Paul then sends out his {{p|Gastrodon}} and Ash calls back Infernape and sends out {{AP|Staraptor}}. Gastrodon begins with {{m|Muddy Water}} and Staraptor uses {{m|Quick Attack}} and connects; Gastrodon continues using Muddy Water, circling its head above its body, and clips Staraptor. It quickly becomes clear that Gastrodon is using Ash's [[Counter Shield]] technique. Ash instructs Staraptor to dive down and use <!--so is it Quick Attack or Aerial Ace (see three lines above)--> Aerial Ace, and Gastrodon counter-attacks with {{m|Body Slam}}, trapping Staraptor with its soft body. Gastrodon then uses {{m|Water Pulse}} and shoots it straight up into the sky, which then picks up speed as it comes down. Gastrodon watches it intently; Ash and the gang realize that it will jump away at the last second, giving no time for Staraptor to dodge it. Just when all seems lost, Ash has Staraptor use {{m|Close Combat}} hard into the ground, lifting him up, which knocks off Gastrodon and he escapes the Water Pulse. Paul orders Gastrodon to use {{m|Ice Beam}} while falling backwards, bringing the in-flight Staraptor to a screeching halt and crashing onto the field. Knowing Staraptor is at a big disadvantage since Gastrodon knows Ice Beam, Ash decides that he will have to recall Staraptor for later and change his strategy. | Paul then sends out his {{p|Gastrodon}} and Ash calls back Infernape and sends out {{AP|Staraptor}}.

He knows Ash is just trying to get rid of all the frustration his Pokémon felt from that loss back at Lake Acuity into his advantage here which is why he brought them all back for this battle. Ash states he is correct and that this is all what his Pokémon want. He knows they lost to him back at [[Lake Acuity]], but they are still beating him here no matter what. Buizel agrees immediately to what Ash has said. Gastrodon uses Ice Beam again and Buizel uses {{m|Aqua Jet}}, turning it into Ice Aqua Jet to hit Gastrodon. This hits Gastodon and causes it to jump up and Gastrodon then goes for Body Slam, and Ash thinks quickly and instructs Buizel to meet the attack with {{m|Ice Punch}}, causing Gastrodon to faint. | ||
Ash settles himself, adjusting his cap and knows that the hard part of the battle has only just begun. At home in [[Veilstone City]], Reggie watches the broadcast, remarking that Paul had a back-up plan of Gastrodon using Ice Beam if Staraptor escaped, and wonders if Ash figured out that Paul had planned to sacrifice Aggron and Gastrodon all along in the first place. If not, he will need to do so right away. | Ash settles himself, adjusting his cap and knows that the hard part of the battle has only just begun.
