The following day, Ash goes to pick up his [[Poké Ball]]s and encounters Ritchie along the way. Like Ash, he is also a little shaken from the prospect of going up against a friend. [[Nurse Joy]] points out that Ash is lucky that he gets to battle a friend, and he and Ritchie vow to make it their best battle. Later, Team Rocket lures him into meeting them with a fake phone call, using a voice changer device to sound like Ritchie. They kidnap him and load him into the back of their truck. Faced with the threat of missing his battle, Ash uses {{AP|Squirtle}} to flood the entire truck, and escapes when it hits a roadside guardrail. Team Rocket returns, but Ash uses his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s {{m|Vine Whip}} to defeat them. They return yet again, with bikes this time, but {{AP|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} to {{status|paralyze}} them. | The following day, Ash goes to pick up his [[Poké Ball]]s and encounters Ritchie along the way.

At the stadium, as Ritchie makes his entrance onto the [[Indigo Plateau]] battlefield, Misty confronts him over the morning's rude phone call, suspecting he scared Ash off with his words to win. He denies making the call, and Misty realizes something is amiss. Meanwhile, Team Rocket returns a final time with a claw attached to their balloon and pursue Ash on the bike he stole from them. As they lift him into the air, Ash calls out {{AP|Pidgeotto}} to fly Pikachu up to their balloon. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on them, and they drop into the forest | At the stadium, as Ritchie makes his entrance onto the [[Indigo Plateau]] battlefield, Misty confronts him over the morning's rude phone call, suspecting he scared Ash off with his words to win.

Meanwhile, as everyone waits impatiently for Ash's arrival, the referee approaches Ritchie to inform him that Ash will be disqualified for not turning up and Ritchie will win the match by default. Ritchie tells the referee that he and Ash promised each other a great battle, that Ash must have a good reason for not being there, and that he is certain Ash will turn up. The referee agrees to give Ash ten more minutes. Eventually, Ash appears overhead in the balloon. Unfortunately, Pidgeotto has been left exhausted from flying the entire balloon to the stadium, and Ash thanks it for its effort. | Meanwhile, as everyone waits impatiently for Ash's arrival, the referee approaches Ritchie to inform him that Ash will be disqualified for not turning up and Ritchie will win the match by default.
