Last time, Ash was battling against Dahlia for his third frontier symbol. He sent out his Staraptor to battle Dahlia, who was using Ludicolo. "I hope I can win this" said Ash. "You will, boyfriend" said Macy. "Remember not to get too overconfident" said Serena. "I won't" said Ash.
"This will be an interesting match" said Sakura. "I agree" said Casey. "Alright, battle begin" replied the Judge of the battle. "Staraptor, use close combat, now" said Ash. "Ludicolo, dodge it" said Dahlia. Ludicolo then dodges the close combat attack. "Shoot" said Ash.
"That Ludicolo dodged pretty well" said Sakura. "I know, guess we will have to see what happens from here" replied Serena. "True, we will see" said Casey. "Alright, Ludicolo, use waterfall, now" came Dahlia's command. Staraptor then got hit. "That wasn't good" said Ash.
"That's true" said Serena. "Well, it's not over yet, I'm just getting warmed up" said Ash. "That's true" said Macy. "Alright, Staraptor, use brave bird, now" said Ash. "Quick, dodge it" said Dahlia. However, Ludicolo was unable to dodge the attack. "Wow, that was fast" said Dahlia.
"True" replied Ash. "Wow, Staraptor moved quickly" commented Sakura. "Yeah, I know" replied Casey. "Excellent move, Ash, but the battle is far from over" said Dahlia. "I know" said Ash. Meanwhile, the traitors were watching Ash on T.V, since someone was recording the battle.
"I hope Ash loses" said Brock. "Me too" replied Misty. "He's so pathetic" said May. "I know, right" replied Iris. "Ash is so annoying, I can't believe we were friends with him" said Max. "Same here" replied Dawn.
Now back to Ash, Sakura, Macy, Serena, Casey and Dahlia as the battle continues on. Both Ludicolo and Staraptor were looking tired. "Whoa, it appears both Ludicolo and Staraptor are looking wiped out" stated Macy. "I know" replied Serena.
"Do you think this first battle will result in a tie"? Asked Sakura. "I have no idea" replied Casey. "I guess we will have to see if it ends in a tie" said Ash. "True" said Dahlia. "Alright, Staraptor, finish this off with aerial-ace" said Ash. "Use drain punch, Ludicolo" said Dahlia.
Ludicolo and Staraptor then hit each other and both Pokemon were knocked out. "The first battle is over, and it's a tie" said the Judge. "Wow, I guess it was a tie" said Serena. "I know" replied Casey. "Alright trainers, call out your next Pokemon" came the Judge's reply.
"Go, Medicham" said Dahlia. "So, she's starting off with Medicham, next" said Ash. "Well, let's see who you choose, Ash" said Macy. "Right, I'll choose Pikachu" said Ash. "Pikachu" said Pikachu. "Alright, so the second battle is Pikachu Vs Medicham, begin" said the Judge.
"Alright Pikachu, use thunder" said Ash. "Pika" replied Pikachu. "Dodge it, Medicham" said Dahlia. Medicham then dodged thunder. "Shoot, Medicham was able to avoid that thunder attack" said Ash. "Wow, Medicham had no trouble avoiding that thunder" said Sakura. "I know, right" replied Macy.
"Now Medicham, use reversal" said Dahlia. "Dodge it, quickly, Pikachu" said Ash. Pikachu was able to dodge reversal really fast. "Alright Pikachu, quick attack, now" said Ash. "Pika" said Pikachu. Medicham then got hit. "Whoa, that was unexpected" said Dahlia.
"When it comes to speed, Pikachu is one of the best" said Ash. "Well, it's not over yet" said Dahlia. "Nope" said Ash. "That was a good hit" said Macy. "I know, I'm eager to see who wins this next battle" said Serena. "Me too" said Casey. "Hopefully Ash will win" said Sakura.
"I know he will" said Macy. "Alright, Medicham, use zen headbutt, now" said Dahlia. "Agility, Pikachu" said Ash. Pikachu narrowly avoids getting hit by zen headbutt. "Great" said Dahlia. "Alright Pikachu, use thunderbolt" said Ash. "Pikachu" said Pikachu.
Medicham then got hit. "Oh no" said Dahlia. "Ha, looks like Medicham is paralyzed" said Ash. "Great" said Dahlia. "Pikachu, use thunder to finish it off" said Ash. "Pikachu" said Pikachu. Medicham was then knocked out of the battle. Medicham is unable to battle, Pikachu wins" said the Judge.
"Alright" said Ash. "Alright, looks like I'm down to my last Pokemon" said Dahlia. "Looks like it" said Ash. "It looks like Ash will win" said Sakura. "Well, it's not over yet" said Macy. "That's true" said Casey. "Well, looks like there's one more battle, unless they tie" said Serena. "True" said Sakura.
"Go, Dusknoir" said Dahlia. "Pikachu, return" said Ash. "I wonder why Ash is returning Pikachu" said Macy. "Who knows"? Asked Casey. "Guess we will find out" said Serena. "Go, Krookodile" said Ash. "Well, that's why he switched, Krookodile has an advantage" said Serena. "True" said Macy.
