1. Ash and his Pokemon were
smack dab in the middleCopy !req
2. of an intensive special training
regimen, in preparation for hisCopy !req
3. rematch with Roark,
the Oreburgh Gym leader,Copy !req
4. when suddenly the restored ancient
Pokemon AerodactylCopy !req
5. mounted a frenzied assault
on Oreburgh City,Copy !req
6. sending its citizens into a panic.Copy !req
7. But Dawn and her Buneary and Piplup
sprang into actionCopy !req
8. and were able to quell the mayhem,
while providing Ash with someCopy !req
9. valuable clues on formulating
the battle strategy he was seeking.Copy !req
10. Now, knowing he was sure to faceCopy !req
11. Roark's newly-evolved
Rampardos in his upcoming battle,Copy !req
12. will Ash emerge victoriousCopy !req
13. and capture his first
Sinnoh region badge?Copy !req
14. Well, well...
Huh?Copy !req
15. I'd say that spring in your step
portrays some new-found confidence.Copy !req
16. Of course,
after all that hard training,Copy !req
17. you have every right to it.Copy !req
18. Good for you.Copy !req
19. Thanks.Copy !req
20. And today I'm leaving here
with that badge for sure.Copy !req
21. Pika, pika!Copy !req
22. The Gym Battle between Ash
from Pallet Town,Copy !req
23. and Roark, the Oreburgh Gym Leader,Copy !req
24. will now begin.Copy !req
25. Each side will have the use of three
Pokemon and the battle will beCopy !req
26. over when all of either side's
Pokemon are unable to battle.Copy !req
27. In addition, only the challenger is
allowed to make any substitutions.Copy !req
28. Excuse me, Dawn...Copy !req
29. What, Brock?Copy !req
30. I hope you don't mind if I ask,Copy !req
31. but why are you
dressed up like that?Copy !req
32. Oh, this? It's because of
the special training I did with Ash.Copy !req
33. I just have to cheer him on
all the way.Copy !req
34. So, you two ready to
give it all you've got?Copy !req
35. Buneary! Piplup!Copy !req
36. Hey, thanks, Dawn.Copy !req
37. After all, of that,
how could I not win this battle?Copy !req
38. Onix, let's go!Copy !req
39. So, Onix is up first, huh?Copy !req
40. Ready to go, Pikachu?Copy !req
41. Pika.Copy !req
42. Pikachu!Copy !req
43. Then let the battle begin.Copy !req
44. Pikachu, Quick Attack, now!Copy !req
45. Pika!Copy !req
46. Come on! Normal-type attacks aren't
going to cause much damage at all.Copy !req
47. Onix, let's show them. So use Slam.Copy !req
48. I'm not using it to cause damage...Copy !req
49. Huh?Copy !req
50. Pikachu, dodge and
climb onto Onix, now!Copy !req
51. Excellent. He used Quick Attack
to build up speed,Copy !req
52. which helped Pikachu
to climb onto Onix.Copy !req
53. Onix, use Screech. Let's go!Copy !req
54. Hold on tight! Onix, shake it off!Copy !req
55. What's Pikachu going to do? Buneary!Copy !req
56. Pika! You can do it, Pikachu.Copy !req
57. Use Iron Tail
and give it your best shot.Copy !req
58. Pika!Copy !req
59. Right on target.
And a strong hit, too.Copy !req
