Both Ash and Ritchie win their next battles easily, and later meet at a scenic view of the plateau to reflect upon their progress, complimenting each other all the way. Ritchie remarks that the more battles he fights, and the closer he gets to victory, the more nervous he gets, and admits that he is unsure if he can win his next match. He explains that although he puts on the facade of being calm during his matches, he's really very nervous. He explains that on the other hand, those matches make him feel the most alive, to which Ash agrees he feels the same. Ritchie tells Ash that he'd like to have a match against him, to which Ash agrees. Jokingly, he states that he knows Ash won't hate him when he wins, to which Ash responds that only in his dreams will he beat him. They laugh and relax for the remaining time before the rapidly approaching 2nd last match. | Both Ash and Ritchie win their next battles easily, and later meet at a scenic view of the plateau to reflect upon their progress, complimenting each other all the way.

For the | For the second final match, Ash is paired against [[Jeanette Fisher|Jeanette]], a Grass-Pokémon Trainer, while Ritchie is paired against Ash's rival, Gary. Ash and Ritchie wish each other luck, and go on to prepare for their next matches. | ||
Ash worries that Gary will beat Ritchie, as he'd like to meet Ritchie in the final match. Snapping out of his daydreaming, he returns his focus to his current match, to which his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} is taking a beating from Jeanette's {{p|Beedrill}}. Ash commands Bulbasaur to use its {{m|Leech Seed}}, which does critical damage to Jeanette's Beedrill, and knocks it out. Jeannette is down to her final Pokémon, a {{p|Bellsprout}}. Ash, thinking that Bellsprout will be a pushover, leaps into action and commands Bulbasaur to use his {{m|Tackle}} attack. Demonstrating amazing speed and dexterity, Jeanette's Bellsprout executes a perfect Aikido (a form of martial arts) throw, and uses Bulbasaur's momentum to slam it into the ground. While Bulbasaur is unable to move, Bellsprout follows with a {{m|Slam}} attack. This strategy dealt devastating damage to Ash's Bulbasaur, and it is unable to battle. Ash recalls Bulbasaur and sends out Pikachu, commanding him to use {{m|Agility}} to evade Bellsprout's attacks and jump on its head. Pikachu, apparently following a pre-discussed strategy, follows with a {{m| | Ash worries that Gary will beat Ritchie, as he'd like to meet Ritchie in the final match.

Ash recalls Bulbasaur and sends out Pikachu, commanding him to use {{m|Agility}} to evade Bellsprout's attacks and jump on its head. Pikachu, apparently following a pre-discussed strategy, follows with a {{m|Thunder Shock}} attack. Surprisingly, the attack seems to have done little or no damage to Bellsprout, which is revealed to be a result of Bellsprout using its roots as a ground, to channel the electrical energy out of its body. It then responds with a devastating Slam attack, which puts Pikachu out of action. Ash, down to his last Pokémon, ponders which he should choose. He considers Charizard, but then decides it's too unreliable for use in this case. In a moment of insight, he chooses {{AP|Muk}}, and sends it out. Muk, composed entirely of slime, is not affected by Bellsprout's physical attacks. Muk advances and completely encapsulates Bellsprout, pinning it against the ground underneath its body. Brock remarks that if Muk has developed it's "Sleep" attack (an attack exclusive to the Electric Tale manga), it is nearly unbeatable. Seconds pass, and then finally, Bellsprout faints, perhaps as a result of the "Sleep" attack, which may cause Muk's slime to become sleep-inducing. The audience bursts into cheers at Ash's victory, and Brock and Misty rush to congratulate Ash. However, Ash rushes off to see if Ritchie won his match against Gary, and arrives to see Gary, slumped over his Trainer's podium, gritting his teeth in his disappointment. Checking the scoreboard, Ash sees, to his apparent surprise, that Gary lost. Ritchie lets out a sigh of relief, and waves at Ash. Ash, suddenly unsure of himself, wonders what tactics Ritchie could have used to win against Gary, who was previously shown to have become a very powerful and knowledgeable Trainer during his travels. Ritchie grins at Ash and shouts that his next match is with him, and declares that he wouldn't want it any other way, to which Ash agrees. | ||
