Ash trains with Tepig and Oshawott at the Nacrene City Battle Club,  trying to teach them more powerful moves. After successfully teaching  them Flame Charge and Aqua Jet, he challenges Lenora for the Basic Badge  once more. However, Lenora's Lillipup has evolved into a Herdier since  the last fight. Ash sends out Tepig against Herdier, once more, and he  is able to hold his own against the powerful Pokémon until Herdier uses  Roar to force Oshawott out again. Just like before, Lenora switches to  Watchog and traps Oshawott with Mean Look. Oshawott uses Aqua Jet  against Watchog, but misses, and is then struck by Confuse Ray.  Confused, Oshawott is unable to attack and Watchog uses Thunderbolt, but  Oshawott is now able to withstand the attack. He uses Aqua Jet, again,  as Watchog uses Thunderbolt, once more, knocking out both of them.  Lenora sends out Herdier again as Ash sends out Tepig. With the training  from the Battle Club, Tepig is able to dodge Herdier's Shadow Ball  attacks, until Lenora commands Herdier to use Giga Impact. Ash has Tepig  use his Flame Charge, and after the two attacks collide, Tepig is the  only one standing, winning the match. Lenora awards Ash the Basic Badge  for defeating her, and after Ash heads to the Pokémon Center, he learns  that the next Gym is in Castelia City.
