At the [[Pokémon League]] tournament held | At the [[Pokémon League]] tournament held at the [[Indigo Plateau]], the rivals {{Adv|Red}} and {{Adv|Blue}} begin their heavily anticipated match to decide the League Champion for the year's competition, with {{adv|Bill}}, {{Adv|Green}}, and {{adv|Professor Oak}} amongst the excited audience. A simultaneous drop of their [[Poké Ball]]s reveals [[Blue's Charizard]] and Red's [[Saur]]; Bill instantly bemoans the elemental odds stacked against Red. Taunting Red for a misprediction, Blue orders a {{m|Fire Spin}} that Saur barely dodges, but as Charizard lunges in for a follow-up attack Saur surprises it with a burst of {{m|Poison Powder|PoisonPowder}}. Red follows with a {{m|Razor Leaf}} that Blue is forced to assist his addled Charizard in dodging, before switching for his [[Snor]] to continue. | ||
However, Blue is quick to respond with his {{TP|Blue|Machamp}}, and through its four arms it blocks Snor's limbs and prevents it from attacking. At Blue's invitation a show of physical strength begins on the battlefield; eventually, Machamp easily lifts Snor with its four arms, before {{m|Submission|spinning}} it about to render Snor dizzy and slamming it onto the floor. As the floor cracks from the sheer impact, Blue sneers at Red for his earlier [[PS018|care]] of Machamp. Bill is certain that Red has a backup plan - indeed, Red has secretly commanded Snor to use {{m|Harden}} in anticipation of further attacks from Machamp. However, Blue surprises everyone by having Machamp {{m|Karate Chop}} onto the floor, using the shattered debris as a lever to catapult Snor into the air, and out of the battlefield. The Professor, watching on, muses on his grandson learning to be flexible like Red in his battle strategies. Just as Snor is about to be disqualified for going out of bounds, however, the Snorlax plummets from mid-air and crushes Machamp in a {{m|Double-Edge}} as the spectators scramble in fright.

Noting Machamp to be down to a third of its health, Blue switches in the {{p|Ninetales}} both boys had encountered. Realizing Snorlax to have taken heavy damage itself, Red retrieves Snor as both boys exchange friendly banter; Professor Oak chuckles at how the two have not only learned each other's skills, but also emulated their respective traits. As Red mulls over his next choice, a shadowed [[Elite Four|foursome]] watch the boys silently, seemingly evaluating to themselves the better of the two... | Noting Machamp to be down to a third of its health, Blue switches in the {{p|Ninetales}} both boys had encountered.

Eventually, Red's apparent indecision forces Blue to launch his attack; dodging the flames Red releases [[Poli]]. Using {{m|Fire Blast}}, Blue surrounds Red and Poli in the formation of flames, and also sends Poli crashing into the ceiling on a current of superheated air. A substitution to [[Pika]] ends similarly, and to keep up the fire attacks Blue brings Charizard back into the fray. To the horror of the spectators Red makes a switch back to Saur; Bill is notably angry at Red for his decision. Mocking the sentimentality of Red to finish the match with the Pokémon they received from Professor Oak, Blue sends in Charizard for the kill when a {{m|Vine Whip}} securely binds Charizard. Blue is surprised at the presence of a cloud in the arena, to which Red explains that Poli and Pika had formed the lightning cloud when they were flung up to the ceiling; Poli's water was superheated and condensed in midair while Pika electrified the cloud. With Saur's vine acting as a lightning rod Charizard is not only trapped but severely {{m|Thunder|shocked}} by the combination attack of Red's three closest Pokémon, and as the smoke clears Charizard eventually collapses. The crowd roars for Red, who, while congratulating his Pokémon, eventually faints from exhaustion. | Eventually, Red's apparent indecision forces Blue to launch his attack; dodging the flames Red releases [[Poli]].
