Soon enough, Ash and Morrison cannot keep their friendly rivalry suppressed for too long, as they soon get excited at the chance to compete again and run off together into a nearby forest leaving Brock and both their Pokémon teams in the dust. As Ash and Morrison race against each other, they fall into pitfall trap prepared by {{TRT}}. Ash and Morrison both shout angrily at the troublesome trio, who are looking down triumphantly at their Pokémon-less captures. Team Rocket then stirs up the two boys as they brag about how they're going to take off all their Pokémon. However, before Team Rocket can go claim their prize, {{ho|Tyson}}, along with his {{TP|Tyson|Meowth}} stop them in their tracks. As Meowth becomes aggravated at Tyson's Meowth's blunt taunt, Ash happily recognizes the voice of the boy as Tyson, another Conference hopeful he [[AG125|met recently]]. Meowth soon forgets all about taking Ash and Morrison's Pokémon, ignoring his teammate’s pleas. He extends his claws and hurls himself at Tyson's calm Meowth. Tyson, as calm as his Pokémon, commands his Meowth to perform an {{m|Iron Tail}} attack. Its tail glows and hardens, and it swings around, smashing its tail right into his less experienced foe. The power of this attack sends Meowth flying backwards straight into his comrades causing Team Rocket to blast off into the depths of the forest. | Soon enough, Ash and Morrison cannot keep their friendly rivalry suppressed for too long, as they soon get excited at the chance to compete again and run off together into a nearby forest leaving Brock and both their Pokémon teams in the dust.

Suddenly, Brock runs up, breathless and with a worried look on his face as he reminds Morrison that he still needs to register for the Conference. Scared that he might not be able to take part in the League after all his hard work of collecting Badges, Morrison instantly runs off to register, leaving a trail of dust behind him. At the [[Pokémon Center]], Morrison manages to register for the tournament with five minutes to spare and reunites with Ash, his friends and Tyson. Morrison again thanks Tyson for his assistance. Meowth tips its hat before storming off, seemingly agitated. Tyson decides that he should leave as well, admitting that Meowth had been through a lot. Tyson wishes Ash and Morrison all the best in the preliminaries, and the pair reply confidently. | ||
The preliminaries, a set of one-on-one matches kick off the Ever Grande Conference. Morrison is up first, and selects his Beldum to take on {{OBP|Jump|AG126}} and his {{p|Electabuzz}}. To start things off, Morrison orders a {{m|Take Down}} [[Move|attack]], and Beldum immediately fires itself right at the opposing Electric Pokémon. Jump and Electabuzz however do not seem worried, and Jump taunts Morrison and orders Electabuzz to use {{m|Protect}}. Electabuzz does so, shielding itself with its arms. This defensive maneuver pays off, as the force of its attack being blocked sends Beldum flying back and smashing into the battlefield. Morrison tells Beldum to get up, as Ash and {{ashfr}} look on worried. However, Ash is confident that Beldum will pull through. Morrison once again orders a Take Down attack, and once again, Jump simply laughs the attack off and orders for Electabuzz to use Protect again. This has the same result as last time, and Beldum is once again sent flying back. | The preliminaries, a set of one-on-one matches kick off the Ever Grande Conference.

Afterwards, Tyson details when he first encountered Meowth to Morrison and the group. Eavesdropping into the conversation is Team Rocket's Meowth. Tyson explains that one day, while he was traveling through a snow-covered forest, he happened across a pack of wild Meowth, headed by a Persian. One of the Meowth was battling against the Persian, but was losing badly as the rest of the pack watched on. The Persian used Fury Swipes, knocking the Meowth away, and then Shadow Ball to knock the young feline back. The Persian and the rest of the group then walked off, leaving the young Meowth abandoned in the middle of the snow. Tyson then explains how he took the young Meowth and nursed it back to health, and bandaged up its damaged legs. When Meowth was finally conscious again, Tyson gave it a pair of boots to take the strain off walking and started training it to walk on its damaged feet. As Tyson finishes off his story, the group come to understand Meowth’s aggressive attitude when it battled Vivica’s Persian. Due to his own experiences with Persian, Team Rocket's Meowth cannot help but cry at Tyson's story. | Afterwards, Tyson details when he first encountered Meowth to Morrison and the group.

Later, Ash's preliminary battle, against a young, martial arts user called {{OBP|Gilbert|AG126}} and his {{p|Hitmonlee}}. Tyson, Brock, Max, May and Morrison cheer Ash on from the audience, and the referee starts the battle off. Both Pikachu and Hitmonlee charge towards each other, with Gilbert commanding a {{m|Rolling Kick}}, and Ash ordering Iron Tail.

Tyson, Brock, Max, May and Morrison cheer Ash on from the audience, and the referee starts the battle off. Both Pikachu and Hitmonlee charge towards each other, with Gilbert commanding a {{m|Rolling Kick}}, and Ash ordering Iron Tail. Hitmonlee leaps towards Pikachu and kicks hard with his extendable legs. Though Pikachu quickly dodges and quickly unleashes his Iron Tail on Ash's command, sending Hitmonlee crashing down to earth. Gilbert tells Hitmonlee to use {{m|High Jump Kick}}, and Hitmonlee attempts to hit Pikachu while combining his attack with forward flips. Pikachu, however, uses his amazing speed to dodge all three kicks, leading Hitmonlee further and further towards the stadium wall. Seeing his chance, Hitmonlee thrusts forward to attack, but Pikachu makes a last minute dash to safety, causing Hitmonlee to [[Crash damage|hurt his knee]] against the hard surface of the stadium wall. Both Pokémon land and face-off, but Hitmonlee starts to feel the pain of his strained leg. As Hitmonlee's legs are his main source of attacking, they are also his weak spot, and so Gilbert senses that he'll have to end the battle fast, even if it means taking a risk. Ash orders Pikachu to attack, and Gilbert tells Hitmonlee to use {{m|Mega Kick}}. The Fighting Pokémon responds, and smashes his foot hard into Pikachu, but he feels pain while doing so. Thinking fast, Ash orders an Iron Tail just before both Pokémon hit the ground. The impact of the attacks cause a dust cloud to appear, and when it clears, Pikachu has struck Hitmonlee's head with his Iron Tail after using the attack to cushion the blow of the vicious kick attack. Hitmonlee falls to the ground, and Pikachu is declared the winner. Ash congratulates his best friend as he jumps into his arms for a celebration hug. | ||
Afterwards, Ash is selected for an honor – to carry the sacred flame up to the stadium torch. Watching on [[television]] are {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Delia}}, {{Tracey}}, {{an|Misty}}, [[Norman]], and [[Caroline]]. Ash lights the torch to mark the end of the preliminary matches, while the celebration balloons float off into the distance. | Afterwards, Ash is selected for an honor – to carry the sacred flame up to the stadium torch.
