After Ash's disappointing failure, the Squirtle Squad faces off against a team of Golduck, who apparently came in second place in the previous Grand Prix. Aiden worries that the pressure of the competition may be braking the Squirtle's concentration. His diagnosis proves correct; the Squad looks even more nervous than it did during the practice session! As the round starts, the Golduck team spring quickly and efficiently into action, with each Golduck taking one side of the burning house. The Squirtle Squad, on the other hand, appears too nervous to move. When they finally get going, one of the Squirtle trips and bowls over the others, bring them all down in a struggling heap. After managing to get to their feet, the Squad aim their Water Guns at their burning house, but the [[Move|attack]] is weak and uncoordinated. At this rate, the Golduck will win easily! Concerned, Ash's Squirtle hurries up to Jenny, followed by Ash and Pikachu. Jenny's attempts to get the Squad to listen to her are futile, but then Ash comes up with a bright idea: Pikachu uses {{m|ThunderShock}} on the Squirtle to get their attention. Ash tells them that they need to listen to their leader. At this, Ash's Squirtle looks surprised, but Ash reassurres it by saying that the Squad needs it. Squirtle takes control once again, and under its leadership, the Squad gets back into the fight. In the end, it's a close match, but the Squirtle Squad come out on top!

Suddenly, the extinguished fire reignites, and the house soon explodes. From the ground beneath where the house stood emerges Team Rocket in one of their giant [[Team Rocket's mechas|contraptions]]. After reciting the [[Team Rocket's motto|motto]], Team Rocket proceeds with their nefarious plan. Their machine, called the Torcher Scorcher, shoots flames out of its arms straight at the Squirtle, Jenny, Ash, and Pikachu! Aiden and Team Wartortle come to the rescue with the team's Water Guns, but [[James]] simply turns up the heat. Other trainers start running towards the Torcher Scorcher with their Pokémon to try to help, but that was what Team Rocket was waiting for! {{MTR}} presses a button and sends nets flying out from the Torcher Scorcher's body, esnaring all the Pokémon - except the Squirtle Squad. Ash tries to run at the giant mecha, but Jenny pulls him away just in time to avoid the flames. As Team Rocket douses the stadium in fire, Ash tells his Squirtle that it must lead the Squirtle Squad to defeat Team Rocket and rescue the Pokémon. After a short huddle, the Squirtle Squad don the infamous glasses of its delinquent days and aim their Water Guns at the Torcher Scorcher. Team Rocket tries to step on the Squirtle, but Ash's Squirtle's orders keep its team members from getting crushed. Brock and Misty happily note the teamwork and superb timing of the Squad. Finally, Team Rocket gets dizzy from their efforts, and the mecha loses its balance and falls over. Squirtle crashes into Team Rocket's command station and blasts them against the wall with Water Gun. Then it stomps on all the controls, sending sparks flying. The door to the mecha's holding area opens, freeing the Pokémon! Squirtle jumps out of the Torcher Scorcher, but Team Rocket isn't through yet. The mecha gets up and prepares to blast Ash, Jenny, and the Pokémon with fire, but before Team Rocket can act, Pikachu and Squirtle combine their {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Water Gun attacks to blast the mecha. Team Rocket bids a bitterly painful farewell!

While construnction trucks are busy repairing the stadium, Ash has a talk with his Squirtle. He says that the Squirtle Squad is very strong, but they need their leader. Ash's Squirtle looks sadly between its trainer and its friends; Ash smiles encouragingly, and the Squad looks hopeful. Squirtle makes its decision: it will lead the Squirtle Squad like it did in the old days!

The Squad moves through the competition smoothly with newfound confidence. Team Wartortle also do very well. Finally, the final face-off begins, with the Squirtle Squad facing off against Team Wartortle. The challange is to retrive a dummy from a burning building and extinguish the fire in the least amount of time. Ash shouts encouragement to the Squad; Misty shouts good luck to the Wartortle; Brock shouts his support for... Officer Jenny. While Ash's Squirtle and the leader of Team Wartortle head into their separate buildings, their team members do their best to put out the fires. Then the leaders of both teams emerge with their dummies and direct their teams to put out the fire. The air is thick with tension as both teams race neck-and-neck. At last, the final Water Gun barrage extinguishes the fire in both houses, but who came first? Team Wartortle's total time is recorded to be 3:54:02, and the Squirtle Squad's time... is 3:53:00! As the stadium erupts with cheers, Officer Jenny and the Squirtle Squad celebrate their unexpected victory. Aiden and Team Wartortle congratulate the Squad with a salute, which they return happily.

At the end of the day, Ash congratulates his Squirtle. Jenny thanks Ash for letting his Squirtle leave his [[Party|party]] and continue leading the Squirtle Squad. Squirtle says goodbye to Pikachu, Misty, and Brock, and then looks at Ash's other Pokémon. {{AP|Chikorita}} and {{AP|Cyndaquil}} both nod farewell, but as Squirtle holds out its claws to {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to shake, Bulbasaur turns away! But then it extends a {{m|Vine Whip|vine}} to its long-time friend, shaking solemly. Jenny heads away on her {{wp|Motorcycle|motorcycle}}, with the Squirtle Squad riding in the back. As his Squirtle recedes into the distance, an emotional Ash yells that they will always be friends, no matter what. He remembers all the good times they had, from the moment Squirtle expressed its wish to join Ash's team to the present.
