Ash decides to call back Gliscor when Paul sends out his final Pokémon which is none other than {{TP|Paul|Electivire}}, the only Pokémon on Paul's current team that Ash has battled before. Ash knows that Gliscor is immune to Electivire's electric-type moves, but is still concerned about leaving it in. However Gliscor lets Ash know it can still battle, so Ash decides not to switch it out. Paul tells Electivire to start by using {{m|Thunder}} and directing it into the ground. Electivire sends its tails into the ground and directs Thunder into it, which sends chunks of the earth up into the air and falling onto Gliscor. {{an|Brock}} realizes that Paul thought of this strategy as a result of {{AP|Infernape}} using {{m|Flare Blitz}} underground earlier. Ash tells Gliscor to use {{m|Giga Impact}} and Electivire blocks the attack with its hands and catches Gliscor with its tails. Ash tries to call out a command, but Gliscor is unable to make an attack. Paul tells Electivire to use {{m|Brick Break}} on Gliscor, and it lands on Gliscor's head, causing it to faint. Thus, leaving Ash with two Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Infernape.

Ash sends in Pikachu next, and Paul tells Electivire to direct Thunder into the ground again. Once again, the ground erupts and rocks are sent flying to towards Pikachu. However Pikachu is ready and uses {{m|Quick Attack}} to dodge the falling rocks, even using some of them for momentum, and lands a direct hit on Electivire causing damage. However, Electivire recovers and grabs Pikachu with its tails and when Pikachu tries to use {{m|Iron Tail}}, Electivire jolts Pikachu around so that he can't land the attack. Pikachu hits the ground, but is able to escape the pseudo-Constrict by Electivire's tails. Paul tells Electivire to use Brick Break, and Pikachu tries to prevent the attack from happening with Quick Attack, but Electivire lands the attack dead-on. The two Pokémon jump back after clearing the impact. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Volt Tackle}}, sending Reggie watching from a television in [[Veilstone City]] and {{an|Barry}} to stand up, knowing that this was a bad move on Ash's part. Paul, knowing what is about to happen, tells Electivire to block. Electivire holds out its arms as Pikachu lands Volt Tackle, and the attack is so powerful that electricity lights up the entire stadium. As Pikachu lands and is damaged by the recoil{{tt|*|Pikachu would not have suffered recoil in the games, as this effect does not take place when the move causing it doesn't damage the target}}, Electivire starts to speed up thanks to its {{a|Motor Drive}} Ability (which increases Electivire's speed when hit by an {{Type|Electric}} attack, such as Pikachu's Volt Tackle). Paul tells Electivire to use {{m|ThunderPunch}}, and Electivire speeds forward so fast it can barely be seen and prepares to strike. However it seems Ash anticipated this, and actually allowed the speed boost to draw Electivire in. Ash tells Pikachu to use Iron Tail at the last moment and the two attacks collide together. However, the strategy has backfired on Ash as Pikachu is left unable to move. Paul recounts his and Ash's [[DP003|first battle]] when Pikachu was battling Elekid, and how Ash wanted Pikachu to get close so he could finish the battle with Iron Tail. Paul tells Ash that this time Pikachu's stuck and if it lets up even a little, it will be overcome by ThunderPunch. Ash knows Electivire can still use a move with its left hand: Brick Break. Paul tells Electivire to use Brick Break, and as Electivire powers up its fist Ash tells Pikachu to try and get away but it's too late as Brick Break lands directly on Pikachu's head, sending him flying. Pikachu tries to get up after landing from the fall but it turns out to have been too much and Pikachu faints, leaving Ash with one Pokémon left, Infernape. Ash puts Pikachu behind him, and thanks him for his hard work.

Ash sends out Infernape. Electivire and Infernape have a long standing rivalry, even from the {{p|Chimchar}}-{{p|Elekid}} days. [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} are busy stuffing their faces, watching this intense battle, when they should be selling the food. Electivire starts things out with a ThunderPunch and Infernape counters with {{m|Mach Punch}}, and the two attacks collide and neutralize each other. Infernape uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, which is blocked by Electivire's {{m|Protect}}. Electivire uses {{m|Thunder}} to create a [[Counter Shield]] around the battlefield, but Infernape uses {{m|Dig}} to travel underground and avoid the attack. Infernape surfaces below Electivire and hits it dead-on, but then takes damage from the {{status|poison}} it received earlier. Electivire manages to stand up. After yet another blocked Flamethrower, Infernape and Electivire start attacking with Mach Punch and ThunderPunch, respectively continuously. They both each land an attack before another Flamethrower by Infernape is blocked by Electivire's Protect. Ash instructs Infernape to use Mach Punch, but Electivire dodges it and wraps its tail around Infernape's arm. Reggie still watching the battle pleads Ash not to fall for that trick again. It uses Thunder while Infernape is connected to it, causing more damage than a normal Thunder attack. It continues to use Thunder on Infernape for a long time.

In this battle, four of ''Ash's'' Pokémon scored victories with one getting three and the other three each getting one (exactly like Paul in the first battle) while two of Paul's scored knockouts (like Ash in the first battle).
