The ruins, he explains, are where the King of Pokelantis sealed a Ho-Oh. But instead of being careful, Ash gets excited and runs off in search of Ho-Oh. He finds something much more sinister when he awakens the spirit of the King, who possesses him and demands everyone's Pokémon as part of plan to rule the world! | <i>Ash is really excited to get to the Battle Pyramid, but he falls down a hole into a strange ruin.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} finally see the [[Battle Pyramid]], and Ash is confident that he will win. However, they fall into a hole and plummet into an ancient ruin whose walls are covered in ancient hieroglyphs. [[Max]] spots a light source ahead, and Ash heads for it. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} examines the hole in the ground which suddenly widens under their weight, and they fall in as well. | {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} finally see the [[Battle Pyramid]], and Ash is confident that he will win.

Ash finds a {{p|Pikachu}} statue and grabs it despite Max’s warning. Consequently this triggers the statue’s eyes to glow blue and a nearby wall with an identical depiction of a Pikachu flashes its eyes as well and begins to rise.

Consequently this triggers the statue’s eyes to glow blue and a nearby wall with an identical depiction of a Pikachu flashes its eyes as well and begins to rise. A giant, spherical boulder begins to pursue the group. They run into an explorer who calls them foolish kids. He summons a {{DL|Brandon's legendary giants|Regirock}} to destroy the boulder with {{m|Focus Punch}}. Ash thanks the guy for saving their lives, but he corrects him, identifying himself as {{an|Brandon}}. He declares that ruins are forbidden, but softens his stance after {{an|May}} explains that the ground collapsed underneath their feet. Brandon explains that the ancient [[King of Pokélantis]] attempted to rule the {{pkmn|world}} by controlling {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Ho-Oh destroyed the entire kingdom of [[Pokélantis]] for the King's wicked attempt. In revenge the King sealed Ho-Oh inside a stone [[Poké Ball]], constructing the very tomb they are currently standing in to seal the Legendary away from the world forever. Team Rocket overhears the ancient tale, so they set off to nab Ho-Oh for themselves. Ash is excited that he might run into Ho-Oh, but Brandon doesn't want them to follow. Ash reveals that he won six {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} [[Symbol]]s and runs off to prove his strength against Ho-Oh. Brandon and the others pursue Ash. Meanwhile, Team Rocket find a {{p|Smoochum}} statue and set off a boulder trap similar to the one Ash set off earlier. | ||
Ash runs into the door leading into the King's chamber, which quickly opens, letting him inside, and shuts immediately thereafter. May and Max push against the door, but it does not budge. Brandon tries to find the mechanism that opens the King's chamber. Inside the King's chamber, all of the torches light automatically as Ash stands up. He finds the King's throne under an enormous monument of the King himself and a stone orb shaped like a {{i|Poké Ball}} resting on the seat. Thinking Ho-Oh is inside, he grabs the orb and holds it above his head, commanding it to emerge. Brandon gets the door open and they rush inside. Brandon tries to get Ash to set the orb down, but the mysterious object suddenly activates. The orb levitates in the air as a dark voice chants a spell, enveloping Ash in dark energy. He falls to his knees, still surrounded by a blue and black aura. The others stare in shock as Ash gets back on his feet and laughs with a deep, sinister voice. | Ash runs into the door leading into the King's chamber, which quickly opens, letting him inside, and shuts immediately thereafter.

Team Rocket hear a roar at the mouth of a tunnel and run down it, thinking it is Ho-Oh. Instead, a furious {{p|Salamence}} greets them with {{m|Flamethrower}}, sending them running. Meanwhile, Brandon takes the King and the others to the pyramid, where [[Scott]] is waiting. The King pushes Scott aside as he walks into the Battle Pyramid, declaring that no one stands in his way. Inside, Scott finds out that Ash is possessed by the King's spirit. Afterwards, he reveals that Brandon explores ruins as well as being a Frontier Brain. | Team Rocket hear a roar at the mouth of a tunnel and run down it, thinking it is Ho-Oh.

The battle is set for a one-on-one match. Brandon sends out Regirock. Ash wakes up inside another dimension but can see through the King's eyes. Noticing the battle, Ash summons {{AP|Sceptile}}, which the King replicates in reality. Ash orders Sceptile to use {{m|Leaf Blade}}, which the King replicates. Regirock uses {{m|Iron Defense}} to nullify the attack. The King | The battle is set for a one-on-one match. Brandon sends out Regirock.

Ash orders Sceptile to use {{m|Leaf Blade}}, which the King replicates. Regirock uses {{m|Iron Defense}} to nullify the attack. The King orders {{m|Bullet Seed}}, but Iron Defense also nullifies it. With a snide grin, the King orders Sceptile to fire Bullet Seed at the ceiling. Sceptile is hesitant at first, but obeys. The attack causes rubble to crash on top of and bury Regirock. The group notes that Ash would never attack in that manner. Brandon calls the King a coward for his tactic, but Ash hears the insult from within the King. Ash temporarily breaks the spell, denies that he is a coward, but soon loses control to the King. | ||
Max thinks Regirock is down and out, but the Rock Peak Pokémon breaks out of its tomb and immediately uses {{m|Hyper Beam}}. In an astonishing move, the King orders Sceptile to use the referee, [[Samuel]] as cover. Sceptile initially hesitates, not used to Ash using such dirty tricks. The King tells him to obey, so Sceptile leaps behind the frightened referee, [[Samuel]], forcing Brandon to cancel the attack. The King uses Sceptile's Leaf Blade on Regirock's leg, causing it to kneel down. Regirock uses {{m|Lock-On}}, targeting Sceptile. The King orders another Leaf Blade on the other leg, rendering Regirock immobile. Regirock uses Hyper Beam again. Sceptile's attempt to dodge fails as Lock-On ensures that the attack hits. Hyper Beam comes around and Sceptile is blasted to the ground and faints. The King refuses to admit defeat and orders Pikachu to battle. May, Brock, and Max defend Pikachu and try to break through to Ash. The King appears resistant and orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but he refuses. Brandon reminds Ash that they're his good friends, and Ash gets {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on him. The attack frees Ash from captivity and purges the King from his body. Brandon uses a counter of the spell to banish the King's spirit back to the orb. Ash returns to normal, much to his friends' relief. Brandon admits to Scott that Ash's friends freed him from the spell. | Max thinks Regirock is down and out, but the Rock Peak Pokémon breaks out of its tomb and immediately uses {{m|Hyper Beam}}.
