Chapter 9 Rock the House.

Forrest took the referee spot so Brock can face his best friend Ash in a Pokemon Battle. Both Trainers think what their first Pokemon will be? Out the window, the Egg-Drone was watching Ash vs Forrest and now Ash facing off against Brock. "That hat kid seems to be good with the creatures of this world. It would be wise to keep a note of this kid to test the Badnik series 2." Orbot said to Egg-Man who watch the screen very closely. Cubot who got a female voice which creeps Orbot out said, "that boy is a darling so are you Egg-Handsome, give sugarbot some love-", Robotnik slams his fist down on Cubot shutting him off for a while. "Thank you, sir. Make sure that chip is beyond repair I dread hearing that in my sleep." "I will destroy it personally Orbot," Egg-Man said to Orbot. His robot minion understood and nodded before they both return there attention to the match that's about to unfold.

Ash and Brock pick their first Pokemon which was Sudowoodo for Brock and Oshawott for Ash. the Pokedex Ash pulled out said about the rock looking tree, "Sudowoodo the Imitation Pokemon and the evolved form of Bonsly. It's so popular with the elderly that there's a magazine devoted to this Pokémon. Fans obsess over the particular length and angle of its arms. If a tree branch shakes when there is no wind, it's a Sudowoodo, not a tree. It hides from the rain due to being weak to water." both Pokemon look ready to face up, Oshawott was more confident after his talk and training with Sonic and plan to make the fire flying type Pokemon proud.

"Alright, Oshawott time to kick this off with a Scald." Oshawott nodded and unleash a powerful stream of hot water which hit Sudowoodo dead on, slightly scorching Sudowoodo. Luckily for Brock, it didn't cause the burn effect on his fake tree Pokemon, "Sudowoodo attack back with Double Edge." Sudowoodo charges full speed at Oshawott and slams into the sea otter. Oshawott was launch and hit a rock pillar and slides down it to the floor. Oshawott got back up clearly hurt but far from out, "Is that all you got you fake tree!" he shouted at Sudowoodo before firing another Scald, but the rock tree so it coming and avoid it with the stream hitting and scorching his side a bit. Brock smiles and says to his Sudowoodo.

"Nice Dodge now counter with Thunder Punch." Sudowoodo hits with one of his branch arms coated in electricity straight into Oshawott's face, sending the water type pokemon from Unova flying into a rock pillar smashing straight through it. Oshawott got up and was ready to fight some more, "I felt worse from… from… PIKACHU's Thunderbolts!" Oshawott shouted to keep his confidence up as best he could. Which made Sudowoodo confuse and Pikachu sigh, "There he goes again." Ash did not hear Pikachu's comment as he said to Oshawott.

"Oshawott Aqua Jet quickly!" Oshawott nodded and jumps into the air coated in water which is propelling him through the air towards Sudowoodo. Brock says to his rocky tree, "Counter with Double Edge." Sudowoodo charge full speed at the water propelled Oshawott flying toward him on a collision course. The collision knocks both Pokemon back and hurt from the impact, but Oshawott was not done with Sudowoodo just yet, "Take my Ice Beam attack." Oshawott shouted as he fires cyan color bolts of freezing energy. Oshawott was using Ice Beam and it hit its mark doing serious damage to the fake tree Pokemon.

Brock command Sudowoodo to use his Stone Edge attack. Sudowoodo forms many sharp stones and launches them all at Oshawott who just landed on top of a rock pillar, but lost his balance and fell behind it which shielded him from the attack. "Don't give up Sudowoodo. Smash through and hit him with another Thunder Punch." Sudowoodo nodded and charged towards the pillar Oshawott was hiding behind. With all Sudowoodo's strength, he smashes the rock into pieces which scared Oshawott who was just recovering from falling on his head moments ago got an electric branch punch to the face sending him flying into another rock pillar smashing into bits. The pieces fell on top of Oshawott burying him.

