(The Ketchum's were all having fun sliding down hills on blocks of ice).
Ash: Whoo-hoo-hoo! Yes! Whoo-hoo! Whoa-oa! Whoo-hoo! Yes! Whoo! That was so cool! (They all stand up from their ice cubes).
Pikachu: That was so much fun. (Ash then Points to another Hill). Let us try the bigger hill this time. (They see the hill is Much larger than the way they just came sliding down).
Iris: I think sitting on that ice gave you a brain freeze. It is gonna take you forever to carry that block up there. (Ash then tells her Mockingly).
Ash: Do you not ever get tired of being wrong? (Ash activates the Pokétrix as Pikachu jumps off his shoulder. Then Ash goes hero becoming Sceptile. Then he picks up his Ice Cube and zooms to the top of the Hill. Then he put a foot on the ice cube before announcing).
Sceptile: Presenting Sceptile on ice! (He takes a seat and uses his tail to push himself in the tail). Coming through! (He slides past the Ketchum's but goes out of control. He goes sliding past a man with a hot dog and takes the Hot Dog). Thanks. (He takes a bite of the hot dog. He then sees a hill coming his way). Uh-oh. (But then he goes over the edge). Whoa! (He then slows to a stop in front of a little boy and his mom). Ugh!
Boy: Mommy, why did that weird thing with a tail wet himself? (Sceptile sees that his ice cube has melted into a puddle of water).
Sceptile: Aw.

(Later that night, Iris walks into the RV with Axew and sees Ash on her Computer with Pikachu by his side).
Iris: Uh, hello. What do you think you are doing? (Ash says rhetorically).
Ash: Hmm, is this some kind? Of trick question? (Ash then says using Iris' Laptop), I am gonna go online and check out the new "Smash Bros" blog. (But Iris is not happy about the idea).
Iris: Not without asking me first. That is my brand-new XT-9,000.
Axew: Come on Ash. Would it have killed you to Ask Iris first?
Ash: Okay. May I please use your computer? (But then quickly answers him).
Iris: No way! (Ash was expecting this kind of Answer from her).
Ash: See? That is why I did not ask first. (Ash keeps using her computer until the whole computer goes black. Pikachu gets worried too but stays quiet, not wanting to incur Iris' wrath on him. Ash innocently laughs at this and closes her laptop. Before Standing up and taking the laptop with him into the bathroom, as Pikachu watches, shaking his head worriedly knowing this is not going to go well for him).
Iris: Hey! (Ash closes the Bathroom door and sits on the toilet (Seat down) and opens Iris' laptop to hopefully save himself from Iris' wrath. Before she goes and bangs on the bathroom door shouting at him). Ash, my whole life is on that hard drive! (Ash knows he is in trouble here).
Ash: Ugh. Just one minute! (Then Mohn and Zoroark come to the Bathroom Door).
Mohn: Ash, you need to be a little more responsible. Look what happened in the park.
Zoroark: You know the Pokétrix is not a toy for Sport. (Ash sees that he is not getting out of this one).
Ash: Oh man. (He leaves the bathroom and suggests to them). Hey, I have an idea. Let us all go out and do something as a family. (They all glance at him, before he looks over at Iris). You can even pick this time Iris... anything you want. (Iris lights up a bit at this).
Iris: Anything? (She has a clever idea of how to take advantage of this opportunity and how to torment Ash a bit).
(Later that night, the Ketchum's walk out of a building having attended a Poetry reading. With Iris and Axew having thoroughly enjoyed it. But Ash comes out looking bored and having not enjoyed).
Iris: That was amazing, I love listening to modern poetry, don't you Ash?
Axew: Yes, I enjoyed it very much. What about you Pikachu?
Pikachu: I thought it was a fun idea.
Zoroark: It was certainly a pleasant change of pace. Thank you, Iris. (Iris smiles at hearing the Pokémon's praise while Ash voices his opinion on how the evening went).
Ash: Two words... bor-ing! (Ash walks away with Pikachu, before they find a Poster promoting a wrestling competition, he reads it aloud to himself and Pikachu). "Tough enough to be the champion? Prove it in the ring and win the $150,000 grand prize". (Ash gets an idea). Hello, new computer. (He then walks back over to the others). Well, it is getting late. We would better get back and go to bed. (Mohn has a piece of paper in hand and voices his thoughts on this).
