Announcer: Today, Ash and Misty arrive in Laurel Town. In search for the Frontier Gym! For today, Ash starts an all new challenge.
"Here we are!" he states. They look at the place, seeing nothing more than a broken down building.
"Seems like a run down building to me." Misty replies, being a little creeped out.
"Don't worry! Once we enter, it won't be that bad." he reassured her and approached the door. When he did, he tried to ope it. It wouldn't budge. Pushing harder, nothing happened. "What gives?" he questioned.
"State your names and business." a voice ordered. They looked around to see where it was coming from. "Up here! In the left corner." the voice informed them. They looked and saw a camera. "Again! State your name and business." the voice ordered once more. Ash looked and saw an intercom.
"Umm! Yes! I'm Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town. I'm here to battle the Brain Leader." he informed them.
"Only trainers who have been through the Kanto League once may enter here. If you have, insert your Pokedex." the voice told him. As he did, a tiny slot came out and opened up. Ash took out his Pokedex and inserted it. "Scanning it." the voice said. The two waited and looked to each other, puzzled, then back again. "Confirmed! You may enter." the voice said and the door's magnet clicked off.
Ash pushed on the door, then pulled when it didn't open. The two entered and the door slammed shut, the magnet reactivating. They walked into the building, darkness around them.
"Ash." Misty said, worriedly.
Hearing she was right behind him, he took her hand. "Don't worry, Mist. I'm here." he reassured her. She grabbed onto his arm. He patted her hand. "Pikachu! Give us some light."Ash said.
Pikachu about did. "Using a Pokemon to light your way is prohibited. You must find the way on your own or with your companion." the voice told him.
He looked at his companion. "Let's do as he says." Ash told him. Misty stayed on him as they looked for a way out. That's when Ash spotted some light. "Found the way out." he told them. The three made it out and saw what looked like an arena of sorts. "What is..." "Welcome! To the Laurel Frontier Gym." one man said.
"We are the Brain Leaders." another man said.
Ash and Misty looked up and saw them, each dressed differently and slim looking slightly muscular. Each was wearing a dress-up shirt, but one was green, one was red and one was blue with a black vest on; with a matching bow. Their pants were khakis. Based off their dress up shirt, each of their hair had the same color dye streak. They each had on a black shoe.
"I am Celant." "I am Brussle." "And I...am Dent!" they each announced.
"AND WE'RE...THE CONNOISEUR BROTHERS!" they said in unison.
"Connoiseur? What's that?" Ash asked.
"SOMEONE WHO LOVES FOOD. FOR WE ARE...THE BATTLING CONNISEURS." they all said.
(Beat) In a loud whisper: GOTTA CATCH 'EM, GOTTA CATCH EM, GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL! POKEMON! (Regular) I WANT TO BE THE BEST, THAT NO ONE EVER WAS! TO CATCH THEM IS MY REAL TEST. TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUSE. FOR EVERY NEW JOURNEY I FACE, OFFERS A NEW CHALLENGE. FROM NEW FRIENDS, TO NEW RIVALS! NEW POKEMON WITH NEW ABILITIES. BE A HERO, BE A HEERROOO. IT'S IN YOUR SOUL. BE A HERO. BE A HEERRROOOOO. THE POWER IS IN YOUR SOUL. JUST TAKE IT IN YOUR HAAANNNDD! POKEMON.
"Here at this Battle Gym, the rules are simple." Dent told him.
"The Pokemon we choose, yours must not have the type advantage." Celant informed him.
"You also must beat each of us." Brussle told him.
"You can either win all three rounds or beat two of us." Celant told him.
"If you can't, you'll only have two more tries." Dent told him.
"After those, you'll have to wait one month before re-challenging us." Brussle stated.
"You are required to have only four Pokemon on you. That's for if you choose a bonus challenge. We'll explain that later on." Celant told Ash.
Misty looked to Ash; seeing that this is going to be harder than all his other challenges. "You got this Ash?" Misty asked, a bit worried.
"I'm all over this. But first..." he looked to a computer monitor and went to it.
When he turned it on he accessed Prof. Oaks computer and inserted his Pokedex. That's when Oak heard his computer go off. He looked and saw that it was Ash. Grabbing up the Poke-balls, he aimed them at the Pokemon that were training. "Time for the battle." he informed them. From there they were returned to their Poke-balls. Ash placed his poke-balls, one-by-one, on the transport. As soon as the each received the Pokemon, he removed his dex and went to the arena. Oak went outside and aimed the Poke-balls. "Come on out and let's see what we have." Oak said. The balls burst open and he saw Sandile, Pidove, Fletchling and Roggenrola.
Ash looked at his poke-balls, and was a ,little confused. "I wonder why he sent this one." he questioned. Ignoring it so he could get ready to battle.
Ash faced off with Celant first as the referee was in the middle, on the side. "These battles are going to be one on one. Neither side can exchange Pokemon, except for on the third stage. BEGIN!" she announced.
Celant threw his ball. "COME ON OUT..." it burst open and out came Magmortar.
