"Graveler, go!" Giselle said as she sent out a rented Graveler in an elegant spin.
"Graveler!? But Rock types are weak against Water types!" Brock exclaimed.
"This Pokemon is at such an advanced level it can beat a Water type." Giselle said with confidence.
Graveler tried to stomp the Starmie but it dodged.
Starmie used Water gun. However, the Graveler just rolled through the stream and pushed on until it hit the Starmie's jewel center, sending it through the window, making it smash and the Starmie flew outdoors straight into the school pool.
"I...can't believe it..." Misty said... (I...was defeated in one hit.)
(Impressive..) Ash thought.
(Not bad.) Brock thought.
Everybody proceeded to the pool.
Giselle said to Misty in a loud calm voice, "Now we're by the pool, - your Pokemon's specialty. You can use a different Water Pokemon if you want."
However, Misty didn't seem to be cheerful at all. Not only was she worried about her Starmie's injuries but she was also completely humiliated by being beaten in a Pokemon battle in one hit by some rich entitled stuck up bratz girl - in front of Ash and Brock. Giselle was definitely getting onto Misty's nerves. She felt hatred rising up to her throat as she gulped and raised her eyes to Giselle while comforting her Starmie.
She answered in an angry voice, " Oh, and SURE you'll choose another Pokemon that's weak against water!" Misty was mad but there was nothing she could do about it.
Giselle put her hands on her hips, and condescendently started her explanation. "Pokemon are only as strong as the Trainer who raises them. A Pokemon that's weaker but better trained can still win. It depends on the trainer."
Giselle siad in a educative tone with a know-it-all smile, "I hope you're learning something from this, Joe!"
"Uh!" Joe did'nt catch on yet.
"A Pokemon's level of training is just an important factor as its type in deciding a match. A first-class Pokemon Trainer can calculate that." Giselle concluded.
Ash grew quite irritated by Giselle's words. Frankly, he didn't understand that basically what she was saying that if you train any Pokemon hard enough, you can win even with a type disadvantage. He decided to make his own comment on the situation. Ash stepped out.
"Wait a minute! There's more to Pokemon Training than calculating levels" Ash said.
"Who are you!?" Giselle asked. She knew that the boy was there all this time but she wanted him to introduce himself since he stepped out.
