Meanwhile, {{TRT}} floats over Ecruteak City in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|hot air balloon]]. [[James]] is pleased that he still has his [[Dowsing Machine|Itemfinder]] with him and smiles as it continues blinking away. [[Jessie]] groans that the device only finds junk and James attempts to prove her wrong by displaying his prized collection of bottle caps, although he declines to explain what makes them so valuable. At that moment, the Itemfinder appears to be picking up something as they fly over the Burned Tower, so they descend in the hopes of uncovering real treasures. They land and James follows the Itemfinder directly to the [[Ecruteak Gym]] where Ash is about to have his Gym match against Morty. | Meanwhile, {{TRT}} floats over Ecruteak City in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|hot air balloon]].

The [[Battle judge|referee]] explains the rules of the match before the battle begins. Morty starts things off with his {{TP|Morty|Gastly}} and Ash calls out his {{AP|Noctowl}}. Ash has Noctowl begin with {{m|Hypnosis}}. Gastly dodges, disappearing in the process. Ash has Noctowl use {{m|Foresight}}, and it soon finds Gastly. Noctowl | The [[Battle judge|referee]] explains the rules of the match before the battle begins. Morty starts things off with his {{TP|Morty|Gastly}} and Ash calls out his {{AP|Noctowl}}. Ash has Noctowl begin with {{m|Hypnosis}}. Gastly dodges, disappearing in the process. Ash has Noctowl use {{m|Foresight}}, and it soon finds Gastly. Noctowl attempts to {{m|Tackle}} Gastly, but Gastly easily dodges the attack again and again. After failing to Tackle Gastly, Noctowl tries to use {{m|Hypnosis}}; however, Morty orders Gastly to close its eyes to avoid being hypnotized and to use a {{m|Lick}} attack, which whips Noctowl out of the air. Ash returns Noctowl to its {{i|Poké Ball}}. {{an|Brock}} points out that this is a good strategy since Noctowl's Foresight will keep Gastly from disappearing, and Ash can use Noctowl again later on if he needs to. | ||
With Foresight keeping Gastly in view, Ash chooses {{AP|Pikachu}} to replace Noctowl. Pikachu begins by using {{m|Quick Attack}}, which knocks Gastly backwards. Gastly lies on the ground for a moment before recovering itself. Pikachu | With Foresight keeping Gastly in view, Ash chooses {{AP|Pikachu}} to replace Noctowl. Pikachu begins by using {{m|Quick Attack}}, which knocks Gastly backwards. Gastly lies on the ground for a moment before recovering itself. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Gastly dodges and counters with {{m|Night Shade}}. Ash rushes to Pikachu’s side, but his friend is declared knocked out and unable to battle any further. After thanking Pikachu for his hard work, Ash chooses {{AP|Cyndaquil}} as his next choice. | ||
Ash has Cyndaquil start things off with a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack. Gastly dodges, countering with Night Shade, which Cyndaquil dodges using Quick Attack. Gastly uses Lick but Cyndaquil just runs up Gastly's tongue and Tackles it, finally defeating it. Morty | Ash has Cyndaquil start things off with a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack. Gastly dodges, countering with Night Shade, which Cyndaquil dodges using Quick Attack. Gastly uses Lick but Cyndaquil just runs up Gastly's tongue and Tackles it, finally defeating it. Morty chooses {{p|Haunter}} as his second Pokémon. Cyndaquil tries to hit it with Flamethrower, but Haunter disappears and then uses {{m|Mean Look}}, which extinguishes Cyndaquil's back flames and [[Escape prevention|forces Ash to use Cyndaquil until the end of the round]]. Ash orders Cyndaquil to fire back up and use its {{m|Swift}} attack, which hurts Haunter. Haunter uses Hypnosis, which nearly works; but Cyndaquil counters with {{m|Smokescreen}}. Through the Smokescreen, Haunter grabs Cyndaquil and Licks it before tossing it to the floor, ending Cyndaquil's ability to battle. Ash is now down to only his Noctowl. | ||
After Ash brings it back out, Noctowl uses Foresight to keep Haunter from disappearing. Noctowl follows this with a Tackle attack, but Haunter forces Noctowl to dodge its hands to avoid being grabbed instead. Haunter | After Ash brings it back out, Noctowl uses Foresight to keep Haunter from disappearing. Noctowl follows this with a Tackle attack, but Haunter forces Noctowl to dodge its hands to avoid being grabbed instead. Haunter tries its Lick attack, which Noctowl dodges. The two Pokémon each use Hypnosis and Confuse Ray, which become locked against each other; but Noctowl's Hypnosis loses the struggle and gets blown away, allowing Confuse Ray to hit Noctowl. Haunter uses Night Shade, but the confused Noctowl still Tackles through the attack. The two collide and Noctowl is not confused anymore. Ash notices Noctowl’s horns are now glowing blue. Brock remarks that Noctowl must have learned {{m|Confusion}}, which Ash confirms with his Pokédex. Noctowl uses its new [[move]] on Haunter and easily wins the round. | ||
Morty finally sends out Gengar. Noctowl uses Confusion while Gengar tries a {{m|Shadow Ball}}; the Confusion attack hits the Shadow Ball, making it explode, showering everyone with dark energy. Gengar disappears and begins attacking Noctowl with Night Shade. While Noctowl manages to evade the attacks, its attempts to use Foresight fail. {{an|Misty}} is surprised that Gengar can attack while it is invisible and Brock says that Noctowl cannot win without using Foresight. Ash thinks for a moment and then tells Noctowl to send Confusion through the building. This reveals Gengar and Noctowl is able to use Foresight on it. Gengar attempts to use Shadow Ball again, but Noctowl stops it with a Tackle attack. After hitting the ceiling and falling to the floor, Gengar is now unable to battle, giving Ash the victory. Before the group heads out, Morty admits that Ash may actually have seen {{an|Ho-Oh}}, then hands over the {{Badge|Fog}}. | Morty finally sends out Gengar.
