Back in the Pokémon Center, Ash discovers that Gary and {{jo|Harrison}} have also passed the screening round. Though Ash is confident that he can beat 47 other Trainers to the championship, Mr. Goodshow shows up and tells them all that it wouldn't be as easy, as the 48 Trainers are placed into groups of three in the semi-final round, where only one Trainer from each group will advance to the Victory Tournament. Ash, nevertheless, is fired up. | Back in the Pokémon Center, Ash discovers that Gary and {{jo|Harrison}} have also passed the screening round.

That night, Ash can't sleep due to all of the anticipation. He gets out of bed, accidentally waking Pikachu up. They both go out for a walk to clear their heads. The pair also stumble across Gary, so they decide to talk things over. The full moon out that night reminds Gary of [[EP001|his first night as a Pokémon Trainer]] | That night, Ash can't sleep due to all of the anticipation. He gets out of bed, accidentally waking Pikachu up. They both go out for a walk to clear their heads. The pair also stumble across Gary, so they decide to talk things over. The full moon out that night reminds Gary of [[EP001|his first night as a Pokémon Trainer]] — the same day that Ash was late in getting up and got Pikachu as his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. Gary wonders what could have been — if Ash had been on time, or if he himself had not seen the full moon. He remarks that all the contemplation is for the future, but the present is all about the rivalry. Ash and Gary make it clear to each other that they will defeat anyone who gets in their way to the top - each other included. | ||
The next day, the Opening Ceremonies begin. Silver Stadium, the Pokémon Stadium for the Silver Conference, is filled to capacity, awaiting the arrival of the finalists, and even {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Tracey}}, [[Professor Elm]], and {{Delia}} watching from home. The semi-finalist Trainers are soon corralled off awaiting their entrance cue. A [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|pair of officials]] approach Ash, at the back of the line, and they ask him whether he has a "Silver Pokémon [[Footprint]] Panel", and that Ash could be disqualified if he did not. Ash immediately leaves the line, which makes Gary, further up the line, curious. Ash, however, finds himself tied up, as the two officials reveal themselves to be Team Rocket, who has also made off with Pikachu. As the athletes enter, Brock and Misty, in the stands, notice that Ash isn't there. Professor Oak and Tracey, at the [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Oak Lab]], also notice that Gary is curiously absent. At the same time, Ash, attempting to break a locked door down, is freed by Gary. Ash informs Gary that Pikachu had been kidnapped, so the rivals give chase to the Rocket trio. Team Rocket eventually collides into the torch runner as he enters Silver Stadium. The trio subsequently drops Pikachu, which Ash recovers, and Gary catches the flaming torch baton in time. Team Rocket’s attempt to flee the scene is stopped by Pikachu's Thunderbolt, which sends them flying. | The next day, the Opening Ceremonies begin.
