Ash hands in all of his Pokémon to be checked over by [[Nurse Joy]] and Brock begins to flirt with Nurse Joy until he's taken down by not just {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}'s {{m|Poison Jab}}, but also with {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}}'s {{m|Pound}}. Nurse Joy apologizes for her overprotective Pokémon as Croagunk drags Brock away. Ash learns that Paul has already arrived, and quickly heads out for the Center's battlefield. | Ash hands in all of his Pokémon to be checked over by [[Nurse Joy]] and Brock begins to flirt with Nurse Joy until he's taken down by not just {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}'s {{m|Poison Jab}}, but also with {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}}'s {{m|Pound}}.

They recite an alternate version of their motto, which is centered around their new jobs. Suddenly Ash arrives and he nearly sees through their disguises after they call him '[[twerp]]'. It turns out the battlefield is out of commission for a few days due to overuse. Ash begins to worry as he doesn't know where to meet Paul until a [[Battle judge|referee]] named [[Olivier]] arrives, having being asked by Reggie to officiate the Full Battle. He tells Ash that as the regular battlefield can't be used, Reggie has selected another location. | ||
On a clearing beside Lake Acuity, Paul is practicing with {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} under Reggie's watchful eye. Reggie notes how well Paul has polished his Pokémon's moves since [[DP128|the battle against]] {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, prompting Paul to ask Reggie why exactly he suggested the Full Battle in the first place. Reggie explains that the battle against Brandon had a major effect on Paul, making him realize it was the perfect time for a Full Battle between him and Ash. | On a clearing beside Lake Acuity, Paul is practicing with {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} under Reggie's watchful eye.

At the Pokémon Center Ash picks up {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Staraptor}}, {{AP|Grotle}}, {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{AP|Buizel}} and {{AP|Gliscor}} who are all ready and willing to battle Paul, Chimchar especially so. Brock reflects on [[Cynthia]]'s words [[DP097|back in]] [[Celestic Town]], when she told Chimchar it had a bigger and better destiny. Brock knows that Chimchar is at the very center of Ash and Paul's rivalry, and that Chimchar will be instrumental in what happens between them. And so, with everyone ready to go, Ash goes out to meet Paul and Reggie. | At the Pokémon Center Ash picks up {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Staraptor}}, {{AP|Grotle}}, {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{AP|Buizel}} and {{AP|Gliscor}} who are all ready and willing to battle Paul, Chimchar especially so.

Both are intent in growing strong alongside their Pokémon, only their training methods differing. He tells Ash that a Full Battle between them is inevitable, and it's a good time for them both to compare each other's strengths and weaknesses. Just then Olivier arrives in a balloon with a portable scoreboard. Helping him man the scoreboard and make the necessary changes as the match progresses are Team Rocket, once again wearing disguises. | ||
Olivier officially states the rules; the battle will be a Full Battle, six-on-six with substitutions freely allowed on both sides. Coin Toss is used to decide who gets to pick their Pokémon first, and Ash wins. He sends out Buizel first, and Paul sends out his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}. The referee begins the match, only for Ash to instantly recall Buizel, similar to how Paul recalled his first Pokémon during the match against Brandon when he didn't like the type-matchup. Ash apologizes to Buizel and promises he'll call on it soon, and sends out Gliscor to replace him. Ash reminds Paul that he [[DP081|encountered Gliscor before]] when it was still a {{p|Gligar}} but Paul remains silent, choosing not to engage in conversation with his rival. | Olivier officially states the rules; the battle will be a Full Battle, six-on-six with substitutions freely allowed on both sides.

Ash has Staraptor begin with {{m|Brave Bird}}, and Staraptor moves in for the hit. However, Paul has Torterra use {{m|Stone Edge}}. The pointed stones score a [[super effective]] hit and Staraptor is sent plummeting to the ground. Now everyone is aware that Paul left Torterra in because he knew Ash would switch to Staraptor, and now that it has done its job Paul recalls Torterra to its [[Poké Ball]]. Reggie asks Brock and Dawn if Ash came up with any kind of strategy against Paul or if he switched any of the Pokémon in his [[party]]. Dawn tells Reggie that Ash planned on using his usual six from the start while Brock tells Reggie that with the exception of Pikachu, Ash's Pokémon were all acquired by him since he came to [[Sinnoh]]. Reggie tells Brock that since Paul has battled Ash several times and knows what Pokémon he has, he based his team on that information. | Ash has Staraptor begin with {{m|Brave Bird}}, and Staraptor moves in for the hit.

Paul's second Pokémon is [[Paul#On hand|Weavile]], and after making sure Staraptor is OK to battle Ash tells him to begin with {{m|Quick Attack}}. Staraptor gets the hit in, and Paul then has Weavile use {{m|Swords Dance}}. Dawn asks what Swords Dance does, and Reggie explains that it increases Attack power, making Weavile far stronger than normal. Ash calls for an {{m|Aerial Ace}}, and Paul counters this by ordering {{m|Blizzard}}. The {{type|Ice}} move hits Staraptor hard, and Paul then has Weavile use {{m|Metal Claw}}. Staraptor flies low and Weavile jumps onto his back, shocking everyone. Weavile then slashes Staraptor's back and jumps off as the Predator Pokémon crashes to the ground. Paul orders Weavile to go after Staraptor with another Metal Claw, and Ash has Staraptor use {{m|Close Combat}}. Staraptor and Weavile trade blows, but Staraptor is able to gain the advantage and sends Weavile flying, having suffered a lot of damage from the {{type|Fighting}} move. Staraptor maintains the assault, and Paul orders a Blizzard while Ash calls for Brave Bird. Staraptor flies out of range of the Blizzard and scores a direct hit with Brave Bird. Although Staraptor suffers from the [[recoil]], Weavile comes out of it far worse off and | Paul's second Pokémon is [[Paul#On hand|Weavile]], and after making sure Staraptor is OK to battle Ash tells him to begin with {{m|Quick Attack}}.

Olivier rules Weavile as out of the battle and Ash, now with the advantage, commends a battered Staraptor on a fantastic performance but knows better than to get too confident over this win. Ash also knows that Staraptor took a real beating and recalls it for some rest. | ||
Paul sends out Electabuzz next while Ash sends out Grotle. As {{type|Electric}} moves don't work very well against Grass types, Ash doesn't know what Paul is thinking and has Grotle use {{m|Energy Ball}}. Paul has Electabuzz use {{m|Light Screen}} and Electabuzz sets up a barrier which the Energy Ball smashes against, instead of getting a direct hit. Brock explains to Dawn that a Light Screen helps to defend against [[Special move|special attacks]] like Energy Ball, cutting down their power by half. Now the Light Screen is set up, Paul substitutes Electabuzz with {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}, a much better type-matchup against Grotle. Brock tells Reggie that Grotle [[DP100|battled against]] Honchkrow before, and it was that battle that caused {{p|Turtwig}} to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Grotle is determined to defeat Honchkrow to make up for the defeat it suffered after evolving, and Ash decides to leave it in, determined to show Paul and Honchkrow how much Grotle has improved since then. Everyone else knows this is a huge mistake on Ash's part due to the disadvantage as a Grass-type, especially Paul. | Paul sends out Electabuzz next while Ash sends out Grotle.
