{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are on their way to [[Vermilion City]]. Along the way, Ash has a {{pkmn|battle}} with another {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} defeats a {{p|Rattata}}, securing his tenth victory. The Trainer admires Ash's two Badges, leading Misty to muse that giving Ash the Badge may have been a mistake. The Trainer points Ash to an unofficial [[Gym]], where a strong Trainer named [[A.J.]], who has purportedly never lost a match, trains savage Pokémon. | {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are on their way to [[Vermilion City]].

The sign outside A.J.'s Gym indicates that the Gym is unlicensed by the [[Pokémon League]] and that he has a record of 98 wins to zero losses. As Misty insults Ash, A.J. walks up and challenges him to a battle. A.J. snaps a whip, making Ash jump. He says that he plans to start competing for Badges after his 100<sup>th</sup> consecutive win. Ash smugly tells him that he has ten wins and two Gym Badges, at which point A.J. insults the Gyms, angering Misty and Brock. A.J. summons his {{p|Sandshrew}} to battle against Ash's Pokémon. Misty reminds Ash that Pikachu's electricity is useless against a {{t|Ground}} Pokémon, but Ash rejects her advice. He summons Pidgeotto to battle Sandshrew. Brock notes that a {{t|Flying}} Pokémon should have the advantage. However, Sandshrew rolls itself into a ball and hurls itself into the air, striking and eliminating Pidgeotto. | The sign outside A.J.'s Gym indicates that the Gym is unlicensed by the [[Pokémon League]] and that he has a record of 98 wins to zero losses.

Ash then calls out {{AP|Butterfree}}. Ash orders a {{m|Stun Spore}} attack, but A.J. cracks his whip and Sandshrew {{m|dig}}s underground, avoiding it. It bursts out of the ground, eliminating Butterfree as well. Although Ash wants Pikachu to fight, Pikachu grabs hold of the edge of the playing field and refuses to go, finally {{m|Thunder Shock|shocking}} Ash. While all of this is happening, {{TRT}} is spying on the match from a tree nearby. They decide they wanted to steal A.J.'s Sandshrew. Refusing to believe that anyone's Pokémon could be so strong, Ash accuses A.J. of cheating and demands a rematch at another location, but A.J. tells him to quit whining. Later, Ash overhears A.J. training his Pokémon, yelling angrily and cracking his whip. Ash intervenes to stop A.J. from hurting the Pokémon, but A.J. tells him to mind his own business. His Sandshrew is wearing a strength intensifier brace invented by A.J. himself. It enables the Sandshrew to withstand the weakening effects of water. A.J. says he's tougher on Sandshrew than his other Pokémon because it was his very first. | Ash then calls out {{AP|Butterfree}}.
