== Synopsis ==
Last time, {{Ash}} had begun his {{pkmn|battle}} with {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}. {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} had already defeated Drake's {{p|Ditto}} and {{p|Onix}} (Pikachu beat Ditto and Squirtle beat Onix, respectively), now, he's got to beat Drake's {{p|Gengar}}. In a collision with {{AP|Lapras}}'s {{m|Ice Beam}} and Gengar's {{m|Night Shade}}, which [[Pokémon]] will remain standing? Will it be Drake's Gengar or Ash's Lapras?


After the explosion from the Ice Beam and Night Shade attacks, both Gengar and Lapras faint. Ash and Drake recall their Pokémon and a field change ensues. After field change, Drake calls out his {{p|Venusaur}} and Ash uses {{AP|Tauros}}. Ash tries to start things off with a {{m|Fissure}} attack, but the attack doesn't work, because the sand on the field absorbed the attack. Drake tells Venusaur to use {{m|SolarBeam}}. Ash tells Tauros to use {{m|Take Down}}, but Tauros is unable to hit Venusaur due to all the sand on the field. Ash tells Tauros to use {{m|Horn Attack}}. Tauros's Horn Attack sends Drake's Venusaur soaring into the air. As this happens, Venusaur releases its SolarBeam on Tauros, but Tauros isn't down, yet. Tauros, after dodging Venusaur's {{m|Vine Whip}}, hits Venusaur with Take Down, defeating Venusaur.

<i>As if a gym battle with a Dragonite isn't challenge enough for one day, Team Rocket secretly surveys the weakened state of Ash's battling Pokémon and plots to turn the situation to their advantage.</i>
 
==Plot==
[[EP111|Following]] the explosion caused by a collision of their respective {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Night Shade}} attacks, both {{AP|Lapras}} and {{p|Gengar}} are revealed to have [[Fainting|fainted]]. {{Ash}} and {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} [[recall]] their Pokémon, and with three of Drake's Pokémon defeated, the field changes. The announcer remarks how Ash is the first {{pkmn|Trainer}} to knock out three of Drake's Pokémon in a row. In the stands, {{TRT}} reaffirm their plan to capture [[Drake's Dragonite]] once it's been weakened.
 
After the field changes into a desert field, Drake calls out his {{p|Venusaur}} and Ash uses {{AP|Tauros}} again. Ash tries to start things off with {{m|Fissure}}, but it doesn't work because the sand on the field absorbs the attack. Drake tells Venusaur to use {{m|Solar Beam}}. Hoping to cause [[damage]] before the Solar Beam is charged, Ash tells Tauros to use {{m|Take Down}}, but the sandy field doesn't allow him to gain any traction. In a last-ditch effort, Ash has Tauros send Venusaur flying. Venusaur is sent soaring into the air, but it manages to turn itself in midair and releases its Solar Beam directly on Tauros. Unexpectedly, Tauros isn't defeated and the Solar Beam actually freed him from the sand. Venusaur then launches a barrage of {{m|Vine Whip}}s, a few of which hit Tauros. The {{pkmn|category|Wild Bull Pokémon}} powers through the onslaught and hits Venusaur with a powerful Take Down attack, defeating it.
 
Drake recalls Venusaur and sends out an {{p|Electabuzz}}. Seeing that Tauros is starting to get tired, with the [[recoil]] from Take Down not helping the matter, Ash recalls his Pokémon and sends out {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Drake has Electabuzz to use {{m|Thunder Shock}}, but Bulbasaur's [[type]] advantage leaves it unfazed and it counters with a {{m|Razor Leaf}} flurry. Electabuzz is hit by a few of the leaves, but then deflects the remaining ones with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Drake has Electabuzz use {{m|Thunder Punch}}, while Ash has Bulbasaur use {{m|Tackle}}. Bulbasaur lands its attack, but is then defeated by Electabuzz's Thunder Punch. Ash promptly sends out {{AP|Charizard}}, whom the announcer identifies as the only fully [[Evolution|evolved]] Pokémon in the young Trainer's [[Party|team]]. Electabuzz uses a combination of Thunder Punch and {{m|Thunder}} to deal big damage, but Charizard counterattacks with {{m|Fire Spin}}. Electabuzz attempts to follow up with Thunderbolt, but Charizard grabs it and uses {{m|Seismic Toss}}, defeating it. With only one Pokémon left, Drake removes the {{i|Poké Ball}} from his necklace and sends out his undefeated Dragonite.
 
