At the race, many pairs have entered: along with local farmhands and their Pokémon, Dario and Dodrio, Ash and Ponyta, Brock and {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, Misty and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}, as well as the all-Pokémon team of Pikachu and Squirtle (representing Ash's entry), all enter the race. When the race starts, Dario and Dodrio quickly take the lead, while Pikachu and Squirtle quickly fall to the back of the pack , though they do eventually catch up. At the same time, Team Rocket has already begun eliminating the opposition - two well-aimed slingshot shots manage to spook a Tauros, and it runs into a {{p|Nidorina}}, and they take their frustrations out on each other. After a sprint comes a steep uphill portion, where Pikachu is forced to push Squirtle up the hill, putting them far behind once again. Then, the racers come upon a downhill section where another violent accident occurs: an {{p|Electrode}} and its Trainer roll down the hill uncontrollably, and a pitfall trap dug up by Team Rocket manages to take out the {{p|Electrode}} and its Trainer as they were rolling downhill with increasing speed. This gives Dario a significant lead, while Electrode's {{m|Explosion}} attack manages to incapacitate a {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Raticate}}, but most importantly Ash and Ponyta. Ash and Ponyta, however, are able to continue, thanks to Pikachu's {{m|ThunderShock}} and the fact that the two Pokémon were still lagging far behind. | At the race, many pairs have entered: along with local farmhands and their Pokémon, Dario and Dodrio, Ash and Ponyta, Brock and {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, Misty and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}, as well as the all-Pokémon team of Pikachu and Squirtle (representing Ash's entry), all enter the race.

Farther up ahead is a stepping-stone portion, which Dario and Dodrio cross with ease. However, this does not bode well for the two closest chasers: Brock and a farmhand with his {{p|Rhyhorn}} - when Rhyhorn attempts to jump on a stone, it sinks. This forces both out of the race (as Brock, with the largest Pokémon in the race, couldn't cross due to Onix's fear of water). This leaves only four teams still racing: while Ash and Ponyta navigate the stones, Starmie and Squirtle | Farther up ahead is a stepping-stone portion, which Dario and Dodrio cross with ease.

This forces both out of the race (as Brock, with the largest Pokémon in the race, couldn't cross due to Onix's fear of water). This leaves only four teams still racing: while Ash and Ponyta navigate the stones, Starmie and Squirtle swim across the water easily. At the next portion, teams must make a stop and allow their Pokémon to eat an entire plate of Pokémon food before sprinting to the finish. Dario and Dodrio are the first to arrive, but the other racers catch up due to Dodrio's three heads fighting over who gets to eat first. Desperate to eliminate the other three teams, Dario is forced to use Team Rocket's assistance once more (from which Ash and Misty learn of Dario's alliance with Team Rocket). Ash tells Pikachu and Squirtle (who had both been scarfing down Pokémon food during Team Rocket's motto) to take care of Team Rocket, but {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s {{m|Glare}} paralyzes them, while Starmie is blinded by {{TP|James|Weezing}}'s {{m|Sludge}}. This allows Dario enough time to take off towards the finish. | ||
As Misty implores Ash and Ponyta to keep going (leaving Team Rocket to herself and the three Pokémon), Team Rocket causes Ponyta to literally get fired up, shocking Arbok. Weezing tries to attack Ponyta despite James telling it not to use gas, but Ponyta's flames ignite Weezing's {{m|Smog}}, and it explodes, sending Team Rocket flying. Now desperate to make up ground, Ash and Ponyta race towards the finish line. When Ash and Ponyta catch up, Dario then orders one of Dodrio's heads to {{m|Peck}} Ponyta, slowing it down. Everyone is then startled when Ponyta [[Evolution|evolves]] through sheer will to win into the much-faster {{p|Rapidash}}, and soon Ash and Rapidash manages to overtake Dario and claim the victory in a photo finish. Believing that he had been cheated, Dario orders Dodrio to attack Rapidash, but is sent flying by a kick from its powerful hooves. | As Misty implores Ash and Ponyta to keep going (leaving Team Rocket to herself and the three Pokémon), Team Rocket causes Ponyta to literally get fired up, shocking Arbok.
