Back at the Laramie household, with her injured arm, Lara would not be able to ride Ponyta, but after seeing Ash try to rein in Ponyta, she tries to convince Ash to take her place. At first, Ponyta is reluctant and burns Ash again, but Lara insists that both stand to gain from winning, with Ash improving his Trainer skills and Ponyta from its upbringing. Ash and Ponyta use the entire night to prepare for the race. | Back at the Laramie household, with her injured arm, Lara would not be able to ride Ponyta, but after seeing Ash try to rein in Ponyta, she tries to convince Ash to take her place.

At the race, many pairs have entered the race, among them Dario and Dodrio, Ash and Ponyta, Brock and {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, Misty and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}, as well as the all-Pokémon team of Pikachu and Squirtle representing Ash's entry. When the race starts, Dario and Dodrio quickly take the lead, while Pikachu and Squirtle quickly fall to the back of the pack, though they do eventually catch up. At the same time, Team Rocket make two well-aimed slingshots that spook a Tauros, and he runs into a {{p|Nidorina}}, and they take their frustrations out on each other. After a sprint comes a steep uphill portion, where Pikachu is forced to push Squirtle up the hill, putting them far behind once again. Then, the racers come upon a downhill section where another violent accident occurs: an {{p|Electrode}} and its Trainer roll down the hill uncontrollably, taking the lead in the process, and a pitfall trap dug up by Team Rocket manages to take it out.

This allows Dario to regain the lead, while Electrode's {{m|Explosion}} attack manages to incapacitate a {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Raticate}}, but most importantly Ash and Ponyta. Ash and Ponyta, however, are able to continue, thanks to Pikachu's {{m|Thunder Shock}} and the fact that the other two Pokémon were still lagging far behind. | ||
Farther up ahead is a stepping-stone portion, which Dario and Dodrio cross with ease. However, another two chasers are forced out of the competition, with Brock's Onix being fearful of water and a farmhand with his {{p|Rhyhorn}} attempting to cross a stone that sank. This leaves only four teams still racing. While Ash and Ponyta navigate the stones, Starmie and Squirtle swim across the water easily. At the next portion, teams must make a stop and allow their Pokémon to eat an entire plate of Pokémon food before sprinting to the finish. Dario and Dodrio are the first to arrive, but the other racers catch up whilst Dodrio's three heads fight over who gets to eat first. | Farther up ahead is a stepping-stone portion, which Dario and Dodrio cross with ease.