Charizard uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, but Dragonite counters with {{m|Water Gun}}, which negates the attack and strikes Charizard with the {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super-effective}} move. Charizard takes flight, and Dragonite quickly follows. Dragonite uses {{m|Ice Beam}}, hitting Charizard's wing and sending him into a free-fall. Charizard quickly recovers and goes in for a Seismic Toss, but Dragonite maneuvers away and turns the move around by grabbing Charizard by the neck. Dragonite then uses {{m|Slam}}, and Charizard is sent crashing into the ground. Though weakened considerably, Charizard gets back on his feet. Ash orders Charizard to use {{m|Dragon Rage}}, and Drake commands Dragonite to do the same. Both attacks collide, and the two Pokémon are sent flying back. While Dragonite is left dazed, the attack causes Charizard to faint. Ash recalls Charizard, thanking him for still wearing Dragonite down.


Drake recalls Venusaur and sends out his {{p|Electabuzz}}. Ash decides to let Tauros rest, and sends out {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Drake tells Electabuzz to use {{m|Thunder}}, but Bulbasaur counters it with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Drake tells Electabuzz to use {{m|ThunderPunch}}, and Ash has Bulbasaur use {{m|Tackle}}. However, after being hit by Electabuzz's ThunderPunch, Bulbasaur is defeated. Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}}. Charizard and Electabuzz fight it out with their best attacks. Charizard grabs Electabuzz by its neck and uses {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Electabuzz is defeated and now, Drake has only one Pokémon left. Luckily for Drake, he has saved the best for last. And so, Drake removes the [[Poké Ball]] from his necklace and sends out {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}.
Knowing none of his Pokémon are on the same [[level]] as Dragonite, Ash decides they will have to work together to take it out. He sends out Squirtle, who is still tired from its earlier battle with Drake's {{p|Onix}}. Squirtle starts off with {{m|Hydro Pump}}, but it is knocked to the ground by Dragonite's Water Gun. It then uses Thunderbolt, but Squirtle {{m|Withdraw}}s in time to escape the majority of the damage. Drake commands a {{m|Body Slam}}, and Dragonite flies into the air and starts to descend. Ash has Squirtle use {{m|Bubble Beam}}, and the attack hits dead on, causing the Body Slam to fail; upon landing, however, Dragonite slams its tail into Squirtle hard, knocking it out. Despite the victory, Dragonite continues to lose energy.


Ash's Charizard seems unafraid of the [[pseudo-legendary]] {{t|Dragon}} [[Pokémon]]. Charizard quickly uses a {{m|Flamethrower}} but Dragonite counters with {{m|Water Gun}}, not only negating the attack but also striking Charizard with the [[Damage modification|super-effective]] move. Charizard then attempts to {{m|Fly}} upward, and Dragonite quickly follows. Dragonite starts to use {{m|Ice Beam}}, and one hits Charizard's wing and it starts to go into freefall. Luckily Charizard recovers and goes in for a {{m|Seismic Toss}} but Dragonite escapes, turns the move around and grabs Charizard by the neck. Dragonite then uses {{m|Slam}} and Charizard is sent crashing into the ground. Luckily it just survives the move and stands up, facing Dragonite dead on. Ash commands Charizard to use {{m|Dragon Rage}}, and Drake commands Dragonite to do the same. Both attacks collide, and the two Pokémon are sent flying back. While Dragonite is left fazed, it's too much for Charizard and it faints. Ash recalls Charizard, thanking it for wearing Dragonite down. Indeed, Dragonite is already seen breathing heavily from the battle.
Seizing this chance, Team Rocket appears in their {{DL|Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth Balloon}} and tosses a net onto Dragonite. After saying their {{motto}}, the trio thanks Ash for assisting them with their scheme. As Drake grows furious with Team Rocket for interrupting the competition, Dragonite breaks the net with its large wings and pops Team Rocket's balloon with {{m|Skull Bash}}, sending them blasting off again.


