Hello everyone, this chapter will cover Ash's battles with Samurai and Sanpei I hope you all enjoy.
The chapter begins where the last one ended Ash's Ninetales and Samurai's Vileplume ice beam and Sludge Bomb have collided creating an explosion Ash and Samurai call for their next attacks.
"Vileplume use Sludge Wave!" Samurai calls Vileplume gives a mighty roar as it summons a large wave of poisonous sludge. It heads towards Ninetales as Ash makes his next command.
"Ninetales use Quick Attack to jump in the air!" Ash calls Ninetales quickly jumps high in the air dodging the Sludge Wave when it does Samurai makes his next command.
"Vileplume fire multiple Sludge Bombs!" Samurai calls Vileplume fires multiple Sludge Bombs towards Ninetailes as they're about to hit the ice fox Ash makes a command.
"Ninetales deflect all of them with Iron Tail!" Ash calls Ninetales roars it covers its nine tails in steel energy and begins to easily deflect the Sludge Bombs when it does Ninetales safely lands back on the battlefield staring at its opponent Samurai makes his next move.
"Vileplume Venoshock!" "Ninetales use Quick Attack to dodge then Zen Headbutt!" Both trainers call Vileplume shoots out the wave of poison at Ninetales the ice fox uses Quick Attack dodging the move. Ninetales then covers its head in Psychic energy as it goes to hit Vileplume Samurai makes a command.
"Vileplume use Toxic!" "Ninetales quick back away!" Both trainers call Ninetales is about to hit Vileplume the ice fox stops itself as it sees Vileplume fire the toxic, Ninetales quickly jumps back successfully dodging the poison when it lands it stares at Vileplume with Vileplume staring at it Ash and Samurai look at each other as well in the stands Misty speaks.
"Neither of them have landed a hit on each other yet" Misty says as Brock speaks.
"Both Ash and Samurai know that the moment either of them land a hit it could do major damage to their Pokemon so they're both approaching this carefully" Brock says with Misty and Leaf nodding back on the battlefield Ash begins to think.
"All me and Samurai have been doing so far is blocking the other's attacks neither of us will get anywhere if we just keep blocking how can I get Ninetales to land the first hit?" Ash thinks to himself he gets an idea he looks at Ninetales and speaks.
"Ninetales use Hail!" Ash calls Ninetales roars summoning the hailstorm when it comes down the Hail begins to hit Vileplume doing some damage to it, but the poison flower isn't fazed Ninetales then goes to hide in the hailstorm Samurai smiles and speaks.
"Not a bad idea Ash but this won't work Vileplume Sunny Day!" Samurai calls Vileplume roars it summons the harsh sunlight getting rid of the hailstorm. When the hailstorm is gone the battlefield is clear as Samurai looks at, the battlefield he sees that Ninetales is gone he gets a shocked look on his face and speaks.
"Where'd Ninetales go?" Samurai questions as he's looking, he sees a hole and speaks.
"Vileplume Ninetales is underground quick jump in the air!" Samurai calls "I don't think so Ninetales use Quick Attack then Zen Headbutt!" Ash calls before Vileplume jumps in the air Ninetales appears it hits Vileplume in the stomach with Zen Headbutt. Ninetales keeps pushing Vileplume until it hits the ceiling Vileplume then begins to fall towards the ground with Ninetales going after it Samurai looks at Ash and speaks.
"I see so you used the Hail as a distraction to hide Ninetales and told it to use Dig so that when we cleared the hailstorm you could surprise us" Samurai says Ash nods and speaks.
"Yep, and now it's time to end this Ninetales use Blizzard!" Ash calls when Ninetales is about to use Blizzard it begins to cough and gets sick, becoming poisoned shocking Ash as Samurai speaks.
"You're not the only one who had a surprise Vileplume use Venoshock then Drain Punch!" Samurai calls Vileplume fires a wave of poison at Ninetales it consumes the fox making it cry out in pain. As Ninetales continues to fall it's now next to Vileplume the poisonous flower's fist glows and punches Ninetales in the face taking its energy and sending Ninetales crashing back down on the battlefield below Ash's feet while Vileplume lands standing feeling refreshed. Ash looks at Ninetales and speaks.
"Ninetales are you okay?!" Ash asks when he does Ninetales nods it struggles to stand back up but does it groans from the poison damage but can still battle, it looks at Vileplume growling at it while Vileplume smiles Ash looks at Samurai and speaks.
"What did you do?! how did Ninetales get poisoned?!" Ash asks as Samurai speaks.
"It's thanks to Vileplume's ability Effect spore" Samurai responds.
"Effect spore? I thought Vileplume's ability was Chlorophyll?" Ash says as Samurai speaks.
"True usually most Vileplume's have the Chlorophyll ability but as you probably already know Pokemon of the same species can be born with different abilities and sometimes their abilities change when they evolve or stay the same. For my Vileplume when it was an Oddish it has the Chlorophyll ability but when it fully evolved it gained the ability Effect spore where if the opposing Pokemon makes direct contact with the user the attacker either gets paralyzed, poisoned or put to sleep. Unfortunately for your Ninetales it was poisoned which made it take more damage when Vileplume's Venoshock landed." Samurai responds as Ash nods Leaf speaks.
"Interesting" Leaf says as she takes out her notebook beginning to take notes Brock then speaks.
"That was smart of Samurai letting Ash command Ninetales to use Zen Headbutt on Vileplume so its Effect spore ability can activate" Brock says as Misty speaks.
"Ninetales can still win right?" Misty asks as Brock speaks.
"I believe so, but Ash will have to end it quick before Ninetales faints to the poison" Brock responds with Misty nodding they continue to watch the battle as Ash speaks.
"You really caught us by surprise Samurai, but my Ninetales is tough it's not going to go down!" Ash states with Ninetales nodding as Samurai speaks.
