for the skin,Copy !req
9. it's good for the soul!
I've got plenty of soul!Copy !req
10. And what's it got to do
with conquering Sinnoh?Copy !req
11. Relax! Come in! The mud's fine!Copy !req
12. Mitts off!Copy !req
13. Meowth, just take the time!Copy !req
14. Ah!Copy !req
15. See! Feels good, right?Copy !req
16. Piplup!Copy !req
17. Buizel's sure training hard!Copy !req
18. Bui!Copy !req
19. Ooh! Wow!Copy !req
20. Buizel seems different than before.Copy !req
21. You're right! Buizel's got a whole
new levelCopy !req
22. of focus for our next gym battle.Copy !req
23. Huh? Remember the battle against
LucarioCopy !req
24. at the Veilstone Gym was a draw!Copy !req
25. That's why!Copy !req
26. So this time Buizel wants
to win for sure!Copy !req
27. All right! Let's all get out there
and give it our best shot!Copy !req
28. With yesterday's fun and
excitingCopy !req
29. Croagunk Festival behind them,Copy !req
30. everyone's looking forward to Ash's
Pastoria City Gym challengeCopy !req
31. and the chance for Ash to win his
fourth Sinnoh gym badge.Copy !req
32. Pi-pi-pi-pi-pi!Copy !req
33. Piplup, use whirlpool!Copy !req
34. Piplup! PIPLUP!Copy !req
35. Iron tail!
Chu!Copy !req
36. Pika!Copy !req
37. Nice going!
Now thunderbolt!Copy !req
38. Pikachu! Piplup!Copy !req
39. Huh?Copy !req
40. Oh!Copy !req
41. Are you OK, Buizel?Copy !req
42. Piplup?Copy !req
43. Buizel, sorry about that.Copy !req
44. It wasn't on purpose.Copy !req
45. Pika-pika!Copy !req
46. Bui!Copy !req
47. Pi...Copy !req
48. Pika!Copy !req
49. BUI!Copy !req
50. Stop, Buizel!Copy !req
51. Turtwig! Pika-pi!Copy !req
52. Oh, no!
Are you OK?Copy !req
53. That was great, Buizel!Copy !req
54. Make sure you focus just like that
in the gym battle!Copy !req
55. Pikachu upset Buizel, and that just
makes things much more difficultCopy !req
56. for the rest of the Pokemon.Copy !req
57. I guess that does show how serious
Buizel is about battling.Copy !req
58. But it's the teamwork between Buizel
and the othersCopy !req
59. that's got me worried.Copy !req
60. Good morning!Copy !req
61. Ah!Copy !req
62. Ha-ha-ha! That's good.Copy !req
63. You're awake now.Copy !req
64. Morning, Wake!Copy !req
65. Please don't scare me like that.Copy !req
66. Well, since our party boy had such
a great time last night,Copy !req
67. I thought I'd come to you!Copy !req
68. So, Ash, are you all set?Copy !req
69. Yeah, the whole team's focused
and ready to go!Copy !req
70. Right, you guys?Copy !req
71. Huh?Copy !req
72. You see, the truth is Buizel got
upset with Pikachu.Copy !req
73. And it ended up turning into
a fight.Copy !req
74. Hm.Copy !req
75. Huh?Copy !req
76. Well, I like that face!Copy !req
77. Like to battle, do you?Copy !req
78. Oh!Copy !req
79. Little buddy, today you're going to
battle a good friend of mine.Copy !req
80. Come out, Floatzel!Copy !req
81. Bui!Copy !req
82. Floatzel, check it out!Copy !req
83. Floatzel, the sea weasel
PokemonCopy !req
84. and the evolved form of Buizel.Copy !req
85. Its flotation sac developed as an
aid in chasing aquatic prey.Copy !req
86. Floatzel can also carry
people on its back.Copy !req
87. Bui-bui!Copy !req
88. OK, Buizel, I'm right with you!Copy !req
89. That's the kind of attitude I like!Copy !req
90. What do you say we continue this
party at the gym?Copy !req
91. Ha-ha!Copy !req
92. Wow! This is such a beautiful
water-type gym!Copy !req
93. Yeah, and in a water-type field
like thisCopy !req
94. the trick is to successfully
navigate your wayCopy !req
95. between all those islands situated
in the middle.Copy !req
96. All right, the Pastoria Gym's next
battle is about to begin!Copy !req
97. In the blue corner, the challenger
Ash from Pallet Town.Copy !req
98. And in the red corner,Copy !req
99. the gym leader of Pastoria Gym,
Crasher Wake!Copy !req
100. Argh!Copy !req
101. OK, Crasher Wake is in the house!Copy !req
102. You will each have the
use of three PokemonCopy !req
103. and the battle will be over when one
of you loses all three of them.Copy !req