60. Way to go! Great, Pikachu.Copy !req
61. Pika.Copy !req
62. Pikachu's speed and power
are much sharper than last time.Copy !req
63. It looks like your
special training has paid off.Copy !req
64. See how you like this.Copy !req
65. Quick, Onix, Double Edge.Copy !req
66. Whoa. Let's go, Pikachu.Copy !req
67. Pika!Copy !req
68. Now, spin. Pika!Copy !req
69. Oh!Copy !req
70. Wow, that really worked great.Copy !req
71. Oh, what a dodge. There's
nothing like when a new move works.Copy !req
72. Pika!Copy !req
73. Brilliant, Pikachu's spinning
creates a lot of wind pressure,Copy !req
74. and that acts
just like a dodging cushion.Copy !req
75. And the stronger and faster we are,
the more effective their move is.Copy !req
76. Now, let's finish it with Iron Tail.Copy !req
77. Dodge it!Copy !req
78. Pika! Oh!Copy !req
79. Quick, Onix, use Slam!Copy !req
80. Pika!Copy !req
81. Pikachu, no!Copy !req
82. Pika!Copy !req
83. But... how does Onix move so fast?Copy !req
84. I don't know, but Onix is
a lot faster than last time.Copy !req
85. Ash, in between battlesCopy !req
86. I don't just sit around
and read comic books.Copy !req
87. I've been training with Onix
just as hard as ever.Copy !req
88. You may have dodged Double EdgeCopy !req
89. but there's a lot more to
deal with than that in this gym.Copy !req
90. Ugh. Onix, use Stealth Rock.Copy !req
91. Why would he use Stealth Rock now?Copy !req
92. Remember, Stealth Rock is
a move that causes damage to eachCopy !req
93. new Pokemon that comes out as a sub.Copy !req
94. By using it right now,Copy !req
95. Roark is really ratcheting up
the pressure on Ash.Copy !req
96. Now, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!Copy !req
97. Pika... chu!Copy !req
98. Ah!Copy !req
99. Oh, no!Copy !req
100. Pikachu, finish this up
with Iron Tail!Copy !req
101. Now! Screech, Onix!Copy !req
102. Pika!Copy !req
103. Ah, Onix!Copy !req
104. Pi... Pika.Copy !req
105. Onix can't battle.Copy !req
106. Pikachu wins!Copy !req
107. All right! Pikachu, way to go!
Pikachu.Copy !req
108. Awesome.
Pikachu came through in a big way.Copy !req
109. That pressure just must have
put them over the top.Copy !req
110. Buneary!Copy !req
111. You were great, Onix. Thanks.
Now, you take a nice long rest.Copy !req
112. That was quite an impressive
move you just made.Copy !req
113. It blew back all that debrisCopy !req
114. and pulverised Onix's
Stealth Rock at the same time.Copy !req
115. And I don't need to tell you how
difficult it is to cause OnixCopy !req
116. any damage at all.Copy !req
117. Thanks for the nice words.Copy !req
118. But that's behind us now.Copy !req
119. Geodude, let's go!Copy !req
120. Geodude.Copy !req
121. That Geodude's sure something.Copy !req
122. Pikachu, you take a break.Copy !req
123. Pika.Copy !req
124. Wha...? Why, just when those
two have gotten the momentum?Copy !req
125. Pikachu use up more strength
and energy battling OnixCopy !req
126. than you can see.
