::At the stadium, the MC explains the rules and shows the competitors the prize for winning. A [[Soothe Bell]] which [[Team Rocket]] wants to steal. The contestants are shuffled and put into partners for the competition. The three set off to find their partners. Dawn is the first to find her partner, an odd boy named [[Conway]] and his [[Slowking]]. Next Brock finds his partner, a girl named [[Holly]] with a [[Wingull]]. Of course she is a beautiful girl which Brock falls for but she tells him that she is not interested in younger men. Ash is still searching for his partner when a voice calls out "of course ''you'' had to be number 15." He turns around to find Paul standing there with his [[Elekid]] and [[Chimchar]].

::Dawn and Conway are first to battle with their [[Piplup]] and Slowking against a [[Koffing]] and [[Scyther]]. Conway blocks all attacks with [[Safeguard]], [[Protect]], and [[Psychic]] leaving Dawn to attack without having to defend. The two end up winning with a combination af Conway's defence and dawn's attack.

Rhydon then smashes Pikachu with a [[Megahorn]] attack. Magmar attacks with a [[Lava Plume]]. Ash tells Pikachu to dodge but Paul sends Chimchar straight into the fire. The flame on chimchar's tail becomes bigger and Chimchar gives a powerful blast of [[Flamethrower]] which has very little effent on Rhydon. Rhydon counters with a direct hit from a [[Hammer arm]]. Pikachu comes down from it's dodge with an [[Iron Tail]]. Rhydon strikes back with a surprise [[surf]] attack while Magmar uses protect. Paul decides to take it head on with a [[flame wheel]]. Ash tries to convince him that Chimchar could really get hurt but he doesn't care. Ash remembers what Zoey did in the contest and Breaks through the surf with an iron tail which slams into rhydon. Rhydon is Knocked out leaving Magmar alone. Pikachu goes straight for magmar with a [[Volt Tackle]] but Magmar deflects it with a [[Fire Punch]]. While Pikachu and Magmar are fighting, Chimchar comes from beneath with a [[Dig]] that knocks out Magmar. Brock tells Dawn that Ash and Paul can't get much further unless they start working as a team.
