He declares his confidence and calls out his unbeatable {{p|Hitmonlee}}. Jimmy admits that he has lost half of his solo matches before sending out his {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}}, who blazes into the match. Hitmonlee begins with a {{m|Jump Kick}}, which Typhlosion blocks by grabbing Hitmonlee's leg. Hitmonlee then uses his other leg to hit Typhlosion with {{m|Rolling Kick}}. Typhlosion easily recovers, so Hitmonlee jumps up high and uses {{m|Mega Kick}}. Typhlosion counters with {{m|Flamethrower}}, which engulfs Hitmonlee for a knockout. Jimmy does a "high-paw" with Typhlosion as the watching audience cheers. Jimmy and his opponent shake hands and swear to battle again. | ||
Meanwhile, a helicopter enters one of [[Team Rocket]]'s secret hideouts hidden under a mountain range. [[Hun]] emerges from the aircraft and presents his new partner [[Attila]] to [[Professor Sebastian]]. The Professor escorts the duo to his latest weapon, the Miracle Crystal, which is capable of controlling electricity. He demonstrates its power with a lightning show, and reveals that the Miracle Crystal both stores and attracts electricity. Hun notes that it now won't be long until unlimited power is in their hands. | Meanwhile, a helicopter enters one of [[Team Rocket]]'s secret hideouts hidden under a mountain range.

As Jimmy continues on his journey, he stops at a [[Pokémon Center]], where [[Nurse Joy]] heals all his Pokémon. He stays in the Center to groom Typhlosion, complimenting it on its strength. He then hears a familiar voice, and sees {{jo|Marina}} talking on the videophone to [[Vincent]]. Her {{p|Misdreavus}} [[nickname]]d [[Little Miss]] and Vincent notice Jimmy, but it takes Marina a moment to remember him. When she does, she is enthusiastic to see him again and is thrilled to see that his {{p|Cyndaquil}} has since [[Evolution|evolved]] into a powerful Typhlosion. Marina turns to end her call with Vincent, but he pleads with her to let him speak to Jimmy first. Marina agrees, though Jimmy doesn’t appear to be enthusiastic. Vincent quietly tells Jimmy that he wants Marina to be his girlfriend and Jimmy, who also has a crush on her, shouldn't try to take her away. To avoid further embarrassment in front of his secret crush, Jimmy hangs up on him. | As Jimmy continues on his journey, he stops at a [[Pokémon Center]], where [[Nurse Joy]] heals all his Pokémon.

Taking a break in the Pokémon Center, Jimmy and Marina talk about what they have done on their journeys. Marina asks for Jimmy’s [[Pokégear]] number, but Jimmy tries to ignore her. She continues to flirt with him, though Jimmy continues to ignore her. She then suggests that he is afraid of her because he likes her. Jimmy denies this, though Typhlosion seems to think otherwise. Jimmy makes Marina change the subject, so she reveals that she wants to be a performer and battle to make people happy. Jimmy says that he battles so that he can go back and help the kids in [[New Bark Town]] raise Pokémon. Marina then reveals her fascination with {{pkmn|Champion}} " | Taking a break in the Pokémon Center, Jimmy and Marina talk about what they have done on their journeys.

Jimmy declares that being a star and battling can’t go together, so Marine challenges Jimmy to a battle to prove him wrong. | ||
Jimmy wants to battle one-on-one, but Marina insists on using two Pokémon each. Marina sends out {{DL|Marina (Johto)|Pink}}, her {{p|Jigglypuff}}, while Jimmy sends out {{p|Beedrill}}, which Marina recognizes from when it was a {{p|Weedle}}. Jimmy offers Marina the first move, and she gladly accepts. Pink starts out with {{m|Sing}}, but it fails as the beating of Beedrill's wings blocks the sound waves before they reach its ears. Beedrill uses {{m|Agility}} followed by {{m|Twineedle}}. Pink inflates itself to rise into the air, and is able to dodge Beedrill thanks to its many dance lessons. While Marina talks about turning it into a routine, Beedrill launches a {{m|Pin Missile}}, which causes Pink to faint. | Jimmy wants to battle one-on-one, but Marina insists on using two Pokémon each.

Next, Marina sends out [[Wani-Wani]], her {{p|Croconaw}}, while Jimmy returns Beedrill and sends out Typhlosion. Marina reminds Jimmy that Typhlosion is a {{type|Fire}} and has a big disadvantage against {{t|Water}} Pokémon like her Wani-Wani. Jimmy declares that he likes a challenge, though Marina thinks it is more ego than anything else. As the round begins, dark thunderclouds start to roll in. Wani-Wani uses {{m|Water Gun}}, and Typhlosion charges into the attack without sustaining any damage. Typhlosion follows up with a {{m|Quick Attack}}. As Wani-Wani prepares to sidestep out the way, a thunderbolt strikes the ground nearby. With the bad weather, Jimmy calls off the match and orders the Pokémon back to the Pokémon Center. However the Pokémon go the wrong way. Typhlosion and Wani-Wani are successfully recalled, but Little Miss gets too far ahead. | Next, Marina sends out [[Wani-Wani]], her {{p|Croconaw}}, while Jimmy returns Beedrill and sends out Typhlosion.
