The second challenge is a battle against a tough opponent - a trainer who has won the trials multiple times before. Ash faces off against him and manages to win, earning himself a coveted "Tough Guy" bandana.
The third challenge involves navigating a maze filled with traps and obstacles. Ash and his friends work together to make their way through the maze, encountering various Pokémon along the way. They eventually reach the end and are congratulated on their teamwork and problem-solving skills.
The final challenge is a gauntlet of battles against various trainers, each one tougher than the last. Ash and his friends face off against some of the strongest trainers on the island, each one pushing themselves and their Pokémon to the limit.
In the end, Ash manages to emerge victorious, winning the Tough Guy Trials and earning the respect of the local trainers. He is hailed as a true tough guy and gains a new sense of confidence in his abilities as a trainer. The episode ends with Ash and his friends setting off on their next adventure, eager for whatever challenges lie ahead.
