== Episode Summary ==
 
[[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] uses [[Quick Attack]], which hits, but Pikachu gets a burn due to [[Flame Body]]. Pikachu uses [[Thunderbolt]], which [[Magmortar]] counters with [[Flamethrower]]. Pikachu uses [[Volt Tackle]] while Magmortar uses [[Rock Tomb]], knocking Pikachu to the floor, where it suffers from it's burn. Magmortar uses [[Smog]], but Pikachu uses [[Counter Shield]] to use to counter the Smog and hurt Magmortar. Pikachu suffers from it's burn. Magmortar uses Flamethrower, but Pikachu jumps out of the way and hits Magmortar on the head with [[Iron Tail]]. It gets hurt from it's burn again, so [[Ash]] recalls it and sends out [[Ash's Buizel|Buizel]]. Buizel hits Magmortar with [[Aqua Jet]], and then proceeds to use [[Water Pulse]], which Magmortar blocks with Rock Tomb, but Buizel uses Aqua Jet only to find that Magmortar had jumped in the air. It uses Smog to poison Buizel.
 
   
  +
==Plot==
[[Paul]] recalls Magmortar and sends out [[Ursaring]]. Buizel uses [[Water Gun]] , but Ursaring easily blocks it with [[Hammer Arm]]. Ursaring increases his strength using [[Bulk Up]]. Buizel uses Aqua Jet, but Ursaring hits it hard with Slash. Ursaring then uses [[Focus Blast]], which backfires when Buizel uses Counter Shield. Buizel uses Sonicboom, but Ursaring runs through it and uses Hammer Arm. Ash thinks about recalling it, but Buizel wants to stay in so he lets it. It uses Aqua Jet, but Ursaring knocks it out with a Focus Blast. Ash then sends out Staraptor, who hits Ursaring with an Aerial Ace, dodging Hammer Arm. Ursaring then hits with Focus Blast. Staraptor tries to use [[Close Combat]], but Ursaring knocks it out by a combo of Slash and Hammer Arm.
 
  +
Ash warns Pikachu not to let his guard down. Reggie knows that Paul knows that Ash would change his Pokémon if he used a Ground-type against Pikachu, so sticks with Magmortar. Pikachu starts with Quick Attack, pushing Magmortar away. Pikachu is burnt, as Magmortar's Flame Body caused damage. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, which collides with Flamethrower. Pikachu charges with Volt Tackle, but is stopped by several Rock Tomb moves and gets still burnt. Magmortar uses Smog, but Pikachu spins and uses Thunderbolt, which deflects Smog in a fashion like Ash's battle with Fantina.
   
  +
Magmortar uses Flamethrower, though Pikachu jumps and hits it with Iron Tail. Seeing how he still takes burning damage, Ash calls Pikachu back and sends Buizel. Buizel uses Aqua Jet, hurting Magmortar and continues with Water Pulse. Magmortar uses Rock Tom for protection, which gets destryoed by Water Pulse. Buizel uses Aqua Jet, but Magmortar is not present anymore. Magmortar uses Smog, affecting Buizel. Paul calls Magmotar back and sends Ursaring. Buizel uses Water Gun, which Ursaring negates with Hammer Arm. Ursaring uses Bulk Up to strengthen itself. Buizel uses Aqua Jet, wounding Ursaring, though Ursaring still manages to slash Buizel. Ursaring uses Focus Blast, but Buizel spins and uses Aqua Jet to deflect the attack back to Ursaring.
Paul sends out [[Electabuzz]] and Ash sends out [[Ash's Chimchar|Chimchar]]. Electabuzz uses Light Screen and gets recalled. Paul then sends out Torterra. Chimchar uses Flame Wheel, but Torterra uses [[Stone Edge]], which Chimchar dodges, but it hits anyway. Chimchar then uses Flamethrower, but [[Light Screen]] protects it. Chimchar gets recalled and Ash sends out Gliscor, who uses X-Scissor. However Torterra quickly knocks it out with Frenzy Plant. It then turns out to be Pikachu fighting Ursaring. Pikachu hits it with Quick Attack, but gets hit by Hammer Arm. Pikachu hits it with Iron Tail, paralyzing it, which activates Guts. Ursaring throws Pikachu into Lake Acuity with Hammer Arm, KO'ing it, leaving Ash with Chimchar. He sends it out. Chimchar uses [[Flame Wheel]], which Ursaring counters with [[Slash]]. Chimchar hits Ursaring with Flamethrower, and then uses Dig. Ursaring uses Hammer Arm to the ground, but Chimchar gets out and uses Flamethrower, KO'ing Ursaring. Chimchar then evolves into Monferno and learns Mach Punch. Paul sends out Electabuzz, who is shocked at Chimchar's evolution. Monferno uses Mach Punch, sending Electabuzz flying into a rock. Electabuzz uses Thunder, which hits and paralyzes Monferno. Monferno uses Flame Wheel, which Electabuzz blocks using Protect.
 
   
  +
Buizel attacks with SonicBoom and even if Ursaring is hit, it still charges and hits Buizel with Hammer Arm. Ash goes to call Buizel back, but it gives a signal it is good. Buizel charges with Aqua Jet, but gets defeated by Focus Blast. Ash calls it back and sends Staraptor. Staraptor uses Aerial Ace, dodging Ursaring's Hammer Arm and hitting it. Ursaring manages to hit him with Focus Blast. Ursaring slashes Staraptor, preventing his Close Combat and defeats him with Hammer Arm. Ash calls Staraptor and Paul his Ursaring back. Paul sends Electabuzz and Ash his Chimchar.
Monferno uses Flamethrower, which Electabuzz dodges. Electabuzz uses [[Thunderpunch]], which Monferno dodges and uses Dig, hitting Electabuzz in the face. Flame Wheel is executed, but is tried to be blocked by Thunder. Monferno uses Counter Shield, helping Flame Wheel get a clean hit. Monferno uses [[Mach Punch]], but Electabuzz nearly knocks it out with [[Thunder]]. Flamethrower is tried, but stopped thanks to paralysis. Monferno tail fire grows because of anticipation. Mach Punch and Thunderpunch collide, but Monferno faints due to damage and paralysis.
 
   
  +
Chimchar uses Flamethrower, which gets countered by Protect. Electabuzz uses Light Screen for additional protection, then is called back. Paul sends Torterra, so Chimchar uses Flame Wheel. Torterra uses Stone Edge, so Chimchar evades, though Torterra changes the attack direction and hits Chimchar. Chimchar uses Flamethrower, which gets countered by Light Screen. Ash calls Chimchar back, making Team Rocket very tired with all the button pushing. Ash sends Gliscor, who uses X-Scissor, but gets pushed away and defeated with Frenzy Plant.
