym]], preparing to start their [[rematch]], which will be a three-on-three {{pkmn|battle}}. Unsurprisingly, Clair chooses to start out with {{p|Kingdra}}, while Ash leads off with {{AP|Snorlax}}, surprising Clair. Ash explains that he had went to the [[Pokémon Center]] the day before and changed his Pokémon around. Ash starts the battle with Snorlax's {{m|Hyper Beam}}, which Clair counters with Kingdra's {{m|Agility}}. Kingdra tries to hit Snorlax, but just bounces off of its bulky body. Clair has Kingdra use {{m|Swift}}, but the attack once again just harmlessly bounces off of Snorlax. Ash tries to use Snorlax's {{m|Body Slam}}, but Kingdra dodges it with Agility. Kingdra hits Snorlax again, but once again, Snorlax is left undamaged. Clair notes that her attacks aren't working against Snorlax's big body, and has Kingdra use {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Ash tells Snorlax to dodge the attack, but it is unable to, and is hit. Clair orders another Hyper Beam, which Snorlax avoids it by diving into the pool they're battling on. Ash congratulates Snorlax on its quick thinking. Ash orders another Body Slam, but as both Pokémon sink underwater, Snorlax starts weighing less, allowing Kingdra escape the attack without being crushed. Clair tells Kingdra to use Hydro Pump once Snorlax comes up for air. This worries {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, but Ash tells Snorlax to jump out of the water. As Snorlax leaps into the air and Kingdra uses Hydro Pump, Ash orders Snorlax to lean back, and it manages to successfully dodge the attack without getting any [[damage]]. Clair orders Kingdra to use Swift, but Ash tells Snorlax to just take it. Clair orders another Hydro Pump, but it only does a little bit of damage. Kingdra is starting to look tired, and Brock realizes that Ash's plan must be to just wear Kingdra out, as Snorlax has a lot of endurance. Clair orders another Hyper Beam, but Snorlax dodges it once again by going underwater. With Kingdra's stamina starting to run low, Ash orders Snorlax to use {{m|Ice Punch}}, knocking Kingdra out of the match. {{jo|Liza}} then comes in to join Brock and Misty in watching the match. Brock tries to flirt with Liza, but Misty pulls him aside before filling her in on the current situation of the match.
-Ash starts off with Snorlax's {{m|Hyper Beam}} and Clair counters with Kingdra's {{m|Agility}}. Kingdra attacks Snorlax, but it doesn't work. Clair then uses Kingdra's {{m|Swift}}, but that just bounces off again. Ash tries to use Snorlax's {{m|Body Slam}}, but Kingdra dodges with Agility. Kingdra attacks Snorlax again, but again Snorlax is undamaged. Clair notes that these attacks aren't working, so she uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Ash tells Snorlax to dodge it but it is unable to dodge it. Clair orders another Hyper Beam which Snorlax avoided by going under water. Ash congratulates it on its quick thinking. Ash orders a {{m|Body Slam}} but as it goes underwater it weighs much less. Kingdra uses this to its advantage and avoids being crushed. She tells Kingdra to use Hydro Pump once Snorlax comes up for air. This worries Misty and Brock, but Ash tells Snorlax to jump out of the water. It goes up into the air and Kingdra uses Hydro Pump. Ash orders Snorlax to lean back and it manages to successfully dodge the attack. Clair then orders Kingdra to use Swift, but Ash tells Snorlax to just take it. Clair orders another Hydro Pump, but it only does a little bit of damage. Kingdra is also starting to look tired. Brock says that Ash's plan must be to just wear Kingdra out, as Snorlax has a lot of endurance. Clair orders another Hyper Beam, but Snorlax dodges it once again by going underwater. Ash then orders Snorlax to use {{m|Ice Punch}} knocking Kingdra out of the match.
+Meanwhile, {{TRT}} are trying to dig a tunnel to [[Dragon Holy Land]] to steal the [[Dragon Fang]], but when they attempt to surface, water starts pouring in, and {{MTR}} realizes that they've actually been digging under the lake. The lake water starts flooding into the tunnel, washing Team Rocket away.
