1. Come on.
Focus Energy!Copy !req
2. Get Chimchar out of there.Copy !req
3. Ha.Copy !req
4. Huh?Copy !req
5. I was waiting
for this.Copy !req
6. For what?
Pika?Copy !req
7. There it is, guys.
It's Oreburgh City.Copy !req
8. Pikachu!Copy !req
9. Sure looks like a great place to
have your first Sinnoh battle.Copy !req
10. Also a great place to get my
first badge.Copy !req
11. What do you say?
Pika, Pika!Copy !req
12. Our heroes' arduous trek
over an impossibly steep mountainCopy !req
13. has ended in joyous excitement
all around.Copy !req
14. Now, with energy to spare,Copy !req
15. they're headed for the next
important stop, the Oreburgh Gym.Copy !req
16. Just look at this place.Copy !req
17. Sure doesn't look like the kind
of gym you'd challengeCopy !req
18. unless you were serious about it.Copy !req
19. Yeah? Well, then, that's for me.Copy !req
20. Pika!Copy !req
21. Ah! Huh?Copy !req
22. Whoa, it's Paul.Copy !req
23. Do I know you?Copy !req
24. Paul, these friends of yours?Copy !req
25. No way.Copy !req
26. You must have just fought a battle.
Get a badge?Copy !req
27. Hey, that's none of your business.Copy !req
28. Paul?Copy !req
29. I'll bet you're here for a battle,
too?Copy !req
30. Yeah.Copy !req
31. My name is Ash
and I'm from Pallet Town.Copy !req
32. This will be my first battle
in Sinnoh.Copy !req
33. It's great to be here.Copy !req
34. Pikachu.Copy !req
35. Say, that's quite a long trip all
the way from Kanto.Copy !req
36. Welcome to the temple for
Rock Pokemon,Copy !req
37. the Oreburgh Gym.Copy !req
38. You mean this gym
is for Rock Pokemon?Copy !req
39. Duh...Copy !req
40. You got it. And our
Gym Leader's name is Roark.Copy !req
41. Wait, then that means you must not
be the Gym Leader.Copy !req
42. I take care of the Pokemon here.Copy !req
43. The name is Ian and Roark is not
here right at the moment.Copy !req
44. I'm sure you will be able
to have a battle with RoarkCopy !req
45. as soon as Paul is finished with
his.Copy !req
46. Sounds great. Thanks.Copy !req
47. So, until Roark gets back,
I'll be at the Pokemon Center.Copy !req
48. Hey, Paul,
let's both give all we've got.Copy !req
49. Hm. Huh?Copy !req
50. Hm.Copy !req
51. What is with that guy?Copy !req
52. Pika.Copy !req
53. Here's your Sinnoh region
badge case.Copy !req
54. Wow, thank you, Ian.Copy !req
55. Now, if you win eight badges,Copy !req
56. you can compete
in the Sinnoh League.Copy !req
57. Good luck, Ash.Copy !req
58. Thanks.
Pika.Copy !req
59. Hey, Ian, do you mind
if I ask where Roark is?Copy !req
60. He's coal-mining.
Coal-mining?Copy !req
61. Makes sense to me.Copy !req
62. That's got to be where Oreburgh
City gets its name.Copy !req
63. I've heard Oreburgh City has some
of the richest coal ore anywhere.Copy !req
64. And while Roark digs for coal,Copy !req
65. he's exploring for hidden treasure.Copy !req
66. Hidden treasure?Copy !req
67. ♪ Listen, is that big money
calling from below?Copy !req
68. ♪ The sound of success tells
me soCopy !req
69. ♪ Make some dough.Copy !req
70. Wobb-uh!Copy !req
71. This work hard and provide,Copy !req
72. another day, another dollar stuffCopy !req
73. may work for you
but, for me, it stinks!Copy !req
74. Wobb-uh!Copy !req
75. Excuse me.
Pika.Copy !req
76. Hm?Copy !req
77. Twerps?Copy !req
78. What?Copy !req
79. Look at that.Copy !req
80. It's the erp-twe
and all of his little end-fris.Copy !req
81. Gee, I wonder what they
ant-way?Copy !req
82. We heard that Roark, the Oreburgh
Gym Leader was here. Is that true?Copy !req
83. Roark?Copy !req
84. Huh?Copy !req
85. Easy, now.
Don't worry.Copy !req
86. OK, you can leave her right there.Copy !req
87. OK, Roark.Copy !req
88. Did he say "Roark"?Copy !req
89. Then, that's him!Copy !req
90. Ah.Copy !req
91. Huh.Copy !req
92. Welcome, from your sanctuary,
to mine.Copy !req
93. Excuse me, Mr Roark?Copy !req
94. Just a moment. I'm having a talk
with this Fossil right now.Copy !req
95. You talk to Fossils?Copy !req
96. I sure do,