"Okay then let's see just how long it'll last Vileplume Solarbeam!" Samurai calls thanks to the Sunny Day Vileplume instantly fires the Solarbeam Ash quickly makes a command.
"Ninetales Ice Beam!" Ash calls the ice fox quickly fires the icy beam it collides with the Solarbeam and to everyone's surprise the Solarbeam easily passes through the Ice beam it's about to hit Ninetales until Ash makes a command.
"Ninetales dodge!" Ash calls the ice fox quickly dodges the grassy beam when it does Samurai makes a command.
"Use Sludge Bomb!" Samurai calls Vileplume fires multiple Sludge bombs towards Ninetales they're about to hit the ice fox Ash quickly makes a command.
"Ninetales use Iron Tail to knock them away!" Ash calls Ninetales quickly covers its tails in steel energy and begins to knock away the Sludge Bombs as it's doing that Samurai makes his next command.
"Solarbeam!" Samurai calls Vileplume instantly fires the beam before Ash can tell Ninetales to dodge the grassy beam hits Ninetales in the face creating an explosion. Ninetales flies in the air then comes crashing back down landing on its stomach as it begins to stand up it feels poison damage and begins to pant Ash looks at it and speaks.
"Ninetales are you okay?!" Ash calls Ninetales looks back at her trainer and nods it can still battle but is panting heavily Samurai then speaks.
"So do you still think your Ninetales can beat my Vileplume?" Samurai asks, having a confident smile on his face Ash grits his teeth he grabs Ninetales Pokeball and speaks.
"Ninetales return" Ash says Ninetales looks at her trainer it doesn't want to go but nods in agreement it looks back at Vileplume one more time and growls before going back to its Pokeball Samurai smiles and speaks.
"Good choice in fact I'll switch my Pokemon too" Samurai says returning Vileplume to its Pokeball in the stands Leaf speaks.
"So, they both returned their Pokemon" Leaf says as Brock speaks.
"It was a good thing Ash returned Ninetales if he kept her in any longer, she would've lost and even though Ninetales still wanted to battle I believe Ninetales came to that same conclusion too" Brock says with Misty and Leaf nodding as Misty speaks.
"I wonder who they're going to bring in next?" Misty questions with Brock and Leaf wondering as well they look at the battlefield as Samurai speaks.
"Get ready Ash here's my second Pokemon I'm sure you remember it Go! Pinsir!" Samurai says bringing in the stag beetle Pokemon when it appears it gets into a battle stance. When Ash sees Pinsir he smiles, grabs his next Pokeball and speaks.
"Yeah, I remember Pinsir and I'm confident this one wants revenge Pidgeot I choose you!" Ash says bringing in the bird Pokemon it gives a mighty "PIDGO" it looks at its opponent and gets in a battle stance Samurai looks at Pidgeot and speaks.
"So, your PIdgeotto evolved into a Pidgeot it looks like it has gotten stronger" Samurai says Ash nods and speaks.
"Yeah, it has gotten a lot stronger when you saw it last time and it'll defeat your Pinsir!" Ash states with Pidgeot nodding Samurai smiles and speaks.
"We'll see about that Ash my Pinsir has gotten stronger too" Samurai responds with Pinsir nodding the two boys and Pokemon stare at each other for a few seconds until the ref calls for the battle to begin Ash makes the first move.
"Pidgeot Hurricane!" Ash calls Pidgeot roars, it quickly flaps its wings summoning a big Hurricane it heads towards Pinsir Samurai isn't fazed as he makes a command.
"Use Stone Edge to destroy the Hurricane!" Samurai calls Pinsir stomps its foot on the ground summoning the sharp stones they collide with the Hurricane instantly destroying it surprising Ash and Pidgeot as Samurai makes his next move.
"Now use Swords Dance then Rockslide!" Samurai calls PInsir roars it sharply raises its attack power and summons a big portal over Pidgeot, the bird looks at it and sees large boulders heading toward it Ash quickly makes a command.
"Pidgeot dodge the Rockeslide!" Ash calls Pidgeot nods it begins to easily maneuver through the Rockslide as its doing so Samurai gives a command.
"Use Stone Edge!" "Dodge Pidgeot!" Both trainers call Pinsir stomps its foot on the battlefield again summoning the large sharp stones sending them at Pidgeot. Pidgeot sees it and begins to easily maneuver through the Stone Edge when PIdgeot avoids the last Stone Edge Pinsir appears in front of the bird Samurai makes his next command.
"Use Vicegrip!" Dodge Pidgeot then use Wing Attack!" Both trainers call Pinsir goes to grab Pidgeot with its pincers the bird dodges its wings glow white it's about to hit Pinsir until Samurai makes a command.
"Grab Pidgeot's wing and use Seismic Toss!" Samurai calls shocking Ash Pinsir grabs Pidgeot's wing and begins to spin fast until it throws Pidgeot down towards the battlefield as hard as it can. Pidgeot crashes on the battlefield creating a big dust cloud when the dust clears Pidgeot stands up Ash then speaks.
"Pidgeot Pinsir's above you!" Ash says the bird looks and sees Pinsir above it Samurai makes a command.
"Pinsir Stone Edge!" "Pidgeot dodge with Quick Attack!" Both trainers call Pinsir fires the sharp stones towards Pidgeot but the bird dodges by using Quick Attack. After Pidgeot dodges all of the Stone Edge it appears in front of Pinsir shocking the Stag Beetle Samurai goes to give a command but Ash was faster.
"Pidgeot Aerial Ace!" Ash calls Pidgeot roars it hits Pinsir in the chest knocking it down on the battlefield. Pidgeot flies back in the air while Pinsir groans in pain as it tries to stand back up Ash makes his next move.