Mohn: Really? They have a great old sawmill here; I was hoping we could check it out.
Zoroark: Same here.
Ash: No, got to go. (Ash grabs Iris and Mohn's hands and pulls them along with him).
(Later, that night in the Northern Star, everyone is asleep. Except for Ash and Pikachu. Ash told Pikachu what happened to Iris' computer and his plan to fix it. Pikachu agreed and swore to silence on the matter. Then Ash sneaks out of bed and out of the RV with Pikachu following close behind him).
(At a Nearby Venue was a wrestling arena. With a large crowd cheering on as the fight in the stadiums continued. Currently there a man of average size and width taking on a man who was a stocky old man with white hair tied in a ponytail, as well as white eyebrows and moustache. He wears a blue shirt under his yellow jacket with a flower pattern, a shirt tied in a knot over a red and white fan. He also wears white shorts and white/blue flip-flops. The Old Man's opponent goes and punches him, only to have no effect on him. As the Man just claps his hands to the sides of the opponent's head, disorienting him and making him go unconscious, losing the match. Then he held his arms up in the air before shouting to the audience).
Man: None of you weaklings can Budge Hala the Kahuna of Melemele Island! (Standing in the back of the Audience seating area was Ash and Pikachu. Ash was smirking confidently for his chances of victory against him).
Ash: We will see about that. (Then he looks to Pikachu and nods at him. Pikachu nods what Ash is going to do and says hoping for the best).
Pikachu: Good Luck Ash. You will need it. (Ash nods back and does what he needs to do).
(Moments later, someone lands behind Hala in the Arena. It was Machamp).
Hala: Who are you supposed to be?
Machamp: They call me Machamp. (Hala goes to punch Machamp but he dodges and pounds Hala to the ground, before picking him and throwing him into the Rope Rings. Hala Bounces off the rings heading for Machamp who just punches him again, knocking him out. As the Referee comes to do his part here).
Referee: One...Two...Three! The winner... Machamp guy! (Moments later two staff members are trying to pull Hala out of the Arena but find it hard with his huge size. Then Machamp sees the referee and asks him).
Machamp: So, where is my prize money? (The Referee scoffs at this saying).
Referee: Prize money? This is an elimination competition. You Need to beat everybody to Win... Ten, or fifteen matches. (Ash finds this problematic).
Machamp: That will take all night. It is already past my bedtime. (The Referee just ignores this saying).
Referee: Talk to Mr. Shaw. It is his show. (Then the previously mentioned Mr. Shaw arrives with a woman in hand. But then Ash's Pokétrix begins beeping).
Machamp: Uh-oh. (Luckily, Pikachu is nearby, signalling Machamp to follow him. And he does follow Pikachu down a hallway as Mr. Shaw tries to approach him).
Mr. Shaw: Wait! Because I want to talk to you! (He chases after Machamp wanting a word with him).
(Ash follows Pikachu into an area with a dumpster and points to it as the Pokétrix keeps beeping, getting closer to turning him back into Ash. Without a Moment's hesitation, Machamp jumps in as Pikachu goes the door just as Mr. Shaw arrives looking for Machamp. Pikachu draws his attention away from the dumpster just as the Pokétrix times out releasing a red flash of light. This gets Mr. Shaw's attention, before Ash appears from the dumpster. Mr. Shaw then Approaches Ash to ask).
Mr. Shaw: Hey, kid, you see a big, bluish-gray guy, Machamp, four arms? (Ash climbs out and dusts himself off).
Ash: Yes, uh, he left for a while, but he will be back. In fact, I am his manager. (Pikachu climbs onto Ash's Shoulder).
Pikachu: And I am his Partner/Co-Manager. (Mr. Shaw laughs at this).
Mr. Shaw: Dirty business, ain't it? Mr. Shaw, event promoter. (He pulls out his business card, as if to give to them, but pulls it back). Man, your wrestler has "headliner" written all over him. (He Puts the card back in his shirt). Where did you find that guy?
