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