<i>Ash is battling Harrison from Hoenn at the Johto League Silver Conference. Pikachu is very excited to be battling, but Harrison's Kecleon knocks Pikachu out in Round 1. It's a close match the whole way through, but one by one Harrison knocks out Totodile, Snorlax, and Noctowl. Ash cleverly guides Bayleef through a rough battle with Harrison's Houndoom. Houndoom is a fire type Pokémon so it has the advantage, but Ash had Bayleef use its Vine Whip attack to close Houndoom's mouth. In the end, Bayleef is able to knock out Houndoom! But Bayleef is no match for Harrison's last Pokémon. Harrison's sixth Pokémon is one that Ash has never seen before—Blaziken. It's a fire type Pokémon and it's at a really high level. Ash has saved Charizard for last. With two strong fire types in the arena, it's hard to predict the outcome!

{{Ash}} has chosen {{AP|Pikachu}} to {{pkmn|battle}} {{jo|Harrison}}'s {{p|Kecleon}}. Ash takes a moment to check his [[Pokédex]] for information, which alerts him to Kecleon's unique {{a|Color Change|ability to change its body color}}. Soon enough Kecleon camouflages itself, making itself almost invisible besides a red zigzag on its stomach. Ash soon realizes that Kecleon hasn't moved yet, but before Pikachu can attack, Kecleon jumps into the long grass for cover. To counter this maneuver Ash orders Pikachu to listen out for Kecleon. However, Kecleon uses its {{m|Lick}} attack to confuse Pikachu, then tosses him aside with its tongue. Harrison | {{Ash}} has chosen {{AP|Pikachu}} to {{pkmn|battle}} {{jo|Harrison}}'s {{p|Kecleon}}.

However, Kecleon uses its {{m|Lick}} attack to confuse Pikachu, then tosses him aside with its tongue. Harrison orders a {{m|Psybeam}}, and the attack narrowly clips Pikachu as he tries to evade it. Pikachu stands up and rushes into the grass to hide. But Kecleon uses its tongue to cut down the lawn. Pikachu bides his time before grabbing a hold of Kecleon's tongue, using it as a wire to deliver a direct {{m|Thunderbolt}}, knocking Kecleon out. Harrison quickly recalls Kecleon. | ||
Harrison | For his second Pokémon, Harrison sends out {{TP|Harrison|Sneasel}}, the same one he captured [[EP265|before the tournament opened]]. Pikachu uses another Thunderbolt, but Sneasel dodges and lashes Pikachu with a {{m|Metal Claw}} to claim the round. Ash takes a second to collect Pikachu from the field before calling out {{AP|Totodile}}. He orders a {{m|Water Gun}}, but Sneasel runs forward and attempts to use Metal Claw. However, Totodile {{m|Bite}}s down on Sneasel's arm, effectively immobilizing it. Totodile performs a happy dance, knocking Sneasel into the ground in the process. After Totodile swats it away with his tail, it leaves Sneasel unable to continue. | ||
Harrison chooses {{p|Hypno}} to fight next. Totodile tries a {{m|Scary Face}}, but Hypno is totally unfazed by the attack. Hypno replies with a bout of {{m|Hypnosis}}, taking full control of Totodile. Next, Hypno uses a {{m|Psychic}} attack to send Totodile flying, knocking him out cold. Ash sends out his {{AP|Snorlax}}, who emerges from its {{i|Poké Ball}} sleeping peacefully. Although Snorlax's slumbering state prevents it from being affected by Hypnosis, Hypno takes advantage of the situation by using {{m|Dream Eater}}. As Hypno slowly absorbs Snorlax's energy, its target soon wakes up in a rage from having its dreams stolen. With a single {{m|Hyper Beam}}, Hypno is blasted out of the match. The announcer orders a five-minute intermission due to three of Harrison's Pokémon being unable to battle. | Harrison chooses {{p|Hypno}} to fight next.
