| Ash and his friends are still at Lake Acuity when Paul appears. Ash and him decide to start the battle that was planned 10 days ago. Ash sends out all six of his Pokémon. First Ash started with Buizel and Paul started with his Torterra. Ash, knowing that Buizel is at a disadvantage, calls back Buizel and sends out his Gliscor. Torterra was about to fall, but suddenly Torterra makes a comeback. Ash decided to return Gliscor back. Ash sent Staraptor to battle Torterra but when Staraptor used Brave Bird, Torterra hit Staraptor with Stone Edge. Paul returned Torterra and sent out Weavile. Staraptor tries to attack but always gets hit, but Staraptor still manages to fight. Staraptor's determination leads to a victory. Ash returned back Staraptor and sent out Grotle while Paul sent out Electabuzz. Grotle used Energy Ball while Electabuzz protected itself. Paul returned Electabuzz and sent out Honchkrow. Ash's Grotle loses against Paul's Honchkrow . At the end of the episode Paul sends out his newly evolved Magmortar, after Ash calls out his Pikachu. | |||||
