Although Paul has only two pokemon left, one of his hasn't even shown up yet, and all of Ash's have taken damage, so Brock says Ash is still at a disadvantage. In film school, this is called “telling your audience that this is still dramatic because you think they’re too stupid to make basic connections on their own.”
Paul sends out Drapion again, and Ash Gliscor. Unfortunately, Gliscor is obviously still very wounded. Ash thinks that, knowing Drapion's battle style, the only way to turn the tables is with Gliscor's air battle training, and tricks Drapion into using cross poison on a stone edge to create an explosion (somehow), and uses the resulting smoke to launch a giga impact, and to avoid being hit while recovering, has Gliscor do that riding the wind thing to stay in the air to avoid Drapion’s powerful melee attacks. The episode ends as Gliscor flies in for another attack.
Actually, a pretty good battle episode, if you can forgive Paul’s psychic ability to predict everything Ash does.
