| {{Ash}} is still upset that he lost his last match and lays curled up in bed which concerns {{ashfr}}, [[Delia Ketchum|mother]], and {{an|Professor Oak}}. {{an|Misty}} comments that he should be happy that he made it as far as he did and enters the bedroom to try to cheer him up. She offers to get him something to eat and suggests he take a walk, but he refuses. The pair begin to argue about how good a {{pkmn|Trainer}} Ash really is. Professor Oak agrees with Misty, he adds that had Ash trained {{AP|Charizard}} better he could have gone further. Misty and Ash start an argument again. {{AP|Pikachu}}, however, is having none of it, and he {{m|Thunder Shock|ThunderShocks}} everyone in the room. | | {{Ash}} is still upset that he lost his last match and lays curled up in bed, which concerns {{ashfr}}, {{Delia}}, and {{an|Professor Oak}}. {{an|Misty}} comments that he should be happy that he made it as far as he did and enters the bedroom to try to cheer him up.

| [[Ritchie]]'s next {{pkmn|battle}} is about to begin. He sits in a locker room and talks to his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The door opens and in walk Ash, Misty, and {{an|Brock}}. They wish him luck and the battle begins. Brief battles are shown where [[Zippo]] battles against {{p|Rhydon}}, {{DL|Ritchie|Happy}} against {{p|Venomoth}} and a {{p|Spearow}} versus a {{p|Tentacool}}. | | Later, [[Ritchie]]'s next {{pkmn|battle}} commences; both Trainers are equally matched and are eventually down to their last Pokémon. Ritchie's opponent, [[Assunta]], sends out {{p|Ivysaur}} and Ritchie calls on [[Sparky]]. As soon as he pops out, Sparky is beaten by Ivysaur, and none of his Thunder Shocks are effective. Ivysaur eventually jumps into the air and unleashes a {{m|Solar Beam}}, hurling Sparky to the ground. Just as he gets up, he is hit and defeated by Ivysaur's {{m|Tackle}}, giving Assunta the victory. Later, Ash joins Ritchie near a lake. As their Pikachu play, they talk about their losses. Ritchie says that he would have trained harder if he had known how tough the competition would be. He then comments on how losing is good for Trainers, and Ash realizes how immature he was. He and Ritchie then promise to become Pokémon Masters no matter what. |

| Both Trainers are equally matched and are both down to their last Pokémon. Ritchie's opponent, [[Assunta]], sends out {{p|Ivysaur}} and Ritchie calls on [[Sparky]]. As soon as he pops out, Sparky gets a beating by Ivysaur. None of his Thunder Shocks are connecting as Ivysaur uses its vines for defense. Ivysaur jumps into the air and unleashes a {{m|Solar Beam}}, hurling Sparky to the ground. Just as he gets up, he is hit by Ivysaur's {{m|Tackle}}. He struggles to get up again, but it is no use and Assunta wins. Ritchie runs up to his Pikachu and makes sure he's fine. In the stands, Ash and his friends are disappointed for him.
| | Suddenly, both Pikachu fall into a hole, as do Ritchie and Ash. {{TRT}} appears at the surface, uses a cage at the end of a fishing pole, and pulls both Pikachu out of their hole. They try to shock them, but [[James]] tells them that the bars absorb electricity. They start to make their getaway when Ash and Ritchie rise out of the other hole, clinging to their {{AP|Pidgeotto}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, respectively. Ash sends out {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, who tries to grab the cage with his {{m|Vine Whip}}. James sends out {{TP|James|Weezing}} for a {{m|Smog}} attack. Pidgeotto blows the gas back at Team Rocket with {{m|Gust}} as Ritchie sends out [[Zippo]]. After Bulbasaur frees Pikachu and Sparky with a {{m|Razor Leaf}}, Zippo ignites Weezing's gas with a {{m|Flamethrower}}. As Team Rocket run around in pain, Ash has Pikachu and Sparky recharge the cage; he then sends out {{AP|Squirtle}}, who extinguishes Team Rocket with {{m|Water Gun}}. Team Rocket is sent blasting off again after Pikachu and Sparky toss the electrically-charged cage at the trio. |

He then comments on how losing is good for Trainers, and Ash realizes how much of a baby he was. He and Ritchie promise to become Pokémon Masters no matter what. | | Later that night, the closing ceremonies begin and the [[Indigo League]] competitors march with their main Pokémon into the stadium, waving to the eager crowd. [[Charles Goodshow|Mr. Goodshow]] gives each and every one of them a special [[Badge|Pokémon League Badge]] for competing in the league. The top three Trainers, two males and one female, wave from the stage amid the cheers of the crowd. The commentator then asks the audience to focus on the night skies. As the stadium lights dim, the closing ceremony fireworks display begins. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is digging a tunnel from outside the Indigo Stadium with the hope of stealing the competitors' Pokémon. {{MTR}} listens to the ground above and tells [[Jessie]] and James to dig up. Unfortunately for them, a huge bomb falls through. It goes off and Team Rocket is blasted off again. |

| Suddenly, both Pikachu fall into a hole. Ritchie and Ash run over to see what happened, and they too fall into a pitfall. {{TRT}} appears at the surface and laughs at them. Ash tries to climb up the side, but slips down. When he lands, the bottom falls out and he and Ritchie plummet another few feet. Team Rocket uses a cage at the end of a fishing pole and pulls both Pikachu out of the hole. They try to shock them, but [[James]] tells them that the bars absorb electricity. They start to make their getaway when Ash and Ritchie rise out of the other hole, clinging to their {{AP|Pidgeotto}} and Butterfree respectively. Ash sends out {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, who tries to grab the cage with his {{m|Vine Whip|vines}}. James sends {{TP|James|Weezing}} for a {{m|Smog}} attack. Pidgeotto blows the gas back at Team Rocket with {{m|Gust}} and Ritchie sends out [[Zippo]]. After Bulbasaur frees Pikachu and Sparky with a {{m|Razor Leaf}}, Zippo ignites the gas with a {{m|Flamethrower}}.

| | The next morning, Ash reminds him of their promise, before Ritchie sets off. After Ash remembers the highlights of the League games, he sees his friends, mother, and Professor Oak. Smiling, he asks Pikachu if he is ready to go back to [[Pallet Town]]. After Pikachu affirms it, he runs over to them. |

| As the sun sets, Ash and Ritchie congratulate each other. Brock and Misty run up and invite him and Ritchie to dinner, after which they'll go to the closing ceremonies. Later that night, the closing ceremonies begin and the [[Indigo League]] competitors march with their main Pokémon into the stadium, waving to the eager crowd.

| The next morning, all is quiet. Ash and Ritchie sit in the stands talking. Their Pikachu come running up to them and are warmly greeted. After Ash reminds him of their promise, Ritchie sets off. Ash remembers the highlights of the League games, all from when he saw {{p|Moltres}} at the opening ceremony to when he lost to Ritchie. He gazes at the sky then he looks over and sees his friends, mom, and Professor Oak. Smiling he asks Pikachu if he's ready to go back to [[Pallet Town]]. He runs over to his friends. His first adventure has now ended, but his next one is just about to begin. | |
