Inside, Professor Elm updates Ash on {{AP|Larvitar}}, and how it and its mother, {{p|Tyranitar}} living in peace under Ranger Mason's preserve.  Just then, they hear of a Pokémon brawl breaking out outside, with Bulbasaur and Meganium involved.  Ash and Jackson figure that their Pokémon are involved, and rush outside.  Seeing their Pokémon grappling, they try in vain to quell the fighting.  Only when {{jo|Harrison}} appears with {{p|Miltank}} does the fighting stop, by way of {{m|Heal Bell}}.  As both Ash and Jackson thank Harrison for breaking up the fight, Officer Jenny arrives to see what the commotion was about, and warns that any brawls could get their Pokémon's trainers disqualified.  Harrison covers for Ash and Jackson, saying that the four Pokémon were only practicing against each other, with {{Gary}} appearing to back up Harrison's claim.  With Officer Jenny gone, Gary and Ash exchange a bit of trash talk, before Gary leaves.

Later, as Ash and company are deciding on the three entrants against Jackson, noting that, in addition to Azumarill and Meganium, he also has a {{shiny2}} {{p|Magneton}}, but Meganium is the strongest Pokémon on his team.  Misty advises Ash to enter {{AP|Cyndaquil}} (as a Meganium counter) and Pikachu (as an Azumarill counter).

The next day, the match begins in a smaller stadium, with Jackson having the first move (showboating off once again).  Jackson leads off with Azumarill, so Pikachu leads off.  Azumarill leads off with {{m|Water Gun}}, while Pikachu evades with {{m|Quick Attack}}.  As Pikachu reverses for the attack, Azumarill dodges at the last minute.  After exchanging a Thunderbolt and a {{m|BubbleBeam}}, Azumarill connects with {{m|Icy Wind}} and follows up with {{m|Iron Tail}}.  Pikachu, however, grabs the tail just as it connects and reverses with a {{m|Thunder}}, knocking it out.