"Pidgeot Air Slash!" Ash calls Pidgeot roars it fires the slashes of wind towards Pinsir as they're about to hit the bug Samurai makes a command.
"Pinsir use Protect!" Samurai calls Pinsir quickly summons a protective barrier blocking the slashes of wind. When the Air Slash stops Pinsir's barrier goes away Pidgeot then appears in front of Pinsir as Ash calls for his next move.
"Pidgeot Hurricane!" Ash calls Pidgeot roars it quickly flaps its wings creating a large hurricane sucking up Pinsir the stag beetle Pokemon cries out in pain, when the Hurricane disappears Pinsir starts to fall from the sky Ash makes his next move.
"Pidgeot Brave Bird!" "Pinsir Superpower!" Both trainers call Pidgeot flies towards Pinsir it tucks in its wings becoming consumed in flames it then spreads them out becoming a shiny blue. Pinsir's body has a red outline it bulks up its body raising its fist Pinsir and Pidgeot then collide trying to push the other back. During the clash Pinsir begins to push Pidgeot but the bird doesn't give up it gives a mighty roar it knocks away Pinsir's fist and hits the bug. There's an explosion everyone sees Pidgeot still flying in the air but it takes recoil damage and Pinsir falls on the battlefield knocked out the ref then makes the call.
"Pinsir is unable to battle Pidgeot is the winner!" The ref calls when he does Ash and Pidgeot cheer Samurai returns Pinsir telling it thank you he looks at Ash and speaks.
"Your Pidgeot sure has gotten much stronger Ash I'm impressed" Samurai says Ash nods and speaks.
"Thanks, your Pinsir's gotten stronger too" Ash says Samurai nods he then grabs his next Pokeball points it forward and speaks.
"Now that you've beaten Pinsir let's see if your Pidgeot can defeat this one Go! Golisopod!" Samurai says he throws the Pokeball forward as the bug samurai appears it gives a mighty roar sending out a shockwave almost blowing Ash and Pikachu back, but Pidgeot stands in front of them blocking the wind. When Golisopod stops roaring it looks at Ash's Pidgeot and gets a serious expression on its face with Pidgeot having the same expression in the stands Misty speaks.
"Now that I look at Samurai's Golisopod it looks bigger than mine" Misty says with Brock and Leaf nodding Misty then feels one of her Pokeball's wriggle as her Golisopod appears Misty looks at it and speaks.
"Do you want to watch how Samurai's Golisopod battles?" Misty asks with Golisopod nodding it and the others look back at the battlefield as Ash is thinking.
"Golisopod is next huh? I was thinking he would save it for last well now that it's here I should try and damage it as much as I can" Ash thinks to himself he looks at Pidgeot and speaks.
"Can you still battle Pidgeot?" Ash asks with the bird nodding it spreads its wings and flies in the air Ash smiles he looks at the battlefield the ref calls for the battle to continue Ash makes the first move.
"Let's go Pidgeot use Air Slash!" Ash calls Pidgeot roars it fires the slashes of wind towards Golisopod Samurai makes a command.
"Block it with your arms!" Samurai calls Golisopod covers its face with its arms when the Air Slash hits, they bounce off of Golisopod's arms hitting the battlefield instead Ash makes his next move.
"Okay Pidgeot use Hurricane!" "Golisopod destroy it with Liquidation!" Both trainers call Pidgeot summons the large Hurricane it heads towards Golisopod, the bug samurai isn't scared as it summons two water blades it jumps towards the Hurricane and easily cuts it in half. Ash and Pidgeot are shocked Samurai then calls for his next attack.
"Golisopod use Liquidation again!" Samurai calls Golisopod jumps towards Pidgeot its going to hit the bird as Ash speaks.
"Pidgeot use Aerial Ace!" Ash calls before Golisopod could hit Pidgeot the bird disappears dodging Golisopod's attack it then reappears going to hit Golisopod in the side Samurai makes a command.
"Block it Golisopod then use Poison Jab!" Samurai calls Pidgeot is about to hit Golisopod the bug samurai quickly lifts up its right arm blocking Pidgeot's Aerial Ace. The bird tries to break through, but Golisopods armor is too tough Golisopod then covers its left claw in poison and jabs Pidgeot in the stomach the bird coughs in pain as it's sent crashing back on the battlefield Ash looks at the bird and speaks.
"Pidgeot!" Ash calls when the dust clears Pidgeot stands up it gives a mighty roar ready to continue but it then starts to cough as it's now poisoned Samurai calls for his next move.
"Golisopod Liquidation!" Samurai calls Ash and Pidgeot look up they see Golisopod fall towards Pidgeot holding one big water sword with both hands before Golisopod hits Pidgeot Ash makes a command.

Pidgeot flies high in the air it roars and flies towards Golisopod using Brave Bird Golisopod looks at Pidgeot as Samurai makes a command.
"Counter with Poison Jab!" Samurai calls Golisopod roars it covers its claws in poison and collides with Pidgeot. The two mons begin to fight for dominance Golisopod and Pidgeot try to push the other back, Pidgeot begins to slowly push Golisopod back but it then starts to feel the effects of the poison Golisopod and Samurai notice Golisopod gets its free claw ready as Samurai speaks.

"Golisopod are you okay?!" Samurai asks the bug samurai looks at its trainer and nods Samurai then looks to Ash and speaks.
"That was a smart strategy Ash making Golisopod use its free arm so Pidgeot could back away and land a Brave bird as Golisopod wouldn't have any time to block" Samurai says Ash nods and speaks.
"Yeah, it was the only way I could think of for Pidgeot to land a hit I was hoping Brave bird would do more damage, but it seems like you raised your Golisopod's defenses by a lot" Ash says Samurai nods and speaks.
