Continuing from the previous episode, Ash has offered Chimchar a spot on his team, and Chimchar, having seen how kind Ash is to his Pokémon, gladly accepts. The next day, Ash and Paul battle in the third round against Brock and Holly, with Chimchar sitting out to rest and recover, but also observe the battle. The two of them then battle against Dawn and Conway in the finals, with Chimchar and Elekid facing Dawn's Buizel and Conway's Heracross. Although Conway manages to get the jump on them using Feint to smash through Elekid's Protect, Chimchar and Elekid are still going strong and things get better for them when Elekid suddenly evolves into Electabuzz. They continue their onslaught and defeat Buizel and Heracross, making Ash and Paul the winners of the tournament. Although Paul is still cold and cruel, Ash and Chimchar are happy with how things ended.