and right now it's telling meCopy !req
97. all about the good old days.Copy !req
98. I can still feel its warmth.
Its breath.Copy !req
99. One day I know you'll come back to
life. You can be sure of it.Copy !req
100. Huh?
Pika?Copy !req
101. Back to life?Copy !req
102. All right, let's get it to
the museum.Copy !req
103. OK? We got it.Copy !req
104. What were you saying?Copy !req
105. I've come to the
Oreburgh Gym for a battle.Copy !req
106. But someone's ahead of us.Copy !req
107. Well, what do you know?Copy !req
108. I've got two challengers
waiting for me.Copy !req
109. You know, Ian told us
when you dig for coal,Copy !req
110. you're looking for treasure, too.Copy !req
111. Treasure, huh?Copy !req
112. Of course.Copy !req
113. That Fossil...Copy !req
114. True.Copy !req
115. A lot of Pokemon Fossils turn
up while coal mining.Copy !req
116. I really enjoy my work as a foreman
for the miners.Copy !req
117. You're the foreman?Copy !req
118. Hello.Copy !req
119. Sorry for butting in like this...Copy !req
120. .. but did he refer to Fossils
coming back to life?Copy !req
121. Oh, yes. Ian was speaking
of an incredible machine.Copy !req
122. It resurrects ancient Pokemon
Fossils and it's just great.Copy !req
123. Stealing that machine is what
I'm talking about.Copy !req
124. It is right up our evil alley.Copy !req
125. And no more dog digging!Copy !req
126. Wobb-uh!Copy !req
127. Welcome back, Roark.
How was the treasure hunt?Copy !req
128. We've really discovered
something this time.Copy !req
129. This may just be the best
Fossil yet.Copy !req
130. Oh, there's Paul.
He's your first Challenger.Copy !req
131. Huh?Copy !req
132. Hm.Copy !req
133. Hm.Copy !req
134. Hm?Copy !req
135. I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
I'm Roark, the Gym Leader.Copy !req
136. Nice to meet you.
The same here.Copy !req
137. So, why don't
we get started, then?Copy !req
138. Can't wait to see a Gym Battle?Copy !req
139. Huh?Copy !req
140. You've never seen one?Copy !req
141. No, and I want to learn
everything about them I can.Copy !req
142. Well, then, that's fine with me.Copy !req
143. Hey, Paul? How about you?Copy !req
144. No prob.Copy !req
145. I really couldn't care less.Copy !req
146. You can be sure I'll be watching
you guys battle.Copy !req
147. Pika!Copy !req
148. Awesome!
So this is what it's like in a gym.Copy !req
149. When it comes to battlefields, there
are all sorts of different types.Copy !req
150. Now, of course this gym is
a Rock-type gym,Copy !req
151. so it's set-up to battle with
Rock-type Pokemon in mind.Copy !req
152. The Oreburgh City Gym Battle
between Paul, the Challenger,Copy !req
153. and Roark, the Gym Leader,
is about to get under way.Copy !req
154. The battle will be three-on-three,Copy !req
155. and as soon as all three Pokemon on
either side are unable to continue,Copy !req
156. the challenge is over.Copy !req
157. In addition, only the Challenger
may substitute Pokemon.Copy !req
158. Now, let the battle begin.Copy !req
159. Geodude, let's go!Copy !req
160. Geodude!Copy !req
161. Oh, wow, it's a Geodude!Copy !req
162. Geodude.
The Rock Pokemon.Copy !req
163. Geodude is often found on mountain
roads with half of its bodyCopy !req
164. buried in the ground, so it can
observe mountain travellers.Copy !req
165. Azumarill, standby!Copy !req
166. Azumarill.Copy !req
167. Wow, so Paul is using the Water-type
Pokemon.Copy !req
168. Azumarill,
the Aqua Rabbit Pokemon.Copy !req
169. Azumarill lives in rivers and lakes,Copy !req
170. and while in water, its body colour
and pattern confuses its enemies.Copy !req
171. Since Water-type moves are
really powerful againstCopy !req
172. Rock-type Pokemon,
Azumarill's a smart choice.Copy !req
173. Then, Paul's got the upper hand,
right?Copy !req
174. I guess. In theory, anyway.Copy !req
175. In theory?
Huh?Copy !req
176. Paul, you have the honour.Copy !req
177. Azumarill, Hydro Pump! Go!Copy !req
178. Azu...Copy !req
