A Pyramiding Rage!.Candice postponed her battle with Paul to tomorrow to heal her Pokémon. While Paul was training, Pyramod King Brandon appeared, much to everyone's shock. Reggie explained that the Brandon was the only Battle Frontier Brain which he couldn't beat. Paul was then shocked by the fact that Ash was able to beat Brandon before. Then, Paul had a six on six battle with Brandon. Paul used his Nidoking, Lairon, Magmar, Electabuzz, Ursaring and Hariyama. Brandon send out Regirock, Registeel and Regice. During the battle, Reggie revealed to Ash, Dawn, Brock, Zoey and Candice that after he lost to Brandon, Brandon told him that although his battle with him was enjoyable, there was nothing special in his battling style and that he must find his true inner strength. The battle ultimately resulted with Brandon defeating Paul without losing a single Pokémon. He told Paul that while his Pokémon were powerful, he lost because he allowed his emotions to betray him on the battle field. Afterwards Reggie suggests that Ash and Paul have a full battle. They both agree.
