Meanwhile, {{TRT}} talk to [[Dr. Zager]] through a video feed from within their truck hideout. They report that they have lost track of {{an|Meloetta}} since it can disappear. Dr. Zager plans to send them anti-cloaking glasses, which the trio malevolently accept.

The next morning, Ash is running through the streets in search of the Gym. Cilan points out that the Gym is actually beyond an unassuming metal door. The group heads down a flight of stairs and enters the stadium just as a Trainer and his {{p|Gothitelle}} are defeated. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Roxie]], the bassist and frontwoman of Unova's top punk band "Koffing and the Toxics". The band was named after Roxie's main Pokémon, {{p|Koffing}}, which she met at a concert in [[Kanto]]. The Gym not only serves as a battlefield, but also a live concert stadium. The screams of an audience that loves both [[battle]]s and live concerts fills the air, and Ash livens up the stadium with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from {{AP|Pikachu}}. Brimming with confidence, Roxie makes the outrageous suggestion that Ash will battle with six Pokémon, while she will only use three. Ash attempts to persuade her otherwise given that this type of battle is unfair, but she insists to do it anyway. From behind a stage light, Meloetta observes the upcoming battle.

Roxie chooses Koffing as her first Pokémon, which surprises {{an|Cilan}} and {{an|Iris}} with its incredible {{stat|Speed}}. Ash brings out {{AP|Boldore}} as his first Pokémon. The band rocks out before the battle begins, and the crowd chants Ash's name, confusing him and his friends. With that, the referee begins the battle. Ash has Boldore use {{m|Sandstorm}} to slow down and cause steady damage to Koffing. Roxie isn't bothered and has Koffing counter with {{m|Clear Smog}}, which blows away the Sandstorm and deals considerable damage to Boldore. However, it stands its ground and uses {{m|Rock Blast}}, but Koffing deflects with {{m|Gyro Ball}} and strikes Boldore for super-effective damage. Koffing then uses {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and Boldore counters with {{m|Flash Cannon}}. Koffing then uses Gyro Ball, which Boldore attempts to defend against with Sandstorm, but Koffing breaks through and knocks Boldore out.

Ash sends out {{AP|Unfezant}} next to counter Koffing's speed, starting off with {{m|Quick Attack}} which does considerable damage. Koffing then proceeds to use {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, but a cleverly executed {{m|Gust}} from Unfezant blows the wisps back at Koffing for a lot of damage. Iris and Cilan compliment Ash on his move and Meloetta is shown smiling. Unfezant uses {{m|Air Cutter}}, but Koffing easily dodges and follows up with {{m|Sludge Bomb}}. The smoke clears and it appears that Unfezant has been poisoned as per Roxie's battle style. Koffing then uses Clear Smog to ramp up Unfezant's damage. Ash considers withdrawing her, but she lands and stands her ground confidently. Ash is pleased and calls for {{m|Aerial Ace}}. She clashes with Koffing's Gyro Ball and is knocked back. Unfezant tries once more, but this clash renders her unable to battle. With that knockout, Ash is left with four Pokémon.

Ash surprises everyone when he brings out his third Pokémon, {{AP|Leavanny}} a part {{type|Grass}}. Ash feels confident about his choice and has Leavanny use {{m|Energy Ball}}. The attack hits and has a secondary effect on Koffing: lowering its {{stat|Special Defense}}. Roxie goes for a head-on attack with Gyro Ball, but Leavanny ensnares it in its {{m|String Shot}}. Koffing then tries to use Sludge Bomb but misses when  Leavanny begins swinging it around. Ash has Leavanny reel it in and finish it off with a close-range Energy Ball that knocks Koffing out at last.

Roxie brings out her next Pokémon, {{p|Scolipede}}. Leavanny fires {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but the move hits with no observable effect. Scolipede responds with {{m|Toxic}}, leaving Leavanny {{status|Poison|badly poisoned}}. Unable to stand due to the poison's effects, Leavanny falls to the ground as the episode ends.