104. In addition, only the challenger
will be allowedCopy !req
105. to substitute Pokemon.Copy !req
106. As the leader of the Pastoria Gym,Copy !req
107. it is my privilege and
responsibilityCopy !req
108. to see just what kind of power and
skill you and your Pokemon have.Copy !req
109. Gyarados, on the water!Copy !req
110. GYARADOS ROARSCopy !req
111. Gyarados, huh? Pikachu, let's go!Copy !req
112. Pikachu! Pika!Copy !req
113. Buneary! Buneary!Copy !req
114. Pikachu, eh?Copy !req
115. Then I guess we're ready.Copy !req
116. Good, now give it everything
you've got!Copy !req
117. You bet!
All right, battle begin!Copy !req
118. All right, Pikachu.Copy !req
119. Use thunderbolt!Copy !req
120. Pika-CHU!Copy !req
121. Bull's-eye!Copy !req
122. Wow, they're looking great!Copy !req
123. GYARADOS ROARSCopy !req
124. Pika!
That thunderbolt didn't do a thing!Copy !req
125. But how?Copy !req
126. Gyarados must have incredible
stamina to tolerate Pikachu'sCopy !req
127. thunderbolt like that!Copy !req
128. Your strategy to take on
my water-typeCopy !req
129. with an electric-type Pokemon
is correct.Copy !req
130. Of course, my Gyarados isn't going
to take that lying down.Copy !req
131. Let's go!Copy !req
132. Now, dragon rage!Copy !req
133. Pikachu, break that move up
with iron tail!Copy !req
134. Pika!Copy !req
135. Use bite, and don't let it get away!
Volt tackle!Copy !req
136. Pika-pika-pika-pika!Copy !req
137. Pika-pika!Copy !req
138. All right!Copy !req
139. A great shot!Copy !req
140. What? But that volt tackle hit
in mid air!Copy !req
141. Gyarados is unable to battle!Copy !req
142. Pikachu is the winner!Copy !req
143. Great job, Pikachu!Copy !req
144. What a move!Copy !req
145. Pikachu was great!Copy !req
146. Bun bun bun! Piplup!Copy !req
147. Gyarados, thanks. You did your best.Copy !req
148. As for you, the way you used the
speed from Gyarados' fallCopy !req
149. from that volt tackle
was incredible!Copy !req
150. All right, Wake! Thanks a lot!
Pika!Copy !req
151. Time for our next battle.Copy !req
152. Quagsire, on the water!Copy !req
153. Quagsire!Copy !req
154. So his second choice is Quagsire.Copy !req
155. Quagsire, the water fish
PokemonCopy !req
156. and the evolved form of Wooper.Copy !req
157. Known as quite dim-witted,
it doesn't careCopy !req
158. when it crashes its head against
rocks or the bottoms of boats.Copy !req
159. Since Quagsire's partly a
ground-type Pokemon,Copy !req
160. electric-type moves won't work!Copy !req
161. Pikachu, you take a break.Copy !req
162. Now, Turtwig, I choose you!Copy !req
163. Turtwig!Copy !req
164. Excellent strategy to come after my
Quagsire with a grass-type.Copy !req
165. After you.
Turtwig, energy ball!Copy !req
166. Turtwig!Copy !req
167. Just barely a scratch!Copy !req
168. All right, Quagsire, in the pool!Copy !req
169. They're attacking from the water,
are they?Copy !req
170. Turtwig, keep on moving around to
confuse Quagsire!Copy !req
171. Turtwig! Twig! Twig! Twig!Copy !req
172. Wow, would you look at that speed?Copy !req
173. But none of that will help one bit
against my Quagsire.Copy !req
174. Huh?
Sludge bomb now!Copy !req
175. Quag!Copy !req
176. Sire!
Oh!Copy !req
177. Twig!Copy !req
178. Hey, Turtwig, you all right?Copy !req
179. So how did those two know
we were going to do that?Copy !req
180. Even underwater, Quagsire's
excellent hearingCopy !req
181. allows it to know just where Turtwig
is every second.Copy !req
182. I'm afraid there's no place
to hide in my gym.Copy !req
183. Quagsire, ice beam!Copy !req
184. Tur!Copy !req
185. A direct hit!Copy !req
186. With a lot of power!Copy !req
187. Now, sludge bomb again!Copy !req
188. Now, Turtwig, return!Copy !req
189. Smart. That was an excellent
decision.Copy !req
190. Quagsire!Copy !req
191. That Quagsire can use ice beam!Copy !req
192. Very clever. Wake anticipated that
challengers might come hereCopy !req
193. with a grass-type so he came up with
a move to counter their strategy.Copy !req
194. Of course, this puts pressure