Ash: Uh, he just kinda came out of nowhere one night.
Pikachu: Like A Chance encounter.
(Not long after, the wrestling bell rings and another match begins. This Match was between someone called Krabby Man. He got the name due to his right arm resembling a Krabby arm. He was facing Ash who was Machamp again. Pikachu watched from the top area of the seating area. Pikachu now was convinced that he had seen it all. Ash was recovering from a blow Krabby Man gave him, when he pounced onto Machamp's shoulder and put his claws around his neck. But Machamp managed to get himself free and throw Krabby Man to the ground before pounding through the floor, making Machamp the winner. Then another bell rings as another match begins. This match involved a man with only one eye, going up against a very scary individual... A Feraligatr! He roars at the Cyclops Man before grabbing him by the face and throwing him into the table where the announcers sit, smashing it to pieces. Making Feraligatr the winner. Then the Bell rings for another Match to begin. This match had a young teenage boy with light blonde hair and green eyes. His hair has shaved marks on the sides with a ripped design carved into it, with long tousled bangs that cover his right eye. He wears a gray hooded shirt with a red slash resembling a scar on it, a black undershirt with ripped sleeves, ripped black pants and red shoes with gray soles and black laces. He also has a red rectangular bag around his waist. But his most unique characteristic is the Multiple long green spikes bursting from his Shoulders and the sides of his arms, and his needle-sharp hair locks. He goes to fight a guy with glasses, who just kicks him to the ground. The Boy lands hard on his back. When he looks up, he sees the man is jumping to slam him. The Boy responds by hunching over and turning his blonde hair locks into sharp green spikes. The Man winces knowing what is about to happen. Moments later, the Boy and Feraligatr are standing side by side in the ring while the man was on a stretcher with multiple spikes from the boy in his butt. The referee then walked up to the duo and announced to the crowd).
Machamp: Winners for this round... Feraligatr and Gladion! (From the Back of the Audience seating area is Ash and Pikachu. Ash then says confident about his chances).
Ash: Bring 'em on. (Pikachu looks at him a bit worried given what those two are capable of).
Pikachu: Just be careful Ash. Okay? (Ash just keeps smiling confident for his chances).
(At the next match it was between Gladion, who flexes his Spikes a bit and Machamp. While Pikachu watches worriedly given what Gladion did to the man earlier).
Referee: Let us get it on! (He starts the match and Gladion goes after Machamp, as does he to Gladion. Machamp slams Gladion into the Rope Rings, but he bounces off and goes into a Gyro Ball attack heading straight for Machamp. It hits Machamp and he stumbles back a bit as he walks back to his end of the rope rings. Before Gladion lands on them and wraps his arms around Machamp. But then Machamp just goes and rolls onto his Back, slamming Gladion into the ground. Machamp stands back up, but when Gladion tries to, he finds his Spikes have gotten stuck in the floor. Then Machamp puts his foot on Gladion for good measure. Then the referee begins the countdown). One... Two... Three... (The Bell rings, as Machamp won the Match. Then He leaps onto the ropes and puts his hands to his ears as if to encourage the Audience to cheering and applauding him. While Pikachu felt relieved, he made it through another match).
(A little later, Ash and Pikachu were in the break room having a break. Ash was having a Snack while Pikachu tried to relax from the nervousness of seeing Ash in extremely dangerous situations like this).
Ash: This is Quite sweet! Yes, I could adapt to being a wrestling superstar. (Pikachu then points out something to Ash).
Pikachu: Ash please just remember that these competitors can really hurt you even as Machamp. We are just lucky the watch has not timed out during a match and keeps giving you Machamp when needed. (Ash nods acknowledging what Pikachu says. But before Pikachu can say anything else, the door opens and Feraligatr comes in. Upon seeing Ash and Pikachu he says).
Feraligatr: Where is Machamp? (Ash and Pikachu are feeling a little uneasy around Feraligatr. Ash glances at his Pokétrix and sees that it is recharging).
Ash: Sorry, he is not giving autographs right now. Likely if you are good little mutant wrestlers and go away, I will see what I can do.