"OSHAWOTT!" Ash cried out for his Pokemon to see if he is okay and fit to fight anymore in this battle. Ash saw moments later Oshawott resurface in bad shape, but his will to win was keeping him in this fight, "I- Refuse! To be a LOSER anymore!" Oshawott shouted, "Alright Oshawott lets finish this up, use Hydro Pump!" Oshawott did not argue with Ash, Oshawott let out a battle cry as he moves his arms around to gather a large amount of water for the strongest water attack in his move set. Once all the water was gathered up for the attack, Oshawott unleashed his Hydro Pump attack. A large stream of water, tall as the one using the attack hit Sudowoodo and push him back with enough force to easily smash through 2 rock pillars and pin to the third until the attack was over. Once the Hydro Pump attack was over Sudowoodo fell to the floor fainted and unable to fight anymore,

"Sudowoodo is unable to battle, Oshawott wins," Forrest said as his brother return his Sudowoodo and told what a good job he did and should enjoy a long rest, "Good job Oshawott," Ash said to his Pokemon who nodded back in response. Brock already pick his next Pokemon and was ready to toss it, "Alright Ash lets see you and Oshawott match my Golem." Brock summons his Golem which was the same Geodude he had for so long, but now it evolved into its final form. Ash did what he did with the first Pokemon Brock had chosen, which was to pull out his Pokedex.

"Golem, the Megaton Pokemon and the final evolve form of Geodude. Golem is known for rolling down from mountains. To prevent them from rolling into the homes of people downhill, grooves have been dug into the sides of mountains to serve as guideways for diverting this Pokémon's course. Its body can survive dynamite blasts without a single scratch, but it hates rain and humidity due to being a Rock and Ground-type."The Pokedex said to Ash as Brock told Golem to use his first move,

"Golem use Thunder Punch." Golem rolls closer so he can get in range to use his Thunder Punch attack. Oshawott knew he was in no shape to face Golem head-on. In fact, he doubts if he was at 100% he be able to stop this giant rocky Pokemon in its tracks. So he decides to run away to find shelter and get out of the Golem's field of view to buy some time to regain some strength to be able to fight back. Ash figured out what was Oshawott's plan was and knew the best move to give Oshawott time and get him out of Golem's view in one single attack,

"Oshawott jump into the air use Ice Beam on the floor." Oshawott was confused about what Ash was thinking? Oshawott decides his trainer's plan was better than anything he's got so it would not hurt to try it. Oshawott jumps into the air with the strength in his tiny legs and fires down cyan color bolts of ice energy, which propelled him up a bit but more importantly form a large pillar of ice in Golems road to Oshawott.

Golem slams into the ice pillar forming cracks but not breaking through it. Golem decided to use it's Thunder Punch attack to destroy the ice pillar leaving only small ice chunks on the battlefield. Golem and Brock look around but saw no Oshawott insight,

"Your not one to play hide and seek Ash." Brock comment as he knew Ash really well, but sometimes the younger trainer can surprise him. Ash responses back to Brock with,

"I will admit it's not my plan but I decided to trust Oshawott's judgment. He knows he can't match Golem in a battle of strength, especially in his physical condition." Brock nodded and remembers how Ash finally bested him by having Pikachu use Thunder Shock on Brock's soaked Onix from the sprinklers of the gym. With the win falling right into his hands he forfeited the match. Ash says that the sprinklers going off was an accident and refuses to win any other way but his own.

That moment Brock knew Ash was not like most trainers, most trainers in his shoes would have just taken the win without a second thought.

That was the reason Brock gave him the badge, not out of pity but faith the boy would not settle for anything but the best he can be. That boy has grown up but has not changed that determination to settle only for the very best he and his Pokemon can do. Brock knew a way to bring Oshawott out and into the open, "Golem use Earthquake to draw Oshawott out." Golem nodded and hops into the air and stomps down hard onto the rocky arena creating a powerful shockwave that travels all around himself. This attack destroyed many rock pillars that got hit by the shockwave. After many pillars being blown up, Oshawott pops into the air only a foot or 2 away from Golem.

"Strike Oshawott quickly with a Thunder Punch," Brock said to Golem who was already moving closer to get in range for his attack. Once in range, Oshawott was sent flying by an electrically charged punch to the face. This sent Oshawott flying and was caught by Ash and he saw Oshawott was unable to fight anymore. Ash told Oshawott he did a great job as Forrest said,

"Oshawott is unable to battle, Golem wins." Ash returns Oshawott and puts the Poke Ball on his belt before selecting his next Pokemon. After some thinking Ash decides on his next pokemon, "Sceptile I choose you." Sceptile appears and with his twig in his mouth and was ready to slice and dice this Golem. Ash knew what Sceptile's first move will be, "Sceptile attack Golem with Energy Ball." Sceptile nodded and started to focus green energy between his claws that started to take the form of a sphere. And once the size of the sphere was of a beach ball Sceptiles launches it towards Golem. The attack hit and did serious damage to Golem.