Seeing this one, Ash picked a Poke-ball and threw it. "COME ON OUT..." he said. His burst open and out came Sceptile.
"A very wise choice. Will it be enough though." Celant commented. "MAGMORTAR! USE FIRE PUNCH." he said. Magmortar made a flaming fist and charged towards Sceptile.
"DODGE, AND USE BULLET SEED!" Ash explained. Sceptile jumped high and fired a bullet seed at Magmortar. It didn't do that much damage. "NOW USE LEAFE BLADE!" Ash said. Sceptile grew a blade from his arm and sliced at Magmortar. It hit, but Magmortar wasn't scarred.
"USE FIRE BBLAST." Celant said. Magmortar fired something that looked like a star, but in a twig human form.
Ash knew Sceptile couldn't dodge this, especially at a close range. "BLOCK IT, THEN USE LEAFE STORM." Ash told him. Sceptile crossed its arms in front of its face and barely blocked the attack. When the attack burst apart Sceptile released its Leaf Storm. That barely hit Magmortar, but left a bit of damage.
"USE HYPER BEAM" Celant said. Magmortar built up the energy in its mouth.
Ash saw a chance. "BULLET SEED THEN QUICK ATTACK!" Ash explained. Sceptile fired a Bullet Seed at the same time Magmortar fired its Hyper Beam. Both attacks collided and made an explosion.
"Good luck with your Sceptile seeing." Celant said. That was when Magmortar was hit by Sceptile. "Oh no." Celant said.
"I used the smoke as a cover for when Sceptile fired his Bullet Seed." Ash told him.
"Very well done! Still, can you handle the heat!" he claimed. "Use Flare Blitz." Magmortar began to run as fast as possible, a flame surrounding it and went in for Sceptile.
Ash waited until it was close enough. "Bullet Seed." Sceptile fired and hit Magmortar, but the collision looked brutal.
Celant only smirked. "This battle is over." he said.
"Leaf Blade." Ash said. Sceptile came from above, having taken damage.
"What the..." he questioned, shocked.
"He might've taken a direct hit, but jumped when he did." Ash told him as Celant was shocked. Sceptile hit Magmortar. "SOLAR BEAM!" Ash called out. Sceptil charged up fast and released the attack at a close range, an explosion occurring. "Waited for that opportunity." he told him. As the smoke cleared, they saw that Magmortar was out for the count.
"Magmortar is out. Victory of the first round goes to Sceptile and Ash." the ref. stated.
"Seems like I've been bested." Celant said and aimed his ball at Magmortar. "Return." he said and the Pokemon returned.
He walked off and Brussle came up. "My turn and I won't be as easy." he told Ash.
Ash returned Sceptile and switched to another Poke-ball. "Doesn't matter. I need the challenge." Ash told him.
Brussel got his Poke-ball. "COME ON OUT..." he threw it and out came Corsola.
Ash threw his. "IT'S YOUR TIME!" he exclaimed. Out came Infernape. 'Let's see how strong he's gotten.' Ash thought.
"BEGIN!" the ref. said.
"NOW! POWER GEM." he called out. Corsola charged up its spikes and fired beams.
"DODGE AND USE FLAME WHEEL." Ash told Infernape. He jumped to the side and got hit by a bit of the attack. After that he spun fast and went straight in for Corsola. He neared Corsola.
"NOW! ROCK BLAST!" he explained. Corsola lifted rocks off the ground and fired them at Infernape. He did get hit as other were obliterated on impact of the flame wheel. Infernape still hit Corsola.
"BEGIN TO USE MIRROR COAT AS YOU USE AQUA RING." he said. Corsola did so.
"FLAME THROWER, LET'S GO." Ash called out. Infernape did so, but it was reflected back. Infernape dealt with so much damage. He opened his dex and opened it. "What else does Infernape know!" he wondered as he hit a few buttons.
"Infernape! The moves it currently knows are Flame Wheel, Flame Thrower, and Punishment." it informed him.
Ash put up his dex and looked at Infernape. "USE PUNISHMENT!" he said. Infernape used that move. Now for...FLAME WHEEL." Ash told him. He spun in fire and charged after Corsola.
"MIRROR COAT!" Brussel called out. Corsola did so and Infernape was dealt with a lot of damage again. "NOW FOR POWER GEM!" Corsola did so, and made Infernape fall.
"CORSOLA WINS! THE VICTOR OF THIS ROUND IS BRUSSEL." the ref. called out.
They each returned their Pokemon. "Great job Corsola." he complimented and looked to Ash. "You did very well, Ash. I just hope you can beat Dent." he said to him before he walked off.
"Great battling you as well." Ash replied.
Dent came over and held out his Poke-ball. "I do wish you the best of luck." he told Ash, then threw his Poke-ball in. It burst open and out came Tangrowth. Ash threw his next Poke-ball and out came Buizel. Dent looked puzzled. "Why hasn't that Buizel evolved? We have incredibly strong Pokemon here." he informed him.
"It's because this Buizel is something special. He's been through very tough battles and I know he'll be perfect for this battle." Ash told him.
"Fine enough. Let's get this battle started." Dent stated.