Feraligatr: You know, kid, you got a big mouth, but so do I. (He then lunges to take a bit out of them!).
(Ash grabs Pikachu and manages to Avoid Feraligatr's attempt to take a bite out of them. Before running out of the Room. Then coming through another Door to the Break room is Gladion, who asks him).
Gladion: What are you doing Feraligatr?! He is just a kid! (He asked wondering why Feraligatr would do that).
Feraligatr: Yes, a kid who manages the guy that kicked your Ferroseed Powered butt. We scare him off, likely the big guy takes a dive. (Gladion smirks understanding Feraligatr's motives here. They split up to search for Ash and Pikachu. Feraligatr looks in the Bathroom area, ripping up curtains, but does not find them. Ash and Pikachu take this chance while Feraligatr is not looking to run out the door and into the hallway. Ash keeps running with Pikachu on his Shoulder. With his Pokétrix recharging he could not go hero and save him and Pikachu. But that became the least of their problems when Ash bumped into someone and fell to the floor. That someone was...).
Ash: Ugh! (... Gladion. He goes and fires a Pin Missile like attack at Ash and Pikachu. They manage to dodge it in time. But then the nearby wall busts open and Feraligatr walks out. Towering over them both. He snaps his jaws at them, not intending to harm them as he runs away from them both. They smiled at each other, both convinced they scared Machamp's "Manager" into leaving which will result in their victory over Machamp).
(A Short time later, both Gladion and Feraligatr walked into another, only to come face to face with a bunch of men wearing trench coats and Black shades, giving them a dangerous vibe).
Grunt: Well, looky here. The Freak show has come to town. Ferroseed Boy and Feraligatr Man.
Gladion: What do you want? (The Man cuts to the chase with his warning to them).
Grunt: Viper wants to make sure you understand what happens if you do not win.
Gladion: That prize money is as good as ours. Do not worry.
Grunt: Oh, I am not worried, but you should be if you disappointed Viper.
(Now the bell rings and the next Match is about to begin. As the announcer says).
Announcer: Ladies, and gentlemen, this championship match is set for one fall, winner take all, for the $150,000,000 grand prize! Entering the ring... Feraligatr! (Two machines shoot a bunch of Confetti and smoke as Feraligatr appears from the smoke wearing a Blue Cloak with a hood. He takes the cloak off and roars at the Audience. Then another set of machines shoots a geyser of Confetti and smoke into the air. As Ash now Machamp again leaps out of the tunnel). And his opponent... the one, the only Machamp! (Machamp stands up and raises his hands into the air for the crowd as confetti falls on him. Moments later both Machamp and Feraligatr get on the Stage and glare at each other).
Machamp: You are a very tough guy when you are chasing after kids. Let us see how you do against me.
Feraligatr: I am gonna drop you like a bag of dirt. (They press their heads against each other).
Referee: Go to your corners and come out fighting at the bell. (But they do not even budge an inch from each other, as they keep pressing their heads against each other. Then the referee just gives in and begins the match. From his Spot in the audience seating, Pikachu gulps heavily, hoping Ash will win and survive the Match ahead of him).
Pikachu: Here we go. Good Luck Ash. (Machamp and Feraligatr grab each other by the shoulders as Machamp throws Feraligatr to the rope rings at which he bounces off and lands on the floor. Then Machamp comes and then grabs his legs. Feraligatr remembers everything that is dependent on him and Gladion winning the tournament).
Feraligatr: Losing is not an option. I have too much riding on this. (He manages to free himself from Machamp's grip and flings him off and across the ring. Feraligatr comes up behind Machamp and hooks his arms under Machamp's top arms and begins squeezing his head together. But Machamp frees himself and spins Feraligatr around until he turns it around and ends up spinning Machamp around before tossing him to the rope rings. Machamp recovers before realizing that Feraligatr is coming for him. But he dodges causing Feraligatr to crash into the Corner Post, causing him to stumble back and collapse in the center of the ring. But then Machamp gets an unpleasant surprise when he feels something pricking him in the butt).
Machamp: Ow! (He sees Gladion jumping on the Rope Rings and says to the referee). Hey, two against one! That is not fair! (But the Referee mocks him saying).
