10. The Devil Went Down to Georgia: CDB
Giovanni had bitten off far more than he could handle; but he didn't know that, and no one was about to warn him.
"I challenge you, young man, to a battle. If you win, I walk away from the crime game forever. If I win, you work for me."
Giovanni made the first move. Sending out a shockingly large Rhyhorn.
He didn't stand a chance. It didn't take long for Giovanni to know that he had been beaten. There were too many people gathered around for him to make a break for it. So, as his last Pokémon fell, he laid his pokeballs at the feet of the young man who had defeated him.
"I'm not taking these. You come back if you think you can handle it, but I told you, I, Gary Oak, am the best there has ever been."
Behind him, Ash only smiled. Gary had just defeated the head of Team Rocket. Though he could have done it better, and faster, he decided to let his friend have this moment before he showed him just who really was the best there had ever been.