"Golem attack with Rollout." Golem curls up into his rocky spherical shell and starts spinning in place picking up speed. Once at top speed, he rolls fast towards Sceptile. "Sceptile use Dragon Pulse," Ash commanded of Sceptile. Sceptile fires a stream of rainbow energy that forms a dragon head that bites down on Golem. The attack did not stop Golem from coming towards Sceptile and knocking him back. Sceptile crashes into a rock pillar before being able to stop himself from sliding back. Ash decides to use Sceptile's speed to overwhelm Golem with attacks,

"Sceptile attack Golem with a barrage of Leaf Blades." Sceptile nodded and turn the leaves on his wrists into long sharp green energy blades before dashing towards Golem. Golem got hit by many Leaf Blades before he was able to counter one with his Fire Punch attack. This sent Sceptile flying holding his right arm that got licked by the flames from the Fire Punch attack. The burning feeling was horrible for Sceptile due to being a grass type, but in spite of this Sceptile stood refusing to let being licked by flames stop him from defeating Golem. Ash decides to gamble on Sceptile's next attack,

"Sceptile start charging up to use your Solar Beam attack." Sceptile did not hesitate as the balls along Sceptile's back started to glow lime green absorbing and building up Solar energy to fire at Golem once fully charged. "I won't give you a chance. Golem stop Sceptile from completing his charging with Stone Edge." Brock said as Golem starts to form sharp rocks around himself before launching them all at Sceptile. The jungle lizard hops from rock pillar to rock pillar avoiding the sharp rocks with only a few grazing his sides before he hops over Golem landing behind Brock's Pokemon.

Shortly after landing on solid ground Sceptile yelped at Ash letting him know he was fully charged and ready to fire. Ash smirks and gives his Pokemon the green light by shouting, "FIRE NOW SCEPTILE!" From Sceptile's open mouth a powerful stream of concentrated solar energy that hit Golem right in his face since he turned around to face Sceptile, to only get Solar Beamed in the face. Golem was push back by the beam and once the beam was over he rolled back a bit before stopping body up and eyes were now swirls showing he was out cold.

"Golem is unable to battle, Sceptile wins. Sorry, brother." Forrest said feeling bad at the fact his brother is losing. Brock smiled back to Forrest, "Don't worry. This battle is far from over. It still either trainer's game." as he holds the Poke Ball that contains his next Pokemon. Once out of its Poke Ball it was, in fact, an Archeops, the oldest and first bird Pokemon to walk this earth. It was a raptor who had wings for arms that allow it to take flight. This fossil pokemon looks battle-ready and battle-hardened, so Ash pulls his Pokedex to get some information on this pokemon from his trusty Pokedex,

"Archeops the First Bird Pokemon and the evolved form of Archen. Said to be an ancestor of bird Pokémon, the muscles it uses to flap its wings are still weak, so it needs a long runway in order to take off. This ancient Pokémon's plumage is delicate, so if anyone other than an experienced professional tries to restore it, they will fail at restoring this Pokemon to the land of the living."

Archeops hops up flapping its wings to get air born so it can face the jungle lizard. Meanwhile, with Brocks family, a small blue four-leg creature with a fin on his head and orange spikes on his cheeks walk through the kids' legs so he watches Ash vs Brock from a better spot. It seems this young Mudkip had his eyes seem to be focused on Ash and his Sceptile. Lola notice this and said to Flint,

"Mudkip seems to be drawn to Ash." Flint looks and nods in agreement, "Once the match is over we will see if he just a fan or wants to join the young lad." Lola agrees as her gaze returns to see the bird of the sky face the lizard of the jungle. Ash told Sceptile to use Bullet Seed since unlike Golem Archeops will be harder to hit due to being more mobile. So Ash thought an attack that can hit multiple times be a good way to test Archeops and see how good he is in the sky.

