<!--Having both progressed through the initial rounds of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], it's finally time for {{Ash}} and [[Paul]]'s long awaited league battle. With {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Barry}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} (acting as a cheerleader) watching from the stands, {{TRT}} selling snacks to the audience and {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Cynthia]] and [[Charles Goodshow]] observing too, both competitors are brought into the main stadium where they will conduct a [[Full Battle]] to decide who will get through to the semi-finals. Ash decides to begin with {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Paul sends out his first Pokémon, [[Aggron]]. The two Trainers face off, both aiming to settle their long-standing [[rival]]ry once and for all...
The action then shows a flashback of Ash preparing for his battle against Paul by getting in some last-minute training alongside {{AP|Gliscor}}, which has recently returned from its training with [[McCann]] the Air Master. Gliscor practices [[Giga Impact]] in a session with Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} while {{an|Barry}} watches from Ash's side. After commending his Pokémon on how much its improved since being left for training, Ash reflects on his [[DP131|past]] [[DP132|battle]] with Paul, on how badly he lost and how much he's hoped to have improved. Inside the [[Pokémon Center]], Dawn preps Piplup and gives him his new cheering uniform. Meanwhile, Paul talks to [[Reggie]] about his upcoming battle with Ash just as Dawn enters the lobby looking for her friends, but she quickly ducks out of sight. Reggie regrets not being able to be there, but Paul understands that he cannot just drop his
Returning to the present, Paul begins by having Aggron use [[Metal Claw]], and Ash has Pikachu counter with [[Iron Tail]] and the two {{type|Steel}} moves impact canceling each other out. Paul then tells Aggron to use [[Metal Sound]]. A high-pitched noise is produced from Aggron's horns which causes pain to Pikachu. In the stands, {{MTR}} is also affected and can barely move, leading Jessie and James to cheer for Ash in order to make sure no-one notices Meowth. Piplup is also affected by the attack as Brock explains that Metal Sound lowers a Pokémon's special defense. Ash instructs Pikachu to use [[Thunderbolt]] to stop Aggron's attack, and Pikachu manages to pull it off, stopping Aggron as well as causing a little damage. Pikachu then uses [[Volt Tackle]], speeding towards Aggron. Paul counters with Aggron's [[Flash Cannon]], hitting Pikachu and sending him flying, rolling back onto his feet. Ash knows Pikachu is struggling and decides to call him back to save for later and substitutes with {{AP|Infernape}}. Cynthia recognizes Infernape as the [[Chimchar]] she [[DP040|once battled]] while Team Rocket are excited to see Infernape battle, having had a soft spot for it since the [[Tag Battle Tournament]]. Paul tells Aggron to use [[Double-Edge]] while Ash tells Infernape to counter with [[Flare Blitz]]. The two powerful and dangerous attacks collide. The two are sent backwards, and Infernape suffers from the [[recoil]]. Unfortunately, Aggron has the [[Rock Head]] Ability which cancels out the normal recoil from Double-Edge... but luckily for Ash, it turns out that Aggron has suffered {{Status|burn}}s from Flare Blitz. Ash then instructs Infernape to use [[Mach Punch]], and Paul orders Aggron to use Flash Cannon, but Infernape lands the fast Mach Punch before Aggron can fire, sending Aggron flying into the wall behind Paul and crushing the surface on impact. When the smoke clears it is [[fainting|unable to battle]], giving Ash the lead.
