<i>The first round of the Victory Tournament finds Ash in a tight spot. He has three Pokémon remaining; Katie, his opponent, has four. Katie's Golduck faces Corphish on a water field and uses its attack to confuse Corphish. Luckily, even confused, Corphish is one tough Pokémon! Its haphazard attacks manage to defeat Golduck. Then it's a tense series of battles as Ash rallies and knocks out all of Katie's Pokémon until only her Walrein remains!

==Plot==
After a short recap, the episode picks up right where the previous one left off, with {{Ash}} and [[Katie]] in the midst of battle. However, due to one Trainer having three Pokémon knocked out, the field has been changed from a Rock field to a Water field. The new field consists of a pool of water with several small platforms for the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to stand on. Ash sends out {{AP|Corphish}}, and Katie sends out her {{DL|Katie|Golduck}} to battle again. Both {{t|Water}} Pokémon are suited for the new field, which {{ho|Tyson}} makes a note of. Ash orders Corphish to use {{m|Crabhammer}}, and Katie responds by telling Golduck to use {{m|Fury Swipes}}. The two Pokémon leap at each other and use their respective attacks. However, the continuous strikes from both Pokémon match blow for blow, cancelling out.

The new field consists of a pool of water with several small platforms for the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to stand on.

However, the continuous strikes from both Pokémon match blow for blow, cancelling out.


Katie then orders Golduck to use {{m|Hydro Pump}}, which Ash counters by telling Corphish to jump and use Crabhammer. Katie does not seem worried, however, and tells Golduck to use its {{m|Confusion}}, stopping Corphish in mid-air. Corphish desperately swings its claws to attack while suspended helplessly by Confusion before being flung across the arena and into the water by the {{t|psychic}} attack. Ash calls out to Corphish, who is in a state of confusion from Golduck's attack. {{an|May}}, [[Max]], {{an|Brock}}, [[Morrison]] and Tyson all look on worried, as Ash tries to snap Corphish out of its confusion. Unable to control itself, Corphish falls straight into the arena's water. As the announcer and Golduck wonder where Corphish could be, Katie looks on confidently. Corphish manages to sneak up to Golduck without being seen and leaps out to use Crabhammer on Golduck's face, sending it reeling. Katie grits her teeth as Corphish lands safely on one of the arena platforms, before ordering her fallen Golduck to use Fury Swipes again. Golduck does so, leaping towards a dazed Corphish who cannot hear Ash's pleas to dodge. However, just before Golduck can begins its attack, Corphish accidentally clamps onto its claws and starts shaking them rigorously. Golduck, Ash, and the crowd look on bemused. Seeing his chance to gain an advantage, Ash commands Corphish to fling Golduck, and then use {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Corphish does so, spinning Golduck around before sending it flying. BubbleBeam then pummels Golduck into the arena wall, knocking it out.

Katie returns Golduck and calls back {{DL|Katie|Venomoth}}. Ash, confident from their last win, decides not to switch out. However, Corphish is still confused and uses BubbleBeam without being ordered to. Katie orders Venomoth to dodge and use {{m|Supersonic}} on the already-confused Corphish, to no effect and some ridicule by Ash's friends. Ash recalls Corphish so it may recover in its [[Poké Ball]]. Noting that Venomoth is a {{t|Bug}} type, and that {{t|Flying}} types would have an advantage, Ash sends out his {{AP|Swellow}}. Katie responds by telling Venomoth to use {{m|Stun Spore}}, which Ash counters by telling Swellow to dodge and use {{m|Peck}}. May and Morrison shout support from the stands, and Katie tells Venomoth to use {{m|Disable}} to prevent Swellow from using Peck again. Ash confidently replies that it has other Flying-type attacks, and tells Swellow to use {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Swellow loops around mid-air, and dives straight for Venomoth, smashing into the {{t|Bug}} Pokémon and sending it spiraling down towards the arena's water. Katie quickly responds by telling Venomoth to use Confusion, but Ash quickly counters by telling Swellow to use {{m|Quick Attack}}. Swellow flies through the sonic waves and into Venomoth, sending it straight into the water and out for the count.

Katie recalls Venomoth and sends out her {{DL|Katie|Scizor}}. In the stands, May questions Katie's choice of another Bug-type going against Swellow. Max tells her that Scizor is also partly {{type|Steel}}, and Tyson remarks that Steel-type Pokémon have an advantage over Flying types.

Ash begins this match-up by telling Swellow to use Quick Attack. Katie orders Scizor to use Quick Attack as well, and the two Pokémon speed towards each other, trading blows repeatedly in mid-air. They eventually stop and face off.

Since Disable has worn off, Ash orders Swellow to use Peck once again, and Katie responds by telling Scizor to use {{m|Double Team}}, creating several Scizor illusions across the various platforms. Katie then calls for a {{m|Metal Claw}}, and all of the Double Team clones leap towards Swellow, claws glowing. Ash quickly tells Swellow to use Double Team, creating a line of its own clones to tackle Scizor's. The illusions pass through each other, and Ash orders Swellow to use Aerial Ace. The Swellow loop around and speed towards Scizor, and Katie orders it to use {{m|Hidden Power}}. Scizor's illusions all vanish into the real Scizor, who fires off several white balls of energy which pass through Swellow's illusions. Ash then calls for a Quick Attack, and Swellow speeds through Scizor's attack. Katie then orders Scizor to counter with Metal Claw, which it does, smashing straight into Swellow's position. However, Swellow used Aerial Ace to instantly vanish and hit Scizor. The force of the attack sends Scizor crashing down onto a stadium platform, and down for the count. The referee states that Scizor is unable to battle, and Katie recalls it.

Down to her last Pokémon, Katie falls silent for a few seconds before sending out her final Pokémon, {{DL|Katie|Walrein}}. Ash, excited that victory is close, orders Swellow to use Quick Attack again. Swellow does so, smashing straight into Walrein. However, due to Walrein's sheer girth and body mass, Swellow's attack bounces straight off, and a shocked Swellow is sent flying back. Katie then commands Walrein to use {{m|Ice Beam}}, which Ash quickly tells Swellow to dodge. Swellow does so, but the edge of its left wing is caught by the Ice attack. Morrison shouts encouragement to Swellow as Ash tells it to use Peck attack. Katie counters by telling Walrein to go underwater, causing Swellow's attack to miss. Ash grits his teeth, and Katie confidently orders the submerged Walrein to use Ice Beam. The attack lands a direct hit, forcing Swellow to crash onto the floor outside of the arena, knocked out.

Katie and Walrein confidently look on as the announcer comments that Ash has two Pokémon remaining. Ash, limited in choice, sends out an exhausted yet no longer confused Corphish. Katie orders Walrein to use {{m|Body Slam}} while Ash calls for BubbleBeam. Bubblebeam pelts Walrein's underside as it slams down upon Corphish, causing a huge wave. When the water clears, Corphish is pinned under Walrein huge mass and knocked out. In the stands, a worried Max remarks that not even Swellow and Corphish were able to take out Walrein.