"Alright, battle begin" said the Judge. "Don't think it will be easy" said Dahlia. "It won't, but I refuse to lose" said Ash, determined. "Well, let's keep on battling" said Dahlia. "Fine by me, Krookodile, use crunch, now" said Ash. "Dodge, Dusknoir" said Dahlia.
However, Krookodile hit Dusknoir with crunch, anyways. "Shoot, that was fast" said Dahlia. "True" said Ash. "Well, Dusknoir, use Will-O-Wisp" said Dahlia. "Krookodile, try and dodge it" said Ash. However, Krookodile was unable to dodge the Will-O-Wisp. "Shoot, Krookodile got burned" stated Ash.
"Well, that's not good" said Sakura. "Agreed, but at least he still has two Pokemon left" said Casey. "True" said Sakura. "Anyways, let's see what happens" said Macy. "Can't wait" said Serena. "Alright, Krookodile, can you still do it"? Asked Ash. "Krookodile" said Krookodile giving a thumbs up.
"Alright, Krookodile, dig, now" said Ash. "Careful Dusknoir, we don't know where Krookodile will come out of" said Dahlia. "Alright Krookodile, emerge" said Ash. Krookodile" said Krookodile. Then, Dusknoir got hit by dig. "I couldn't tell where Krookodile was" said Dahlia. "That's true" said Ash.
Krookodile was then affected by Will-o-Wisp. "Great" said Ash. "Well, let's finish this off Dusknoir, use shadow punch" said Dahlia. However, Krookodile wasn't affected much. Due to the burn, however, Krookodile was starting to look tired.
"Great, well, I need to hurry, anyways, Krookodile, use stone edge" said Ash. "Use shadow punch, Dusknoir" said Dahlia. Both Krookodile and Dusknoir got hit. In the end, they both tied but since Ash still had Pikachu left, Ash won the battle.
"Both Pokemon are unable to battle, Ash wins" said the Judge. "Alright, we did it" said Ash. "Pi, Pikachu" said Pikachu. "Congratulations Ash, I really enjoyed that battle" said Sakura. "Same here" said Casey. "Thanks" said Ash. "I really enjoyed the battle, as well" said Macy. "Me too" said Serena.
"Well, now that's the third symbol" said Ash. "So, you only have one left, right"? Asked Sakura. "Yeah, only one left I believe, but I'm not sure where" said Ash. "Well, the Battle Castle is the last one" said Dahlia. "Ok, where is it"? Asked Ash. "It's to the west of here" said Dahlia.
"Perfect, that's where we are heading, as well" said Casey. "Yeah" said Sakura. "Well, let's go then, but first, I have to make some calls" said Ash. "Right" Said Macy. Ash, Macy, Serena, Sakura and Casey then left after thanking Dahlia. Ash then called his mom, first. "Hey mom" said Ash. "Hey Ash, how are you doing"? Asked Delia.
"I'm doing good, got my third frontier symbol, just one more and then, it says I'm battling someone who uses random Pokemon" said Ash. "Interesting, so just one more before the champion challenge" said Delia. "Yeah" said Ash. "Well, good luck, Ash" said Delia.
"Thanks mom" said Ash. "Who are these two, btw with you, Macy and Serena"? Asked Delia. "These two are Casey and Sakura" said Ash. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Ketchum" said Casey and Sakura. "Likewise, anyways, got to get going everyone, but have a good rest of your day" said Delia.
"Thanks mom" said Ash. "You're welcome, bye" said Delia. Delia then hung up. "Alright, now I'm going to call Harrison" said Ash. Harrison then got on the phone. "How are you doing, Ash"? Asked Harrison. "Good, how are you doing"? Asked Ash. "I'm doing well" said Harrison.
"That's good, is Miltank feeling better from the last time I was able to talk"? Asked Ash. "Yeah, Miltank is doing great" said Harrison. "That's great to hear" said Ash. "Yeah, btw, who are those two with you, Macy and Serena"? Asked Harrison. "Those two are Casey and Sakura" said Ash.
"Nice to meet you two" said Harrison. "Same" said Casey and Sakura. "Well Ash, it was nice of you to call" said Harrison. "Yeah" said Ash. "Anyways, got to go, but it was nice talking to you, Ash" said Harrison. "I had fun, too" said Ash. "Alright, well, see you" said Harrison. "See you later" said Ash.
Ash then hung up. "Who are you going to call next"? Asked Casey. "I will actually wait until later, it's actually getting late, but tomorrow, I will call more of my friends, the ones who stuck by me and Professor Oak as well" said Ash. "I can't wait to meet more of your friends" said Sakura.
"Me too" said Casey. "You will, just it's getting late, sadly" said Ash. "That's true" said Macy. "Anyways, let's get to sleep" said Serena. "Agreed" said Ash. "Pikachu" said Pikachu, agreeing as well. So, Ash, Macy, Serena, Casey, Sakura and Pikachu all go to sleep.
