<i>Ash heads for the Battle Pike ahead of his friends, and finds himself at a facility staffed by three suspiciously familiar faces and their Wobbuffet. Ever trusting, Ash challenges their "Pike Queen Lucy" to a battle. In the meantime, the real Battle Pike crew has come to meet the new challenger, and they're displeased when Ash doesn't show. Brock is instantly smitten by Lucy, the real Pike Queen, who comes to the rescue when Team Rocket reveals their fake Battle Pike and tries to run off with Pikachu. She bursts their bubble and defeats Jessie's Seviper with a powerful Seviper of her own.

Lucy sends out her second Pokémon, {{p|Milotic}}. Donphan quickly goes for a direct Take Down attack, despite Ash knowing he's leaving himself open for a counterattack. Lucy smiles and orders Milotic use {{m|Hydro Pump}}, knocking Donphan out with one hit. Ash sends Pikachu in as his second Pokémon. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on Milotic, Lucy lets the attack hit, shocking Ash. Milotic disperses the attack with its tail and strikes Pikachu down with Hydro Pump. Scott and Barbara explain that Lucy prefers offense moves rather than defensive moves. Brock displays his love speech towards Lucy again and proclaims they would make a perfect couple. Barbara shouts at Brock and her two friends pout, but Lucy blushes happily. Impressed at her battle skills, Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Iron Tail}}, but is pushed away by Milotic's own Iron Tail attack. Pikachu tries a {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Milotic responds with {{m|Twister}} and Hydro Pump consecutively, repelling Pikachu. As Milotic is about to use Iron Tail again, Pikachu sprints into a {{m|Volt Tackle}}, landing a direct hit. Before Pikachu can use Quick Attack to finish it off, Milotic’s {{m|Facade}} knocks Pikachu back. Lucy commands Milotic to use Twister once again, so Ash orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt on himself before heading directly into it and using Volt Tackle at maximum power. Pikachu rushes through the Twister and collides into Milotic's tail, causing an explosion. Milotic falls to the ground, surrounded by static and knocked out. The referee renders Milotic unable to battle and victory goes to Ash. Lucy and Ash shake hands and thank each other for a great battle. For winning, Lucy awards Ash the [[Symbol|Luck Symbol]].

Scott reminds Ash that his next Frontier battle will be at the [[Battle Palace]]. Max quickly checks his [[PokéNav]], and informs everyone that the Battle Palace is on [[Metallica Island]], near {{an|Seafoam Island}}. May is particularly excited, admitting that it has been a while since they last traveled across water. Before they leave, Brock grasps Lucy's hands and asks if she would consider joining them, making the Pike Queen blush. Max pulls Brock away as the group leaves for the next Battle Frontier [[Battle facility|facility]]. Scott, Barbara and her friends wave them goodbye.

Later, Lucy returns house where she is greeted by various Pokémon including {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and several others. She hugs them and blushes, saying that she met someone today with eyes that reminded her of them.

* Max states that {{m|Facade}} will increase in power if {{AP|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Volt Tackle}} again. This is incorrect, since what truly causes Facade to power up is its user being infected with a [[status ailment]], and Volt Tackle only has a ''chance'' to {{status|paralysis|paralyze}} its target and not a guarantee. In fact, Volt Tackle was unable to cause paralysis at all until [[Generation IV]], yet {{p|Milotic}} was paralyzed by it.
