Ash in “Battling as Hard as Stone!”

[in his mind] Paul, my battle with you is already paying off. [flashes back to Ash's Gengar's battle with Paul's Metagross] Closing in with Agility then using Psychic. I had a feeling you knew how Steven would battle, then you helped me train for it. [At home, Paul smiles at Ash's performance, as if to say, "He knows what he's doing."]
