Aboard the boat, Tad explains that he is trying to get into the "[[Pokémon League]]". He states that he battled | Aboard the boat, Tad explains that he is trying to get into the "[[Pokémon League]]". He states that he battled [[Rudy]] after Ash did, and overheard Rudy commend Ash for using pure power to win. After Misty comments that Ash does not have any skill, Tad challenges Ash to a {{pkmn|battle}}, claiming that he likes to challenge people who know what to do. Misty, however, jokes about this by pretending not to see Ash while Tad describes him. They then set a course toward [[Cleopatra Island]], which they presume to be deserted. However, {{TRT}} is already on the island, doing some repairs to one of their [[Team Rocket's mechas|machines]]. {{MTR}} spots Ash and {{ashfr}} approaching the island through his binoculars, he then alerts [[Jessie]] and [[James]], who hope to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}. | ||
After the group reaches Cleopatra Island, the battle begins. Ash selects Pikachu for the match, while Tad chooses his {{p|Poliwrath}}, which is wearing the golden championship belt that it won from Tad's hometown for being the most powerful Pokémon there. Misty is puzzled by the choice, given that Poliwrath has the [[type]] disadvantage. Tracey urges Ash to watch out for any tricks, but Ash is nonetheless confident. He orders Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Poliwrath immediately uses {{m|Double Team}} to evade the attack and surround Pikachu. At Ash's command, Pikachu then uses {{m|Quick Attack}} to get rid of the illusory Poliwrath. Pikachu finds the real Poliwrath and uses his tail to shock it, but his opponent is unfazed by the {{t|Electric}} attack. Poliwrath quickly uses {{m|Hypnosis}}, followed by {{m|Water Gun}} to defeat Pikachu. Tracey explains that Tad let Pikachu use his energy up so that when Poliwrath used its own power, it could easily defeat Pikachu. Tad admits that there is more to battling than type match-ups and that he likes to use the element of surprise. | After the group reaches Cleopatra Island, the battle begins.
