Meanwhile, the three friends are still searching the city for Togepi, as they meet back at the front of the Gym none of them have seen Togepi anywhere. However they hear Togepi's voice coming from inside the Gym. Pulling open the heavy doors reveals not only Togepi, but Gary and his fans lying unconscious on the ground. As Ash pulls Gary back to consciousness, Gary says that the mysterious Pokémon is not only powerful, it's evil as well, despite Ash's assertion that there can't be an evil Pokémon. Gary's fans are inconsolable, unable to believe that their hero lost a battle. As Gary announces that no one will ever beat the Pokémon, Team Rocket appears and begins to recite their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]], however they are interrupted by Ash, and his friends. To counter Misty's claim that their motto is never any different they state that "today is very different" because they are now in charge of the Gym and the {{Badge|Earth}}. When the trio demands to know why Team Rocket has a Gym James explains that Team Rocket's plans are far too complex for them to understand before asking Jessie what they are, who Meowth reveals, doesn't know them either. Jessie then angrily sends Meowth flying. | Meanwhile, the three friends are still searching the city for Togepi, as they meet back at the front of the Gym none of them have seen Togepi anywhere.

Jessie raises two platforms on either side of the battlefield and invites Ash to take his place as the challenger on the green platform. Despite, his friends warnings that Team Rocket have probably booby trapped the box, Ash ascends as Jessie calls the three Pokémon Giovanni gave her; {{p|Machamp}}, Kingler and {{p|Rhydon}}. | Jessie raises two platforms on either side of the battlefield and invites Ash to take his place as the challenger on the green platform. Despite, his friends warnings that Team Rocket have probably booby trapped the box, Ash ascends as Jessie calls the three Pokémon Giovanni gave her; {{p|Machamp}}, Kingler and {{p|Rhydon}}. Ash calls out {{AP|Squirtle}}, and the battle begins. Jessie orders Machamp to use {{m|Karate Chop}}, striking Squirtle many times. As the blows land, Ash is given a shock; the box turned out to be rigged so that the Trainer feels all the pain his Pokémon feels. Ash withdraws Squirtle and sends in {{p|Bulbasaur}} prompting Jessie to switch to Kingler. Ash orders Bulbasaur to use {{m|Vine Whip}} as Jessie orders Kingler to use {{m|Harden}}. Bulbasaur's Vine Whip is rendered ineffective. Pressing the advantage, Jessie orders a {{m|Bubble}} attack, causing Ash to feel the pain as the Water move strikes Bulbasaur. | ||
Gary calls to Ash to give in, claiming the Pokémon are too strong, but Ash refuses to give up as he trusts his Pokémon. | Gary calls to Ash to give in, claiming the Pokémon are too strong, but Ash refuses to give up as he trusts his Pokémon. Ash calls out {{p|Pidgeotto}} and orders it to use {{m|Quick Attack}} which slams into Rhydon, inflicting damage to it. Sparks of electricity starts crackling at Jessie's feet which she notices. Ash then orders Pidgeotto to use {{m|Double-Edge}} which also slams into Rhydon, causing more damage to it. Now Jessie is on the receiving end of the pain. James reveals that he rigged both sides, as it hadn't occurred to him that they might lose. Meowth, on the other hand, planned for just such an eventuality, and reveals a remote control, which can cause either platform to explode. Meowth is about to press the button, but Gary tackles him, sending the remote flying. Seeing as they are now at a disadvantage, Jessie and James call on {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} to aid them. Ash orders Pikachu to attack, using an Electric move to attack all the opposing Pokémon at once. This show of force sends Machamp, Rhydon and Kingler running away, and Weezing and Arbok crashing into the equally shocked Jessie. Ash greets his Pokémon celebrating their hard won victory. Gary's fans do a cheer in Ash's honor, and even Gary is forced to admit that Ash is a pretty good Trainer. | ||
Ash approaches Jessie and demands the Earth Badge as proof of his victory, but she refuses. | Ash approaches Jessie and demands the Earth Badge as proof of his victory, but she refuses. As they argue, Meowth sees Togepi playing with the remote control. Despite Meowth's protests, Togepi presses a button, forcing Meowth to reveal, far too late, that he had rigged both platforms to be able to explode. Sure enough, the trio's platform blows up, sending Team Rocket blasting off again, and the Earth Badge falling into Ash's hands. They all are forced to flee as the Gym begins to collapse around them. | ||
As the Trio continues their journey, Brock wonders if they will ever see the Pokémon Gary saw, while Ash is only interested in his eight Badges -- his ticket to the Pokémon League. Realizing that they don't know where the Pokémon League is, they decide to head for Pallet Town to consult with {{an|Professor Oak}}. | As the Trio continues their journey, Brock wonders if they will ever see the Pokémon Gary saw, while Ash is only interested in his eight Badges -- his ticket to the Pokémon League.
