Paul sends out his fifth Pokémon, {{DL|Paul|Froslass}}, and Ash chooses {{AP|Pikachu}}. Paul starts things off by having Froslass use {{m|Hail}}, and a thick cold mist soon covers the entire battlefield. Froslass' {{a|Snow Cloak}} Ability comes into effect as she begins fading in and out of view, preventing Pikachu from following her movements, and the situation becomes even more dire when Pikachu starts to take damage from the Hail. Ash commands him to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the Hail severely restricts the attack, and it doesn't even come close to hitting Froslass. Paul has Froslass use {{m|Ice Shard}}, and Ash commands Pikachu to dodge, but he doesn't do so in time and suffers a direct hit. {{an|Barry}} worries that the attack barrage will become one-sided at this rate. Ash decides to use physical attacks instead and has Pikachu use {{m|Volt Tackle}}, but this doesn't work either, as Froslass simply phases through it and takes no damage. Froslass attempts to use another Ice Shard from behind, but Pikachu dodges it by leaping into the air, before finally scoring a hit on Froslass with a super-effective {{m|Iron Tail}}, knocking her into the ground; with all of the damage this caused, Hail finally subsides, leaving Froslass with nowhere to hide. Although Paul is impressed at this, he continues battling and has Froslass use {{m|Ice Beam}}, which {{status|freeze}}s Pikachu. Froslass prepares to use another Ice Shard, but Pikachu manages to escape his icy prison by smashing through it with Volt Tackle, before hitting Froslass with it before she can launch the Ice Shard. As Pikachu suffers from the [[recoil]], Froslass is revealed to have fainted, thus leaving Paul with two Pokémon remaining. Although {{an|Dawn}} and Barry are happy that Ash is in the lead again, {{an|Brock}} reminds them that while Ash may have more remaining Pokémon, they have all taken considerable damage, whereas one of Paul's remaining two Pokémon has yet to enter the battle. Because of that, Ash is still operating at a disadvantage. Ash knows the round took a lot out of Pikachu, so he calls him back to the sidelines.

Paul sends Drapion back out and Ash calls on Gliscor again, encouraging it to show Paul what it learned from [[McCann]]. Drapion uses Pin Missile to start things off and Gliscor dodges easily by launching into the sky. Gliscor uses Stone Edge, and Drapion uses Cross Poison to neutralize the attack, leaving behind a large smoke cloud that encases Gliscor. Ash tells Gliscor to use {{m|Giga Impact}}, and it readies the attack, before flying erratically inside the smoke cloud to keep Paul and Drapion guessing about where it will emerge from. When Gliscor does emerge, Paul commands Drapion to use Poison Fang, but Gliscor hits Drapion in the back before it can do so. Paul commands Drapion to turn around and counterattack as it did with Buizel and Staraptor, but both are shocked to find Gliscor is nowhere to be seen. They look up to see that Gliscor had used the recoil from the attack to quickly launch itself back into the air, safe from attack while it recharges from using Giga Impact. Reggie remarks that Paul can no longer predict Ash's strategies, and with Paul's greatest strength now rendered moot, the winner of this battle is now anyone's guess. Reggie's thoughts are proven right as Paul realizes that he fell for Ash's strategy of using Stone Edge to divert his attention. Paul has Drapion launch yet another Pin Missile, but Gliscor fearlessly flies right into the attack, expertly dodging every shot. Drapion readies an {{m|X-Scissor}} and dives straight for Drapion, with both Ash and Paul ready to give it their all as the battle enters its final stages.
