The purple-haired boy from before sees Ash climbing up to the Cyndaquil, and he commands his {{p|Sandslash}} to use {{m|Sand-Attack}}.

However, Ash grabs Cyndaquil while still running from the putty ball. Koji steps out to confront Ash, but is hit by the putty ball. As Ash rounds a turn, the putty ball hits the cavern wall and explodes. The force of the blast sends Ash, Pikachu and Cyndaquil flying out of the cave system. The trio are uninjured but Ash looks up and sees the Meowth mecha standing over him. Team Rocket sends out another bubblegum bomb and its stickiness pins Ash against a cliff wall. Ash lets Cyndaquil free and tells it to run before it gets hurt. Cyndaquil complies and as it begins to run up the rock wall, the Meowth mecha blocks its path with its fist. Cyndaquil is startled and remains motionless. As Team Rocket goes to use a Meowth punch, Cyndaquil’s back erupts with fire and the small Pokemon soon engulfs Team Rocket's mecha in an overwhelming {{m|Flamethrower}}. The mecha begins sparking and crumbling from the intensity of the flames. Pikachu frees himself and Ash with Thunderbolt. Ash then throws a [[Poké Ball]] at Cyndaquil so it will not get hurt by the ensuing explosion, just as Team Rocket blasts off.

Koji challenges Ash to a {{pkmn|battle}} over Cyndaquil. Ash accepts despite Brock's insistence that he doesn't have to, and even uses Cyndaquil in the battle, confident that it will use its powerful Flamethrower again. Koji declares that the match will be a one-on-one single Pokémon battle before the challenge ensues.


Ash discovers that he has {{pkmn2|caught}} Cyndaquil as Misty and Brock show up. The purple-haired kid comes out of the cave wanting to catch Cyndaquil, but when he realizes that he was beaten to it, he angrily challenges Ash to a battle to see who gets Cyndaquil. Ash accepts despite Brock's insistence that he doesn't have to, and even uses Cyndaquil in the battle, confident that it will use its powerful Flamethrower again. However, Cyndaquil does nothing besides dodging Sandslash's attacks, though this wears the Mouse Pokémon out. Sandslash recovers and uses {{m|Swift}}; Ash tells Cyndaquil to counter with Flamethrower, but it fails. Cyndaquil continues to dodge attacks but is finally knocked back into a tree. It quickly recovers and causes Sandslash to get stuck, then finally finishes the battle with {{m|Tackle}}.
Koji makes the first move, and Sandslash attacks with a {{m|Fury Swipes}}. Cyndaquil wakes up in time to dodge the attack. Cyndaquil continues to evade Sandslash's attacks, impressing Ash with its technique. Sandslash is left exhausted and Ash commands Cyndaquil to use Flamethrower, but nothing happens. Koji demands his Pokemon continue battling and Sandslash continues to {{m|Slash}} away while Cyndaquil evades. Sandslash flicks sand into Cyandaquil’s eyes. It follows up with a {{m|Swift}} attack and lands a direct hit after Cyndaquil was unable to perform Flamethrower to counter. Ash decides to change his strategy and has Cyndaquil continue to dodge Sandslash's attacks. Soon enough, Sandslash knocks Cyndaquil into a tree. As Sandslash goes in for a finishing Fury Swipe, Cyndaquil leaps into the air and Sandslash's claw becomes stuck in the tree trunk. Cyndaquil dives down and lands a {{m|Tackle}} on Sandslash's head, ending the match. Koji recalls Sandslash and pulls out a net to snare himself Ash's Cyndaquil.

However, the mecha soon finds the pair with its eye beam. James fires another bubblegum bomb, but it misses. As Team Rocket go to pursue Ash, the mecha trips over a tree root.

Ash and Pikachu soon emerge from the forest and come across a series a rock wall dotted with many small caves. When a Cyndaquil pops out of one of the caves, Ash scans it with his Pokédex and then starts to climb up to the cave. Koji arrives on the scene and spots Ash as he makes his ascent towards a Cyndaquil. He decides to intervene and has his Sandslash use Sand-Attack. The sand flies into Ash's face and causes him to slip back to the ground. Koji soon joins his Sandslash on a rock ledge and enter the cave system to pursue Cyndaquil.

When Ash enters the cave, he sees several small holes that Cyndaquil could have gone into. Ash then sees Cyndaquil run passed him, but falls over as Sandslash dashes by.