Knowing all his Pokémon will have to work together to take out Dragonite, Ash sends out Squirtle, who is still tired from it's [[EP111|earlier battle]] with Drake's {{p|Onix}} and commands a {{m|Hydro Pump}}, but it is countered by Dragonite's {{m|Water Gun}}. Squirtle is sent flying and then Dragonite uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Squirtle is luckily able to use {{m|Withdraw}} in time, but is still badly hurt. Drake commands a {{m|Body Slam}}, and Dragonite flies into the air and starts to descend. Ash tells Squirtle to use {{m|Bubble}}, and the attack hits dead on, causing the Body Slam to fail, but instead upon landing Dragonite uses {{m|Tail Whip}} on Squirtle hard, knocking it out.  
With Team Rocket out of the way, the battle continues. Ash sends out the worn-out Tauros against Dragonite. Drake commands Dragonite to fly up with {{m|Agility}}, followed by a Body Slam. Ash suddenly gets an idea and tells Tauros to take the hit, surprising Drake. The Body Slam hits, but doesn't have the intended effect. Using the sand on the battlefield to absorb the impact, Tauros has caught Dragonite in his horns. Tauros throws Dragonite into the air and it lands hard on the ground. Dragonite gets up and hits Tauros with Thunder, knocking the exhausted Pokémon out.


Out of nowhere, [[Team Rocket]] appears in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]] and tosses a net at Drake's Dragonite, trapping the dragon! After Team Rocket says their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]], Drake grows furious with Team Rocket interrupting the match and commands Dragonite to send the bad guys blasting off again.
Ash is left with Pikachu, who still has damage from his early squabble with Drake's {{p|Ditto}}. Pikachu starts off with Agility, but is knocked into the air by Dragonite's tail. Dragonite gets ready to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Pikachu uses his tail as a springboard to dodge the attack at the last moment. Dragonite is [[Recharge|unable to move]] after using Hyper Beam, allowing Pikachu to land on its head. Dragonite tries to shake him off, but Pikachu holds on to its antennae, and the battles with Ash's other Pokémon have left it quite exhausted. At Ash's command, Pikachu shocks Dragonite with a close-range Thunder, lighting up the whole stadium. Dragonite and Pikachu are left exhausted and, after staring each other down, Dragonite falls to the ground, defeated. The [[Pummelo Stadium]] erupts in cheers as the undefeated Drake finally meets his match.


With Team Rocket out of the way, the battle continues. With only two Pokémon left, Ash decides to send out Tauros against Dragonite. Tauros is still tired from its fight with Venusaur but it's ready to battle. Drake commands a Fly, followed by a Body Slam. Ash tells Tauros to take the hit, surprising Drake. The Body Slam hits, but doesn't have the intended effect. Using the sand on the battlefield to absorb the impact, Tauros has caught Dragonite in its horns. Tauros then throws Dragonite hard into the ground. Dragonite gets up and hits Tauros with a {{m|Thunder}}, knocking the exhausted Pokémon out.  
Ash makes his way over to the podium with his Pokémon behind him. Drake gives Ash the coveted [[Orange League]] [[Winner's Trophy]] and congratulates him on the win. Along with Ash receiving the trophy, Ash, Pikachu, Squirtle, Tauros, Lapras, Bulbasaur, and Charizard are given the honor of being inducted into the [[Palace of Victory|Orange League Hall of Fame]], with their [[footprint]]s and Ash's hand-print immortalized in concrete, and a group photo taken to commemorate the victory. Ash is left ecstatic by this and hopes to tell {{an|Brock}} about his win.


Pikachu is Ash's last chance. The electric mouse hops into the stage ready to fight! Dragonite stares down Pikachu, unafraid but panting heavily (it is obviously worn down from defeating the rest of Ash's [[party|team]]). Pikachu starts things off with an {{m|Agility}}, but is knocked into the air by Dragonite. Dragonite gets ready to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Pikachu uses its tail to dodge the attack! After Pikachu lands on Dragonite's head, Ash tells Pikachu to use Thunder and Pikachu does so. Dragonite and Pikachu are exhausted after the battle, and after a staring contest, Drake's Dragonite falls to the ground, defeated!

* This episode's dub title is a reference to the movie, {{wp|Enter the Dragon}}.
* This episode's English [[dub]] title is a reference to the 1973 martial arts action film ''{{wp|Enter the Dragon}}''. This was also used for the English dub title of [[SM139|a future episode]]. Coincidentally, both episodes feature Ash winning a Pokémon League.