Ash made a smart choice. I get it.Copy !req
127. All right, Aipom, I choose you!Copy !req
128. Aipom! Geodude-dude!Copy !req
129. Oh-ho!Copy !req
130. ♪ Listen
Is that a quiet voice I hear?Copy !req
131. ♪ It may not be loud
but it sure is clearCopy !req
132. ♪ And the time for
poaching Pokemon is nearCopy !req
133. Ah! Shh!Copy !req
134. There, that saved time.
Now, let's put it to good use.Copy !req
135. It's all yours.Copy !req
136. Roger.Copy !req
137. Voila.Copy !req
138. Shake it, don't break it.Copy !req
139. You sure nailed that one.Copy !req
140. My built-in lock picker
works every time,Copy !req
141. no matter how dumb your jokes are.Copy !req
142. Now, in we go.Copy !req
143. Anybody home?Copy !req
144. Ah, the warm glow
of an empty hall.Copy !req
145. While they're having
a battle, we're having a ball.Copy !req
146. The longer those twerps
toil on that gym battlefield,Copy !req
147. the better for our stealing skills.Copy !req
148. Pikachu will be
too pooped to prevent usCopy !req
149. from some serious Poke-pilfering.Copy !req
150. Yeah. And don't forget the gym's
like a Pokemon candy store,Copy !req
151. just ripe for robbing.Copy !req
152. Croa...Copy !req
153. OK, gang,
let's do our Aipom cheer.Copy !req
154. Buneary! Piplup!Copy !req
155. Aipom, Swift, now!Copy !req
156. Ai... pom!Copy !req
157. Geodude, Rollout, let's go!Copy !req
158. Double Team!Copy !req
159. Dude!Copy !req
160. Aipom, Focus Punch!Copy !req
161. Ai...!Copy !req
162. Block it!Copy !req
163. Geo... dude!Copy !req
164. Uh-oh!
Geodude blocked the Focus Punch.Copy !req
165. Seismic Toss.Copy !req
166. Geo...Copy !req
167. .. dude!Copy !req
168. No, Aipom!Copy !req
169. Again, Rollout, go!Copy !req
170. Dodge!Copy !req
171. Ah, Aipom too?Copy !req
172. Aipom used that move
as well as Pikachu.Copy !req
173. Excellent. Great speed and timing.Copy !req
174. All right, Aipom...Copy !req
175. .. Focus Punch.Copy !req
176. Ai... pom!Copy !req
177. Dude!Copy !req
178. What happened?Copy !req
179. Geodude...Copy !req
180. Geodude cannot battle.
Aipom wins!Copy !req
181. All right, Aipom! Way to go.Copy !req
182. Pikachu!Copy !req
183. Aipom.Copy !req
184. That's two wins in a row. Yep.Copy !req
185. There's no doubt Ash and his team
are looking really good right now.Copy !req
186. Sudowoodo!Copy !req
187. But...Copy !req
188. Huh?Copy !req
189. .. both Pikachu and Aipom have
got to be feeling exhausted afterCopy !req
190. all that intense battling.Copy !req
191. While it's true Ash
is up 2-0 right now,Copy !req
192. don't forget Roark's last Pokemon.Copy !req
193. Right.Copy !req
194. Ash, most impressive.Copy !req
195. The way you've taken some serious
disadvantages and turned themCopy !req
196. around is worthy of note.