179. Geodude, Hidden Power.Copy !req
180. Geo...Copy !req
181. .. dude!Copy !req
182. Azumarill!Copy !req
183. Oh!
It beat back that Hydro Pump!Copy !req
184. And that was a Water-type move, too.Copy !req
185. All right, Geodude, Rollout.Copy !req
186. Water Gun, Azumarill.Copy !req
187. Azu...Copy !req
188. Zu...Copy !req
189. Not giving his Challenger any
time for counterattacks is howCopy !req
190. Roark keeps up the pressure.Copy !req
191. Zu...Copy !req
192. What?Copy !req
193. Azumarill is unable
to battle. Geodude wins.Copy !req
194. A Water-type Pokemon just
lost to a Rock-type.Copy !req
195. Every time Geodude's Rollout hits,
it just keeps getting stronger.Copy !req
196. But even so, getting a knockout
on just the second attack?Copy !req
197. Now I understand what
you meant before when you saidCopy !req
198. Paul's upper-hand was in theory.Copy !req
199. Good for nothing.Copy !req
200. The creep.
Pika.Copy !req
201. Now, Elekid, standby.Copy !req
202. Elekid.Copy !req
203. I'm sure Paul knows full well
that Geodude is a Ground-typeCopy !req
204. and also that Elekid's Electric-type
moves won't work very well at all.Copy !req
205. So I wonder what he's got
up his sleeve.Copy !req
206. Now, Elekid,
Brick Break.Copy !req
207. Clever, they're using a
Fighting-type move.Copy !req
208. But we are still going to stick
with using Rollout.Copy !req
209. Geodude.Copy !req
210. Geo.Copy !req
211. Geodude is unable to battle.
Elekid wins.Copy !req
212. And they did it with just one hit.Copy !req
213. But how? I thought
Elekid was at a huge disadvantage?Copy !req
214. See, that goes to show that
you can overcome just about anyCopy !req
215. disadvantage by using
the right moves.Copy !req
216. Geodude, return.Copy !req
217. Thanks a lot, good friend.Copy !req
218. Onix, you're up next.Copy !req
219. He's going to use Onix!Copy !req
220. It's huge!Copy !req
221. Onix, the rock snake
Pokemon.Copy !req
222. It tunnels to the ground,
which shakesCopy !req
223. when it raises its thunderous roar.Copy !req
224. It can move through
the ground at 50mph.Copy !req
225. This Onix can do it.
How do you know?Copy !req
226. Because I raised one myself.Copy !req
227. And I can tell just by looking
at it that this Onix has alreadyCopy !req
228. been through some very tough
battles.Copy !req
229. I'll be staying with my Elekid.Copy !req
230. Fine. Since I've already
seen your Brick Break,Copy !req
231. I wonder how well you'll do now?Copy !req
232. Quick, Elekid, Brick Break.Copy !req
233. Dodge, Onix.Copy !req
234. Pika.
That's fast!Copy !req
235. How can something so big move
so quickly?Copy !req
236. Now use Slam, Onix.Copy !req
237. Protect.Copy !req
238. Double Edge, let's go.Copy !req
239. Whoa, Onix caught Elekid right when
its protective barrier went down.Copy !req
240. Yeah, Dawn, you're right.Copy !req
241. But Onix got hurt when it
counter-attacked that Double Edge.Copy !req
242. But Onix looks just fine to me.Copy !req
243. That's cos Onix can use Rock Head.Copy !req
244. Rock Head's a Special Ability.Copy !req
245. It takes moves that would normally
cause recoil damageCopy !req
246. and completely prevents
it from ever taking place.Copy !req
247. Wow.Copy !req
248. Stay strong, or else.Copy !req
249. Stealth Rock, go!Copy !req
250. Elekid, lookout!Copy !req
251. Did he say Stealth Rock?Copy !req
252. What kind of move is that?
Pika.Copy !req
253. Stealth Rock causes damage to
Pokemon that appearCopy !req
254. later in the battle.Copy !req
255. It has no effect at all on Pokemon
currently out there.Copy !req
256. You mean,
if Paul decides to call Elekid backCopy !req
257. and choose another Pokemon,Copy !req
258. then that Pokemon
will take all the damage?Copy !req
259. Right. It looks like Roark is taking
care of Paul's substitutionsCopy !req
260. before they happen, making things
that much trickier for Paul.Copy !req
261. If you were going to exchange
Pokemon,Copy !req
262. you should have done it earlier.Copy !req
