    Now facing Harrison, Ash uses Pikachu against Keckleon and after a little dificulty, Ash wins from Pikachu swinging its tongue and using Thunderbolt. With Harrison's Sneasel, it beats Pikachu with Slash. Using Totodile, it "plays around with Sneasel" and wins after its knockout. Using Hypno, it hypnotizes Totodile and Ash using Snorlax, it gets mad after it was "dream eaten" from Hypno and finishes with BodySlam. After the break, Ash uses Noctowl but gets knocked out from Steelix. using Snorlax, it knocks out Steelix using IcePunch. Now it gets defeated with Houndoom. Using Bayleef's VineWhip to toss it around and Body-Slam it, houndoom faints. Now for a surprise, Harrison uses Blaziken an undiscovered Pokemon as of yet in Johto and beats Bayleef. Now using Charizard, both use Flamethrower and no one knows who will win.moreless

    • Steelix uses Dig to attack Noctowl. However it should not have worked since Dig is a Ground-type attack and Noctowl is a part Flying-type, and thus it is immune to it. Edit
    • Ash's Totodile uses Leer for the first time. Edit
    • Ash uses Pikachu, Totodile, Snorlax, Noctowl, Bayleef, and Charizard in the battle while Harrison uses Kecleon, Sneasel, Hypno, Steelix, Houndoom, and Blaziken Edit
