When last seen, {{Ash}} and {{Gary}} were in their six-on-six match on a rock field. The match is even, with Gary down {{p|Magmar}} and Ash down {{AP|Tauros}} (Gary also has his {{p|Nidoqueen}} in reserve). Gary's starter, {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}} had launched a {{m|Hydro Pump}} to counter {{AP|Heracross}}' own {{m|Fury Swipes}}. However, despite a last-minute evasion tactic behind a rock, Hydro Pump manages to blast through the rock and Heracross is knocked out.

However, despite a last-minute evasion tactic behind a rock, Hydro Pump manages to blast through the rock and Heracross is knocked out.


Ash sends out {{AP|Muk}} to battle. Blastoise uses {{m|Skull Bash}}, but Muk isn't fazed by the attack. Muk uses a {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, but Blastoise uses {{m|Rapid Spin}} to deflect the shot. Continuing to spin, it tries to hit Muk, but Muk easily catches and smothers its opponent. Blastoise escapes the pin with a Hydro Pump, and Ash pulls Muk for {{AP|Bayleef}}, hoping that a {{type2|Grass}} will provide a good advantage over Blastoise. Bayleef evades the first Hydro Pump with {{m|Vine Whip}} jump, but her airborne {{m|Razor Leaf}} is deflected by Rapid Spin. Making matters worse, Bayleef's attempt to use {{m|Body Slam}} is met with a {{m|Bite}} attack from Blastoise. She gets tossed by her leaf, and is knocked out.

Since Ash has now lost three Pokémon, the referee calls for a 5-minute intermission. During the break, {{AP|Pikachu}} wants in on the match against Blastoise, and is visibly upset when Ash explains that he can only use his six entrants that were arranged before the match. In the stands, {{Delia}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} reminisce about the match bringing back memories from the boys' childhood growing up together.

When the break ends, Ash sends out {{AP|Snorlax}}, while Gary resumes with {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}; Brock believing that he will save Blastoise for last. Arcanine uses {{m|Take Down}} to charge straight at Snorlax, who responds with {{m|Body Slam}}. Arcanine evades the attack, and traps Snorlax with {{m|Fire Spin}}, but Snorlax then blasts a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at Arcanine. It is a direct hit, and although Arcanine tries to get up, the attack proves to be too much and Arcanine is knocked out.

Nidoqueen is sent back out. Ash warns Snorlax to be careful since Nidoqueen also knows Hyper Beam. Using its tail to jump (a tactic copied from Bayleef), Nidoqueen manages to land down on Snorlax and damage it with {{m|Double Kick}}. Nidoqueen then blasts a Hyper Beam, but Snorlax ducks the attack and counters back with an {{m|Ice Punch}}, taking Nidoqueen out of the match. Gary's {{p|Scizor}} is sent out against Snorlax, and after a series of {{m|Quick Attack}}s, Scizor defeats Snorlax with a {{m|Metal Claw}} to the face of a missed Hyper Beam. With Scizor playing a speed game, Brock notes that Ash had put his entries with power battling in mind, and his two remaining Pokémon will have trouble against Scizor. Sending Muk back out, Muk easily absorbs a Quick Attack, allowing to attack with Sludge Bomb which Scizor evades (even though Steel's Poison immunity would have made the attack ineffective even if it did make contact). Scizor uses Metal Claw again, which, though Muk absorbs it, it allows Scizor to lift and throw Muk into the air. One {{m|Swift}} later, and Muk is knocked out.
Nidoqueen is sent back out. Ash warns Snorlax to be careful since Nidoqueen also knows Hyper Beam.

Now down to one Pokémon against three (Scizor, Blastoise, and an unrevealed Pokémon), Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}}. Gary notes he figured that Ash would use his Charizard last. Scizor lunges toward Charizard with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Charizard attacks with {{m|Flamethrower}}, but Scizor jumps to avoid the attack, however Ash refuses to let it get away this time. Charizard then meets Scizor airborne much to Scizor and Gary's shock before Scizor is knocked out by a super-effective Flamethrower to the face. Gary, undaunted, sends out {{p|Golem}}. Brock and Misty note that Charizard will have a hard time against Golem (due to the double weakness to {{t|Rock}}-types). Golem leads off with {{m|Magnitude}}, which manages to stun Charizard. Charizard attempts to {{m|Seismic Toss}} Golem, but it is too heavy (Professor Oak pointing out that Golem is second only to Snorlax in terms of mass). Golem lands back on its feet and attacks with {{m|Rollout}}, but Ash orders Charizard to use {{m|Dragon Rage}} which hits Golem and knocks it out of the match.

Now Ash has pulled even with Gary - the match is down to Blastoise and Charizard, winner take all.

Charizard's opening Flamethrower is deflected by Rapid Spin, but isn't as lucky itself as it takes a Hydro Pump to the face. Taking to the skies, its airborne attack is repelled by a Skull Bash. As [[Macy]], [[Vincent|Jackson]], and {{jo|Harrison}} look on from the stands for Ash's next move, Ash decides to have Charizard make another aerial approach, evading Hydro Pumps along the way. However, Charizard cannot seem to find a desperately needed opening. Brock notes that Charizard will need a close-range attack to have a good shot of knocking out Blastoise against the type advantage.

Although he knows that Ash's specialty is thinking outside-the-box, Gary is still nevertheless puzzled by Ash's tactic of having Charizard using Flamethrower to heat up the field. Blastoise is immobilized by the red-hot field, something that not even a type advantage could cover. Resorting to cool the field using Hydro Pump, Blastoise only succeeds in covering the field in steam. When the steam clears, Blastoise and Charizard have locked up in close-range combat - too close for Blastoise to aim its hydro cannons. Though Blastoise manages to duck out of a Dragon Rage, it allows Charizard to attempt a Seismic Toss. Blastoise tries to escape by biting Charizard's arm, but to no avail. The attack continues and once Charizard and Blastoise land on the ground, everyone begins to wonder who won. When the smoke clears, Blastoise is able to get up, as both Pokémon have a staring match. Blastoise soon however succumbs to the damage it took and faints. Ash, realizing that he just beat Gary, stands in awe, then jumps for joy and thanks Charizard for a spectacular battle.
