Hun taunts that their legend will last forever as they have brains and science on their side—but Jimmy, Vincent, and Marina will not let that happen. They send out Typhlosion, Little Miss, and Meganium. Typhlosion uses Flamethrower, but the field now surrounding Raikou stops it. Jimmy suggests using combined forces again, but Eugene tells them that it won't work. If the field explodes with Raikou trapped inside, then the blast would be so powerful that it would destroy even Raikou. | Hun taunts that their legend will last forever as they have brains and science on their side—but Jimmy, Vincent, and Marina will not let that happen.

They would have to break the field open, grab Raikou, and then get out before the explosion, but whoever goes in might never come out. After a moment of deep consideration, Typhlosion volunteers to do it. As Typhlosion runs forward, so do Little Miss and Meganium. Skarmory and Steelix attack, but Eugene sends out {{p|Alakazam}} to provide enough of a distraction to let the other Pokémon past. Typhlosion uses {{m|Flame Wheel}} on the field, while Meganium uses {{m|Light Screen}}. | ||
Attila then sends his {{p|Muk}} into the battle to use {{m|Sludge Bomb}}. Little Miss counters with Psybeam, but is hit by Skarmory's wing. Skarmory then flies up to avoid Alakazam's Psybeam. While this is going on, Meganium and Typhlosion begin to drain energy from the crystal's force field. Raikou wakes up, allowing it to flee on its own if they are successful, giving the other Pokémon enough time to get away. | Attila then sends his {{p|Muk}} into the battle to use {{m|Sludge Bomb}}.

While the Trainers celebrate, Raikou breaks the crystal once and for all. They thank Raikou for saving them before it runs off, safe again at last. Knowing that they will never forget Raikou, the Trainers cheer. The narrator tells us that they continued on their journeys to become great Pokémon Trainers, while Raikou continued its own journey, occasionally checking in on the three humans that turned out to be friends after all. | While the Trainers celebrate, Raikou breaks the crystal once and for all.