263. Slam, Onix. Let's go!Copy !req
264. Uh-oh.Copy !req
265. Hey, what's
wrong with Onix?Copy !req
266. It's called Static.Copy !req
267. A Special Ability of
Elekid's.Copy !req
268. How does it work?Copy !req
269. When Elekid made physical contact,
Onix became paralysed.Copy !req
270. Brick Break, Elekid, Now!Copy !req
271. Double Edge, Onix!Copy !req
272. Pika!Copy !req
273. Don't get too comfortable
with Static.Copy !req
274. Sometimes moves can be used even
when paralysed.Copy !req
275. I'm impressed, Elekid's
a resilient Pokemon.Copy !req
276. Hm.Copy !req
277. Now, Elekid, return.Copy !req
278. Wow, what's Paul doing?Copy !req
279. I guess he really doesn't
care about the Stealth Rock.Copy !req
280. Yeah, he doesn't care
if his next Pokemon get hurt or not.Copy !req
281. Now, Chimchar, standby.Copy !req
282. Chimchar!Copy !req
283. Chimchar!Copy !req
284. Chim, chim, chim...Copy !req
285. A Fire-type next, eh?Copy !req
286. Impressive the way you come at meCopy !req
287. with Pokemon that aren't considered
very good matchups.Copy !req
288. Chimchar, use Dig.Copy !req
289. Try to sense where Chimchar is
moving, Onix.Copy !req
290. Ah!
Ah!Copy !req
291. Making a huge Onix
jump like that is no small feat.Copy !req
292. Using Dig should have a
powerful effect on Onix as well.Copy !req
293. So that's why Paul had Chimchar
learn Dig.Copy !req
294. Awesome strategy.Copy !req
295. Now use Double Edge!Copy !req
296. Chimchar, use Dig one more time.Copy !req
297. Onix, stand still.Copy !req
298. Just feel Chimchar's movements.Copy !req
299. When will that Static wear off?Copy !req
300. Chimchar, do it!Copy !req
301. Onix is unable to battle.Copy !req
302. Chimchar wins.Copy !req
303. Not bad, Chimchar.Copy !req
304. Onix, return.Copy !req
305. You were great.
Take a nice long rest.Copy !req
306. Well, Paul, you're giving me
quite a run for my money.Copy !req
307. It's time to bring out my final
Pokemon. I suggest you get ready.Copy !req
308. Cranidos, let's go!Copy !req
309. Cranidos.Copy !req
310. Cranidos looks just like that
Fossil.Copy !req
311. Cranidos,
the Head Butt Pokemon.Copy !req
312. Cranidos lived in the deep
woods about 100 million years ago,Copy !req
313. and its cranium is as hard as steel.Copy !req
314. Roark, I can read you like a book.Copy !req
315. Chimchar, use Dig!Copy !req
316. Chim!Copy !req
317. Cranidos, Headbutt, now!Copy !req
318. Crani...Copy !req
319. Chim, chim, chim...Copy !req
320. .. chim!Copy !req
321. Crani!Copy !req
322. What a hit! Cranidos was
anticipating Chimchar's movements.Copy !req
323. Chimchar, use Dig one more time.Copy !req
324. Chim!Copy !req
325. Cranidos, Zen Headbutt.Copy !req
326. Cranidos!Copy !req
327. Hey, that's a much stronger move
than Headbutt.Copy !req
328. There's no doubt that Zen
Headbutt's got a lot more powerCopy !req
329. than a normal Headbutt.Copy !req
330. I've heard it can scare
an opponent into flinching.Copy !req
331. Zen Headbutt again.Copy !req
332. Cranidos.Copy !req
333. Quick, Chimchar, use Dig.Copy !req
334. Amazing. Chimchar's so scaredCopy !req
335. that it doesn't hear anything
that Paul says.Copy !req
336. Cranidos!Copy !req
337. Cranidos!Copy !req
338. Come on!
Focus EnergyCopy !req
339. Crani!Copy !req
340. What's going on now, Brock?Copy !req
341. Focus Energy focuses your
attack strengthCopy !req
342. and makes it easier to hit
a weak spot.Copy !req
343. I think Roark is planning to use
one shot to knockout Chimchar.Copy !req
344. You've got to get Chimchar
out of there.Copy !req
345. Char!Copy !req
346. Hah.Copy !req
347. Huh?Copy !req
348. I was waiting for this.Copy !req
349. For what?
Pika!Copy !req
350. Chimchar's using Blaze, watch out!Copy !req
351. Blaze is a Special Ability that
makes Chimchar's Fire-type movesCopy !req
352. must stronger
when its endurance is low.Copy !req
353. But I'm not sure how much
of an effect it will haveCopy !req
354. on a Rock-type like Cranidos.