on Ash!Copy !req
195. OK, in that case I'm going with
a water-type.Copy !req
196. Buizel, that's you!Copy !req
197. You can do it, Buizel!Copy !req
198. Pika-pika!Copy !req
199. Huh!Copy !req
200. Pika-pika!Copy !req
201. Bui-bui!Copy !req
202. Oh, no! Looks to me like Buizel must
still be botheredCopy !req
203. about everything that happened
before.Copy !req
204. Buizel, you know you're battling
Quagsire - remember?Copy !req
205. Quag!Copy !req
206. Buizel, sonic boom! Go!Copy !req
207. Bui! Bui! Bui!
Quag!Copy !req
208. What the...?Copy !req
209. That's not going to do at all.Copy !req
210. Use ice beam!Copy !req
211. I think we'll grab some of that
ice beam.Copy !req
212. Buizel, aqua jet, now!Copy !req
213. Perfect!Copy !req
214. What's going on?Copy !req
215. Get ready for an ice aqua jet!Copy !req
216. Quagsire is unable to battle!
Buizel is the winner!Copy !req
217. Nice job, Buizel!Copy !req
218. That was fantastic!Copy !req
219. Yeah, they put together a great
combination!Copy !req
220. Wow! And now that Wake's only left
with one Pokemon,Copy !req
221. everything's sure going Ash's way!Copy !req
222. Quagsire, excellent.Copy !req
223. Time for a good rest.Copy !req
224. Nice, Ash! You've really given me
an enjoyable battle.Copy !req
225. Your speed and combinations are all
first-rate.Copy !req
226. And that deserves respect.Copy !req
227. Now for my final Pokemon -Copy !req
228. Floatzel, on the water!Copy !req
229. Course, I know that's Buizel's
evolved form,Copy !req
230. but I'm sure it'll work out fine.Copy !req
231. You can do it, Buizel!
Piplup!Copy !req
232. Buizel, use aqua jet!Copy !req
233. Bounce it back!Copy !req
234. What's going on?Copy !req
235. Oh, no! Floatzel's defence
is too tough!Copy !req
236. Ha-ha-ha!Copy !req
237. I'll tell you, Floatzel's flotation
sac can get big enoughCopy !req
238. for a person to ride.Copy !req
239. Even a super strong move like
giga impactCopy !req
240. wouldn't have any effect either.Copy !req
241. Pretty powerful stuff,
wouldn't you say?Copy !req
242. Then how about this!Copy !req
243. Use water pulse!Copy !req
244. Ah!Copy !req
245. Pika!Copy !req
246. Floatzel's so strong!Copy !req
247. Now we'll just have a turn.Copy !req
248. Use razor wind!Copy !req
249. Buizel, no!Copy !req
250. Pika!Copy !req
251. Brock, that was a double-bladed
razor wind!Copy !req
252. This'll be tough!
Huh?Copy !req
253. They're both water-types,Copy !req
254. and Floatzel's evolved from Buizel.Copy !req
255. Ash is at a disadvantage
if Buizel stays in.Copy !req
256. We won't give up!Copy !req
257. Buizel, water gun!Copy !req
258. Water-type moves aren't
going to beat us.Copy !req
259. Buizel's about more than just moves.Copy !req
260. Go!Copy !req
261. Intercept it!Copy !req
262. Buizel!
He's battling a gym leader.Copy !req
263. Ash can't win by pure power.Copy !req
264. Floatzel, it's time for bulk up!Copy !req
265. What's bulk up?Copy !req
266. It raises both attack
and defence power,Copy !req
267. which means he's planning to
finish this now!Copy !req
268. Buizel, sonic boom!
Razor wind, go!Copy !req
269. Buizel, think of the water as your
friend and then attack!Copy !req
270. In and out of water, now we'll see
which trainerCopy !req
271. has the better connection with
their Pokemon!Copy !req
272. Now that's a water pulse!Copy !req
273. Pika!Copy !req
274. Bui!Copy !req
275. What a move!Copy !req
276. Buizel incorporated the pool water
into that water pulse perfectly!Copy !req
277. And that's just exactly what Ash
wanted Buizel to do!Copy !req
278. Don't count your winnings just yet.Copy !req
279. Use ice fang!Copy !req
280. Sonic boom! Go!Copy !req
281. No! Buizel! We won't lose!
Water pulse!Copy !req
282. Bounce it back!Copy !req
283. Bui?Copy !req
284. Pika! Hey, Buizel, are you OK?Copy !req
285. Buizel, get up! Quick!
Piplup!Copy !req
286. Huh?Copy !req
287. Razor wind! Now!Copy !req
288. Buizel, intercept it with aqua jet!Copy !req
289. Huh!Copy !req
290. Urgh!
Pikachu!Copy !req