From Sceptile's mouth came a barrage of green energy seeds that were aimed at the hovering Archeops. The fossil Pokemon was pretty good in the air but some seeds did hit and sting the first bird Pokemon. Brock said to Archeops,

"Strike back with Aerial Ace," Archeops started to pick up speed towards Sceptile ready to slam into him. Sceptile hops over the fist birds attack. Archeops saw this coming and once he was close to the ground he started to run across the ground to keep his speed up. Archeops jumps to a Rock Pillar and spring load its legs off it. Shortly after he lets his legs spring back up to launch himself towards Sceptile. Sceptile heard something coming closer to him so he turns around and gets slammed into the chest by Archeops' Aerial Ace attack. Sceptile responds back by punching Archeops with his claw coated in electric energy.

Both Pokemon got some distance between each other as wonder what their trainer's next command. After some thinking, Ash said, "Sceptile attack Archeops with Energy Ball." Sceptile nodded and launches his attack towards Archeops, but Archeops avoids the attack as it flew past him to the window. The Energy Ball flew out the window and hit the Egg-Drone causing it to blow up into many pieces. After losing the video feed Egg-man was very angry and start screaming out words to rival that of an angry sailor. He started to toss around stuff or just breaking it to let his anger out. Orbot sighs knowing he and Cubot will have to clean up their maker's made on his rampage.

Back in the Pokemon world, Archeops was charging to Sceptile coated in blue energy since Brock told him to use Head Smash. Ash commanded Sceptile to attack back with Leaf Blade. When Archeops got closer Sceptile use one of his green wrist blades to slash at the charging bird raptor. Archeops avoided the attack by hopping over it and leaning his head back before swinging it forward to hammer down on Sceptile's head like it was a nail. Sceptile was hurt by this attack but was still standing even though he needed to rest and his eyes started to feel heavy. Ash recognizes this and decided what he needed to do for Sceptile,

"Return Sceptile." Aiming Sceptile's ball at Sceptile as a red light formed from the button on the PokeBall that hit and coated Sceptile. Seconds later Sceptile was turned into energy and return to the metallic sphere in his trainer's hand. Ash told Sceptile he did well and he earned a long rest as Ash put Sceptile's Poke Ball away. Ash brought a new Poke Ball which contained a Pokemon from the Hoenn region but had a much colder fighting style. The Pokemon Ash picked was Glalie and

this Ice-type Pokemon looked ready to show Archeops the power of the ice age.

"Glalie attack Archeops with Ice Beam." From Glalie's mouth came cyan bolts of ice energy that flew towards Archeops, landing dead on. Ice Beam did serious damage to Archeops but he was not finished yet, "Archeops hang in there, Attack with Steel Wing." Archeops flys closer to Glalie so he hit him with one of his wings now coated in steel energy. Glalie got hit by one of Archeops' wings, but quickly responded back by crunching down on the wing once the steel energy faded away. Archeops cried out in pain as he was spun around by Glalie before being tossed to the ground. Archeops was trying to get back on his feet, but Ash wasn't going to let Archeops fight anymore in this battle,

"Glalie finish off Archeops with a Blizzard." Glalie did as he was told and unleashes a mighty blast of arctic winds down on top Archeops, who took the full force of the ice attack. Archeopes was on the floor knocked out cold, "Archeops is unable to battle, Glalie wins." Forrest said as Ash told Glalie he did a good job as Brock returns Archeops and told to rest from a job well done. Brock knew his next rock type Pokemon will be, "Tyranitar I choose you." brock said as the green dinosaur-like Pokemon appeared and form a sandstorm that surrounds the battlefield, and this storm hurt Glalie since he was neither rock or ground type.

"Now Tyranitar attack Glalie with Fire Punch," Brock said as Tyranitar moves in closer to Glalie and punches the ice type square in the face with its claw coated in flames. The punch sent Glalie flying back slamming through a rock pillar before he was able to stop his momentum. Ash command Glalie, "Use your Ice Beam attack once more." but his Ice Beam got weaken by the sandstorm which only stung the mighty Tyranitar. Tyranitar moved in closer and use Brick Break but Glalie avoid the attack but still got damaged by the sandstorm. Glalie slams into Tyranitar's face with his Iron Head attack doing massive damage to the dark rock type. Tyranitar grabs one of Glalie's horns to keep him close so he can land a Fire Punch into Glalie's face sending him flying through two rock pillars before slamming into the third one and slide to the floor defeated. Forrest called this round of the 6v6 battle,

