Now sitting outside, Jimmy and Marina talk about what they have done on their journeys. Marina flirts with Jimmy who, to her annoyance, shows no interest. She then suggests that he is afraid of her because he likes her. Jimmy denies this, though Typhlosion seems to think otherwise. Jimmy makes Marina change the subject, so she tells him that she battles to make people happy, and then he says that he battles to be able to help the kids back in New Bark Town. Marina then reveals her fascination with [[Lance|Fabu-Lance]] and challenges Jimmy to a battle.

They agree to use two Pokémon each. Marina sends out {{DL|Marina (Johto)|Little Pink}}, her {{p|Jigglypuff}}, while Jimmy sends out {{TP|Jimmy|Beedrill}}. Little Pink starts out with {{m|Sing}}, but it fails as the speed of Beedrill's wings erase all sound waves before they reach its ears. Beedrill uses {{m|Agility}} followed by {{m|Twineedle}}. Little Pink launches into the air, and is able to dodge Beedrill thanks to its many dance lessons. While Marina talks about turning it into a routine, Beedrill launches a {{m|Pin Missile}}, which makes Little Pink faint.

Next, Marina sends out [[Wani-Wani]], her {{p|Croconaw}}, while Jimmy sends out Typhlosion. As the battle begins, thunderclouds start to build up. Wani-Wani uses {{m|Water Gun}}, and Typhlosion charges into it. Typhlosion survives the attack and uses {{m|Quick Attack}}, but a bolt of lightning shoots down between them. Jimmy tells the Pokémon to go back to the Pokémon Center, but they go the wrong way. Typhlosion and Wani-Wani are successfully recalled, but Little Miss gets too far ahead.

*By the time this aired dubbed, Eugene and Vincent had already been seen before, in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'' and ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]'', respectively. In the episodes in question, they were named as Eusine and Jackson.

*In the dub, when [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] are talking about signature moves, Hun mentions {{m|Shock Wave}}, despite the fact that Shock Wave was not a move when the special was created. It is because [[Pokémon Chronicles]] were dubbed and aired between [[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]] and [[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]. Even so, Shock Wave was a TM-only move in [[Generation III]], and thus could not be a signature move.