"Why yes I have now it's time for us to counterattack Golisopod use Dark Pulse!" Samurai calls Golisopod roars it fires a wave of dark energy towards Pidgeot Ash makes a command.

"Let's see how you'll handle this one Scizor Go!" Samurai says he throws the Pokeball and Scizor appears the steel bug gets in a battle stance Ash looks at it and speaks.
"Cool so your Scyther evolved into a Scizor" Ash says with Samurai nodding Ash grabs his next Pokeball and speaks.
"Okay Heracross I choose you!" Ash says bringing out the beetle Pokemon it has a smile on its face ready to battle in the stands Misty speaks.
"So Heracross is next" Misty says as Brock speaks.
"This is good Heracross does have a type advantage against Scizor thanks to its fighting typing but like we've seen already Samurai most likely has ways to counter that weakness" Brock says with the others nodding the ref calls for the battle to begin Samurai makes the first move.
"Scizor Air Slash!" Samurai calls Scizor quickly fires the slashes of wind towards Heracross Ash makes a command.
"Heracross knock them away with Horn Attack!" Ash calls Heracross's horn glows it flies forward easily knocking the Air Slash away. Heracross is about to come into contact with Scizor until Samurai makes a command.

"Heracross use Counter!" "Dodge Scizor!" Both trainers call Heracross's fist glows a bright orange as it goes to hit Scizor the steel bug instantly dodges by moving to the side Scizor stares at Heracross as Samurai calls for his next attack.
"Scizor Air Slash!" "Heracross Protect!" Both trainers call Scizor fires the slashes of wind but Heracross is able to summon a protective barrier in time blocking the attack Samurai then speaks.
"Keep going Scizor!" Samurai calls Scizor keeps firing the slashes of wind Heracross is doing its best to keep the barrier up but it eventually gets tired lowering it when it does the Air Slash hits Heracross the beetle cries out in pain as it's sent flying back towards Ash landing below his feet Ash looks at Heracross and speaks.
"Heracross are you okay?!" Ash asks Heracross struggles to stand up but eventually does it looks back at Ash and nods. Heracross then looks back at Scizor even though Heracross can still battle it starts to pant Ash notices and begins to think.
"This is bad Heracross has already taken so much damage already if I don't do something soon it'll lose how can I make Scizor slower?" Ash thinks to himself while he's thinking he remembers that one of Heracross's moves can slow down an opponent if the attack lands Ash smiles, he looks at Heracross and speaks.
"Okay Heracross I've come up with an idea it's time for our counterattack!" Ash states with Heracross nodding Samurai then speaks.
"I'm not sure what you're planning Ash, but I'll defeat Heracross before you can use the strategy you thought of Scizor Air Slash!" Samurai calls Scizor quickly fires the slashes of wind towards Heracross Ash makes a command.
"Dodge Heracross and use Swords Dance!" Ash calls Heracross manages to narrowly dodge the Air Slash it then sharply raises its attack power Samurai then makes his next move.
"Scizor end it with Bullet Punch!" Samurai calls Scizor quickly dashes forward reaching Heracross as it's about to punch it Ash smiles and calls for his next command.
"Heracross Bulldoze!" Ash calls Heracross quickly stomps its foot on the battlefield shaking it Scizor loses its concentration and balance. When it falls to the floor Scizor groans from the pain and feels its speed decrease. Scizor then sees Heracross standing above it having its fist ready as Ash makes a command.
"Heracross Brick Break!" "Dodge Scizor!" Both trainers call Scizor quickly jumps out of the way when it does Heracross caught up to it the beetle quickly raises its fist and slams on Scizor's head making the steel bug crash on the battlefield Scizor then skids back towards Samurai unconscious shocking Samurai the ref then makes the call.
"Scizor is unable to battle Heracross is the winner!" The ref calls Ash and Heracross cheer as his friends in the stand do too Samurai looks at Scizor returns it and thanks it, Samurai looks at Ash and speaks.
"Tell me Ash how were you able to slow Scizor down?" Samurai asks Ash looks at him and speaks.
"Well, I knew that I couldn't have Heracross keep fighting the way it was as Scizor was too fast so in order to counter that I remember a move Heracross has which is Bulldoze where if the move lands it can decrease the opponents speed and that's all I needed for Heracross to land a heavy blow on Scizor and win" Ash responds Samurai nods and speaks.
"Impressive Ash that was a smart move but the battle isn't over yet Vileplume Go!" Samurai says sending out the poisonous flower again when it appears it gets into a battle stance Ash looks at Heracross and speaks.
"Be careful Heracross this one's tricky" Ash says with Heracross nodding it gets into a battle stance the ref calls for the battle to continue Ash makes the first move.
"Heracross use Bulldoze!" Ash calls Heracross stomps its foot on the battlefield shaking it before it hits Vileplume Samurai makes a command.
"Vileplume jump and use Moon Blast!" Samurai calls Vileplume jumps in the air dodging the Bulldoze it then charges up a pink orb of fairy energy and sends it towards Heracross as the orb is about to hit the bug Ash makes a command.
"Heracross destroy it with Mega Horn!" Ash calls Heracross's horn glows a light green becoming bigger as it collides with the Moonblast. The Moonblast tries to push Heracross back, but the beetle gives one more push and destroys the fairy orb showcasing its power. Everyone is surprised by Heracross's power Vileplume appears in front of Heracross shocking both the beetle and Ash as Samurai makes a command.
"Use Toxic then Venoshock!" Samurai calls Vileplume quickly sprays toxic on Heracross poisoning it Vileplume then shoots out a wave of poison consuming Heracross the bug cries out in pain as Ash calls out to it.
"Heracross!" Ash calls in worry as Samurai speaks.
