As the {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} gets underway, Johanna introduces Ash to the crowd, getting a good review. Palmer looks forward to battling Ash as he sends out {{p|Rhyperior}}. The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s sheer size surprises Ash as he checks with his [[Pokédex]]. Palmer informs Ash that no Trainer has bested his Rhyperior. After analyzing Rhyperior's [[type]]s, he first believes that {{stat|Speed}} will prevail, but based on previous [[Gym]] battles, he knows Palmer will be ready for that. Ash decides to summon {{AP|Grotle}} to the field, as the {{t|Grass|type advantage}} is logical and to match up Rhyperior's strength with Grotle's strength and defense. Dawn thought {{AP|Buizel}} would be better as Barry frowns on Ash underestimating his father. Sayer quickly reconfirms the battle rules as a one-on-one with no substitutions, and as the challenger, Ash goes first. | As the {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} gets underway, Johanna introduces Ash to the crowd, getting a good review.

Grotle immediately fires {{m|Energy Ball}}, as Rhyperior stands firm and takes it with only minor damage thanks to {{a|Solid Rock}}. Though Palmer compliments Ash on Grotle's strength, he orders Rhyperior to use {{m|Rock Polish}}. Grotle fires {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but Rhyperior dodges quickly, shocking everyone at how fast it moved thanks to Rock Polish. Rhyperior gets close and launches {{m|Sandstorm}}. Grotle stands its ground as the attack surrounds and batters it. Rhyperior launches a {{m|Rock Wrecker}}, harming Grotle even more but isn't enough to take it out. While [[Jessie]] and [[James]] watch, upsetting {{MTR}} who has to work, Ash has Grotle use {{m|Synthesis}} to heal since Rhyperior has to recharge from using Rock Wrecker. It taps into the healing move since the sandstorm has not blocked out the sun from above. Grotle recovers and uses Razor Leaf to neutralize the Sandstorm. | Grotle immediately fires {{m|Energy Ball}}, as Rhyperior stands firm and takes it with only minor damage thanks to {{a|Solid Rock}}.

Rhyperior recovers and charges with {{m|Megahorn}}. Grotle prepares to use Energy Ball, waiting for Rhyperior to get closer. However, when Rhyperior closes in too quickly, he hits Energy Ball with Megahorn, and Grotle is forced to swallow it. The results shock everyone as Grotle taps into a large amount of power, a green aura radiating up into the air from the bushes on its back. Dawn takes note of it, thinking it would look good in a [[Pokémon Contest]]. The green aura dissipates, but Grotle's bushes continue to glow, with energy moving through them. Though as shocked as anyone else, Palmer has Rhyperior launch Rock Wrecker as Grotle rears up and slams its {{m|Rock Climb}} claws into the ground, creating a mountain on the field from underneath Rhyperior. Grotle continues and charges forward, ascending the rock formation and dodging the attack before ramming into Rhyperior and steadily driving it back with brute strength, impressing Barry and Palmer. However, Rhyperior uses its tail to stop Grotle's charge before landing a Rock Wrecker at point-blank range, creating a huge explosion and destroying the field mountain. As the smoke clears, Rhyperior is clearly exhausted, but Grotle lies at its feet, [[fainting|knocked out]]. Though somewhat disappointed with the loss, Ash takes it in stride as he compliments Grotle. Palmer presents the trophy to Ash for winning the tournament. | Rhyperior recovers and charges with {{m|Megahorn}}. Grotle prepares to use Energy Ball, waiting for Rhyperior to get closer.