-Clair recalls Kingdra congratulating it for a job well done. She then sends out {{p|Gyarados}}. Snorlax seems to be a little tired after the match with Kingdra. Clair orders Gyarados to use Hydro Pump, while Snorlax uses Hyper Beam. Both attacks cancel each other out. Gyarados then uses {{m|DragonBreath}}, which hit Snorlax, paralyzing it. Clair then orders Gyarados to use Hyper Beam. Snorlax is slammed by the beam and it falls, fainted. Ash then chooses {{AP|Pikachu}}. Gyarados goes in to {{m|Bite}} Pikachu, but Pikachu uses Agility to get out of the way. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} but before he could attack, Gyarados uses DragonBreath, tiring Pikachu. Gyarados then tries to finish him off with a Hydro Pump, which misses Pikachu as he uses Agility to get out of the way. As Gyarados goes in for another Hydro Pump, Pikachu uses Agility to race up the Hydro Pump to get into point-blank-range of Gyarados' face. He then uses a Thunderbolt to knock Gyarados out.
+Back at the Gym, Clair sends out {{p|Gyarados}} as her second Pokémon. Clair orders Gyarados to use Hydro Pump, while Snorlax uses Hyper Beam. However, Snorlax is starting to tire out, causing Gyarados's Hydro Pump to overpower its Hyper Beam. Gyarados then uses {{m|Dragon Breath}}, and as Snorlax is still in the middle of {{DL|Status condition|recharging}}, it is unable to counterattack. As such, the Dragon Breath makes a clean hit on Snorlax, {{status|paralysis|paralyzing}} it and preventing it from moving. Clair orders Gyarados to use Hyper Beam, which hits Snorlax head on, causing it to finally faint. Ash decides to use {{AP|Pikachu}} next, choosing to use his {{t|Electric}} type against the opposing {{t|Water}} type. Clair has Gyarados use Hyper Beam, but Pikachu avoids the attack before slamming into Gyarados with {{m|Quick Attack}}. Clair is momentarily surprised by Pikachu's {{stat|Speed}}, but quickly orders Gyarados to use {{m|Bite}}. Pikachu avoids the attack before using {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Gyarados uses Dragon Breath, forming a barrier that blocks the Electric-type attack. Gyarados follows up with a Hydro Pump, which Pikachu tries to dodge, but still gets grazed by it, knocking him down for a moment. In a surprising maneuver, Gyarados leaps out of the water and starts squeezing Pikachu in a tight wrap. This, however, allows Pikachu to use a close-range Thunderbolt on Gyarados, dealing notable damage on the [[Pokémon category|Atrocious Pokémon]] before it can move away. Gyarados tries to use Bite, but Pikachu keeps dodging the repeated attacks. However, the repeated evasive maneuvers eventually leave Pikachu driven into a corner. Gyarados attempts to finish Pikachu with a Hydro Pump, but Ash has Pikachu use Agility to race up the Hydro Pump to get into point-blank-range of Gyarados's face, allowing him to land another close-range Thunderbolt, knocking Gyarados out.
-Clair then releases her strongest Pokémon: Dragonair. Pikachu then uses Thunderbolt, but Dragonair dives under the water. Clair orders a Hyper Beam, which zooms out of the water and smashes into Pikachu, taking him out. Ash then sends out {{AP|Charizard}} into battle. The roof of the stadium then opens so that the two Pokémon could have a sky high battle. Charizard goes in to attack Dragonair. Clair tells her to dive under the water. From under the water, Dragonair spins to create a massive twister, which bursts out of the water and smashes into Charizard. Charizard then uses {{m|Flamethrower}} on the lake, drying it entirely. Dragonair is now unable to dodge by diving in the water. Clair then orders Dragonair use {{m|Iron Tail}}. Charizard dodges and grabs Dragonair. Ash then orders a {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Charizard starts to spin around the earth and is about to throw Dragonair when she uses {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Charizard is hit bad and it falls to the ground. But on Ash's encouragement Charizard gets up and flies toward Dragonair. Dragonair then tries to use another Iron Tail. Charizard grabs her again and uses Seismic Toss just as before. Dragonair once again uses Dragon Rage but Charizard uses Fire Spin while in the twister! As Charizard is holding on to Dragonair, she is unable to escape. It then uses a fiery Seismic Toss. Charizard flies from the flames, roaring with victory. Clair orders Dragonair to get up. She tries, but collapses again. Clair then pulls out the Rising Badge and hands it to Ash, who says his usual line and Pikachu jumps for joy.
