During the second match of Group H of the [[Silver Conference]], [[Macy]] faces off against [[Vincent|Jackson]], the group's third competitor. Though Macy is ready, Jackson is more prepared to showboat than {{pkmn|battle}}, saying hello to {{jo|Marina|Dani}} and {{jo|Jimmy|Yoshi}} to one of the stadium cameras. The three-on-three match gets well underway, and soon it is down to a winner-takes-all situation with Macy's {{p|Quilava}} and Jackson's {{p|Poliwhirl}} battling for the victory. Jackson's showboating gets to the better of him, as he trips over his cape issuing orders to Poliwhirl, leaving Poliwhirl standing as it takes a {{m|Flamethrower}}. This, combined with a Starmie {{m|Thunderbolt}} from an earlier round, seals the match for Macy. As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} watches from the stands, {{an|Brock}} notes that Macy saved herself from elimination by winning, which also means that Ash and Macy are tied at the top of Group H. He adds that Ash will only need a tie against Jackson in order to advance, while Jackson must win outright to force a three-way tie. Noting this, Brock also mentions that a second tiebreaker round-robin would be needed should Jackson win outright.

Back at the Athlete's Village, {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} are rekindling their old friendship outside, as everyone else walks inside the [[Pokémon Center]]. Ash suddenly overhears a familiar voice, and he turns to see his next opponent, Jackson talking to [[Professor Elm]]. Ash interrupts the conversation, and Elm informs the group that {{AP|Larvitar}} is happy with {{p|Tyranitar|its mother}}. As they exchange pleasantries, Jackson explains that Professor Elm had given him {{p|Chikorita}}, his {{pkmn2|starter}}, and that it had only recently [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}. Asking why Meganium wasn't entered, Jackson admits that he thought that it would have been better for him to save Meganium for the victory rounds, which, in retrospect, was a mistake.