* [[Jessie]] [[breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by acknowledging the existence of a split screen featuring {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} and pushing it away.
* Drake's Dragonite uses a total of nine different moves over the course of the battle; in the games, Pokémon may only know four at a time.
* {{p|Electabuzz}} is the only Pokémon that was defeated in this [[Full Battle]] to get the swirly eyes usually associated with [[fainting|fainted]] Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
=== Errors ===
* This episode was partially adapted into the book [[Thundershock in Pummelo Stadium]].
* When Ash returned his Lapras into its Poké Ball, Lapras's lower jaw is blue.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 8: Dragon'' copy of [[Pokémon Elements]].
* While a Full Battle was first seen in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]'', this episode and ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'' were the first to feature a Full Battle in its entirety where all six of each Trainer's Pokémon were revealed and each of its rounds was fully showcased.
* This is the first time in the anime that a Pokémon had to [[recharge]] after using {{m|Hyper Beam}}, like in the {{pkmn|games}}.
* Music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' is used in this episode.

===Errors===
* When {{AP|Lapras}} is defeated, its underside is colored blue instead of cream. This also occurs with its lower jaw when Ash recalls it.
* In the English dub, when Ash is deciding what Pokémon he will to battle Drake's {{p|Venusaur}} with, he considers using Lapras despite it having already fainted.
* When {{AP|Tauros}} is holding {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} by his horns, Dragonite's belly is shown face down. Moments later, Dragonite is shown face up.
* When Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}}, the announcer says that it is the only fully evolved Pokémon on Ash's team. This is false, as Tauros and Lapras, who do not evolve, are considered fully evolved.

===Dub edits===
* [[Pikachu's Jukebox]]: {{so|Viridian City}}
* The announcer's comment about Ash being the challenger to have beaten three of Drake's Pokémon in a row is dub-only.
* Drake is incorrectly referred to as a {{pkmn|Champion}} instead of a [[Gym Leader]] in the dub.
* In the original version, Drake figures that he might need to use Dragonite against Ash and mentions its name while looking at its statue. In the dubbed version, he instead says that Dragonite is the only strategy he needs to win, without bringing up the Pokémon's name.
* In the Japanese version, {{Tracey}} acknowledges that Tauros has taken [[recoil]] damage from using {{m|Take Down}}. In the dub, he simply acknowledges that Tauros is getting worn out, without mentioning the recoil.
* Charizard's {{m|Fire Spin}} is referred to as {{m|Ember}} in the dub.
* Drake's comment about Charizard's [[level]] is given an echo effect to indicate internal dialogue in the dub.
* The announcer mistakenly refers to Dragonite as a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
* Tracey originally comments on Dragonite's expression changing instead of it looking tough.
* Squirtle's {{m|Bubble Beam}} is referred to as {{m|Bubble}} in the dub.
* When Ash interrupts Team Rocket's {{motto}}, the music originally cuts out for a second. In the dub, the music isn't interrupted.
* In the original version, Drake tells Dragonite to use {{m|Skull Bash}} to send Team Rocket blasting off. In the dub, he just says, "You know what to do."
* In the original Japanese version, when Dragonite attacks Tauros, Drake tells it to use {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Body Slam}}. In the dub, Drake only tells Dragonite to use the latter move.
* The announcer's comment about {{m|Hyper Beam}}'s [[recharge]] drawback is replaced with a pun in the dub.
* Tracey and {{an|Misty}} saying Ash has to act fast was originally them wondering what Ash should do.
* Just before the "To Be Continued" shot at the end of the episode, an image of Ash posing with the [[Winner's Trophy]] appears in the middle of the screen. In the Japanese version, this image shrinks away when Ash finishes talking and the "To Be Continued" text appears on the screen, but in the dub, it does not. However, the sound effect of the image shrinking away can still be heard in the dub.
* Ash mentions looking forward to telling {{an|Brock}} in his final line of the episode in the dub. In the original version, he simply tells the audience he is now considered an "honored Trainer".

Blurb

As if a gym battle with a Dragonite isn't challenge enough for one day, Team Rocket secretly surveys the weakened state of Ash's battling Pokémon and plots to turn the situation to their advantage.

