{{Ash}} is kneeling down to the {{AP|Chimchar}} that [[Paul]] {{pkmn2|released}} moments earlier. Impressed by the way Chimchar always gives it its all in battle, Ash would be thrilled to have it on his team. However, a disgusted Paul tells them that they deserve the worst and have found it in each other. Ash diverts {{an|Dawn|any}} and {{an|Brock|all}} attention away from him, and assures Chimchar that, if it accepts his offer, they will both prove Paul wrong. Paul walks away, and Chimchar takes on a glowing expression and reaches to accept Ash's offer, just when they are suddenly attacked by {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|Pin Missile}}. In all the chaos, Chimchar is seized by the attackers, revealed to be {{TRT}}. After finishing their motto, [[James]] tells {{TP|James|Carnivine}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}} to attack Ash, Dawn and Brock so they can escape. However, Chimchar takes action and uses {{m|Flamethrower}} to destroy Team Rocket's balloon, causing it to plummet to the ground. Ash manages to catch Chimchar just in time, and with the day saved, he asks again if Chimchar would like to join his team. Chimchar happily agrees, so Ash throws a {{i|Poké Ball}} into the air. Chimchar happily jumps up and smacks the button, and without any struggle, Ash catches Chimchar. Later that night, Ash contacts {{an|Professor Oak}} to tell him about what has been going on. Although Oak is glad that Chimchar is with Ash now, he states that the situation has not changed; Ash and Paul still need to work as a team if they are to win the tournament.

The next morning, the battles continue in the Tag Battle Competition. Dawn and [[Conway]] have already won their semifinal match, so the next match-up is Ash and Paul versus Brock and [[Holly]]. Ash sends out Chimchar to watch, before sending out {{AP|Staravia}} to battle. Paul chooses {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, Brock chooses {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, and Holly chooses {{p|Farfetch'd}}. Ash makes the first move and commands Staravia to use {{m|Aerial Ace}} on Croagunk, who Brock commands to counter with {{m|Poison Jab}}. Holly has Farfetch'd launch an {{m|Air Slash}} at Torterra, who Paul commands to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Hyper Beam decimates the Air Slash and instantly knocks Farfetch'd out on impact, grazing Staravia in the process. Holly apologizes for letting Brock down, but he tells her not to worry and tells Croagunk to use {{m|Brick Break}} on Torterra, who is immobilized due to Hyper Beam's secondary effect. Ash tells Staravia to use Aerial Ace, trying to catch Croagunk off-guard. However, Croagunk slides under Torterra, forcing Staravia to stop his attack. Croagunk jumps out from behind Torterra and lands Brick Break on its head. Croagunk tries to follow up with Poison Jab, but before he can do so, Torterra regains movement and uses {{m|Leaf Storm}}, which knocks Croagunk out in one shot and giving Ash and Paul victory and entry into the final round. Ash congratulates Staravia on a good job, only for Paul to comment that Staravia contributed nothing to the battle, before casting a glare at his former Chimchar, who turns away in intimidation.

Returning to the [[Pokémon Center]] after the match, [[Nurse Joy]] tells Brock that Holly was so upset about losing that she left to go and train. Devastated by losing the one woman who liked him, Brock tells Ash that he has to win the tournament. Finally, the final battle of Dawn and Conway versus Ash and Paul begins. Ash sends out Chimchar before Paul sends out {{TP|Paul|Elekid}}, and Dawn sends out {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}} as Conway sends out {{p|Heracross}}. Ash and Paul take charge as Chimchar launches a Flamethrower at Heracross while Elekid readies a {{m|Thunder}} for Buizel. However, Buizel is able to neutralize Flamethrower with {{m|Aqua Jet}} before hitting Chimchar, and Heracross takes Elekid's Thunder to power up its {{m|Revenge}} attack, which hits Elekid hard. Ash then tells Paul that they must start working as a team if they want to win, though Paul doesn't seem to care. Ash then has Chimchar use {{m|Dig}}, which causes Dawn to worry, but Conway tells her that now is the perfect time to unleash the strategy they came up with for Paul's Elekid. Dawn then has Buizel rush toward Elekid with Aqua Jet, and Elekid uses Protect. However, this is just what they wanted Elekid to do; Buizel then jumps, and Heracross comes in with a {{m|Feint}} attack, which shocks Paul. The Feint destroys Elekid's Protect and causes it a good amount of damage.
