 Brandon begins to taunt Paul, reminding him that he wanted to defeat the man who defeated his brother and put an end to his Pokémon journey. After recalling Nidoking, Paul tells Brandon that it is ''because'' he defeated his brother that he is battling him now; Brandon's ultimate challenge for all Pokémon Trainers is to find their true inner strength was something that Reggie was unable to fulfill, but Paul yells that he is different from his brother in that he is already aware of his true inner strength; his will. Up in the stands, Ash watches in complete shock and disbelief at his rival's tantrum and words. Brandon chastises Paul, telling him he is dwelling too much on the past and questioning why he is on a journey in the first place. This clearly hits a nerve and Paul furiously sends out his {{p|Lairon}}. Dawn proceeds to look up Lairon on her Pokédex.
-Brandon recalls Registeel and brings {{DL|Brandon's Legendary titans|Regice}} out. Paul has Lairon use {{m|Iron Defense}}, with Reggie guessing that Paul must want to hang in there and wait for a chance to counterstrike. However, his efforts are futile as Regice {{status|frozen|freezes}} Lairon with an {{m|Ice Beam}}, before launching a {{m|Zap Cannon}} that knocks Lairon out before it could even attack once. Ash is stunned that Lairon didn't even get to launch one offensive attack against Regice. Paul grows increasingly frustrated and sends out {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} after recalling Lairon. Ursaring goes in for a {{m|Hammer Arm}} attack and Regice counters with a {{m|Focus Punch}}, creating a massive backlash that knocks both Pokémon backwards. Ursaring prepares to use {{m|Focus Blast}}, but Regice uses Zap Cannon before it can launch the attack, {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} it. Paul grows so angry that he gives up on Ursaring, refusing to give it any commands or even recall it. Brandon then substitutes Regice for Regirock, much to Paul's anger and shock. Regirock then fires Stone Edge, and Ursaring is taken out. Paul sends out his last Pokémon, Magmar, but with the type-disadvantage and massive difference in strength, everyone knows that Paul is in checkmate at this point. Regirock easily endures Magmar's Flamethrower attack before knocking it out with Shock Wave, therefore giving Brandon a perfect 6-0 victory over Paul. This crushing defeat leaves the normally stoical Paul in great shock, while Ash is dumbstruck at how completely Paul was defeated. Paul silently recalls Magmar, before Brandon asks him if the way he battled today is his ''true'' battle. At these words, Reggie looks at Paul with intense care. Brandon acknowledges that Paul has done well raising and training his Pokémon, but notes that he allowed his emotions to consume him during the battle, leading to foolish actions. Brandon then tells Paul that they will battle again one day when he has learned to control his emotions. Paul silently accepts this and bows politely.

 Outside, Team Rocket is still split on deciding where to go as James notices Ash and his friends exiting. Outside, Paul plans to challenge Candice in the near future, and she decides that she and Zoey should have a battle in the meantime, so they leave for the Snowpoint Gym. Paul prepares to leave also, but Reggie stops him and asks if he would be willing to have a Full Battle against Ash, which surprises the both of them. Brandon concurs with this suggestion, thinking that it will offer invaluable experience to both Trainers, so Reggie sets the event at [[Lake Acuity]] in [[DP131|ten days]]. The brothers then leave in Reggie's van as Samuel and Maria arrive, telling Brandon that a situation has occurred at the Snowpoint Temple.