"Your Heracross fought well Ash, but it's over keep going Vileplume!" Samurai calls Vileplume keeps firing the Venoshock increasing the power meanwhile in the stream of poison Heracross's eyes glow red Ash notices he smiles and speaks.
"Sorry Samurai but Heracross isn't done yet" Ash responds Samurai is confused as Ash makes a command.
"Heracross Focus Punch!" Ash calls Heracross focuses its mind its fist glows a light blue it flies out of the Venoshock shocking Vileplume and Samurai. Samurai looks at Heracross's eyes he sees that they're bright red before he can tell Vileplume to dodge Heracross roars.
"HERA!" Heracross gives a mighty roar and punches Vileplume in the stomach as hard as it can. The poisonous flower coughs in pain and is sent soaring pass Samurai hitting the wall behind him Samurai looks at Vileplume and speaks.
"Vileplume!" Samurai calls out to the mon when he does, he can see that Vileplume can still battle but has taken heavy damage Samurai looks back at Ash and speaks.
"Tell me does your Heracross have the Guts ability?" Samurai asks as Ash nods.
"Yep, thanks to your Vileplume poisoning Heracross it gained an attack boost and landed a heavy blow on Vileplume. Unfortunately, I think that was all the energy Heracross had left in it" Ash says everyone then looks at Heracross they see it get affected by the poison again and lays down on the ground knocked out the ref makes the call.
"Heracross is unable to battle Vileplume is the winner!" The ref calls Ash returns Heracross telling it thank you in the stands Leaf speaks.
"That was a great strategy from Ash taking Samurai by surprise" Leaf says with Misty and Brock nodding they then see Ash take out his next Pokeball he holds it forward and speaks.
"Ninetales I choose you!" Ash says sending the ice fox back in when it appears on the battlefield it's still injured but ignores the pain. Ninetales looks at Vileplume beginning to growl with Vileplume doing the same Samurai looks at Ash and speaks.
"So, you've brought your Ninetales back in do you really think it can defeat my Vileplume with the current state it's in?" Samurai asks as Ash speaks.
"Yes, I do I believe that Ninetales can defeat your Vileplume" Ash states with Ninetales agreeing Samurai nods the ref calls for the battle to continue as Samurai speaks.
"Vileplume fire multiple Sludge Bombs!" Samurai calls the poisonous flower fires multiple sludge bombs towards Ninetales Ash makes a command.

"Vileplume Ninetales is behind you use Venoshock!" "That's not happening Ninetales grab Vileplume with your tails!" Both trainers call Vileplume quickly turns around its about to fire the Venoshock but Ninetales was faster as it uses its 9 tails to grab Vileplume's legs, arms, body and cover its mouth. Samurai is shocked and calls out to Vileplume.
"Break out Vileplume!" Samurai calls Vileplume begins to struggle trying to get out of Ninetales tails, but the ice fox is holding on tightly. While Vileplume is trying to break free Ninetales suffers from poison again it groans from the pain but doesn't let go Ash makes a command.

"Vileplume is unable to battle Ninetales is the winner!" The ref calls Ash smiles he looks at Ninetales and speaks.
"You did it Ninetales!" "Pika!" Ash and Pikachu cheer Ninetales looks back at them having a smile on her face Samurai returns Vileplume telling it thank you he looks over at Ash and speaks.
"I didn't think your Ninetales would be strong enough to take down my Vileplume but I was wrong" Samurai says with Ash nodding Samurai takes out his next Pokeball and speaks.
"But your Ninetales won't last for long Go! Bisharp!" Samurai says bringing in the Sword blade Pokemon it gets in a battle stance and stares at Ninetales Ash looks at Ninetales and speaks.

"FARFETCH'D DODGE!" Ash calls but there's nowhere for Farfetch'd to run as it can't go forward since it's blocking the focus blast and even when it does Bisharp would still catch it. As Farfetch'd is trying to think of a way to dodge Farfetch'd remembers when it was training with Hitmonlee it remembers Hitmonlee training it to use Detect Farfetch'd tried time and time again but was unable to use the move Farfetch'd decided to give up on learning the move as it felt that the move didn't fit its battle style. Hitmonlee then tells Farfetch'd that there will be a time where it will need to use it, but Farfetch'd scoffs it then went on to train with Primeape, Hawluacha and Scyther. Back in the present Farfetch'd now knows that Hitmonlee is right in order for it to get out of this situation it needs to use Detect. Farfetch'd then closes its eyes it begins to concentrate it puts its leek down letting the Focus Blast get closer, everyone is shocked that Farfetch'd did that Ash calls to it while Samurai tells Bisharp to continue forward.

"That's amazing Farfetch'd!" Ash cheers while everyone is still surprised Misty then speaks.
"I can't believe Farfetch'd learned Detect" Misty says as Brock speaks.
"Farfetch'd knew there was no other way for it to dodge so it learned Detect in order to safely get away allowing Bisharp to get hit by its own Focus Blast." Brock says Misty nods as Leaf cheers.
"You're amazing Farfetch'd!" Leaf cheers along with Misty's Sobble, Quaxly and Golisopod. On the battlefield Samurai asks if Bisharp's okay with it nodding Bisharp quickly stands back up getting in a battle stance but groans from the pain Samurai then speaks.

Ash calls before Accelgor can summon the Rain Dance Litten quickly jumps forward and bites down on Accelgor causing an explosion Accelgor skids back when it stops its body is consumed in fire shocking Sanpei as Ash smiles in the stands Misty speaks.
"Nice he used the same strategy he used against Erika" Misty says making Leaf confused as Brock speaks.
"What Misty means is that in Ash's battle with Erika his Vulpix was having trouble dealing with Bellossom's speed because of its Chlorophyll ability. Ash called for Vulpix to use Hail while Erika called for Bellossom to use Sunny Day and in that small window Ash had Vulpix use Quick Attack, freeze it with Blizzard and used Iron Tail to finish off Bellossom" Brock says with Leaf nodding she then speaks.
