Ash takes his position and calls on his Bayleef to start things off with a Razor Leaf. Poliwrath dodges and strikes back with a Double Slap. In the meantime, Poliwhirl begins to recover to watch the battle. Misty wants Poliwhirl to watch as it “will” evolve into a Poliwrath someday. The match soon appears to be a bad matchup for Bayleef as Poliwrath has her standing on two feet, not four. Team Rocket is also watching the match, Jessie declares that she wants Poliwrath instead of Pikachu this time. James and Meowth agree, because if they had Poliwrath, Pikachu would be easier to catch. Meanwhile, both Bayleef and Poliwrath appear to be severely damaged. Bayleef uses a Tackle attack and Poliwrath uses Double Slap. Suddenly, Brock stops the match. Both Ash and Delaney are annoyed, but Brock points out that both Pokémon are too injured to go on. Delaney concedes and agrees to a draw with Ash before officially introducing himself.
