<i>The Virbank Gym battle rages on between Ash and Gym Leader Roxie! Ash has finally managed to knock out Roxie’s powerful Koffing, but it soon becomes clear that her Scolipede is just as powerful, as it makes short work of Ash’s Leavanny. He has three Pokémon left to Roxie’s two—but the numbers advantage doesn’t necessarily mean Ash has the upper hand!

[[Billy Jo]] taunts Ash having only half his team left, but Ash remains confident that they can win, sending out {{AP|Pignite}}. Cilan remarks that Pignite is a great matchup against Scolipede for type. Ash orders {{m|Flame Charge}}, but Roxie catches on that Ash is attempting to boost Pignite's speed while dealing damage, and counters with {{m|Screech}}. The sound waves end up being disruptive enough for Pignite to break Flame Charge. Pignite fires {{m|Flamethrower}}, but Scolipede dodges again and poisons Pignite with Toxic. Ash encourages Pignite not to give up and calls for {{m|Fire Pledge}}. Pignite manages to stand up despite the poison, launching his pillars of fire that bathe Scolipede in flames, knocking it out. Roxie surprises Ash and {{ashfr}} when she tosses Pignite a [[Pecha Berry]], curing him of his poison, saying that it wouldn't be fun facing a poisoned opponent. Cilan is impressed at how Roxie is using the crowd in her favor, making for a truly uniquely flavored Gym. Iris isn't impressed and briefly runs off. Roxie sends out her third Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}, which Ash scans.

Ash orders another Flame Charge, but Roxie orders Garbodor to dodge, which it does by pushing against the ground with its arms and extending them, shocking Ash's group. Garbodor then lands on Pignite, sending its weight down on Pignite. Garbodor then grabs Pignite from underneath it and uses {{m|Double Slap}} on it. Cilan is amazed that Garbodor can extend its arms infinitely, pointing out that this will make it difficult for Ash's attacks to connect. Ash calls for Flamethrower, which Garbodor dodges in the same way, but as this happens Ash orders a {{m|Tackle}}. Pignite slams itself into Garbodor's extended arms, causing the Trash Heap Pokémon to come crashing down.

Ash orders Fire Pledge, but Roxie orders Garbodor to block it using its extendable arm. Garbodor then blocks Pignite's fist from connecting with the floor, stopping the move, before proceeding to strike Pignite with Double Slap. Billy Jo rouses the crowd again, and Iris reveals herself to have brought along a ceremonial drum (much to Cilan's surprise) to cheer for Ash. Ash is happy that Iris is cheering for him, and orders a Fire Pledge from Pignite. Roxie counters with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, blasting through Fire Pledge and knocking Pignite out. Roxie remarks that she doesn't just stick to Poison-type attacks and techniques.

Ash sends out {{AP|Palpitoad}} as his fifth Pokémon; Cilan once again points out the type advantage Ash has. Ash orders a {{m|Mud Shot}}, but Garbodor once again dodges in the same way. Roxie compliments Palpitoad for the strength of his Mud Shot before calling for another Hyper Beam, which Ash counters with {{m|Hydro Pump}}, cancelling it out. The water spray causes Pikachu to briefly take notice of {{an|Meloetta}}, who has been watching the battle; it quickly hides itself with invisibility. Ash orders another Mud Shot, but Garbodor responds with {{m|Gunk Shot}}, launching a trash bag that meets Mud Shot head-on. The trash bag bursts to release poison-coated garbage, striking Palpitoad and poisoning him as well. Roxie follows up with {{m|Venoshock}} as Garbodor soaks Palpitoad in green goop, shocking his system. Ash is stunned at this latest development as Cilan explains that Venoshock deals a lot of damage if the target is poisoned. Garbodor launches another Venoshock, dealing heavy damage to Palpitoad and fainting him.
