At the B-Stadium, the match begins, with Macy having the first move. Macy sends out Slugma, while Ash responds with Totodile. The battle begins with an exchange of {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Water Gun}}. Macy changes tact, having anticipated that a Water Pokémon would be sent out, and tells Slugma to use {{m|Double Team}} to evade Totodile's attacks. It works for a moment, and Slugma hits Totodile with a Flamethrower. Macy orders another use of Double Team, but Totodile manages to hit Slugma with a Water Gun. At this point, Macy [[recall]]s Slugma to its {{i|Poké Ball}} for her surprise entrant, {{p|Electabuzz}}. Anticipating this, Ash pulls out Totodile for {{AP|Phanpy}}. Misty congratulates Brock on his foresight in assisting Ash to make Phanpy his third entrant, and it pays off when Phanpy [[Type#Type effectiveness|shakes off]] a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. With Electabuzz perfectly countered, Macy recalls it and sends Slugma back out. Ash leaves Phanpy in, and uses {{m|Earthquake}} and {{m|Rollout}} in quick succession. Slugma retaliates with another Flamethrower, but Phanpy blocks with {{m|Defense Curl}}. Phanpy also blocks Slugma's {{m|Body Slam}}, and uses another Earthquake on the recovery. One {{m|Take Down}} later, and Slugma is [[Fainting|out for the count]].

{{p|Quilava}} is sent out, and as Misty comments on how any of Ash's entries will have the advantage against Quilava, Phanpy starts off with Rollout; however, it is countered with {{m|Flame Wheel}}, followed by {{m|Quick Attack}}. Phanpy's attempt at a Take Down is met with another Flame Wheel, knocking it out. Brock and Misty are surprised at the turn of events, believing that Phanpy could have gone for the sweep. Ash calls on Totodile once again, while Macy selects her Electabuzz for the upper hand. Totodile begins with a Water Gun, but Electabuzz blocks it with a {{m|Light Screen}}. Totodile tries to charge at Electabuzz with {{m|Headbutt}}, but the {{pkmn|category|Electric Pokémon}} strikes with a {{m|Thunder Punch}}, knocking him out.

Now down two Pokémon, Ash is forced to send out his Squirtle. As Macy prepares to strike Squirtle out with a Thunderbolt, Squirtle hits its mark with a Water Gun. Officer Jenny is watching from the sidelines and credits the firefighting training for Squirtle’s lightning-fast maneuver. Macy is left startled for a moment, though she soon goes on the attack. Squirtle evades a series of Thunder Punches and hits again with a Water Gun, which Electabuzz blocks with {{m|Iron Tail}}. A second Iron Tail attack hits Squirtle, and Macy tries to finish it off with a Thunder Punch. However, Squirtle, while falling towards the ground, hits another Water Gun in the same spot as the first, interrupting the Thunder Punch. Electabuzz tries to finish Squirtle with another Thunderbolt, but it is met with a {{m|Skull Bash}} for its efforts and knocked out.

The match is now down to Quilava and Squirtle, with momentum back on Ash's side. Squirtle opens with a Water Gun, which Quilava counters with Flamethrower and {{m|Swift}}. Squirtle responds to the Swift with {{m|Bubble}}. The projectiles collide, creating a smoke cover for a Water Gun to hit Quilava. Another Bubble attack is met with a Quick Attack, which sends Squirtle reeling, with Squirtle ending up on its back. As Squirtle struggles to get back up, Quilava sees an opening and rushes in for a Flame Wheel. In a last-minute move, Squirtle retreats into its shell and uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}, using the spinning attack to not only hit Quilava with the water but also with its own body. Quilava is knocked out, and Ash wins the match. Macy walks over to Ash and congratulates him on the victory. Ash replies that the match helped him and Squirtle to reunite.