291. But why did Buizel do that?Copy !req
292. Buizel's confused.
Huh?Copy !req
293. Being hit by a water pulse can
lead to being confused.Copy !req
294. But since it was Buizel's own move,
I never thought that would happen.Copy !req
295. Pika!Copy !req
296. Buizel, how about a short rest?Copy !req
297. Bui!Copy !req
298. Pikachu, ready to go?
Pika!Copy !req
299. Pika-pika!Copy !req
300. Buizel, let's leave the rest
up to Pikachu!Copy !req
301. Pikachu, Floatzel took a lot of
damage from battling Buizel,Copy !req
302. so let's finish this battle up
right now!Copy !req
303. All right, thunderbolt!Copy !req
304. Pikachu!Copy !req
305. Whirlpool!Copy !req
306. Volt tackle, go!
Razor wind!Copy !req
307. Pika-pika-pika-pika-pika!Copy !req
308. Pika!Copy !req
309. Pikachu, no!Copy !req
310. Use ice fang!Copy !req
311. Pikachu!Copy !req
312. Pika-pika.Copy !req
313. Pika!Copy !req
314. Pika-pika! PIKACHU!Copy !req
315. Pikachu! Huh?Copy !req
316. What's on Pikachu's back?Copy !req
317. It looks frozen!Copy !req
318. That's a side effect of ice fang!Copy !req
319. You see, Ash, my amazing Floatzel's
no ordinary water-type Pokemon.Copy !req
320. It's the strongest water Pokemon!Copy !req
321. Bui-bui!
Huh?Copy !req
322. Buizel, your confusion wore off!Copy !req
323. Pikachu's in trouble, so can you
get back in the battle?Copy !req
324. Bui! Bui-bui!Copy !req
325. Pika?Copy !req
326. Pika-pika!Copy !req
327. Bui-bui!Copy !req
328. Oh, excellent teamwork, Ash.Copy !req
329. Hey, Pikachu, switch with
Buizel now!Copy !req
330. Pika!Copy !req
331. Wow! Look what Buizel did!Copy !req
332. Yeah!Copy !req
333. Thanks a lot, Buizel!Copy !req
334. Pika-pika!Copy !req
335. Buizel, this battle's all in
your hands!Copy !req
336. That's wonderful.Copy !req
337. Seeing true friendship between
Pokemon.Copy !req
338. So, Ash, bring it all on!Copy !req
339. OK, Buizel, use aqua jet!Copy !req
340. Ha! You can't defeat Floatzel
with water-type moves!Copy !req
341. Ice fang! Go!Copy !req
342. Destroy where they stand with
razor wind!Copy !req
343. The same way he used that move
as before!Copy !req
344. Jump above, Floatzel!Copy !req
345. What the...?
All right, Buizel!Copy !req
346. Knock Floatzel down with
water pulse!Copy !req
347. Floatzel!Copy !req
348. Floatzel is unable to battle!Copy !req
349. The winner is Buizel!Copy !req
350. And so the victor is the challenger,
Ash!Copy !req
351. All right! Pikachu!Copy !req
352. Bui-bui!Copy !req
353. They won! They really won!Copy !req
354. They were amazing!Copy !req
355. All that damage, and they still hung
in there!Copy !req
356. As always. Great job, Floatzel!Copy !req
357. Witnessing Buizel dive underwater
like that during the explosionCopy !req
358. was something to see!Copy !req
359. They're quite a team.Copy !req
360. Turtwig!Copy !req
361. Pikachu!Copy !req
362. Pika?Copy !req
363. Bui! Bui-bui!Copy !req
364. Pika! Pikachu!Copy !req
365. Turtwig!
It's nice to see everyone making up.Copy !req
366. Piplup! Piplup!Copy !req
367. Ash! Huh?Copy !req
368. You did a masterful job combining
each of your Pokemon's abilities.Copy !req
369. Great effort.Copy !req
370. Requiring the cooperation of Pokemon
and trainer alike,Copy !req
371. and I was quite moved.Copy !req
372. You should be very proud.Copy !req
373. Gee, thanks!Copy !req
374. Ah, and here's the proof that you
were victoriousCopy !req
375. at the Pastoria Gym!Copy !req
376. The Fen Badge.Copy !req
377. Wow! Pika!Copy !req
378. Thank you very much, Wake!Copy !req
379. All right! We've got the Fen Badge!Copy !req
380. Bui! Turtwig! Pikachu!Copy !req
381. After defeating a powerful
gym leader like Crasher Wake,Copy !req
382. Ash's fourth Sinnoh gym badge win
is all the much sweeter.Copy !req
383. And besides, what could be better
than brand-new friendsCopy !req
384. and a brand-new badge?Copy !req
385. But one wonders, what happened to
Team Rocket?Copy !req
386. TEAM ROCKET SIGHCopy !req
387. Ah!Copy !req
388. Stay tuned!Copy !req
389. Wobbu!Copy !req