Referee: Oh, like somebody having Four Arms instead of two?! Are you gonna wrestle or flap your gums? (Machamp pulls the Spikes out and at once feels woozy, his vision is going hazy. He can see a smirking Feraligatr standing beside the referee. He stumbles back and forth before collapsing before Mr. Shaw and the other person at the table with him. He laughs and says).
Mr. Shaw: Do you not just love show business? (Then both Gladion and Feraligatr go and pull Machamp back into the arena. They turn him over, so he is chest up and they jump on him. Gladion goes first and then Feraligatr. Pikachu watched horrified at this turn of events).
Referee: One... Two...
Machamp: Oh man. (Ash was about to lose the match and his chance at getting the $150,000,000 grand prize!).
(The Referee was about say "Three" and make both Gladion and Feraligatr the winner of the match when he experienced a sudden surge of strength).
Machamp: Ugh. (Seeing this the Referee stops his countdown).
Referee: No! No Pin! (Hearing this both Gladion and Feraligatr get off Machamp and grab him by the arms, helping him to his feet before throwing him towards the rope rings. But as he nears them, he turns himself around and rushes back to them. He sees hold each other's other, no doubt to get him, but he ducks under them, running to other end of the ring. He uses the ropes there to bounce himself back at them. He knocks them both down and holds them down as the Referee does the counts down on them). One... Two... Three... (The crowd cheers for Machamp as he has won. While Pikachu feels relieved that Ash made it out alive). The winner and champion! (The Pokétrix suddenly begins beeping and Machamp knows it is time to get out of here).
Machamp: Got to go. Give my check to my manager. (With that Machamp leaps out of the arena with Pikachu following close behind).
(A Little Later, Ash and Pikachu were with Mr. Shaw outside the venue. He gave Ash the Check for the Prize Money they earned).
Mr. Shaw: Good show, kid, kinda wish your boy would have stuck around to take a couple bows, though.
Ash: Yes, well, he is shy about that kind of stuff. (With that Ash and Pikachu walk away together. Once around the corner, Ash celebrates his victory). Yes! Well, after I buy doofus cousin number one her new laptop, I should still have a bit of extra green left over for me.
Pikachu: Good Job Ash, I am proud of you. But thank goodness you got through this alive and without significant injury. (Ash smiles at Pikachu. But then they hear Feraligatr's voice).
Feraligatr: What are we going to do? (They see both Feraligatr and Gladion at the end of the curb ahead of them. Then a Car pulls up, the window rolls down and one of the men from before is there).
Grunts: Yes, so, you are Freaks and losers. Boy, that is a nice combination. (Feraligatr and Gladion are really worried about what is going to happen now that they lost the prize money they promised).
Feraligatr: Give us another chance. We will get your money. Just do not hurt our mama. (Ash and Pikachu hear this and then get worried and confused from hearing this).
Ash: "Hurt our mama"?
Pikachu: What is going on here?
Grunt: You knew it would happen if you did not win. The boss is gonna turn her into an end table. (They drive off, with one of the back tires in a puddle of mud, leaving a trail as they drive away. Then Ash and Pikachu walk up to Feraligatr and Gladion. They are not too thrilled with seeing him again so soon).
Gladion: What do you want?
Ash: What was that all about?
Pikachu: Is everything okay with you two?
Feraligatr: We got in trouble with a couple of gangsters and owe them money, or they will kick us off our farm. They are holding our mama as collateral. But since we lost the prize money, who knows what's gonna happen? (Gladion scolds his brother for blabbing out their problems).
Gladion: You have a big mouth! Do You know that?!
Ash: Uh, likely We can help, I mean, hopefully Machamp, Pikachu, and I can help. (They are shocked and a little touched by Ash's offer to help. But they have a problem with that).
Gladion: We do not even know where they are holding her. She could be anywhere. (Ash noticed the trail of mud from the car tires and investigated it, with his fingers, as Pikachu whispers to him).
Pikachu: Ash, remember that Place Mohn said he wanted to check out? (Ash thinks about it for a moment before remembering it then he says).