Great strategy indeed.Copy !req
197. But remember, you haven't won
until you've defeatedCopy !req
198. my third Pokemon as well.Copy !req
199. I know. And I'm ready, too.Copy !req
200. Well, time will tell the tale.Copy !req
201. Go, Rampardos!Copy !req
202. Here we go. Time to get busy.Copy !req
203. Aipom, let's keep going!Copy !req
204. Swift, go!Copy !req
205. Ai... pom!Copy !req
206. Huh?Copy !req
207. Why won't Rampardos move?Copy !req
208. Huh?Copy !req
209. It's like nothing happened at all.Copy !req
210. I knew it wouldn't do much damage,Copy !req
211. but Rampardos didn't
even get a scratch.Copy !req
212. Oh, man. How am I going to
get past Rampardos' defence?Copy !req
213. I think now it's our turn.Copy !req
214. Rampardos, use Headbutt.Copy !req
215. Aipom, dodge it.Copy !req
216. Aipom cannot battle.Copy !req
217. Rampardos wins!Copy !req
218. That was some excellent battling,
Rampardos.Copy !req
219. How fast can you get?Copy !req
220. I was sure Rampardos
would be stronger after evolving,Copy !req
221. but I never expected this.Copy !req
222. Impressive, don't you think?Copy !req
223. Real power's a sight to behold.Copy !req
224. I suggest you start putting that
special training to good use now.Copy !req
225. Wow, you were right when you
said though Ash is up by two,Copy !req
226. it wasn't over till it's over.Copy !req
227. It's like he's giving Ash a test.Copy !req
228. A test? This is exactly what
any good Gym Leader does -Copy !req
229. take the Challenger to the edge.Copy !req
230. With just one move, Roark has turned
Ash's advantage completely around,Copy !req
231. additional pressure
Ash is going to have to deal with.Copy !req
232. Which, of course, is
a vital part of Roark's job.Copy !req
233. OK, will you get in there, Pikachu?Copy !req
234. Pikachu.Copy !req
235. Pika-pi!Copy !req
236. Pika...Copy !req
237. Now, how in the world
do you hide a battlefield?Copy !req
238. There's enough square footage in
this place to hide a strip mall.Copy !req
239. Take the energy from your mouth
and put in your feetCopy !req
240. and we'll find
the battlefield in no time!Copy !req
241. Huh?Copy !req
242. Croa...Copy !req
243. Croagunk?Copy !req
244. Croa...Copy !req
245. Croa...Copy !req
246. Croa...Copy !req
247. Croa...Copy !req
248. Croa...Copy !req
249. Pikachu, Thunderbolt!Copy !req
250. Pika... chu!Copy !req
251. Dodge and do Zen Headbutt.Copy !req
252. Jump and get out of the way.Copy !req
253. Pi...Copy !req
254. Pika.Copy !req
255. Rampardos won't let Pikachu dodge.Copy !req
256. OK, then try this out.Copy !req
257. Pikachu, use Quick Attack!Copy !req
258. Pika-pi!Copy !req
259. Intercept with Headbutt.Copy !req
260. Jump, Pikachu!Copy !req
261. Ah!Copy !req
262. So Pikachu rotates
head over heels instead ofCopy !req
263. spinning just like a top,
and that works, too. Amazing!Copy !req
264. It's awesome what you can accomplishCopy !req
265. when you knuckle down
and work really hard.Copy !req
266. That Ash. Using a new move
in the midst of all this?Copy !req
267. But it won't be enough.Copy !req
268. Throw Pikachu off using your tail.Copy !req
269. Pika...Copy !req
270. Hang in there. Now, use Iron Tail.Copy !req
271. .. chu!Copy !req
272. Quick, Zen Headbutt.Copy !req
273. Pika!Copy !req
274. Awesome. Static worked.Copy !req
275. Nope. Rampardos' Mold BreakerCopy !req
276. will stop it cold.Copy !req
277. Pika. Rampardos, finish it up!Copy !req
278. Pika!Copy !req
279. Pikachu can't battle.Copy !req
280. Rampardos wins it.Copy !req
281. Pikachu!Copy !req
282. Are you OK?Copy !req
283. Pikachu.Copy !req
284. Hey, you were great.
You deserve a nice, long rest.Copy !req
285. Wow, what a way to lose.Copy !req
286. And after all that intense work
learning new ways to dodge.Copy !req
287. Now Turtwig's the only one left.Copy !req
288. Ash's success totally
depends on the wayCopy !req
289. he uses Turtwig's
Grass-type attacks.Copy !req
290. Come clean, Croagunk.Copy !req
291. If something's on your mind...Copy !req
292. Small though it may be, say it.Copy !req
293. Aha, you want to ask us if you can
be a part of our glorious team,Copy !req
294. now, don't you?Copy !req
295. You may be strange,
but that's no reason to be shy.Copy !req
296. Croagunk.Copy !req
297. Ah-ah!Copy !req
298. Sorry to run