"But how did Ash know that Sanpei's Accelgor had Rain Dance?" Leaf questions as Brock speaks.

"Fire Fang Litten!" "Accelgor use Hyper Beam!" Both trainers call as Accelgor is about to fire the hyper beam its body is then consumed in fire making the ninja bug yell out in pain Litten then heats up its mouth biting down hard on Accelgor the two mons then fall back in the fire spin. When they land back on the battlefield there's an explosion that gets rid of the fire spin and the Sunny Day goes away. Everyone looks at the battlefield they see that Litten is still standing but panting heavily while Accelgor is laying on its back fainted the ref makes the call.

"Alright! You did it Litten!" "Pika!" Ash and Pikachu cheer Litten looks back at them and smiles in the stands Sprigatito is cheering loudly along with Leaf, Sobble and Quaxly happy that Litten won Misty then speaks.
"It was very close, but Litten pulled through" Misty says with Brock agreeing back on the battlefield Sanpei returns Accelgor telling it thank you he looks at Ash and speaks.
"Not bad Ash I was certain that Accelgor would win but your Litten proved me wrong, I wonder if it can defeat this one go Shiftry!" Sanpei says sending in a bipedal Pokemon that looks to be made of wood and has a long white mane when it appears it gets into a battle stance Ash takes out his Pokedex to scan it.
"Shiftry, the Wicked Pokémon a Grass/Dark type and the evolved form of Nuzleaf. Its large fan can cause winds in excess of one hundred feet per second and can blow anything away." The Pokedex says Ash looks at Litten he can see that it's still tired from its battle with Accelgor he grabs Litten's Pokeball and speaks.

"Ash his using his Darumaka next this gives him an advantage" Misty says with Brock and Leaf agreeing Leaf looks at Sprigatito and speaks.
"Okay Sprigatito let's cheer on Darumaka too!" Leaf says but when she looks at Sprigatito the grass cat has an uninterested look on her face she yawns and goes asleep making Leaf confused as Brock speaks.
"I guess Sprigatito is only interested when Litten battles" Brock says with the others nodding. Back on the battlefield Sanpei looks at Shiftry and speaks.
"Shiftry let's get revenge for Accelgor" Sanpei says with Shiftry nodding Ash looks to Darumaka and speaks.

Sanpei returns Shiftry telling it thank you Sanpei looks at Ash and sees him return Darumaka Sanpei then speaks.
"So, you're returning Darumaka" Sanpei asks Ash looks at him and speaks.
"Yeah, Darumaka's tired so I'm giving it a break my next one should be enough" Ash responds holding a Pokeball forward Sanpei smiles he grabs his next Pokeball holds it forward and speaks.
"We'll see about that my next one won't go down" Sanpei says Ash nods both boys throw their Pokeball's at the same time and speak.
"Palpitoad I choose you!" "Go! Galvantula!" Both trainers say bringing in their mons Palpitoad appears first excited to battle, Sanpei's Galvantula comes out next ready to battle too as soon as Misty sees Galvantula she and Sobble quickly hide behind Brock Leaf looks at her and speaks.
"Misty why are you scared? it's not like your battling" Leaf asks as Misty looks at her.
"I know it's just Bug types bug me" Misty responds with Sobble agreeing Quaxly looks at its trainer and teammate and gives a sigh. Back on the battlefield Ash takes out his Pokedex to scan Galvantula.
"Galvantula, the EleSpider Pokémon a Bug/Electric type. Galvantula attacks its prey by shooting electrically-charged threads and its front mandibles can hold down opponents." The Pokedex says as Ash speaks.
"Are you sure it's a good idea to use an electric type against my Palpitoad?" Ash asks as Sanpei speaks.
"You should know this by now type matchups don't always matter when it comes to battle" Sanpei responds Ash nods the ref calls for the battle to begin Ash makes the first move.
"Palpitoad use Mudshot!" Ash calls Palpitoad brings out its tongue and swings it firing mud towards Galvantula Sanpei isn't worried as he makes a command.
"Use Energy ball!" Sanpei calls shocking Ash Galvantula quickly fires the ball of grassy energy it easily destroys the Mudshot and hits Palpitoad making it soar through the air and come crashing back down Ash looks at it and speaks.
"Palpitoad are you okay?!" Ash asks Palpitoad stands back up it nods but has taken heavy damage Sanpei makes his next move.
"Now use Sticky Web!" Sanpei calls Galvantula quickly fires the web towards Palpitoad Ash makes a command.
"Palpitoad destroy it with Hydro Pump!" Ash calls Palpitoad quickly fires the big stream of water it easily destroys the Sticky Web Galvantula then appears behind Palpitoad shocking it and Ash Sanpei calls for his next move.
"Use Giga Drain!" Sanpei calls before Ash can tell Palpitoad to dodge the electric spider's teeth glow green and bite Palpitoad making it cry out in pain as its energy starts to be drained. Ash calls for Palpitoad to get out of there, but Palpitoad can't as Galvantula is holding on tightly Sanpei then speaks.
"Looks like it's my win Ash" Sanpei says smiling Ash grits his teeth while in the stands Brock speaks.
"This is bad if Ash doesn't do something soon Palpitoad is going to faint" Brock says as Misty speaks.
"Come on Ash beat that bug!" "Yeah!" Misty along with Leaf, Sobble and Quaxly cheer wanting Ash to think of something. Back on the battlefield Ash is in deep thought trying to think of a way to break Palpitoad free.
"There has to be a way for Palpitoad to break free come on think, think!" Ash thinks to himself as he's thinking he remembers 2 days ago when he was training Palpitoad he remembers one of the moves it learned Ash smiles and speaks.