Plot

Following the explosion caused by a collision of their respective Ice Beam and Night Shade attacks, both Lapras and Gengar are revealed to have fainted. Ash and Drake recall their Pokémon, and with three of Drake's Pokémon defeated, the field changes. The announcer remarks how Ash is the first Trainer to knock out three of Drake's Pokémon in a row. In the stands, Team Rocket reaffirm their plan to capture Drake's Dragonite once it's been weakened.

After the field changes into a desert field, Drake calls out his Venusaur and Ash uses Tauros again. Ash tries to start things off with Fissure, but it doesn't work because the sand on the field absorbs the attack. Drake tells Venusaur to use Solar Beam. Hoping to cause damage before the Solar Beam is charged, Ash tells Tauros to use Take Down, but the sandy field doesn't allow him to gain any traction. In a last-ditch effort, Ash has Tauros send Venusaur flying. Venusaur is sent soaring into the air, but it manages to turn itself in midair and releases its Solar Beam directly on Tauros. Unexpectedly, Tauros isn't defeated and the Solar Beam actually freed him from the sand. Venusaur then launches a barrage of Vine Whips, a few of which hit Tauros. The Wild Bull Pokémon powers through the onslaught and hits Venusaur with a powerful Take Down attack, defeating it.

Drake recalls Venusaur and sends out an Electabuzz. Seeing that Tauros is starting to get tired, with the recoil from Take Down not helping the matter, Ash recalls his Pokémon and sends out Bulbasaur. Drake has Electabuzz to use Thunder Shock, but Bulbasaur's type advantage leaves it unfazed and it counters with a Razor Leaf flurry. Electabuzz is hit by a few of the leaves, but then deflects the remaining ones with Thunderbolt. Drake has Electabuzz use Thunder Punch, while Ash has Bulbasaur use Tackle. Bulbasaur lands its attack, but is then defeated by Electabuzz's Thunder Punch. Ash promptly sends out Charizard, whom the announcer identifies as the only fully evolved Pokémon in the young Trainer's team. Electabuzz uses a combination of Thunder Punch and Thunder to deal big damage, but Charizard counterattacks with Fire Spin. Electabuzz attempts to follow up with Thunderbolt, but Charizard grabs it and uses Seismic Toss, defeating it. With only one Pokémon left, Drake removes the Poké Ball from his necklace and sends out his undefeated Dragonite.

Charizard uses Flamethrower, but Dragonite counters with Water Gun, which negates the attack and strikes Charizard with the super-effective move. Charizard takes flight, and Dragonite quickly follows. Dragonite uses Ice Beam, hitting Charizard's wing and sending him into a free-fall. Charizard quickly recovers and goes in for a Seismic Toss, but Dragonite maneuvers away and turns the move around by grabbing Charizard by the neck. Dragonite then uses Slam, and Charizard is sent crashing into the ground. Though weakened considerably, Charizard gets back on his feet. Ash orders Charizard to use Dragon Rage, and Drake commands Dragonite to do the same. Both attacks collide, and the two Pokémon are sent flying back. While Dragonite is left dazed, the attack causes Charizard to faint. Ash recalls Charizard, thanking him for still wearing Dragonite down.

Knowing none of his Pokémon are on the same level as Dragonite, Ash decides they will have to work together to take it out. He sends out Squirtle, who is still tired from its earlier battle with Drake's Onix. Squirtle starts off with Hydro Pump, but it is knocked to the ground by Dragonite's Water Gun. It then uses Thunderbolt, but Squirtle Withdraws in time to escape the majority of the damage. Drake commands a Body Slam, and Dragonite flies into the air and starts to descend. Ash has Squirtle use Bubble Beam, and the attack hits dead on, causing the Body Slam to fail; upon landing, however, Dragonite slams its tail into Squirtle hard, knocking it out. Despite the victory, Dragonite continues to lose energy.

Seizing this chance, Team Rocket appears in their Meowth Balloon and tosses a net onto Dragonite. After saying their motto, the trio thanks Ash for assisting them with their scheme. As Drake grows furious with Team Rocket for interrupting the competition, Dragonite breaks the net with its large wings and pops Team Rocket's balloon with Skull Bash, sending them blasting off again.

With Team Rocket out of the way, the battle continues. Ash sends out the worn-out Tauros against Dragonite. Drake commands Dragonite to fly up with Agility, followed by a Body Slam. Ash suddenly gets an idea and tells Tauros to take the hit, surprising Drake. The Body Slam hits, but doesn't have the intended effect. Using the sand on the battlefield to absorb the impact, Tauros has caught Dragonite in his horns. Tauros throws Dragonite into the air and it lands hard on the ground. Dragonite gets up and hits Tauros with Thunder, knocking the exhausted Pokémon out.

