"Alright Hugh, four on four good for you?" Ash asked.
"Bring it Ash, we've been training since our last match." Hugh said.
"Good to hear. Larvesta I choose you!"
"Come on out Panpour!"
"He chose, Larvesta." Rosa said deadpanned.
"He's gotta get training sooner or later." Ash pointed out. "Now use String Shot!"
"Panpour use Fury Swipes!"
Panpour slashed at Larvesta's string shot, getting a bit on their claws, but easily cutting through it.
"Keep it up use another String Shot!" Ash called out.
"Keep using Fury Swipes!"
Larvesta tried their hardest, sending out a string of silk at Panpour, but nothing seemed to slow the water type down.
"Now Panpour use Scald!"
"Use Ember!" Ash called out.
Panpour sent out a blast of water at Larvesta, the water already hot and strong enough not to be bothered much by the newly hatched Pokémon's flames before striking, soaking, and knocking out Larvesta.
"That, was easy?" Hugh asked. "Did I get that much better or were you going easy?"
"He just hatched Larvesta the other day, so probably a bit of both." Rosa reminded.
"Ahh, so that came from the egg, fair enough." Hugh commented.
"Yeah, alright your turn." Ash reminded.
"Right come on out Tranquil!"
"Trubbish I choose you!"
"Tranquil use Quick Attack!"
"Trubbish use Sludge Wave!"
Tranquil rushed at Trubbish only to be sloshed by the poisonous attack.
"Tranquil use Air Cutter!"
"Trubbish use Sludge!"
Trubbish launched a shot of sludge at Tranquil, the flying types attack easily cutting through it, striking Trubbish as well.
"Trubbish use Sludge Wave!"
"Tranquil use Air Cutter!"
Trubbish belched, sending out a wave of sludge that pushed through the air cutter, drenching Tranquil once more as he was knocked back.
"Trubbish needs a stronger range. He can't win like this!" Rosa said in anger.
"It's just a friendly battle, relax." Elliot reminded.
"Tranquil use Quick Attack!"
"Trubbish use Double Slap!"
Trubbish readied himself, slapping Tranquill from both sides at once, stopping the flying type in its descent.
"Now use Sludge!"
"Tranquil get out of there!"
Trubbish belched up some sludge all over Tranquil as the flying type went limp in defeat.
"Never count my Pokemon out until the last move is called Rosa." Ash reminded.
"It's your turn now that you won." Hugh reminded.
"Right, right. Darumaka come on out!"
"Trapinch let's go!"
"Not a good type matchup for Darumaka." Elliot commented.
"She's tough, I'm sure she's got this." Rosa commented.
"Darumaka use Fire Punch!"
"Trapinch use Bite!"
Darumaka rushed forward, her fist ignited as Trapinch lunged at her, biting down on the wrong arm as the fire engulfed one struck the ground type.
"Now use Flame Wheel!"
"Trapinch use Sand Tomb!"
Darumaka grabbed onto Trapinch with her free arm, the two engulfing in sand and flames rolling about the park area.
Off in the distance
A Pokemon looked out at the battle unfolding, the two causing trouble and could potentially hurt other innocent Pokemon, they grabbed something from their side but stopped when the two Pokemon separated.
"Trapinch use Crunch!"
"Darumaka use Headbutt!"
The two Pokemon leapt at each other with Trapinch biting down on Darumaka's body as the two rolled and tumbled to the ground.
"Darumaka use Fire Punch!"
"Trapinch use Crunch again!"
Darumaka struck Trapinch from the side as the ground type bit down harder than before, resulting in a double knockout.
"They, they both were knocked out at the same time." Rosa said in disbelief. "Hugh has been working hard at catching up."
"All tied up Hugh, final round, are you ready?" Ash asked. "Servine let's go!
"More than ready. Meet the new and improved Pignite!" Hugh called out.
Off in the distance
The Pokemon watching the battle became interested, recognizing the familiar scents coming from Servine and Pignite. It was time to step in.
"Servine use Aqua Tail!"
"Pignite use Flame Charge!"
Pignite rushed forward, getting knocked off balance by Servine's Aqua Tail before rolling back into a standing position.
"Servine keep them moving with Energy Ball!"
"Pignite use Arm Thrust!"
Servine sent his energy ball forward as Pignite begin pushing forward, aiming to strike Servine, only for Pignite to be hit by a shell and another to slice right through Servine's Energy Ball.
"Hey don't you know it's rude to interrupt a battle!" Ash argued, seeing a slim blue Pokemon.
"What is that?" Rosa asked.
"It's a Dewott." Elliot said in surprise.
"What are they doing out here and interrupting Servine and Pignite's battle?" Rosa asked.
"Dewott is the evolved form of Oshawott, but other than that, I couldn't tell you." Elliot admitted.
"Wait, Ash do you think it's possible?" Rosa asked.
"That this is the Oshawott we never found, yeah I believe it." Ash said.
"But that doesn't explain why it's fighting them." Elliot countered.
"Think about it. I rescued Tepig, Ash rescued Snivy, Dewott didn't get a trainer and wants to prove themself." Hugh commented.
"Well then looks like the terms of battle just changed." Ash said.
"It appears so." Hugh agreed with confidence.