but there's a hospital nearby.Copy !req
299. And one patient's quite enough,
thank you.Copy !req
300. Have... a... nice... day.Copy !req
301. Croa...Copy !req
302. Croa...Copy !req
303. OK, Turtwig, I choose you!Copy !req
304. Turtwig!Copy !req
305. Well, you're quite
a spirited one, now, aren't you?Copy !req
306. All right,
it all boils down to this.Copy !req
307. Turtwig, get going!Copy !req
308. Rampardos, Headbutt!Copy !req
309. Turtwig, get up and over.Copy !req
310. Turtwig!Copy !req
311. I think you've forgotten
Rampardos' tail.Copy !req
312. Use it on Turtwig.Copy !req
313. We didn't forget a thing.Copy !req
314. Now, Turtwig, bite Rampardos' tail.Copy !req
315. Turtwig!Copy !req
316. Ah!Copy !req
317. Yeah. Give it a toss!Copy !req
318. Tur... twig!Copy !req
319. Oh, no!Copy !req
320. Turtwig actually threw Rampardos?Copy !req
321. Big things come in small packages.Copy !req
322. Razor Leaf, go!Copy !req
323. Turtwig!Copy !req
324. Use Flamethrower!Copy !req
325. Turtwig.Copy !req
326. No good. We're too far away
for Razor Leaf to work.Copy !req
327. How about this?Copy !req
328. Use Head Smash, Rampardos, now!Copy !req
329. That sounds strong.
And that's an understatement.Copy !req
330. Turtwig, don't move till I say.Copy !req
331. Turtwig.Copy !req
332. Now, quick, use Razor Leaf!Copy !req
333. Turtwig. Turtwig. Tur...Copy !req
334. .. twig!Copy !req
335. Turtwig, no! Pika!Copy !req
336. Turtwig!Copy !req
337. Are you OK?Copy !req
338. Turtwig. Turtwig.Copy !req
339. Brock, do you think
there's any hope?Copy !req
340. We still don't know
if there will be any after-shockCopy !req
341. from Rampardos' Head Smash.Copy !req
342. So either side could win it.Copy !req
343. Turtwig, use Synthesis.Copy !req
344. Turtwig.Copy !req
345. Tur...Copy !req
346. Flamethrower!Copy !req
347. Tur...Copy !req
348. .. twig.Copy !req
349. Way to go!Copy !req
350. Turtwig.Copy !req
351. Uh!Copy !req
352. At this point, all
I can do is try and use Razor LeafCopy !req
353. from far away.
But how are we going to win thisCopy !req
354. with Rampardos' awesome speed
and that Flamethrower?Copy !req
355. That's it!Copy !req
356. Turtwig, use Razor Leaf
while you run!Copy !req
357. Twig!Copy !req
358. Turtwig's too far away for that.Copy !req
359. Now, Rampardos, Flamethrower!Copy !req
360. Keep that Razor Leaf going!
Don't you let up.Copy !req
361. Turtwig.Copy !req
362. You really think you
can defeat us like that?Copy !req
363. All right, Rampardos, go!Copy !req
364. Turtwig. That's it!Copy !req
365. Huh?Copy !req
366. Turtwig.Copy !req
367. Of course. Ash has just been
camouflaging Turtwig whole time.Copy !req
368. Let's switch to
Zen Headbutt, Rampardos, now!Copy !req
369. Stop Razor Leaf
and now do a revolving jump.Copy !req
370. Turtwig.Copy !req
371. Still trying to get behind us, huh?Copy !req
372. Rampardos, you jump!Copy !req
373. Ah!Copy !req
374. Great, Turtwig!Copy !req
375. Now use Razor Leaf!Copy !req
376. Supercharge!Copy !req
377. Turtwig.Copy !req
378. Ah, Rampardos!Copy !req
379. Rampardos can't battleCopy !req
380. and Turtwig is the winner!Copy !req
381. The victory goes to
Ash of Pallet Town!Copy !req
382. Turtwig, we did it!Copy !req
383. You were so awesome! Turtwig!Copy !req
384. Pikachu!Copy !req
385. All right! Ash really won it.Copy !req
386. Those new moves ended up
paying off in a big way after all.Copy !req
387. Amazing how quickly Turtwig
got comfortable with them.Copy !req
388. Quite a battle, eh, Croagunk?Copy !req
389. Croa...Copy !req
390. Croa...Copy !req
391. Croa...Copy !req
392. The way you adapted
quickly to changing conditionsCopy !req
393. was just amazing.Copy !req
394. So, here's proof of
your Oreburgh Gym victory.Copy !req
395. The Coal Badge.Copy !req
396. Wow.Copy !req
397. Ah. Pika.Copy !req
398. Thank you so much, Roark. All right!Copy !req
399. We just got the Coal Badge!Copy !req
400. Pikachu! Turtwig!Copy !req
401. Getting that first
Gym Badge is always a challengeCopy !req
402. but, to our hero in the Sinnoh
region, it's now reality.Copy !req
403. However, requiring
seven additional badgesCopy !req
404. to compete in the Sinnoh League,Copy !req
405. you can be sure there's plenty
of excitement yet to come.Copy !req
406. So stay tuned to make sure you don't
miss one thrill-packed second!Copy !req
