Chapter Twenty-Five: Round Three
Ash has entered the steel field and is marveling at it in much the same way that Gary did.
Ash: Look at that, Pikachu.
Pikachu: Pika.
Brock: This is going to be a really strange course to battle on, Ash. I hope that you're up to it.
Ash: Of course I am!
Brock: I wasn't insulting you. I just was making sure that you're prepared.
Ash: Well, I am. Let's go, Pikachu.
(They both walk away from Brock and climb up onto the trainer platform.)

Bayleef: Bayleee!
(He extends the vines out of his next and reaches up for the cable.)
Ash: Faster Bayleef!
(Bayleef pulls himself out of reach just in time. Machoke slides on the steel and falls into one of the pits upside down.)
Ash: Stay there, Bayleef. Now charge up your solar beam!
Bayleef: Baaaayyyyy!
(He starts absorbing sunlight.)
Kevin: Machoke, get out of there!
(Machoke is unable to flip himself out of the pit.)

Bayleef: Bay!
Ash: Great! Fire the solar beam at Machoke!
Kevin: Machoke, do something!
Bayleef: Bayleeeeeeeef!
(The solar beam fires.)
Machoke: Chooooo!
(He launches himself into the air pushing against the bottom of the pit with his arms. The solar beam hits the steel and is reflected back at Bayleef. He is knock off the cable to the ground.)

Bayleef: Bayyy!
(He is weakened.)
Kevin: Now hot it with a mega punch attack!

Kevin: What is he hoping to achieve by running up there?
Machoke: Machoke?
Ash: Pikachu, use thunderbolt!
Pikachu: PikaCCHHUUUUUU!
(The thunder bolt goes through the cables, down the spikes and covers the entire field.)

Ash: Pikachu, jump to the ground!
Pikachu: Pika!
(He jumps off of the cable to the ground.)
Ash: Electric attacks won't work with this thing. I've got it! Pikachu, get Electrode to chase after you and run toward me!
Pikachu: Pika?
Ash: Just do it.
Pikachu: Pika. (at Electrode) Pika Pika! Pikachu!
Electrode: Electrode? Electrode!
(He starts chasing after Pikachu for teasing him.)
Pikachu: Pika pi! Pikachu?
Ash: Just keep running towards me!
(Pikachu keeps running with Electrode rolling only a few inches behind him.)
Kevin: What's he doing?
Ash: Now jump Pikachu!
Pikachu: Pika!
(He leaps into the air. Electrode falls into one of the large pits.)
Kevin: No!
Ash: There's no way that he can get out now.
Pikachu: Pika...
Ash: No! Save your power for the next match. Electrode isn't going anywhere.
Referee: Electrode is unable to battle. Pikachu is the winner!
Kevin: Only one more. I didn't want it to have to come to this. Steelix go!
(Steelix appears on the field.)
Steelix: Yeeeeee!
Ash: No! Not that!
Referee: This is a match between Ash Ketchum's Pikachu and Kevin Carey's Steelix. Begin!
Ash: Pikachu get up onto the wires!
Pikachu: Pikachu!
(He quickly runs up a large spike onto the wires.)
Kevin: Like that is too high for Steelix? Get him Steelix!
Ash: Pikachu use your most powerful thunder!
Pikachu: PikaCHUUUUUUUUU!
(The thunder completely covers the field and goes all through the stadium. When it all hits Steelix, it does no damage at all.)
Kevin: Now to get rid of the Pikachu. Steelix use your crunch attack!
Steelix: Yeeeee!
(He opens his mouth wide and gets ready to bite Pikachu.)
Pikachu: Pika!
(He runs away and back to the trainer platform.)
Referee: Pikachu has retreated. Victory goes to Steelix!
Ash: I know that there was no way that you could have beaten that Steelix, Pikachu. Good try.
Brock: I guess it's time for Charizard, huh?
Ash: He may work. But I've got a better plan. Go Totodile!

Kevin: What is he doing?
(Steelix dives at Totodile, but Totodile just jumps to the next spike and Steelix hurts himself.)
Kevin: Keep going at it, Steelix!
(Steelix keeps on diving at Totodile, and he keeps on dodging the attacks. It wears Steelix down a lot.)
Ash: Totodile, jump into that small pit next to you!
Totodile: Dile!
(He jumps into a narrow, but deep pit.)
Kevin: You've got him now, Steelix. Grab him out of the hole!
Steelix: Yeeee!
(He starts to go at the hole, but it is too narrow for his head to fit in.)
Kevin: Try to crack the steel with your crunch attack!
(Steelix opens his mouth wide to prepare for the attack.)
Ash: Now Totodile! Use water gun!
Totodile: Totodile!
(He sprays water into Steelix's mouth and it goes through his entire body. Steelix collapses in pain.)
Referee: Steelix is out of the match. Victory for this battle and the round go to Totodile and Ash Ketchum!
(Totodile jumps out of the hole and starts dancing all over Steelix. The crowd starts applauding him.)
Ash: Great work Totodile!
GARY'S BATTLE...
When Gary sees the fire field, he is dumbfounded. The gigantic flamethrowers are bigger than he expected. He and Misty approach the trainer platform.
Misty: Do you think that you're ready for this field?
Gary: Yeah. Like I said in the first round, I'm much better at ground battles.
Misty: Well, good luck.
(She kisses him and walks over to the side bench with Togepi.)

(He starts to charge at Arcanine.)
Gary: Arcanine use your fire spin to stop it!
Arcanine: Arrccc!
(He shoots out fire and it surrounds Rapidash. But Rapidash just plows right through it. He jumps on Arcanine and stomps on him.)
Gary: Arcanine, no!
Tom: Now Rapidash, use body slam!
Rapidash: Nnnnhhhhh!
(He slams down on Arcanine and hurts him badly. Arcanine is now pinned to the ground.)
Tom: Finish it off with a horn drill!

(Donphan appears on the field.)
Donphan: Phhaaa!
Referee: This is a match between Gary Oak's Arcanine and Tom Briggs' Donphan. Begin!
Tom: I'm counting on you, Donphan!
Gary: Arcanine is weakened, but Donphan can't last long in these flames. His thick skin will protect him some.
Tom: Use your rollout, Donphan!
Donphan: Phaaaan!
(He curls up and starts rolling toward Arcanine.)
Gary: Use your extreme speed attack on it!

(He slams the ground and creates a shockwave.)
Gary: Jump over it!
Arcanine: Arc!
(He jumps up high and lands in the center of the field.)
Gary: There's no way that thing can hold on much longer. The fire's got to be eating away at it. Arcanine, use dragon rage!
Arcanine: Aarrrrrrrrrccccc!
(A twister starts in the fire and gains power as it moves toward Donphan. Donphan is too scared to move.)
Tom: Donphan, do something! Use endure!
Donphan: Phhhhaaan!
(He curls up just as the dragon rage hits him. He is knocked into one of the flamethrowers and is shot into the air from it.)
Gary: There's no way that he'll be able to battle after that.
(Donphan lands and uncurls. He is still capable of battling.)
Gary: What? It must've been the endure attack. He doesn't have much HP left then. Arcanine, use fire spin to finish it off.
Arcanine: arrccc!
(He shoots fire spin and hits Donphan.)
Tom: Donphan no!
(The fire spin completely takes away Donphan's remaining energy.)
Referee: Donphan is unable to battle. Victory for this match and the round go to Arcanine and Gary Oak!