"Glalie is unable to battle, Tyrianitar wins." Ash return Glalie and told his Ice Pokemon to enjoy his long rest. Ash picked his Infernape who was ready to do battle with Brock's Tyranitar but got hurt by the sandstorm still in effect. "Alright, Infernape uses your Mach Punch attack," Ash said as Infernape dashed at blinding speed to deliver a powerful punch to Tyranitar's face. Tyranitar was sent flying out of the field of vision of Infernape in this sandstorm which not only provides Tyranitar cover but also chip damage on Infernape. Infernape looks around trying to find Tyranitar, but he was not going to see Tyranitar until he is told to attack by Brock, speaking of which,

"Aerial Ace." Tyranitar starts running towards Infernape to pick up speed and once at top speed the dark type jumps into the air with arms spread out like wings as he started to glide through the air towards the fire fighting monkey Pokemon. Infernape saw Tyranitar coming and with quick reflex used Flamethrower to hit the gliding Tyranitar with a stream of flames, but this was not enough to stop the attack as Infernape got hit by the flying type attack. Infernape uses the force of Tyranitar's attack and leans back landing on the palms of his hands. At the same time bends in his legs ready to straight them when Tyranitar thanks to his momentum needed for Aerial Ace takes him over Infernape. With everything in place, it was time to unleash Infernape's final attack

"Infernape end this with Close Combat," Ash said as Infernape let his leg straighten, kicking into Tyranitar's chest hard launching him into the air. Due to using his arms to push himself up for his kicking attack the fighting type was also in the air and facing Tyranitar smirking as he starts to hit Tyranitar with a barrage of punches that Brock's Pokemon was unable to even raise his claws to defend himself. Both Pokemon fell back to the floor but Infernape kept punching the Dark Rock Type Pokemon until the sandstorm faded from the battlefield. The field was cleared once more and so who was out cold from being hit by Infernape over a hundred times due to Close Combat.

"Tyranitar is unable to fight anymore, Infernape wins," Forrest said as Brock returns Tyranitar happy with his Pokemon's performance and should enjoy a long rest. Infernape was breathing heavily, feeling the cost of using Close Combat, none the less Infernape turns and made a cry to show Ash he was able to fight some more. Ash says to Infernape,

"Sorry, Infernape but I am going to return you. I don't want you to going berserk with Blaze." Infernape was disappointed but understood and let Ash return him to his Poke Ball. while Ash put Infernape away, Brock called out his Kabutops. The brown armored aquatic Pokemon with blades for arms looked ready to slice up Ash's next Pokemon. Ash drew the Pokedex and it said with a robotic voice that was male,

"Kabutops the Shellfish Pokemon and the evolved form of Kabuto. Kabutops swam underwater to hunt for its prey in ancient times. The Pokémon was apparently evolving from being a water dweller to living on land as evident from the beginnings of change in its gills and legs. It swims at speeds of roughly 29 knots, quickly closing in on its prey and slashing into them with its scythes to finish them off." Ash knew Brock might have a rock pokemon with the second type being water, so Ash called on his faithful Bulbasaur. The grass Kanto starter appears and Kabutops was amused as he thinks this Bulbasaur will be a nice warm-up.

"Don't underestimate me due to my size," Bulbasaur said but the fell on deaf ears. Brock says to his Pokemon, "Use X Scissors." Kabutops dashes towards the starter pokemon with its arms forming an x. Once in range, Kabutops swings both its arms to form an X. Bulbasaur was not hit since he jumped away from the attack. Ash said to the air-born Bulbasaur,

"Bulbasaur use Energy Ball." Bulbasaur nodded as the attack forms above the bulb on Bulbasaur's back. Once Bulbasaur landed he fired the Energy Ball which hit Kabutops doing nice damage to the fossil Pokemon. Before Bulbasaur could dodge, Kabutops used another X-scissor right into Bulbasaur's face sending him flying.

Bulbasaur landed on the ground and saw Kabutops charging, so Bulbasaur uses Magical Leaf to stop Kabutops' advance. Kabutops sliced through almost all the leaves with a few landed on him and hurting him a bit. Once he was in range, Kabutops did an uppercut slash sending Bulbasaur air born. Kabutops was not done with the grass pokemon as he hops into the air and spiked Bulbasaur into the ground with another X-scissor attack. Bulbasaur slowly got up but was in serious pain, Ash cried out to Bulbasaur, "Bulbasaur hang in there. I believe in you." Bulbasaur felt something pulsing inside him, a feeling he fought against so long ago. This time however Bulbasaur did not fight it as he was coated in blue energy and was glowing. Everyone was surprised that Bulbasaur was evolving? which confuses Ash since he knew that Bulbasaur doesn't want to evolve, so why now?