Ash is left with Pikachu, who still has damage from his early squabble with Drake's Ditto. Pikachu starts off with Agility, but is knocked into the air by Dragonite's tail. Dragonite gets ready to use Hyper Beam, but Pikachu uses his tail as a springboard to dodge the attack at the last moment. Dragonite is unable to move after using Hyper Beam, allowing Pikachu to land on its head. Dragonite tries to shake him off, but Pikachu holds on to its antennae, and the battles with Ash's other Pokémon have left it quite exhausted. At Ash's command, Pikachu shocks Dragonite with a close-range Thunder, lighting up the whole stadium. Dragonite and Pikachu are left exhausted and, after staring each other down, Dragonite falls to the ground, defeated. The Pummelo Stadium erupts in cheers as the undefeated Drake finally meets his match.

Ash makes his way over to the podium with his Pokémon behind him. Drake gives Ash the coveted Orange League Winner's Trophy and congratulates him on the win. Along with Ash receiving the trophy, Ash, Pikachu, Squirtle, Tauros, Lapras, Bulbasaur, and Charizard are given the honor of being inducted into the Orange League Hall of Fame, with their footprints and Ash's hand-print immortalized in concrete, and a group photo taken to commemorate the victory. Ash is left ecstatic by this and hopes to tell Brock about his win.

Trivia

Errors

  • When Lapras is defeated, its underside is colored blue instead of cream. This also occurs with its lower jaw when Ash recalls it.
  • In the English dub, when Ash is deciding what Pokémon he will to battle Drake's Venusaur with, he considers using Lapras despite it having already fainted.
  • When Tauros is holding Dragonite by his horns, Dragonite's belly is shown face down. Moments later, Dragonite is shown face up.
  • When Ash sends out Charizard, the announcer says that it is the only fully evolved Pokémon on Ash's team. This is false, as Tauros and Lapras, who do not evolve, are considered fully evolved.

Dub edits

  • Pikachu's Jukebox: Viridian City
  • The announcer's comment about Ash being the challenger to have beaten three of Drake's Pokémon in a row is dub-only.
  • Drake is incorrectly referred to as a Champion instead of a Gym Leader in the dub.
  • In the original version, Drake figures that he might need to use Dragonite against Ash and mentions its name while looking at its statue. In the dubbed version, he instead says that Dragonite is the only strategy he needs to win, without bringing up the Pokémon's name.
  • In the Japanese version, Tracey acknowledges that Tauros has taken recoil damage from using Take Down. In the dub, he simply acknowledges that Tauros is getting worn out, without mentioning the recoil.
  • Charizard's Fire Spin is referred to as Ember in the dub.
  • Drake's comment about Charizard's level is given an echo effect to indicate internal dialogue in the dub.
  • The announcer mistakenly refers to Dragonite as a Legendary Pokémon.
  • Tracey originally comments on Dragonite's expression changing instead of it looking tough.
  • Squirtle's Bubble Beam is referred to as Bubble in the dub.
  • When Ash interrupts Team Rocket's motto, the music originally cuts out for a second. In the dub, the music isn't interrupted.
  • In the original version, Drake tells Dragonite to use Skull Bash to send Team Rocket blasting off. In the dub, he just says, "You know what to do."
  • In the original Japanese version, when Dragonite attacks Tauros, Drake tells it to use Agility and Body Slam. In the dub, Drake only tells Dragonite to use the latter move.
  • The announcer's comment about Hyper Beam's recharge drawback is replaced with a pun in the dub.
  • Tracey and Misty saying Ash has to act fast was originally them wondering what Ash should do.
  • Just before the "To Be Continued" shot at the end of the episode, an image of Ash posing with the Winner's Trophy appears in the middle of the screen. In the Japanese version, this image shrinks away when Ash finishes talking and the "To Be Continued" text appears on the screen, but in the dub, it does not. However, the sound effect of the image shrinking away can still be heard in the dub.
  • Ash mentions looking forward to telling Brock in his final line of the episode in the dub. In the original version, he simply tells the audience he is now considered an "honored Trainer".