Ash: He said he would turn her into an end table? Is there not some kind of old lumbermill around here?
(Later that night, they arrived at the Place where Ash suspects they will be. Currently, it was dark as they walked through the place. Then Gladion asked him).
Gladion: So, where is that Machamp guy?
Ash: He will be here. He likes to make a grand entrance. (Ash checks his Pokétrix and sees it is still recharging). At least I hope so. (Then a bunch of spotlights shine on them, blinding them due to sheer brightness of it. Then tons of men wielding metal chains and were twirling them like lassoes came from various hiding spots being the Shadows, or behind machines. Then they hear a voice say).
Voice: Looking for someone? What a disappointment you boys turned out to be. (Coming from the Shadows was the man Viper himself. His most noticeable quality was his spiky purple mohawk hair and the Red "R" on his shirt). I really thought you were gonna get me that money. (He walks up to the kids).
Ash: They did. Here. (Ash gives Viper his check. Before glaring at him saying). Now let her go. (But he has other plans of his own).
Viper (Team Rocket): Well, is this not a pleasant surprise. And I have one of my own. (He takes out a switch with a button on top and turns and looks up to see a woman tied to a log with rope at the top of a Conveyor Belt. Gladion panics saying).
Gladion: There's mama Johanna!
Ash: That is your mom?
Pikachu: But she is human.
Feraligatr: Folks say we take after our pa. (Then Johanna says in a scolding Motherly tone).
Johanna: What did I tell you boys about getting in trouble with the wrong folks? (Then both Feraligatr and Gladion say in unison).
Both: Yes, mama. (Viper laughs as he says).
Viper: You did not think I was really gonna let all these witnesses live, did you? (He presses the button on the switch it activates the machine Johanna is on. The log begins moving down towards a buzzsaw that will cut her in half. He then crushes the switch in his grip and drops it to the ground as he tells his men). Finish them off. (The men then go to fight Ash, Pikachu, Gladion, and Feraligatr. The group including Pikachu all break off to fight a different group of men. Ash takes an Iron Bar he found and wields. Feraligatr goes and attacks a group with his Aqua Tail attack. Before grabbing a man before throwing him away, while another man wielding an iron chain twirls it before throwing to Feraligatr. The Chain lands in his mouth, leaving him immobile. As More Men go and attack him, one jumps and punches him, while another hangs onto his arm, and another man grabs him by the waist. Gladion takes down a man, before turning to see a man coming at him with an iron bar, he dodges it before jumping into the air and kicking him to the ground. Then Gladion turns and sees his brother in trouble and goes to help him. But before he can, a Man wielding a Metal chain he is twirling goes and uses it on Gladion. He snares his legs with the chain, knocking him to the ground).
Gladion: Ugh! (Meanwhile Pikachu is having kinda an easy time taking down a group of men on his own. He Zaps a group of them with Thunderbolt. And uses Quick Attack to dodge them when they try to get him with their Chain Lassoes. Before tackling them to the ground with said Quick Attack. Then Pikachu looks over to see how Ash is doing, and he is not doing so well. Ash tries to hit a Man with his Iron Bar, but he dodges and then tackles Ash into a wall).
Ash: Ugh! (Pikachu runs to his side to check on him).
Pikachu: Ash?! Are you okay? (Ash recovers quickly and is okay as he nods to Pikachu to confirm this. Then he and Pikachu look over to see that Johanna is running out of time as she gets ever closer to the Buzzsaw. Then they look and see the Pokétrix is ready to go).
Ash: Time to call in the champion. (Ash goes hero, intending to go and become the Champion of the Ring. The Bright blue flash of light gets the attention of Gladion. Who sees someone other than Machamp).
Gladion: Who are you? Where is that Machamp?! (Ash was not Machamp but rather the Mischievous Deoxys instead).
