Falkner sent Dodrio, which made Ash think it would be an easy battle, as Dodrio could not fly.

Ash sent Charizard as his final Pokémon, which made Falkner note the battle would become interesting. Pidgeot used Whirlwind to redirect Charizard's Flamethrower back to Charizard and injured its wing. Falkner advised Ash to give up and surrender, as it was his duty as a trainer to know a Pokémon's limits.
