<i>Ash is about to reach the Battle Arena, but Team Rocket has gotten there ahead of him! They're pretending to be students of Greta, the Arena Tycoon, but the curriculum is a little too tough for them. Will this trick really let them get their hands on Ash's Pikachu? Meanwhile, Ash runs into Scott, who tells him that Greta prefers Fighting-type Pokémon. This gives Ash an idea...
 
Scott and Ash show up at the Battle Arena, where Greta has Ash spin a wheel to determine how many Pokémon they'll battle with. Ash spins a two, so Greta's Hariyama and Medicham will face off against Ash's Grovyle and Snorlax, who Ash brought back just for this battle. Grovyle is fast, but Hariyama uses its speed against it and Grovyle is soon knocked out. Ash sends out Snorlax and uses a defensive strategy to defeat Hariyama, whose powerful punches aren't as damaging to the big Pokémon. Greta's Medicham could be a different story, though!
 
Team Rocket is accidentally revealed during the Pokémon battle, but Pikachu zaps them before they can do anything. Then it's right back to the battle, where Medicham's attacks are proving to be pretty dangerous to Snorlax. After some close calls, Ash hits on a novel idea: have Snorlax use Hyper Beam to propel itself into the air and land on Medicham! This wins Ash the battle—and a shiny new Frontier Symbol! Greta tells Ash that the next stop on the Battle Frontier is the Battle Dome, and he's soon on his way!</i>
 
==Plot==
{{Ash}} is in a [[Pokémon Center]] getting psyched for his {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Arena}} match when [[Scott]] calls to him from across the room. They talk for a few seconds, and Ash vows to get his next [[Frontier Symbol]].

At the Battle Arena, dozens of men are being trained in karate-style moves by [[Greta]]. {{TRT}} is also being trained with the group. They are fatigued from doing so many arm thrusts. An assistant yells at them because they stopped moving. For the next exercise, the group has to crouch with cups balanced on their heads and shoulders. Team Rocket fall over and break their cups.

Meanwhile, Scott explains to Ash group about Greta and two of her Pokémon, {{p|Medicham}} and {{p|Hariyama}}. He points out the similarity to two {{type|Fighting}} [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Brawly]] and [[Chuck]]. The group exits the Pokémon Center, but Ash stops and contemplates Greta's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Suddenly, he runs back into the Pokémon Center without any explanation.

Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} look down at the group while [[James]] cleans the floor. {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} jumps over and imitates him, rubbing the floor. James tells Mime Jr. how cute it is.

A gong rings, and Ash and Greta prepare for their battle. The training group sits along the sidelines of the field, watching. Team Rocket pokes up behind them. Greta sends out Medicham and Hariyama, and Ash sends out {{AP|Grovyle}} and {{AP|Snorlax}}, who he retrieved from {{an|Professor Oak}}. {{an|May}} and [[Max]] are surprised to see that Ash has a Snorlax. Scott observes that Ash picked odd types of Pokémon to use against Fighting-types.

Grovyle and Hariyama fight first. Grovyle sends out {{m|Bullet Seed}}, and Hariyama blocks. Hariyama charges at Grovyle, but Grovyle jumps into the air and shoots another Bullet Seed. Hariyama dodges and grabs Grovyle's leg to throw it on the ground before shoving it through the air, making it land on its back. Ash tells Grovyle to use {{m|Quick Attack}} and Hariyama goes to dodge, and Grovyle uses {{m|Leaf Blade}} twice. The first time knocks Hariyama back, but then Hariyama responds with a {{m|Focus Punch}} that sends Grovyle flying back before it can attack. It hits the ceiling, falls to the ground, and faints. Brock and Scott remark that even Grovyle's speed wasn't enough to defeat the strong Hariyama.

Before Hariyama and Snorlax fight, everyone discusses Snorlax's odds of winning against a Fighting-type. Hariyama begins fighting but Snorlax {{m|Harden}}s itself and is eventually pushed back to the end of the field, apparently uninjured. Hariyama attacks again, but Snorlax dodges and hits Hariyama with a {{m|Headbutt}}, which pushes Hariyama back. Hariyama uses Focus Punch again, but Snorlax uses Harden again; however, it fails, and Snorlax falls back on its stomach. Greta orders Hariyama to use another Focus Punch, but Snorlax jumps up to dodge, and Hariyama's fist hits the ground, injuring it. Ash tells Snorlax to use {{m|Ice Punch}}, which {{status|freeze}}s Hariyama, defeating it.

Greta tells Medicham to use Focus Punch, and Snorlax Hardens itself again, but it doesn't work so well and it falls back after the punch and a kick. Greta orders another Focus Punch, and Ash orders {{m|Hyper Beam}}. It misses, and Snorlax, hit, flies into the crowd of trainees. Team Rocket's disguises fall off, and they perform their {{motto}}. They jump to grab Ash's Pikachu, but it {{m|Thunderbolt}}s them into the sky.

The match continues, and Ash tells Snorlax to use Ice Punch while Medicham is told to do the same thing. Snorlax is hit and freezes, making it immobile. Ash suddenly remembers something and tells Snorlax to use {{m|Rest}}. It falls asleep, and Greta orders more Focus Punches to reach it through the ice. The ice breaks away, and just as Medicham is about to strike, Snorlax wakes up and dodges. Ash orders another Hyper Beam, which Medicham dodges. It uses Ice Punch again and hits. Another Hyper Beam is ordered, but Snorlax can't do it. Greta orders more Focus Punches, which hit Snorlax repeatedly. However, it charges its Hyper Beam, and just as Medicham is about to finish it off, Ash tells Snorlax to direct the Hyper Beam to the ground blasting it up near the ceiling, where it rocks down to crush Medicham with {{m|Body Slam}}. Medicham faints. Ash is declared the winner, and Ash and Snorlax hug excitedly.

* During Ash's battle with Greta, Greta told her Medicham to "use dodge", as if it was an attack learned by it. In reality, dodge is a battle tactic used in the anime to avoid attacks.

* Although Ash tells Snorlax to use {{m|Protect}}, the move shown is {{m|Harden}}. Protect normally creates a green barrier like shown in video games and later ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'' by Tucker's Swampert, and Harden is a small flash of light just before they get hit.