"Of course, how can I forget Palpitoad use Hyper Voice!" Ash calls Palpitoad gives a loud ear-piercing yell which hurts the ears of everyone in the room and forces Galvantula to let go of Palpitoad Ash then speaks.
"Now Palpitoad use Sludge Wave!" Ash calls before Sanpei can tell Galvantula to dodge Palpitoad summons a big wave of poison it hits Galvantula causing major damage and successfully poisoning it. Sanpei is shocked while Ash smiles and makes his next move.
"Now use Earth Power!" "Dodge Galvantula!" Both trainers call Palpitoad stomps its foot on the battlefield cracking it, it heads towards Galvantula but the electric spider avoids it by moving to the side when it does it sees Palpitoad taking a deep breath as Ash speaks.
"Now Hydro Pump!" Ash calls Palpitoad fires a big stream of water it's about to hit Galvantula until Sanpei makes a command.
"Use Thunder!" Sanpei calls Galvantula roars it summons a large bolt of electricity it easily cuts through the Hydro Pump and hits Palpitoad beginning to shock it. When everyone looks at Palpitoad they see that it's fine the Thunder isn't affecting it Sanpei realizes his mistake Ash smiles and speaks.
"Now Palpitoad Earthquake!" Ash calls Palpitoad roars it stomps its foot on the battlefield causing it to shake Galvantula groans from the pain it falls on the ground feeling the poison Ash makes his next move.
"Now end it with Hydro Pump!" Dodge Galvantula!" Both trainers call Palpitoad fires the big stream of water Galvantula isn't able to move in time as it's consumed by the water and is sent soaring pass Sanpei hitting the wall behind him. Sanpei looks at Galvantula he sees that it's unconscious the ref makes the call.
"Galvantula is unable to battle Palpitoad's the winner!" The ref calls Ash, Pikachu and Palpitoad cheer in victory the others cheer too Leaf then speaks.
"Ash is doing great just two more and he wins!" Leaf says with Misty nodding Brock then speaks.
"That may be true but remember Sanpei's last two Pokemon haven't battled yet, Ash has 3 Pokemon who are already warned out, Sanpei's last Pokemon is most likely his Greninja and you two remember how strong it was when it was a Frogadier" Brock says with the others nodding they look back at the battlefield they see Sanpei return Galvantula. He thanks it Sanpei then looks back at the battlefield he sees Ash congratulating his Palpitoad Sanpei then speaks.
"Well Ash I must say you've done well in defeating my 3 Pokemon but you won't be able to defeat my 4th one Go! Barbaracle!" Sanpei says he throws the ball what appears is a big bipedal Pokemon consisting of two big grey rocks and four arms on the upper rock when it fully appears it gives a loud roar sending out a big shockwave that blows Palpitoad backwards with Ash catching it. When Barbaracle stops roaring it looks forward and gets in a battle stance Ash and Leaf take out their Pokedex's to scan it.
"Barbaracle, the Collective Pokémon a Rock/Water type. Barbaracle's limbs can move independently on each other, but they usually follow the head's commands." The Pokedex says Misty looks at it and speaks.
"It looks so…. Amazing!" Misty says having hearts in her eyes causing the others to look at her confused (Sprigatito looks at her too, but it then goes back to sleep) Ash then speaks.
"This Barbaracle its strong can you still battle Palpitoad?" Ash asks Palpitoad looks at Ash and nods it jumps back on the battlefield ready to continue the ref calls for the battle to continue as Ash makes the first move.
"Use Hydro Pump!" Ash calls Palpitoad roars it fires a large Hydro Pump it travels through the battlefield going to hit the Collective Pokemon Sanpei then speaks.
"Liquidation!" Sanpei calls Barbaracle summons two water blades it jumps forward and easily cuts the Hydro Pump in half shocking Ash and his friends Sanpei makes his next move.
"Now Dragon Claw!" Sanpei calls Barbaracle covers its claws in green dragon energy it jumps forward and jabs Palpitoad in the stomach. Palpitoad coughs in pain as it's sent flying pass Ash and Pikachu hitting the wall behind them, Palpitoad falls on the battlefield knocked out as the ref speaks.
"Palpitoad is unable to battle Barbaracle's the winner!" The ref calls Barbaracle roars in victory Ash returns Palpitoad telling it thank you he grabs his next Pokeball and throws it.
"Darumaka I choose you!" Ash says bringing the Zen Pokemon back in it's still tired from its battle with Shiftry but will do its best the ref calls for the battle to continue Sanpei makes the first move.
"Use Brick Break!" Sanpei calls Barbaracle roars it shoots forward instantly reaching Darumaka as it goes to hit it Ash speaks.
"Darumaka Blizzard!" Ash calls Darumaka roars it fires a big Blizzard consuming Barbaracle it pushes the collective Pokemon back a little bit, but it roars bringing its fist down on Darumaka creating an explosion. Darumaka skids back towards Ash unconscious the ref says that Darumaka's unable to battle Barbaracle roars in victory again Ash returns Darumaka telling it thank you he grabs his next Pokeball and throws it.
"Litten, I choose you!" Ash says the fire cat appears giving a mighty roar it pants a few times but can still battle. When Litten appears Sprigatito instantly wakes up it begins to happily cheer on Litten while the others smile at it Sanpei then speaks.
"So Litten's back out you know it's not going to do much against Barbaracle right" Sanpei says as Ash speaks.
"True but I know Litten can still do some damage to it" Ash responds with Litten nodding Sanpei smiles the ref calls for the battle to continue Sanpei makes the first move.
"Use Liquidation!" Sanpei calls Barbaracle summons two water blades it instantly reaches Litten going to hit it Ash quickly makes a command.
