Synopsis

Ash and Harrison are left with only one Pokémon left. Both Charizard and Blaziken start off with a powerful Flamethrower attack, which collide to form a giant smoke cloud. As the smoke clears, neither Pokémon is fazed by the explosion. Ash then commands Charizard to use Flamethrower again, which Blaziken easily dodges by jumping high into the air. Brock was surprised to see Blaziken jumping so high. Taking advantage of the fact that Blaziken can't move freely in the air, Charizard uses Dragon Rage, which, to Ash's surprise, Blaziken dodges, then counters using Quick Attack. Charizard flies up to dodge, but Blaziken attacks with Flamethrower. Charizard dodges and counters with another Flamethrower that collides with Blaziken's next attack. Then Blaziken uses Quick Attack again and Charizard is hit by a Fire Punch, but, unfazed, counters with a Flamethrower that hits Blaziken dead on.

Blaziken is ordered once again to use Quick Attack. As Charizard and Blaziken brawl it out, Ash commands Charizard to use Seismic Toss. Brock and Misty cheer as Charizard circles around in the air. As the smoke clears Blaziken is down, but the announcer is interrupted as, to the surprise of everyone, Blaziken gets up. With both Pokémon tired out, Blaziken uses one more Quick Attack, which Charizard counters with Flamethrower. Charizard attacks again with Seismic Toss, but Blaziken dodges and smashes Charizard with a Blaze Kick, dealing severe damage to Charizard. Charizard, sustaining the damage, releases a full power Dragon Rage to meet Blaziken's Flamethrower. As the smoke clears, both Pokémon struggle to get up. Eventually both of them get up, but when Charizard is ordered to use Flamethrower. Despite the advantage Charizard had, it fainted.

Later, Ash and crew say goodbye to Squirtle and Officer Jenny. In the next match, Harrison loses to another Trainer's Rhyhorn. Ash blames himself for Harrison's loss because Charizard and Blaziken battled so hard, Harrison was unable to use it.

That night, Harrison stayed alone in the nearby river, but Ash's friends joined him. Brock asked about how's his Blaziken, and Harrison answered Blaziken is going to be fine. Harrison also explained about Professor Birch. But when they heard somebody screaming, they hurried for the rescue.

Two girls were screaming as Ash and his friends ran over to them. The girls explained there are the ghosts. Brock reassured the girls, and told to use his Noctowl. And he does, Noctowl uses Foresight, and the ghosts are actually some Misdreavus. Suddenly, Gary comes in, and explains the Misdrevus are seemed to be looking for something. And Misdreavus went somewhere, and so did the gang.

There was another Misdreavus, which is stuck under a tree, and they altogether lifted the tree, and Misdreavus was flung to the ground. Gary ran and looked Misdreavus. Thankfully, it was not injured, and all of the Misdreavus became happy, going somewhere. Gary told the gang that Misdreavus actually live at Silver Mountain. He also explained that a Magikarp will evolve to a Gyarados. And when a Remoraid would evolve into an Octillery, they change form completely. And an Tyrogue will evolve to Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan or Hitmontop, depending on how they're raised. Finally, he told about Eevee will evolve to five different Pokémon (Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Umbreon or Espeon). And he reveals that he wants to be a Pokémon Researcher. Then Gary left. Everyone was amazed.

Next morning, the Silver Conference came to an end; Jon Dickson becomes the Champion of Johto League Silver Conference.

On the other side, Team Rocket was waiting for the customers. But because of the Silver Conference ended, no customers were seen. Suddenly, a huge group of people were heading straight towards the building. But they were no customers; they were none of the other than bill collectors. Team Rocket go inside the building and bill collectors were surprised to see a building moving. They flee, and Jessie explained she had included movable building feature.

Gary decides to travel around Mt. Silver then go to Pallet Town Harrison plans to keep on with his journey by participating in the Indigo League in Kanto. The gang decides to go to Viridian City then go to Pallet Town. Suddenly, they see the moving building. Team Rocket were happy to see the twerps. And they start to recite their motto. They surely knew it was Team Rocket, and James fires a coin missile. Pikachu and Ash blasts off, and Team Rocket raises electric-proof net to capture Pikachu. Right then, Gary calls out his Blastoise and orders Hydro Pump, which cuts the net in half. Harrison's Blaziken comes out next, and uses Flamethrower, setting the robot building on fire. Now, finally, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Team Rocket, together with the robot building blast off.

The episode ends with everyone heading separate ways.

Trivia

  • This episode can be found on the second GBA video.
  • Battles:
    • Ash vs. Harrison: Harrison won
    • Jon Dickson vs. Harrison: Jon Dickson won
  • This is the second Pokémon League where Ash loses the competition to a rival whom he knows outside the Pokémon league battles (the first being Ritchie in the Indigo League), who then loses the next round. It is also interesting to note that in both cases, Charizard was the last Pokémon used by Ash, except this time it didn't refuse to battle.
  • This episode's title is a reference to the phrase A Photo Finish.

Errors

  • After the explosion caused when Blaziken's Flamethrower and Charizard's Dragon Rage attacks collided, when Blaziken is attempting to compose itself, its hands are red instead of gray, and next, its tail is white instead of red. After that the yellow spot on its chest is white.
  • The ref repeats that Harrison is from Silver Town instead of Littleroot Town as seen in Pop Goes The Sneasel similar to the mistake in Can't Beat the Heat!.
  • Gary when talking about where the Misdreavus are from says Silver Mountain instead of Mt.Silver
