Ash commends Paul on being able to come back from trailing three-to-one, but declares that he is the one who is going to win this battle, and sends out Infernape. Electivire and Infernape have a long standing rivalry, even from their days as {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Elekid}}, both under Paul’s ownership, and the time has finally come for them to face off and prove not only which of them is the better Pokémon, but which of their Trainers is the better Trainer. However, Electivire has only sustained some damage, while Infernape has sustained significant damage from multiple battles, on top of still being {{status|Poison|poisoned}} from Drapion's {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, meaning Paul has the upper hand.

Electivire starts things off with a Thunder Punch, and Infernape counters with {{m|Mach Punch}}, which collide and neutralize each other. Infernape tries for a {{m|Flamethrower}}, which is blocked by Electivire's {{m|Protect}}. Electivire uses {{m|Thunder}} to create a [[Counter Shield]] around the battlefield, but Infernape {{m|Dig}}s underground and avoids the attack, before resurfacing below Electivire and hitting it dead-on. Infernape then takes damage from Poison, before Electivire gets back on its feet. After another blocked Flamethrower, Infernape and Electivire exchange a fury of Mach and Thunder Punches, respectively. They each land an attack before yet another Flamethrower by Infernape is blocked by Electivire's Protect. Ash instructs Infernape to use another Mach Punch, but Electivire dodges and ensnares Infernape's arm with one of its tails, causing Reggie to again criticize Ash for falling in thap trap once again. Electivire then unleashes a Thunder, causing Infernape so much damage that it collapses to the ground, seemingly [[Fainting|unable to battle]].

The [[battle judge|referee]] begins to declare Infernape out of the match, though Electivire interrupts him, knowing that Infernape still has the ability to fight and wants to finish the battle properly. Electivire is proven right as Infernape starts to get up, and Paul tells it that it's pathetic for going down this easily, like always, and turns his head in skepticism. However, Infernape suddenly regains its senses, and Ash tells a surprised Paul that this battle isn't over yet. Infernape stands and returns with a vengeance, activating its {{a|Blaze}} Ability. This makes Reggie realize that Ash let Paul trap his Pokémon on purpose, to give him a false sense of security and provoke him to attack Infernape to the point of activating Blaze. Ash orders a Flamethrower, and Infernape fires a super-powerful blast at Electivire. Electivire tries to hold it back with Thunder, but it can't stand up to the sheer power. Ash then has Infernape use Mach Punch, which hits and sends Electivire flying back. Knowing their Pokémon are now at their limits, they get ready to finish it; Paul shouts for a Thunder Punch, while Ash orders a {{m|Flare Blitz}}. The two Pokémon, battling like they've never battled before, land their attacks on each other, creating a maelstrom of fire and electricity streaming into the sky, illuminating the stadium. Infernape pushes itself further and ends the exchange, feeling the [[recoil]] from Flare Blitz. After a delayed reaction, Electivire feels the explosive force of Infernape's Flare Blitz, throwing up a thick blanket of smoke. The smoke clears and reveals Electivire still standing, and the two Pokémon and their Trainers stare each other down. The two Pokémon remain perfectly still, until Electivire finally falls and is declared unable to battle, awarding Ash the victor of this truly intense battle.
