Ash, Brock and Dawn meet Paul again at Lake Acuity for the battle that Reggie suggested Ash and Paul should have. Ash is determined to finally defeat Paul, who is eager to beat his oponent, especially after discovering he had won the Brave Symbol — the only achievement that his brother didn't get.
As the full battle is about to begin, the one which will attack first is decided by the Coin Toss of Dawn's Pokétch. Ash wins, so he chooses Buizel, while Paul sends out Torterra. Once the battle started, Ash quickly returned Buizel and chose to send out Gliscor.
The battle then begun: Gliscor used Sand-Attack while Paul commanded Torterra to use Giga Drain, which was easily dodged. Ash orders his Pokémon to use X-Scissor, successfully hitting, and pushes Torterra backwards. Paul orders to use Frenzy Plant, but it was again dodged by Gliscor, who then went on to use Fire Fang. This hits Torterra badly. The Fang Scorp Pokémon followed it up with an X-Scissor and a Steel Wing attack, but when the second one hits, Gliscor's tail dangled down and was bitten by the big turtle Pokémon, pinning it in one spot and giving Torterra the chance of wrapping it with Giga Drain. Ash's commands Gliscor to use Fire Fang on the Giga Drain attack to break it free, but it was already badly injured so Ash returned it back into its ball.
Now that Torterra's exhausted, Ash sends out Staraptor and commands him to use Brave Bird while Torterra countered it with Stone Edge. The latter stops Staraptor mid-air and sends him crashing to the ground. Paul then returns Torterra and sends out Weavile, then the battle continues. Ash orders Staraptor to use Quick Attack, but Weavile protected itself. It then used Swords Dance while the Flying-type was commanded to use Aerial Ace. Weavile switches to Blizzard, hitting Staraptor and making its Aerial Ace fail, but it still continues to fly. The Sharp Claw Pokémon jumped to Staraptor's back and used Metal Claw, making him crash again to the floor. Ash and Paul then told them to use Metal Claw and Close Combat respectively, making a close battle of slashes and blows, but Staraptor gets the upper hand and takes the control over its opponent. Weavile used Blizzard but Staraptor countered it with Brave Bird, being hurt in the process but finally taking Weavile down of the battle, and giving Ash his first victory on the 6-on-6 fight.
Ash decides to return Staraptor and send Grotle out, while Paul chooses Electabuzz. Grotle was told to use Energy Ball but Electabuzz protected itself by using Light Screen. Paul quickly substitutes his Pokémon with Honchkrow; Ash tells Grotle to use Razor Leaf but Honchkrow easily dodges them all and uses Night Slash which successfully hits. Ash orders Grotle to use Energy Ball the second time, but Electabuzz's Light Screen was still in effect, so the attack did nothing. Then, Honchkrow uses Haze to blind Grotle. Ash orders his Pokémon to use Razor Leaf but, before it could hit, Honchkrow used Night Slash again and left Grotle too exhausted, so Ash told it to use Synthesis. Honchkrow quicly prepared itself to attack with Aerial Ace, and Grotle was told to useRock Climb. However, the honch Pokémon's attack arrived first and knocked it's opponent out. Paul then returned Honchkrow to its Poké Ball.
Pikachu told Ash that it's ready to battle, so he chooses him to battle the next round, while as everyone's surprise, Paul sends out his recently evolved Magmortar. The episode ends with the battle between both Pokémon about to begin, and one Pokémon of each trainer being out of the battle.

- When Honchkrow hits Ash's Grotle, the Score Board does not show Honchkrow at all, and shows Electabuzz being out. Seconds later, when the Score board is being updated with Grotle's KO, Honchkrow is seen.