+Underground, Team Rocket is having their [[Team Rocket mechas|mecha]] dig a tunnel for them this time while they relax and eat. Their mecha detects signs of the Dragon Fang and they surface, but instead of Dragon Holy Land, they discover themselves somewhere else. They see [[Charla]] sleeping nearby, and, examining it, realize that the mecha mistook its fangs for the Dragon Fang. Charla suddenly wakes up and, clearly disliking its sleep getting disturbed, proceeds to send Team Rocket blasting off again with a {{m|Flamethrower}}. In the process, they drop their bag of food, which is taken away by an {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Wynaut|unseen Pokémon}}.
-Back at the Dragon Cave, {{TRT}} enters slowly. They approach the Dragon Fang, but see {{jo|Liza}} and [[Charla]]. Charla goes in and sends them blasting off again. Liza then returns to the Gym to find that Ash has won the Rising Badge. Clair then explains that Ash should head to Mt. Silver, where he can prepare for the Johto League. Ash thanks her. He then looks at Charizard, who is by Charla. Ash walks up to it and tells it to be good for Liza. Liza is surprised, but Ash knows that is where Charizard belongs. Liza, Charla, and Charizard then take off. Ash waves goodbye to his old friend. Ash decides to stay in Blackthorn for one more day so Clair can explain about the {{pkmn|League}}.
+At the Gym, Clair sends out her final and strongest Pokémon: {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}}. Pikachu repeatedly uses Thunderbolt, but Dragonair keeps dodging them all. Misty, Brock, and Liza wonder what Ash is up to, as Electric moves don't work well against {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon. However, Ash's intentions suddenly become apparent as Dragonair dives close to the ground while dodging attacks, giving Pikachu a chance to use Quick Attack. Dragonair once again dodges the attack and uses Hyper Beam, knocking Pikachu out. After picking Pikachu up, Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}} as his final Pokémon. [[Kaburagi]] pulls a lever, opening the [[Gym]] roof so that the two Pokémon can use their flying abilities to their fullest. Charizard attacks with Flamethrower,  but Dragonair dives underwater to avoid the attack before counterattacking with Hyper Beam. Charizard uses Flamethrower again, but once again, Dragonair dives into the water to avoid the attack. Clair then has Dragonair use {{m|Dragon Rage}}, engulfing Charizard in a cyclone that smashes it down to the ground. Ash urges Charizard to stand up, and it does so, before attacking with yet another Flamethrower, which is yet again avoided by Dragonair diving underwater. Dragonair attacks with Hyper Beam, while Ash has Charizard use {{m|Fire Spin}}, blocking the attack. Misty, Brock, and Liza understand that Dragonair can use the water to its advantage, giving it an edge in the fight. Ash issues yet another command for a Flamethrower, promoting Clair to repeat the now common order for Dragonair to dive underwater. However, Ash then changes his attack order into a full-power Fire Spin. All of Charizard's previous attacks have been evaporating the water in the pool, and this Fire Spin disposes of the remaining water, leaving the pool empty and Dragonair without a place to hide in.
+Charizard attacks with Flamethrower, but Dragonair blocks it with {{m|Safeguard}} before striking Charizard with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Clair order another Iron Tail, but this time, Charizard intercepts the attack and grabs Dragonair, preparing to use {{m|Seismic Toss}}. As Charizard is building up power, Clair has Dragonair use Dragon Rage, disrupting Charizard, and causing it to crash hard into the ground. Despite the heavy hit, Charizard is still able to stand up. After an exchange of fire with Hyper Beam and Flamethrower, Dragonair goes in for another Iron Tail, but once again, Charizard grabs Dragonair and goes for for another Seismic Toss. Once again, Clair has Dragonair use Dragon Rage, but this time, Charizard counters by using Fire Spin, engulfing both of them in flames and turning Seismic Toss into a "Flaming Seismic Toss". The attack slams into the Gym floor with a devastating force, and as the flames die down, Dragonair faints, making Ash the winner of the battle. Clair [[recall]]s Dragonair and congratulates Ash on his victory before handing him the {{badge|Rising}}. Ash, ecstatic of having just won his eighth [[Badge]], makes his usual victory pose with Pikachu.
+Later, Liza prepares to head back to [[Charicific Valley]] with Charla and Charizard, and as they take off, Ash, {{ashfr}}, Clair, and Kaburagi wave them goodbye as they fly off into the sunset.
