Having both progressed through the initial rounds of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], it's finally time for Ash and Paul's long awaited league battle. With {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Barry}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} (acting as cheerleader) watching from the stands, [[Team Rocket]] selling snacks to the audience and {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Cynthia]] and [[Charles Goodshow]] observing too, both competitors are brought into the main stadium where they will conduct a [[full battle]] to decide who get through to the semi-finals. Ash decides to begin with {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Paul sends out his first Pokémon, {{TP|Paul|Aggron}}.

The action then shows a flashback of Ash preparing for his battle against Paul by getting in some last-minute training alongside {{AP|Gliscor}}, which has recently returned from it's training with [[McCann]] the Air Master. Gliscor practices {{m|Giga Impact}} in a session with Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} while {{an|Barry}} watches from Ash's side. After commending his Pokémon on how much its improved since being left for training, Ash reflects on his [[DP131|past]] [[DP132|battle]] with Paul, on how badly he lost and how much he's hoped to have improved. Inside the [[Pokémon Center]], Dawn preps Piplup and gives him his new cheering uniform. Meanwhile, Paul talks to [[Reggie]] about his upcoming battle with Ash. Paul discovers Dawn eavesdropping and Paul confesses his main problem with Ash... his talk about bringing out a Pokémon's inner strength and how any Pokémon has the potential to be strong reminds him a lot of Reggie. Dawn points out to Paul that just as Reggie is Reggie, Ash is Ash and does things his own way. Everyone soon meets outside, and Paul makes Ash promise to give him a good battle to which Ash agrees.
