Ash decides to send in Pikachu, surprising the senior students and Roxanne. Undeterred, Pikachu starts by destroying the rock field with {{m|Thunder}}. Meanwhile, Team Rocket begins their plan to tunnel into the Gym and stealing Pikachu by shoveling by hand — as [[James]] notes, this would save them money because they waste so much with their more elaborate schemes. Back at the battle, though Pikachu has destroyed the field, it has yet to damage Geodude. Roxanne notes that it allows Geodude greater maneuverability, and better use of {{m|Rock Throw}}. Pikachu dodges the rocks with {{m|Quick Attack}}, but takes a Mega Punch. When Roxanne tries to use Rollout to finish Pikachu off, though, Geodude gets stuck on the softer battlefield, making an opening for Pikachu to get close with Quick Attack and get the knockout with Thunder. Roxanne admits that Ash has talent, as Geodude had never been knocked out by an {{type|Electric}} attack alone. | Ash decides to send in Pikachu, surprising the senior students and Roxanne.

Roxanne next sends out {{TP|Roxanne|Nosepass}}, a Pokémon unfamiliar to Ash. Pikachu starts off with Iron Tail, which makes its mark, but when Pikachu tries to use it again, it fails. Nosepass responds with a {{m|Rock Tomb}}, trapping Pikachu. However, Pikachu breaks free with Thunder. Nosepass then uses {{m|Sandstorm}}, making Pikachu unable to find Nosepass, and allowing Nosepass to pin Pikachu to the battlefield. However, Pikachu escapes, and manages to escape another Rock Tomb with a Quick Attack. Pikachu attempts to disorient Nosepass by running circles around Nosepass, which allows another shot with Iron Tail. However, the move fails again. Brock notes that Pikachu is too worn out from running around, and thus does not have the time to store up energy for a successful Iron Tail.

Pikachu, however, though worn out, can still battle. Anticipating another Iron Tail, Nosepass uses {{m|Zap Cannon}}, to which Ash tells Pikachu to take the hit head-on. As he is low on power, the Zap Cannon recharges Pikachu instead, paralyzing Nosepass and allowing it to be hit by another Iron Tail. This time, it is successful, and Nosepass is knocked out. This earns Ash the match victory and the {{Badge|Stone}}. | ||

* In the dub, Roxanne called out the Thunder Wave attack instead of Zap Cannon, which was what Roxanne had called out in the Japanese version. You could even see that the so-called "Thunder Wave" attack was the same attack as Zap Cannon, which the dub correctly called out when Nosepass made her second electric attack. | |||
