{{Ash}}, [[Morrison]], and many other trainers are waiting to hear the matchups for the second round of the Hoenn League, while [[Nurse Joy]] explains that this round will have opponents face off in one-round [[double battles]] in order to advance.  
{{Ash}} and company are awaiting the matchups for the second round of the Ever Grande Hoenn League. [[Nurse Joy]] explains that this round's battles are [[double battles]] and that 3 wins are required to advance.


The schedule is finally posted and Morrison will be in the day's first battle. He immediately proceeds to the stadium and faces off against [[Gavin]]. Morrison sends out {{p|Growlithe}} and {{p|Gligar}} to face his opponent's {{p|Marowak}} and {{p|Machamp}}.
The schedule is then shown on a screen and Ash and [[Morrison]] are battling today. Both are bickering on who is stronger but Morrison leaves since his battle is earlier. Morrison's battle begins and he faces off against [[Gavin]]. He sends out {{p|Growlithe}} and {{p|Gligar}} and Gavin sends out {{p|Marowak}} and {{p|Machamp}}.


Morrison orders a {{m|Flamethrower}} and a {{m|Fury Cutter}}, but Machamp blocks his attacks with {{m|Protect}}. Growlithe desperately tries to evade Marowak's bone attacks, but suffers a lot of damage. Gligar is hit by a {{m|DynamicPunch}}, but quickly counters with a Metal Claw, defeating Machamp.  
Morrison orders Growlithe to use {{m|Take Down}} on Marowak who evades and uses {{m|Headbutt}}. Gligar uses {{m|Guillotine}} on Machamp and Machamp uses {{m|Karate Chop}}. Growlithe suffers damage from Marowak's {{m|Headbutt}} but regains strength and uses {{m|Flamethrower}} but Marowak's {{m|Bone Club}} blocks it. Gligar is hit by a {{m|Dynamic Punch}} and then a {{m|Cross Chop}}. Machamp is badly struck by Gligar's {{m|Steel Wing}} and Growlithe takes damage from a {{m|Bonemerang}}. Marowak charges into a Flamethrower and slams a Headbutt on Growlithe. Marowak freezes Growlithe's legs with an {{m|Ice Beam}} and then smacks it with a Bone Club.


The battle is now 2-on-1 in Morrison's favor. Growlithe tries to use Flamethrower again, but Marowak jumps up and uses {{m|Bone Club}}. Growlithe gets knocked out and the match is down to one-on-one.  
Machamp hits Gligar with a {{m|Vital Throw}} but Gligar counters with Guillotine. A weak Machamp is then struck several times by Gligar's {{m|Steel Wing}} who then defeats Machamp with another Guillotine. Gavin is left with his Marowak against Gligar and Growlithe. Marowak dodges Growlithe's flamethrower and slams a Bone Club on it knocking it out. The battle is now one-on-one. Gligar's Guillotine and Marowak's Headbutt collide sending both flying. marowak freezes one of Gligar's wings who slams into the ground. After struggling from a Bone Club Gligar hits Marowak with an {{m|Iron Tail}} sending it flying. Morrison is then declared the winner.


Marowak uses an {{m|Ice Beam}} to try and freeze Gligar while launching a {{m|Bonemerang}}, but Gligar counters the Bonemerang with Iron Tail, sending the bone flying back at Marowak, knocking it out.  
Later that day, Ash is seen runnig with {{p|Pikachu}}, but then he falls into a hole. He looks up and [[Team Rocket]] appear. As they are about to recite their motto, their employer bursts through the wall and runs them away. Ash is then seen in the battlefield with his opponent [[Dominick]]. Ash releases {{p|Torkoal}} and {{p|Corphish}} and DOminick send outs {{p|Tropius}} and {{p|Swalot}}. Tropius starts off by flying up in the air and whips a {{m|Razor Leaf}} at Ash. Torkoal's and Corphish's defence, block the attack. Tropius' {{m|Bullet Seed}} seems futile against Torkoal's {{m|Iron Defence}}. Swalot hits Corphish with a {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and Tropius' {{m|Gust}} send Torkoal flying, but Torkoal uses Flamethrower on Tropius. Tropius dodges {{m|Overheat}} and Corphish dodges Swalot's {{m|Body Slam}}. Swalot seems to be a tough opponent since most of the attacks slip or bounce off its body. This happens when Corphish launches a {{m|BubbleBeam}}.


Later that day, Ash stands at the same battlefield ready for his first match. He sends out {{TP|Ash|Corphish}} and {{TP|Ash|Torkoal}} to do battle with a {{p|Swalot}} and {{p|Tropius}}. Swalot quickly proves to be the more difficult opponent, with most attacks simply bouncing off (much like [[Ash's Muk]] in its first [[Indigo League]] battle).  
Tropius defends against Torkoal's and Corphish's combined attacks. Torkoal and Tropius both faint after their {{m|SolarBeam}} and Overheat collide. Ash and Dominick are both down to one pokemon now. Corphish gets dazed after getting hit from Swalot's {{m|Shockwave}} and is sent flying. Corphish is then hit by a bodyslam and is then struck down by a {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Corphish gets up and charges through a shockwave and grabs Swalot and throughs it. Seeing this as a good attack Ash tells Corphish to release Bubblebeam in Swalot's mouth. The bubbles explode and after the dust settles Swalot faints. Ash wins and wualifies to the next round.


Tropius begins to charge up a {{m|SolarBeam}} while Torkoal uses Flamethrower followed by Overheat. The combination of force from both attacks results in a double-knockout.
[[Jesse]], [[James]] and [[Meowth]] are tired of working, but their works soon pays off when their employer walks in and praises them for their hard work. He then gives them some food to eat. Ash and Morrison are then told that [[Tyson]] also his battle. The episode ends with Ash and Morrison bickering again about who is stronger.      


Corphish is now facing Swalot alone. Swalot launches a type-advantageous {{m|Shock Wave}}, but Ash gets the idea to have Corphish use {{m|BubbleBeam}} inside Swalot's mouth. The bubbles explode, defeating Swalot, and netting the win for Ash, who is now qualified for the next round.
