 Paul sends out Electabuzz next while Ash sends out Grotle. As {{type2|Electric}} moves don't work very well against Grass-types, Ash doesn't know what Paul is thinking and has Grotle use {{m|Energy Ball}}. Paul has Electabuzz use {{m|Light Screen}} and Electabuzz sets up a barrier which the Energy Ball smashes against, instead of getting a direct hit. Brock explains to Dawn that a Light Screen helps to defend against [[Special move|special attacks]] like Energy Ball, cutting down their power by half. Now the Light Screen is set up, Paul substitutes Electabuzz with [[Honchkrow]], a much better type-matchup against Grotle. Brock tells Reggie that Grotle [[DP100|battled against]] Honchkrow before, and it was that battle that caused {{p|Turtwig}} to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Grotle is determined to defeat Honchkrow to make up for the defeat it suffered after evolving, and Ash decides to leave it in, determined to show Paul and Honchkrow how much Grotle has improved since then. Everyone else knows this is a huge mistake on Ash's part due to the disadvantage as a Grass-type, especially Paul.
-{{m|Night Slash}} is used by Honchkrow after a missed Razor Leaf, and although Grotle tries to stand up to it the hit is still powerful. Ash orders Grotle to use Energy Ball, however Honchkrow is shielded by the Light Screen making him and Dawn realizes that Light Screen can be passed on to other Pokémon. With the type-advantage and the Light Screen, Brock tells Dawn that Paul is trying to overwhelm Ash as Honchkrow is told to use {{m|Haze}} which surrounds Grotle. Normally when Paul battles, it's to polish up his Pokémon's moves or to increase their power but he has a diffrent motive during this battle. Paul is going for the win. Reggie explains that Paul has worked out Ash's battle style which is allowing him to keep the pressure on Ash. When Grotle gets Night Slashed again,  Ash sees that it is exhausted by now, so he has it use {{m|Synthesis}}. As Grotle regains its energy, Paul takes advantage of the moment and tells tells Honchkrow to use {{m|Sky Attack}}. Honchkrow begins glowing and makes a direct line for Grotle. Ash has Grotle use {{m|Rock Climb}} to try and counter, and the attacks collide, obscuring both Pokémon, however Honchkrow flies clear while Grotle has been knocked out. Olivier rules Grotle as being unable to battle, and Ash recalls it as Paul recalls Honchkrow. Reggie, noting on Ash's poor judgment, points out that using Synthesis as healing moves have the disadvantage of leaving a Pokémon open to attack and a trainer should make note of the opponent's condition before using one or be an easy target. Brock concurs, knowing that Ash wanted to have Grotle defeat Honchkrow so bad, it clouded his judgment.

 Both trainers must select new Pokémon, and Pikachu lets Ash know he's ready to go up next. Ash can see his partner is determined to help defeat Paul and sends him into the battle. Paul sends in a Pokémon that surprises everyone, {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}, evolved from his {{p|Magmar}}. With one of his Pokémon down, and feeling the pressure piling on, Ash prepares to take on Magmortar.
