Saw!" Chopper cried out to Unfezant.
"A Sawsbuck, huh?" Ash grinned.
Serena asked, "Why would he use a Sawsbuck? They're weak to Flying types."
"Well," Clemont started to answer, "Sawsbuck is also a Normal type and they are not weak to Flying types."
Bonnie spoke up with, "Luffy is clearly like Ash, he trained his Pokemon to be strong and not lose easily because of type disadvantages."
The two older kids agreed.
"Okay, Chopper, use Hidden Power!" Luffy yelled out.
White orbs circled Chopper in an x formation, he brought his forelegs up and stomped them down, firing the orbs at Unfezant!
"Fly towards them and dodge!"
Unfezant flew towards the attack, closed her wings, and dodged each orb that came in her way.
"Aerial Ace!"
Unfezant executed the move upon command.
"Wait for it." Luffy whispered to Chopper.
Unfezant neared Chopper.
"Horn Leech, go!"
Chopper's antlers glowed orange and struck Unfezant from underneath.
"Unfezant are you okay!?"
Unfezant came back, closer to Ash, huffing as she flew, but gave Ash a confident, "Un!"
"Great, now use Gust!"
Luffy stood there confidently with his arms across his chest as the Gust barely seemed to do any damage to Chopper.
"Solar Beam!"
"What!?"
The Solar Beam was quickly charged and easily cut through the Gust, hitting Unfezant in a bright explosion!
Unfezant hit the ground with spirals in her eyes.
"Oh no, Unfezant!" Ash went to his Pokemon and put her in his arms.
"Unfezant is unable to battle, the winner is Sawsbuck!" The referee announced.
"You did great."
"Unfezant," she replied weakly.
"Take a nice rest." Ash returned his Pokemon.
"Hey, ref," Luffy called to the referee.
"Um, yes?" The referee looked to Luffy.
"Can you start calling my Pokemon by their names? And that goes for anyone else that may have named their Pokemon."
"O-of course."
"Thanks, pal," Luffy thanked him and Chopper laughed.
"Alright, time for my next Pokemon." Ash pulled out his second PokeBall. "Go, Tauros!"
Tauros bellowed with a battle cry.
The two Pokemon stared each other down…
"Boy, Ash's Tauros sure does look powerful," Serena said.
"Pika," Pikachu put up a fist, as to say "Yeah he is."
"It was a smart move by Ash," Clemont added. "A Normal type like Tauros isn't weak to Grass moves or other Normal type moves."
"Alright, Tauros, use Fissure!"
"Dodge, Chopper!"
Chopper jumped to the right, away from the white blast tearing through the ground.
"Follow it up with Tackle!" Luffy commanded.
"Horn Attack!"
The two Pokemon collide and lock in to the other.
Luffy chuckled. "Horn Leech!"
Bonnie yelled out, "Move, Tauros!"
"Quick, use Double Team!" Ash advised.
Chopper immediately unlocked with Tauros as the bull Pokemon split into multiple copies, surrounding Chopper.
"De!" Dedenne jumped excitedly.
"Fire Hidden Power around you!"
Chopper did as directed, but the attack didn't dissipate all the clones.
Clemont enthusiastically pointed out Chopper's move was "amazing", he had never seen someone use Hidden Power like that before.
"Use Fissure again!"
The white blast came from behind Chopper.
"Oh no, Chopper!"
Serena stood up with Pikachu, saying, "Yeah, direct hit!"
He was hit by Tauros' attack and fell to the ground.
"What a hit!" The announcer yelled. "But it seems Saws-", he stopped himself, "I mean, Chopper isn't too injured!"
"Energy Ball!"
Chopper fired an Energy Ball at Tauros.
"Run through it with another Horn Attack!"
The Energy Ball exploded against Tauros, but Tauros came barreling through the smoke and hit Chopper!
"Pika!" Pikachu cheered Tauros.
Chopper's hooves slid on the ground and he stopped before he came out of the arena square.
"Use Double-Edge, Chopper!"
"Counter with Take Down, Tauros!"
The two Pokemon collided heads, causing an explosion!
Once the dust settled, everyone saw Chopper breathing heavily, with his head lower than Tauros'…and Chopper fainted, falling to the ground.
"Chopper is unable to battle!" The referee declared. "The winner is Tauros."
The audience clapped and some cheered for Tauros.
"Good job, Tauros!" Ash congratulated. "I hope you're ready for the next one."
Tauros nodded with a quick determined cry.
"Return, Chopper." Luffy called back his Pokemon. "You did a good job. Now, let's go, Aipom!"
"Aipom!" The Pokemon said upon release.
Ash grinned. "No name for this one?"
"Nah," Luffy answered. "Aipom reminds me too much of myself, so I can't name him after me, you know." Luffy laughed.
Ash chuckled. "Alright, I understand. Well, let's see what your Aipom can do. Tauros, use Horn Attack!"
"Wait for it," Luffy readied Aipom.
Tauros bellowed as he got closer.
"Jump and grab his horns, Aipom!" Luffy directed, and Aipom did it successfully, with his tail-hand grabbing one horn and using his paws to grab the other.
Ash growled. "Buck him off, Tauros!"
Tauros started jumping about like a rodeo bull!
Aipom was then thrown into the air!
"Quick, Aipom, use Swift down at Tauros!"
"Oh no!" Ash yelled.
Tauros was hit by the attack and dust hovered around the Pokemon.
Aipom landed in front of Luffy with a confident cry (or whatever that noise he makes is called).
"Fissure!"
The white ground blast rushed towards Aipom!
"Jump and dodge it!"
Aipom dodged the attack to the right.
"Follow it up with Take Down!"
Tauros rushed Aipom.
"Grab onto his horns again!"
Aipom grabbed onto Tauros' horns once again and Tauros jumped around once more, putting Aipom into the air a second time.
"Swift again!"
"Brace yourself, Tauros!"
The same thing happened once more.
"Use Horn Attack before Aipom lands!"
"What!?" Luffy yelled.
Tauros bellowed out and struck Aipom with his attack!
Aipom landed in front of Luffy, but winced at the red mark on his stomach; putting his paw over the wound.
The four just stood there, waiting…
Luffy grinned. "Waiting for me?"
"Oh, yeah." Ash smiled.
"Alright." Luffy chuckled. "Jump and use Last Resort!"
"What!?" Ash looked up to Aipom charging with yellow energy.
Then a large star blasted from Aipom straight to Tauros!
"Dodge it, Tauros!"
Tauros dodged the attack, to his right, but the explosion from the attack crashing onto the ground hit the bull Pokemon.
"Get him, with Double Hit!"
Aipom dashed to Tauros and punched him twice with his tail-hand.
"Hit him back, Tauros!"
Before Aipom could jump back, Tauros head-butted the smaller Pokemon back to it's trainer!
"Double-Team!"
Aipom stood and saw many Tauros around him.
"Use Screech!"
Aipom started screaming, causing Tauros to cry out in pain with his 'clones' vanishing.
"Swift!"
The array of stars hit Tauros another time!
"Fissure!"
The same scene played out, with Aipom jumping away from the attack.
"End this with another Last Resort!" Luffy ordered.
"Hurry with Take Down!" Ash retorted.
Tauros hastily charged Aipom!
"Come on, Aipom!"
Aipom fired the star just as Tauros jumped to slam him, causing an explosion to go off in front of both Pokemon.
The two Pokemon slid on the ground from the explosion, Aipom on his back and Tauros on his side.
"Aipom!" "Tauros!"
The two tried to get back up, but both fell back, knocked unconscious.