"Litten dodge then use Growl!" Ash calls as Barbaracle goes to hit Litten the fire cat dodges it jumps on Barbaracle's arm and runs up it when Litten reaches its face it roars lowering Barbaracle's attack power Sanpei then speaks.
"Use Scald!" "Dodge Litten!" Both trainers call when Barbaracle fires the stream of hot water Litten jumps getting behind Barbaracle it heats up its mouth as Ash speaks.
"Use Fire Fang!" "Block it with Liquidation!" Both trainers call Litten jumps forward going to bite down on Barbaracle but the collective Pokemon turns around it summons a water sword blocking Litten's attack making Litten bite the Liquidation instead Sanpei makes his next move.
"Now slam it on the ground!" Sanpei calls Barbaracle lifts up its Liqudation and slams it along with Litten on the ground Ash then calls out to it.
"Litten!" Ash calls in worry when the smoke clears everyone can see Litten it struggles to stand up but eventually does it looks at Barbaracle having a determined look in its eyes Ash smiles and speaks.
"Great job Litten now use Growl again!" Ash calls Litten lets out a loud growl making Barbaracle's attack power drop even more Sanpei makes a command.
"Liquidation!" "Dodge!" Both trainers call Barbaracle goes to hit Litten but the fire cat jumps high in the air getting behind Barbaracle when Litten lands its body and mouth heat up as Ash speaks.
"NOW FLAMETHROWER!" "LITTEN!" Ash and Litten yell the fire cat fires a large Flamethrower it consumes Barbaracle Sanpei isn't worried as he calls for his next move.
"Use Poison Jab!" Sanpei calls Barbaracle bursts out of the flames it covers its claws in poison and jabs Litten hard in the stomach. The fire cat coughs in pain it's sent flying to where Ash is and crashes next to him Ash looks at Litten and sees that it's knocked out the ref makes the call.
"Litten is unable to battle Barbaracle wins!" The ref calls Barbaracle roars in victory in the stands Sprigatito's angry.
"Sprig, Sprig, Sprig!" Sprigatito yells in anger it goes to attack Barbaracle but Leaf grabs her, stopping her she looks at the grass cat and speaks.
"Sprigatito calm down" Leaf says but the grass cat disagrees it tries to force its way out of Leaf's arms but is unable to on the battlefield Ash picks up Litten he looks at it and speaks.
"Hey Litten, you did your best thank you take a good rest" Ash says Litten looks at Ash and nods Litten then looks over at Sprigatito. Litten gives the grass cat a look saying it's fine and to cheer on their trainer and teammates. Sprigatito looks at Litten it hates that it lost but nods in understanding saying it'll cheer on their trainer and teammates Litten smiles it goes back in its Pokeball Sanpei then speaks.
"Well Ash looks like we both have 2 Pokemon left you've done well but I'm going to win" Sanpei states with Barbaracle roaring in agreement Ash looks at him he takes out a Pokeball and speaks.
"I disagree Sanpei the one who's going to win this battle is me Scyther I choose you!" Ash says sending out the mantis Pokemon when Scyther appears it gives a loud roar making a shockwave. When Scyther stops roaring it looks at its opponent and smiles as it sees Barbaracle as a worthy challenge. Scyther then hears a "Sprig" it looks over at the stands it sees Sprigatito the grass cat looks at the mantis and speaks.
"Sprig, Sprig, Sprig!" Sprigatito tells Scyther that it better win to avenge Litten and is cheering for it Ash then speaks.
"Yeah, Scyther Sprigatito's right let's get revenge for our fallen comrades Litten and Darumaka did some damage to Barbaracle let's win this for them!" Ash says having a determined look in his eyes Scyther looks at Ash, it nods it looks back at the battlefield and gets in a battle stance Sanpei then speaks.
"Really? you're going to use a Bug/Flying Type on my Barbaracle?" Sanpei questions as Ash speaks.
"Hey, didn't you say earlier that type matchups don't matter" Ash asks as Sanpei speaks.
"I did say that, but I just thought that you would've used Pikachu to battle Barbaracle" Sanpei says as Ash speaks.
"True but I'm saving Pikachu for your last Pokemon I want to make sure that Pikachu's all good and ready to face your Greninja. Also, you shouldn't underestimate my Scyther its strong and I know it can defeat your Barbaracle" Ash responds with Pikachu and Scyther nodding Sanpei smiles and speaks.
"You're right I shouldn't be underestimating your Pokemon I apologize so I'll show you the true power of my Barbaracle" Sanpei says with Barbaracle roaring in agreement Ash smiles and speaks.
"That's good to hear we'll be going full power too!" Ash says with Scyther roaring in agreement after that both Scyther and Barbaracle get into their battle stances they stare at each other waiting for the battle to begin. A few seconds go by as the ref speaks.
"Let the battle continue!" The ref calls as Ash and Sanpei call for their attacks.
"Scyther use Brick Break!" Ash calls Scyther roars, as both of its scythes become white the mantis then quickly flies towards Barbaracle.
"Barbaracle use Liquidation!" Sanpei calls Barbaracle roars it summons two big water blades and charges at Scyther. Everyone looks on wondering who will win, we then see both Scyther and Barbaracle clash in the middle of the battlefield as the chapter ends.
Thank you for reading if you've made it this far. Looks like I'm ending this on a cliffhanger originally, I wanted to finish both battles in this chapter but as I was writing I got too into the battles and I also wanted to give Ash's new Pokemon some shine. Tell me how did you feel about Ash's battle with Samurai? And do you think Ash will defeat Sanpei so he can face Koga? Will you'll just have to wait for the next chapter.
The next chapter will come out next week it'll conclude Ash and Sanpei's battle and see whether or not Ash will face Koga.
Next time chapter 39 The Fuchsia City Gym
See you all next time!
