Ash calms Barry down by telling him he is bound to encounter Paul again someday and warns him that when he does get to battle him, he should not let down his guard for a second. Barry asks exactly what happened between the two of them, and Ash tells Barry that he and Paul had a Full Battle (earning Barry's jealousy) and that even though he lost, Ash considers it to have been a good battle. Barry asks how Ash can think so well of a battle that he lost, and Ash tells Barry that the battle taught him that while he may be a good Trainer there is still a lot he needs to do if he wants to be the best and vows that the next time he and Paul battle he will definitely win. Barry is impressed by Ash's determination and decides to follow Paul's advice and challenge Ash to a battle which Ash accepts.

Just then, the latest update regarding [[Pokémon Contest]]s appears on [[television]], catching Dawn's attention. [[Marian]] appears with the latest news regarding the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], announcing that the event will be held at [[Valor Lakefront]]. Ash notes this was also the location of the [[Wallace Cup]], and Marian continues with news that any {{pkmn|Coordinator}} who have not yet completed their requirement of five [[Ribbon]]s need not give up as there are still seven Contests remaining before the Festival. Nearby are the [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] Team Rocket who are also listening to the news, and Jessie is very excited to hear that her own goal is not yet out of reach. Having earned three Ribbons at the {{to|Solaceon}}, {{to|Majolica}} and {{to|Lilypad}} Contests, Jessie only needs two more and she is determined to get to the [[Grand Festival]] too. Ash notes the coincidence that the Grand Festival is being held in the same place that Dawn earned the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}. Checking his [[Pokégear]], Brock tells the group they should continue on to Sunyshore City then backtrack to [[Lake Valor]] afterwards. Dawn knows that she'll need to use the spare time to start working on new [[Contest combination]]s, and Barry wishes Dawn best of luck in the Festival and then reminds Ash they're meant to be battling. The group run out of the center, while Jessie tries to leave to get her two Ribbons only to be reminded that today Team Rocket are trying to nab Pikachu and Piplup.

It is decided the match will be composed of three one-on-one battles, Brock will referee and Dawn uses the [[Coin Toss]] application on her [[Pokétch]] to decide who goes first. Barry wins the toss, and he and Ash decide to bring out their Pokémon at the same time. Throwing the [[Poké Ball]]s, Barry sends out Empoleon first while Ash starts with {{AP|Monferno}}. Barry is happy, knowing that as Empoleon is {{type|Water}} it will have the advantage over the {{type|Fire}} Monferno. However Ash and Monferno are ready to show Barry a Pokémon battle is about a lot more than just type and with that, Brock begins the match.