Bulbasaur starts to grow bigger namely getting slightly longer legs with the bulb on his back turning into a flower bud with big tropical leaves surrounding it. Bulbasaur's body color changing to greenish-blue color was the last change needed for him to become Ivysaur. Ash drew his Pokedex to gain information on his newly evolved Pokemon,

"Ivysaur the Seed Pokemon and the evolved form of Bulbasaur. There is a bud on this Pokémon's back. To support its weight, Ivysaur's legs and trunk grow thick and strong. If it starts spending more time lying in the sunlight, it's a sign that the bud will bloom into a large flower soon. Exposure to sunlight adds to its strength. Sunlight also makes the bud on its back grow larger." Ivysaur stares Kabutops with a look of distaste and said to the fossil, "Come and get me, or you scared because I grew 11 inches taller?" mocking Kabutops who did not take it very well.

"Kabutops calm down he is trying to- Kabutops!" Brock shouted seeing his Pokemon charge blinded by his anger wanting to destroy Ivysaur. Ivysaur smirks and gets into a jump position. When Kabutops got closer, Ivysaur hops up and aiming his bud down on Kabutops, the water pokemon only had time to glance up to get a faceful of Ivysaur's Seed Bomb attack. This knocks Kabutops to the floor and rocketed Ivysaur up who was at the time building energy in his flower bud. Once Ivysaur was at the max height Seed Bomb could take him, from his flower bud a large Energy Ball the size of Golem appeared. Ivysaur aimed it down and fire the Energy Ball at Kabutops causing a massive explosion.

Once the dust was clear, Kabutop was out cold and not going to fight for the rest of the battle. Forrest called this round, "Kabutops is unable to fight anymore, Bulb-Ivysaur wins." Ash shouted to his Ivysaur, "Good job Bulba- I mean Ivysaur, guess I need to get used to saying that." Ash looked at Ivysaur and notice his Pokemon looked ashamed of himself? maybe it was because he needs to evolve to defeat Kabutops? Ivysaur walks to Ash and draws out a vine and presses his Poke Ball's button and returns back inside it without Ash lifting a finger. Ash decided to deal with Ivysaur later, right now he needed to beat Brock's last Pokemon which was Steelix.

A large metal snake with a rock looking body and was 40 feet tall towering over everything in the gym. Ash pulls the Pokedex out and it said to Ash, "Steelix the Iron Snake Pokemon and the evolved form of Onix. Steelix lives even further underground than Onix. This Pokémon is known to dig toward the earth's core. There are records of this Pokémon reaching a depth of over six-tenths of a mile underground. It is said that if an Onix lives for over 100 years, its composition changes to become diamond-like." Ash knew who to call, and his name was Charizard. Sonic appears on the field and start stretching ready for a real Pokemon Battle,

"Who's butt am I going to-" Sonic stopped talking when he noticed Steelix and turns to Ash saying, "Why do I always have to face the big guys?" Ash shrugs and told Sonic to use Flame Charge. Sonic Sighs as he took to the air coated himself in flames before zooming towards Steelix. Sonic slammed into Steelix's head doing nice damage, but the ground steel type use Iron Head to slam into Sonic and squish him between Steelix and the roof of the gym. Sonic was hurt by this but was still able to fight as he used Flamethrower on Steelix forcing the steel type to back away, freeing Sonic and allowing him to land on solid ground.

"Steelix use Stone Edge on Charizard." Steelix formed massive sharp rocks that he launched at Charizard, but the fire flying type was swift and able to avoid the rocks with ease and even fire back a weak Flamethrower that did hurt Steelix a lot. "Alright Charizard end this with a Fire Blast." Sonic nodded and build up flames in his mouth before firing it out into a large Kanji that translate to meaning Big hits Steelix. When the flames calmed down, Steelix fell to the floor defeated. Forrest called this battle,

"Steelix unable to battle, Charizard wins. The winner of this match is Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town." Ash and Pikachu cheer with Sonic at their victory. Ash and Brock walk to one another and did their GG handshake. "That was a great battle, Brock," Ash said to his friend who said the same to Ash. Brock's family cheer at the incredible battle between the two trainers as Ash thought. One battle finished, 7 more to win.
