Ash hears where the next gym is and runs off to Vermilion City. He comes across the undefeated gym after beating 10 people in a row. After introductions of the way as the ground splits in half.
Aj goes with Ash to he starts with Butterfee "Sleep Powder!" "Dig" Sandshrew dug underground to evade "Rollout" Sandshrew KOed Butterfree.
Ash sends Clefairy "Water pulse" it weakens Sandshrew but doesn't knock it out Aj is glad trained it in water "Huh? But Sandshrews are weak to water" "Use fissure" Clefairy jumps out, of the way "Metronome" It lands on self-destruct, both are down leaving each other with 0 pokemon left.
Training starts again and Ash hears "Huh?" he runs in and sees this "Why are you hurting them! You should be freinds with them!" "Just because I'm tough on them doesn't mean I don't care for them" Team rocket comes in "Not again" "Who are these creeps?" show him his pokemon as Ash suggested. Ash "All your pokemon look super tired" "We live by 'No pain, no gain' " "Pain? You're supposed to make friends"They steal people's pokemon" Aj gets ready to battle "You can't take Sandshrew" the 3 laugh and insult it "GRRRR! LET'S MAKE THEM PAY FOR INSULTING OUR GYM!" He cracks his whip and takes out Ekens and Koffing in a move each. Beating 2 trainers, he just beat 100 trainers "100 wins! We did it!"
After promising they would both be stronger when they next meet the two go their seperate ways.