Deoxys #1: Who needs Machamp... (Ash duplicates himself, resulting in two of him. Then both Deoxys duplicate themselves, resulting in four Deoxys total). When with me you can have eight of them? (They all rush to go and save Johanna. While Pikachu goes back to helping Gladion and Feraligatr in fighting of the men. Before the Deoxys can reach Johanna two of Viper's men cut off their path. But this does not deter the Deoxys. As the first two Deoxys just kneel on the ground and let the other two Deoxys jump off their back into the air. They do a roll in the air before transitioning into a Zen Headbutt attack knocking them down. Before they leap off again with the first two Deoxys following close behind them. They all climb onto the Machine and rush to Johanna's side. Each Deoxys pair takes a side and grabs the rope, hoping to rip it in half. But to no avail, as the log neared closer to the saw. They knew this was not working).
Deoxys #3: All arms on deck. (Each of the four Deoxys multiplied themselves, resulting in a total of Eight Deoxys. The saw begins cutting the log as Johanna screams).
Johanna: Hurry! (The Saw nearing her, as her fear intensified. The Deoxys managed to lift the rope up enough to stop the log from moving).
Deoxys #3: Pull! (The two Deoxys closest to Johanna's head grabbed her and pulled her out of the rope that binds her, saving her as two Deoxys got her to safety while the other Deoxys jumped off the machine. Feraligatr roars as he fights against the bad guys attacking him. But eventually he manages to throw one man off his arm and to the ground, then grabs and tosses the one holding onto his other arm away, before smacking the one on his waist off, and finally chomping the chain in his mouth after the chain behind him and tossing the main holding it over his head to the ground. Then he goes to help Gladion whose legs are bound together by a chain and rips them in half like they were nothing. Seeing this, Viper is not happy in the slightest).
Viper: Aw! So hard to find decent Bad guys these days. Guess I will have to close this Freak show myself. (Then he hears Deoxys say).
Deoxys #1: Not if we can help it. (He turns to see all the Deoxys there together. He goes and then runs to get them, swinging a staff he had at them. But they all dodged it, then four of the Deoxys jumped on him, but it proved useless).
Viper: Ugh! (As he just forces them off him, sending them all flying in different. One Deoxys goes flying into the Same wall Ash did, while another goes sliding across the ground to the first one, while the other two go and crash on the ground nearby).
Deoxys #2: Ugh.
Deoxys #3 and #4: Ugh!
Deoxys #5: He is too big.
Deoxys #6: Think like a Wrestler. We need to use his size against Him.
Deoxys #5 and #6: Tag team times eight! (Then all the Deoxys float about the area to do their part, leaving Viper confused about what they could be planning. One Deoxys goes and stands by a large stack of Logs with a lever. Two Deoxys grab a log hanging by a chain. Another Deoxys grabs a wheelbarrow. Next a Deoxys grabs a Vacuum, while another Deoxys goes up to Viper to make Raspberry sounds and faces at him).
Deoxys #7: Pbht! (And Viper takes the bait, as he chases after Deoxys. He follows Deoxys to the Stack of Logs).
Deoxys #8: Now! (The Deoxys already there pulls the lever causing all the logs to fall towards Deoxys and Viper. Deoxys dodges it but Viper is not so lucky).
Viper: Aah! (He jumps and tries to run across the stack of logs leaving him vulnerable and ready for the two Deoxys with the log hanging by Chains. They throw the log to him, but he sees it coming too late as it strikes him hard). Ugh! (Viper goes flying into the wheelbarrow one of the other Deoxys is waiting with. The Deoxys with the Wheelbarrow goes and pushes the wheelbarrow around before ramming it into a log, sending Viper screaming and falling to the ground in front of the Deoxys with the Vacuum. He smirks at a nervous looking Viper).
Deoxys #1: Oh, yes, another one bites the sawdust. (He shoots a bunch of Sawdust from the Vacuum in Viper's Face. Making him stumble back before a Deoxys comes up behind him and bends over to make Viper fall on his Back. From a Pillar above them is another Deoxys who says).
Deoxys #2: From the top rope. (He goes and jumps before slamming himself on Viper's stomach making him wince in pain).
Viper: Ugh! (Then he passes out, resulting in a K.O!).
Deoxys #2: The winners and still Champions! (Then Gladion and Feraligatr come up to him with Pikachu by their side wanting to ask since they noticed someone missing).
Gladion: Where's Ash? (Deoxys tells them humorously and sarcastically).
