All of Ash's Pokémon gather to watch his and Paul's battle. Ash chooses {{AP|Lucario}} as his first Pokémon, while Paul leads with {{p|Gyarados}}. Lucario makes the first move with {{m|Double Team}}, surrounding Gyarados with illusionary copies of itself. Gyarados attacks the copies with {{m|Ice Fang}} and {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but is forced to {{status|Recharging|recharge}} after the latter move. Ash tries to exploit this with a close-range {{m|Aura Sphere}}, but Lucario gets caught by Gyarados's tail before it can go off and is struck by a flurry of Ice Fangs. After freeing itself with {{m|Steel Beam}}, Lucario starts gathering {{type|Steel}} energy around its fists, signifying that a new move is coming. Ash recognizes the new attack, and has his partner hit Gyarados with {{m|Bullet Punch}}, right before Gyarados fires right back with Hyper Beam. As the smoke clears, Gyarados is revealed to have fainted, giving Ash the first win of the battle.

Ash and Paul [[recall]] their Pokémon, before Ash chooses {{AP|Dragonite}} as his second, and Paul sends out his {{p|Garchomp}} in response. After a clash of a flurry of {{m|Dragon Claw}}s, Dragonite goes in for a {{m|Hurricane}}, but is beaten to the punch by Garchomp's super effective {{m|Stone Edge}} and takes a lot of [[damage]]. Garchomp's assault continues with {{m|Draco Meteor}}, which also lands a hit. Ash then has Dragonite use its own Draco Meteor, even having it charge at Garchomp along with the attack, demonstrating Ash's unpredictable improvisational skills. However, Garchomp's counterattack with Dragon Claw overpowers Dragonite and takes it down, giving Paul one win and evening the score. Ash dubs his new improvised tactic "Dragonite Meteor," but Paul is unimpressed and mocks the name.

Ash recalls Dragonite and Paul recalls Garchomp. Paul then sends out his last Pokémon, {{p|Metagross}}, whom Ash sends Gengar out against. Metagross uses {{m|Agility}} to match Gengar's speed, before throwing it back with {{m|Psychic}}. Paul berates Ash for calling himself one of the Masters Eight if he's struggling against him this much, and has Metagross attack with {{m|Meteor Mash}}, dealing another big hit. With Infernape's encouragement, Gengar stands back up, not wanting to let Ash and his Fire types who worked so hard to train it down. Gengar then puts its new Will-O-Wisp into practice and successfully lands it. Metagross strikes with another Meteor Mash, but the {{status|burn}} it received from the Will-O-Wisp weakens the attack, allowing Gengar to withstand it and strike back with {{m|Shadow Ball}}, defeating its {{pkmn2|pseudo-legendary}} opponent and making Ash the winner of the battle.

While Ash's Fire types congratulate Gengar and Ash thanks them for their help, Goh points out that Paul's Pokémon were all the same as the respective aces of {{an|Lance}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Steven Stone}}, and wonders if this was intentional. Paul responds to this observation with a simple smile, bids farewell to Oak, Ash, and Infernape, and heads off. Professor Oak reveals that Paul has been asked to become a [[Gym Leader]], which is why he had come to visit the lab to learn more about Pokémon. Feeling confident thanks to this visit, Ash is eager to head to the Masters Eight Tournament right away, but he and Goh are stopped by the appearance of {{Delia}}, who had arrived partway through the battle and invites them to stay a night at the [[Player's house|Ketchum household]] before they leave, which they accept.
