After the events of [[DP066|the previous episode]], {{an|Dawn}} announces her plan to have a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with [[Maylene]], but Maylene asks to postpone until the next day for preparation. While {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} {{pkmn|training|trains}} with {{AP|Buizel}}, [[Reggie]] calls to {{Ash}} to train as well. {{an|Brock}} asks about Dawn’s strategy for the battle. Dawn decides to use Piplup since it knows {{m|Peck}}, {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} for her prior battle [[experience]] and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s {{m|Bounce}}. Reggie's {{p|Staraptor}} demonstrates {{m|Brave Bird}}, smashing a rock top to pieces. Staraptor takes some damage, something Reggie points out. While {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} munches on a [[Berry]], {{AP|Staravia}} makes its first Brave Bird attempt, but it comes apart mid-flight and Staravia crashes to the ground. Ash tends to Staravia as Reggie notes that a moving target would be much better for Staravia’s concentration. Ash volunteers to be the target despite the danger. Staravia makes another attempt as Ash runs, eventually dodging the attack and giving Staravia its first successful attempt. | After the events of [[DP066|the previous episode]], {{an|Dawn}} announces her plan to have a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with [[Maylene]], but Maylene asks to postpone until the next day for preparation.

Ash continues to train with Staravia, inspiring Dawn to train more as well as shocking Electabuzz. Reggie mentions to {{an|Brock}} that Ash is the opposite of [[Paul]] in terms of training, being more involved. He also asks about Dawn’s intention to battle Maylene as her {{pkmn|Contest}} background makes it difficult for Reggie to believe. Brock notes that it is to help Maylene's confidence as well as her own. In the {{gy|Veilstone|Gym}}, Maylene tries to Meditate, but her stomach rumbles, angering {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}}, but she mentions that she is training seriously and asks [[Connally]] to be the referee. {{TRT}} wants to steal Lucario, but [[Jessie]] notes Lucario’s power, preferring to take one of Maylene's other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} instead. During the night, Ash and Dawn check on their training progress, which is going well for both. Dawn is nervous about the Gym battle, which Ash sympathizes, something he felt many times before.

The next day, Team Rocket stakes out the Gym with cameras as they notice Ash and his friends arriving. When Dawn announces her challenge intention loudly, Team Rocket is also stunned at her challenging the Gym. Dawn and Maylene take positions as Reggie, Ash and Brock watch. The battle is set for three-on three with only Dawn being allowed to switch Pokémon during the battle. Maylene sends out {{p|Meditite}} first as Dawn checks her [[Pokédex]]. They notice Dawn's tension causing her to hesitate, but Ash shouts inspirational words, getting both of them relaxed and Dawn summons Buneary first. Buneary jumps rapidly as the duel begins. Buneary goes first with Bounce, jumping and coming down, but Meditite uses {{m|Detect}}, dodging the attack. Meditite uses {{m|Drain Punch}}, everyone noticing Maylene mimicking her Pokémon’s movements and demonstrating synchronization. Despite a spin-dodge, Buneary takes a severe hit. Buneary struggles to get up as they notice Dawn's lack of battling experience. Buneary fires {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{status|freeze|freezing}} Meditite solid. Buneary charges, but Meditite uses {{m|Confusion}} to break from the ice and send ice shards at Buneary, which the Pokémon dodges. Another Confusion sends Buneary into the air and tosses the Pokémon down to the ground, but Buneary uses its flexible ears to soften the impact and go right into a Bounce attack. Meditite counters with Drain Punch, both attacks connecting and causing an explosion. Both Pokémon are shaken, but Buneary took too much damage, its legs buckling before falling down, [[fainting|knocked out]]. Lucario notices Maylene's improved attitude as Dawn summons Ambipom. Ambipom fires {{m|Swift}}, coming around in a circle and hitting Meditite from all angles, similar to a Contest-style move. Meditite uses Drain Punch as Ambipom blocks with one of her tails before using {{m|Double Hit}} to knock out Meditite. | The next day, Team Rocket stakes out the Gym with cameras as they notice Ash and his friends arriving.