Deoxys #1: That kid is never around when you need him.
(The Following Morning, the Police have arrived and are arresting Viper for his crimes. As Ash, Pikachu, Feraligatr, Gladion, and their Mother Johanna are together).
Feraligatr: Your wrestlers are amazing. Do you manage a ton of guys?
Ash: Um, just ten... And counting. (Pikachu then jokingly adds).
Pikachu: You should see them; they are just as incredible as Machamp is. (Feraligatr and Gladion then turn to their mom and remember how this was all their fault and feel quite guilty about it).
Feraligatr: We are sorry, ma. We never should have gotten involved with those guys. We thought we were doing the right thing.
Gladion: And now we still do not have enough to save our farm. We are still $150,000 short.
Johanna: Well, at least you boys fessed up and took responsibility for your actions. (She said with a small smile, showing that although she is disappointed, that her two boys got involved with bad people, she is at least proud they took responsibility for their mistake like real men and that she still loves them no matter what. Ash hearing that, feels guilty too and knows what he must do here not just with Feraligatr, Gladion, and their mother but also about hiding what he did from Iris. Then he took the check he gave Viper but took back from him out. Pikachu realizes what Ash is about to do here. But before he could say anything, Ash beats him to the punch).
Ash: Here. (He gives the check to Feraligatr).
Feraligatr: The prize money? We cannot take this. Machamp won it fairly. (But Ash refuses to take the check back knowing their problems are bigger than his own).
Ash: Trust me, you need it more than he does. (Pikachu smiles at Ash happy for his good deed here).
Gladion: I do not know what to say. (Gladion smiles too, feeling happy about it as he hugs Ash). Nobody has ever been this nice to us. Aw, thanks. (But his Spikes end piercing Ash a bit, hurting him).
Ash: Ouch! Because I had to make friends with a Ferrothorn.
(Later that day, Ash and Pikachu walk back to the Northern Star, with Ash knowing he must come clean to Iris about what happened these past 24 hours. Once inside, Mohn and Zoroark greet them).
Mohn: Morning, Ash, Pikachu. You are up early.
Zoroark: Where have you been guys?
Ash: Not exactly, I have a confession to make. (This gets Iris and Axew's attention as they turn to look from the seat where her computer is. Ash then takes a deep breath and says very quickly, knowing this will not be easy for him). I broke Iris' laptop when I was playing with it, even though you said not to, so I had to figure out a way how to get money to replace it, so I wrestled a bunch of bad guys, but the bad guys did not turn out to be bad guys, so I gave them the prize money, so I cannot replace your laptop, and I am so sorry. (The others could barely understand Ash's explanation because he spoke so quickly, but Iris did hear the important part of the Apology and draws her conclusion from it).
Iris: So, you think you broke my computer? (Ash looks and feels guilty about it and he says to her again).
Ash: Yes. But I am deeply sorry, and I will make it up to you somehow, I know, I can do all your chores. (Iris is liking the sound of this and asks).
Iris: For the rest of the Summer? (Ash knows that he must accept if he wants her forgiveness. So, he does accept saying).
Ash: Yes.
Iris: Word of honor... no takebacks. (Ash nods and shakes hands with Iris as Pikachu jumps to the table besides Axew. Then Ash goes to wash the dishes. Then Mohn and Zoroark see Axew giving Iris a flash drive like device that she plugs into her computer). Thank you Axew.
Mohn: Hey, what is that new doohickey, Iris?
Zoroark: I am curious here. (She smiles as she explains to them).
Iris: Oh, this? It is a fingerprint scanner. That way, only I can start my computer. (Ash and Pikachu's eyes widen in shock at the implications of that. Then he asks).
Ash: Do you mean...I did not break it? (She smiles at Ash again as she answers saying).
Iris: Nope, but it is nice to know that you are so responsible. You better scrub that pan twice. Grandpa's Goomy stew gets majorly crusty overnight. (Ash realizes that Iris' laptop was never damaged, just in sleep mode, and that she tricked him, and worse, he now is stuck doing her chores for the rest of the summer).
Ash: Ugh! Aw, man. (It looked like he was going to be learning his lesson the long and hard way).
