Stephan's Blitzle battled Ash's Oshawott in a field near Raimon City. Stephan initially was surprised that Ash Ketchum used a Water type against his Blitzle which is an Electric type but he soon realized that Ash's Oshawott uses it's Scallsword as a defense to reflect electric attacks. Stephan's Blitzle used other attacks to counter Ash's Oshawott's electric defense and its Double Kick managed to knock Ash's Oshawott's Scallsword out of its hands and far away into the forest. Ash's Oshawott quickly stopped the battle to go after its Scallsword.
