Ash is now forced to send out Cyndaquil, who looks tired from its battle with Spinarak. Scyther uses Fury Cutter while Cyndaquil dodges and its back now bursts with blaring flames. Scyther tries Double Team while it uses another Fury Cutter, this time faster than the other Fury Cutter, while Cyndaquil is still able to dodge. This gets Cyndaquil really fired up and Cyndaquil uses Flamethrower, which got rid of Scyther's Double Team, but the real Scyther deflects it by using {{m|Swords Dance}} and hits Cyndaquil. Bugsy explains that he developed strategies like Scyther's Sword Dance to combat its weaknesses. Ash considers his next move before the battle resumes. Scyther approaches with another Fury Cutter, but as soon as Ash commands Cyndaquil to use Flamethrower he has Scyther perform Sword Dance. Ash replies with his strategy, he has Cyndaquil jump into the air and go into a spin above Scyther. Cyndaquil then unleashes a powerful Flamethrower which engulfs Scyther. The damage stops Scyther's Sword Dance and Cyndaquil then Tackles its opponent to the ground. The referee says Scyther is unable to battle and declares Ash victorious. Bugsy congratulates Ash on overcoming his strategies and gives him the {{Badge|Hive}} to commemorate the win. Ash poses with his second [[Johto League]] Badge overall. Bugsy then asks Ash for a rematch if he returns to [[Azalea Town]], and Ash gladly accepts the challenge. The pair shake hands before Ash and his friends leave to continue their {{pkmn|journey}}.

When Ash, Misty, and Brock are about to leave Azalea Town, they realize that they forgot something and are quick to remember the [[Apricorn]]s that they had left with [[Kurt]]. As if on cue, [[Maizie]] runs towards them with three Apricorn [[Poké Ball]]s: two [[Lure Ball]]s and a [[Heavy Ball]] made by her grandfather from the Apricorns that they had [[EP143|picked earlier]]. Ash and Misty decide to take a Lure Ball each, while Brock settles for the Heavy Ball. Maizie thanks Ash and his friends for delivering the [[GS Ball]] to Kurt, who will continue to investigate it, before waving goodbye to the group. Overnight, Team Rocket peer from their hole to see if anyone is around, but they find themselves surrounded by the Azalea Gym's angry Bug Pokémon.

* Although {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} will both eventually use their [[Lure Ball]]s that they receive in this episode, the [[Heavy Ball]] that {{an|Brock}} receives, as well as the [[Fast Ball]]s that Ash and Misty received in the [[EP143|last episode]], are never actually used, nor are they even mentioned again after this episode.  This was likely the result of a writer oversight.