Char!Copy !req
355. Zen Headbutt, again!Copy !req
356. Cranidos!Copy !req
357. Now, Flame Wheel.Copy !req
358. Chim, chim, chim, chim, chim!Copy !req
359. That's fast.Copy !req
360. Aim for the legs.Copy !req
361. Cran...
Ah!Copy !req
362. Cranidos...Copy !req
363. That Flame Wheel's strong.Copy !req
364. Chimchar's Flame Wheel was so
juiced-up with BlazeCopy !req
365. it was faster than Cranidos was.Copy !req
366. Crani...
Chim!Copy !req
367. Flame Wheel, Chimchar, once more.Copy !req
368. Chim!
Crani!Copy !req
369. Ah!
Pika!Copy !req
370. Chimchar, use Dig, let's go!
Chim!Copy !req
371. Cranidos, Focus Energy, now!Copy !req
372. Crani...Copy !req
373. Char!
.. dos!Copy !req
374. Use Headbutt!Copy !req
375. Crani...Copy !req
376. Dodge it, quick.Copy !req
377. Chimchar is unable to battle.Copy !req
378. Cranidos wins.Copy !req
379. Grr.Copy !req
380. Cranidos, how do you feel?Copy !req
381. Crani.Copy !req
382. Chimchar, I'll deal with you later.Copy !req
383. Elekid, standby.Copy !req
384. Ah!Copy !req
385. That was Stealth Rock again?Copy !req
386. Yep. Once you get used to it,
the effects just keep going.Copy !req
387. Now, use Brick Break.Copy !req
388. Flamethrower!Copy !req
389. Cranidos!Copy !req
390. Crani...Copy !req
391. .. dos!Copy !req
392. What's that? Maybe it
was Static.Copy !req
393. What a hit.
Pika.Copy !req
394. You've just witnessed
Cranidos' Special Ability,Copy !req
395. Mold Breaker,Copy !req
396. ruining your Special Ability.
Crani...Copy !req
397. Ah! Pika.Copy !req
398. Use Zen Headbutt, now!Copy !req
399. Crani...Copy !req
400. Huh?Copy !req
401. .. dos!Copy !req
402. Cranidos is just moving too
slow right now.Copy !req
403. Guess that leg injury was worse
than I thought.Copy !req
404. Brick Break. One more time.Copy !req
405. Crani.Copy !req
406. No more Headbutt, huh?Copy !req
407. I see you don't rely on moves or
types for your strategy.Copy !req
408. You just use what attack style is
best for the moment.Copy !req
409. Cranidos' attack power seems to
be totally dependentCopy !req
410. on the strength of its legs.Copy !req
411. Paul sure looked to me like he was
waitingCopy !req
412. for Chimchar's Blaze to take effect,Copy !req
413. which could explain the way
he used his Pokemon.Copy !req
414. Of course.Copy !req
415. That's why he taught Chimchar to
battle like that.Copy !req
416. Brick Break,
let's go.Copy !req
417. Cranidos, Flamethrower!Copy !req
418. Cranidos!Copy !req
419. Now, Zen Headbutt.Copy !req
420. Crani...Copy !req
421. Elekid, Brick BreakCopy !req
422. Crani!Copy !req
423. Cranidos.Copy !req
424. Crani...Copy !req
425. .. dos!Copy !req
426. Now, brick break again.Copy !req
427. Cranidos, Flamethrower!Copy !req
428. Cranidos!Copy !req
429. Ah!Copy !req
430. Ah!Copy !req
431. Ah!Copy !req
432. Cranidos is unable to battle.Copy !req
433. Elekid wins.Copy !req
434. The victor is Paul.Copy !req
435. Paul did it.
Pika.Copy !req
436. OK, Elekid, return.Copy !req
437. Thanks, Cranidos,
enjoy a nice long rest.Copy !req
438. That was some impressive battling,
Paul.Copy !req
439. And here's your Oreburgh Gym Badge.Copy !req
440. Congratulations, Paul.Copy !req
441. Thank you very much, Roark.Copy !req
442. I'll see you.Copy !req
