The episode begins right where it left off, with {{AP|Gliscor}} diving towards Drapion with an {{m|X-Scissor}} attack. It is subsequently blocked by Drapion's {{m|Pin Missile}} at the last moment, sending Gliscor flying back and landing on the ground. When [[Paul]] instructs Drapion to use {{m|Cross Poison}}, {{Ash}} calls out to Gliscor to use {{m|Fire Fang}}, and Gliscor is all ready to go. It jumps up, dodging the Cross Poison along the way. Gliscor lands the Fire Fang attack, which envelops Drapion {{status|Burn|in fire}} for a moment. Drapion then subsequently fainted, thus leaving Paul with one final Pokémon. The gang decides to cheer him on, but {{an|Brock}} reminds everyone that while Ash may have three Pokémon left, they've all taken damage as opposed to Paul's final Pokémon who has yet to enter the battle. | The episode begins right where it left off, with {{AP|Gliscor}} diving towards Drapion with an {{m|X-Scissor}} attack.

Ash decides to call back Gliscor when Paul sends out his final Pokémon which is none other than {{TP|Paul|Electivire}}, the only Pokémon on Paul's current team that Ash has battled before. Gliscor lets Ash know it can still battle, so Ash decided to leave Gliscor in given that it has a type-advantage over Electivire. Paul tells Electivire to start by using {{m|Thunder}} and directing it into the ground. Electivire sends its twin tails into the ground and directs Thunder into it, which sends chunks of the ground up into the air and falling onto Gliscor. {{an|Brock}} realizes that Paul thought of this strategy as a result of {{AP|Infernape}} using {{m|Flare Blitz}} underground earlier. Ash tells Gliscor to use {{m|Giga Impact}} and Electivire blocks the attack with its hands and catches Gliscor with its tail. Ash tries to call out a command, but Gliscor is unable to make an attack. Paul tells Electivire to use {{m|Brick Break}} on Gliscor, and it lands on Gliscor's head, causing it to faint. Thus, leaving Ash with two Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Infernape. | Ash decides to call back Gliscor when Paul sends out his final Pokémon which is none other than {{TP|Paul|Electivire}}, the only Pokémon on Paul's current team that Ash has battled before.

Infernape collapses to the ground when Electivire finally lets it go. As it has taken a severe beating throughout the match. The gang, {{an|Barry}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and [[Team Rocket]] are all desperate for Infernape to get up but it appears to have been too much. The [[battle judge|referee]] begins to declare Infernape unable to battle... when Electivire interrupts him, knowing that Infernape still has the ability to fight and wants to finish the battle properly. Paul tells Infernape that he thought it had gotten stronger, but once again all it has managed to do is disappoint him before he turns away as if to leave... | Infernape collapses to the ground when Electivire finally lets it go.

Infernape suddenly regains its senses and Ash responds to him 'not | Infernape suddenly regains its senses and Ash responds to him 'fraid not!'. Much to everyone's (except Ash's) surprise, Infernape stands, and Ash declares that it's time to show Paul just how strong Infernape has become as it activates its {{a|Blaze}}. Reggie realizes Ash must have wanted that Mach Punch thrown earlier to miss on purpose so he can have Infernape unlock its true power. Ash orders a Flamethrower, and Infernape fires a super-powerful blast at Electivire who tries to hold it back with Thunder but can't stand up to the sheer power. Ash then has Infernape use Mach Punch which hits and sends Electivire flying but it still lands on its feet. Now both fully absorbed in the intensity of the match, Paul screams for a ThunderPunch while Ash orders Infernape to use {{m|Flare Blitz}}. The two Pokémon, battling to the limits of their power, land their attacks against the other which creates a maelstrom of fire and electricity streaming into the sky, illuminating the stadium. Eventually Infernape ends up on the other side of Electivire, feeling the recoil from Flare Blitz while Electivire, after a delayed reaction, feels the force of the power attack. The smoke clears, but Electivire is still standing and the two Pokémon stare each other down... as do their trainers as a deathly silence falls over the battlefield. The two Pokémon remain perfectly still for what feels like an eternity... until, finally, Electivire falls and is declared as being unable to continue, making Ash the victor of this truly intense battle. Brock, Dawn, Piplup and Barry scream out in elation for Ash's victorious win over Paul. [[Team Rocket]] is elated Ash won, leaving Jessie happy and James in tears. Then, they remembered they accidentally ate all the food, while during the battle. Paul thanks Electivire for its hard work. As Paul is about to say something, Infernape almost fell but got held by Ash. Paul walks away relieved and the pairing results for the next battle come up, pairing Ash with the mysterious [[Tobias]] and {{p|Darkrai|his Darkrai}}. Tobias saw the screen and walked away. Back in [[Veilstone City]], Reggie delivers the news to Paul's other Pokémon, who are sad Paul lost but happy that he gave it his all. | ||
Later, Brock and Dawn are walking outside and run into Barry, where they are all looking for Ash. Then, [[Cynthia]] comes forward, and Barry is awestruck at being face-to-face with the Champion. Cynthia explains that although Ash and Paul are very different people and may never truly be friends, all their time feuding and battling with each other has created a bond between them that can never be broken. Both have learnt a lot from each other and have both become far stronger as a result... | Later, Brock and Dawn are walking outside and run into Barry, where they are all looking for Ash.
