Meanwhile, Reggie asks Ash to battle, wanting to evaluate him as a rival. Ash plans a three-on-three battle, similar to [[DP003|the one Ash and Paul had]], and Ash and {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} rush out. Reggie notes Chimchar is far happier now that it ever was with Paul as Brock notices that on top of the fireplace mantle are a complete collection of framed badges from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] and six of the seven [[symbol]]s from the Kanto [[Battle Frontier]]. The Frontier Symbols frame is notably missing {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s Brave Symbol. Brock thinks they're Paul’s, but they're actually Reggie’s. Dawn and Maylene arrive in time to watch the battle begin. Ash brings out {{AP|Gligar}}, which comes down on Ash's head. Ash asks Gligar to watch. Ash summons {{AP|Turtwig}} as the first as Reggie summons {{p|Bibarel}}. Turtwig fires {{m|Energy Ball}}, but Bibarel uses {{m|Super Fang}} to negate the attack before using {{m|Secret Power}} to consume Turtwig. Due to the grassy field, the effect puts Turtwig to {{status|sleep}}. Bibarel sends Turtwig flying with {{m|Take Down}}, but it wakes Turtwig. Bibarel charges with Super Fang, but Turtwig dodges and uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Ash mentions his inspiration from [[Gardenia]]'s {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}} as Turtwig prepares Energy Ball. Bibarel fires {{m|Ice Beam}}, but Turtwig jumps to dodge and fires Energy Ball, [[fainting|knocking out]] Bibarel. | Meanwhile, Reggie asks Ash to battle, wanting to evaluate him as a rival.

Reggie recalls Bibarel while Turtwig happily latches onto Ash's arm. Ash gets the first win as Dawn mentions his consistent training for Energy Ball. Lucario notices Maylene watching Ash’s battle skill intently. Reggie summons {{p|Swalot}} as Ash recalls Turtwig, checking his Pokédex before sending out {{AP|Staravia}}. Staravia launches {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Swalot absorbs it and uses {{m|Stockpile}}, gaining size and power. Ash repeats Quick Attack, and Swalot repeats Stockpile. Brock notices the pattern and predicts the outcome. Staravia switches to {{m|Aerial Ace}}, but Swalot uses {{m|Spit Up}} to unleash the energy, striking Staravia. Swalot returns to normal size as Staravia recovers and uses Aerial Ace. Swalot shoots the Pokémon down with {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, and Ash catches Staravia from the fall, giving the win to Reggie. | Reggie recalls Bibarel while Turtwig happily latches onto Ash's arm.

Reggie complements Ash’s Staravia and offers to demonstrate a [[move]]. Reggie summons {{p|Staraptor}}, stunning Staravia as Ash checks his Pokédex. Ash has Staravia watch as Pikachu takes the lead. Pikachu fires {{m|Thunderbolt}} as Staraptor dodges and charges with {{m|Brave Bird}}. Pikachu tries to spin-dodge past, but Staraptor extends its wing and strikes Pikachu, knocking it down and hitting with the full attack. Staraptor flies away as sparks emit from both Pokémon taking damage. Staraptor charges with {{m|Steel Wing}} as Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to jump and dodge. Pikachu comes down with Volt Tackle as Staraptor uses {{m|Wing Attack}} to counter. Both attacks land and Pikachu lands, shaken but standing. Staraptor took the full hit and hits the ground, unable to battle. Ash wins the match. Reggie recalls Staraptor as the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s thank each other. Ash knows that Brave Bird was the move demonstrated, and Reggie offers to teach it to Staravia, which Ash and Staravia agree to. Reggie asks Maylene to reconsider the match between her and Ash, but Dawn objects as she asked for a Gym Battle first, shocking everyone else. The episode ends as Dawn prepares for her first ever Gym Battle, which may hopefully help both Maylene and Dawn regain their shattered confidence. | Reggie complements Ash’s Staravia and offers to demonstrate a [[move]].