"BATTLE BEGIN!" the ref. announced.
"GO NOW! AQUA JET!" Ash called out. Buizel surrounded itself in water and blasted towards Tangrowth.
"USE SLAM" Dent calls out. Tangrowth reaches out and tries to grab Buizel, but Buizel narrowly escapes and hits Tangrowth. "USE WRING OUT!" Dent says to the Pokemon. Tangrowth tried for another grab.
"USE SWIFT." Ash called out. Tangrowth had his tail and began to use Wring Out. As he did Buizel used Swift and hit Tangrowth. He might have gotten released, but was flung; landing a bit roughly. "SONIC BOOM! LET'S GO." Ash told him. Buizel got up fast, tail glowing white and released the attack.
Tangrowth was hit and did show a good bit of damage. "MEGA DRAIN." Dent called out. Tangrowth released two of its vines.
"DODGE AND USE AQUA JET." Ash called out. Buizel did so and charged towards the Grass Pokemon, hitting it. "SONIC BOOM." Ash told Buizel.
"NOW'S YOUR CHANCE! MEGA DRAIN." Dent told Tangrowth. The Pokemon did the same thing and caught Buizel this time.
"Oh no!" Ash stated . He watched helplessly as Buizel's energy was drained.
"Oh yes! This battle will be over soon." he told Ash. Buizel tried to get out, but to no avail. That's when he hit Tangrowth. Not once, but twice with his tails. Once to get free then a second to get away. "What was that?" Dent questioned.
"What was that?!" Ash wondered to himself and brought out his dex as Buizel did the same thing again.
"Double Hit! The Pokemon uses either tail, tails, vines or tentacles to slam it's opponent. It gets hit twice in a row." the dex told Ash.
"Buizel learned a new move." he said to himself and looked at him. Buizel looked ready for another attack. "USE DOUBLE HIT AGAIN." he called out. Buizel hit Tangrowth twice in a row again.
"Oh my! Very impressive. Learning a new move in battle." Dent complimented, knowing he's seen this before.
After the two hits, Buizel began to glow white. The lot of them gasped. "Buizel's evolving!" Ash explained. They saw some changes, including a change in height and the light faded away. The tube was now stretched down and around the body. A white patch on his forehead as well as an orange patch of fur on his abdomen. His tails were shorter, but thicker. The two black lines on his cheeks now looked like spikes on his face. His fangs were shown and his three fins were longer.
Ash still used his Pokedex. It beeped twice. "Floatzel! The Sea Weasel Pokemon! It floats using its well-developed flotation sac and it doubles as a rubber raft. It assists in the rescues of drowning people. Even developing as a result of pursuing aquatic prey." the dex informed him.
"Seems like I have a Floatzel now." he stated as he put up his Pokedex. "AQUA JET! LET'S GO!." Ash called out, again. Buizel launched surrounded by water, but more powerful. Floatzel hit Tangrowth, hard.
"MEGA DRAIN!" Dent called out. Trangrowth launched its vines again.
"DODGE AND USE DOUBLE HIT, FOLLOWED BY SONIC BOOM." Ash called out. Floatzel hit Tangrowth twice and unleashed its Sonic Boom. Tangrowth barely stood back up, having one eye open.
"SLAM." "DOUBLE HIT!" they both called out at the same time. Both Pokemon collided and landed on opposite ends of the arena. Seemed like a minute had passed until Floatzel seemed to arch over in defeat. Then Tangrowth fell over with swirly eyes.
"Tangrowth is out. Floatzel has won the battle." the ref. stated, aiming her flag to Ash's end.
"We did it. We won." Ash said excitedly.
"That you have!" Dent said. Ash looked to him and his brothers.
"Even though you've won. You can now choose if you'd like to take the bonus round." Celant informed him.
"Then let me know what it is." Ash told them.
"It is when you beat us twice in a row. Or lose once then win a third." Brussel told him.
"When you get this far, you can choose this round or take one of the badge symbols we have." Dent told him.
"Huh? Sounds like there's more to this place than I know." Ash commented.
"You see. You can get the badge that has only the two wins on it. Possibly the one with two wins and one loss. A Duo Badge or a Trio Badge." Celant told him.
"If you lose and win evenly, it's nothing more than a tie, in which calls for one more battle. If not, then we'll wait till the trainer is ready for the next battle." Brussel told Ash.
"The only thing is. You can't use the same Pokemon you've used in the previous battles." Celant told him.
"You even get to choose one of us you want to battle." Brussel told him.
"What is your decision?" Dent asked. 'This is where we have to trick him and not mention our rarest badge. It's a way of testing him.' Dent thought.
Ash thought for a moment then looked to them. "I'll take the challenge and take on Dent." he told them.
"Then it's time for the next battle." Ash stated.
Dent brought out his next Poke-ball. "COME ON OUT..." he called out as he threw the Poke-ball. A light burst out of it and it formed what looked like a a crab with a cubicle rock on its back.
"What's that Pokemon?" Ash wondered as he opened his dex.
It beeped twice. "Crustle! The Stone Home Pokemon and the evolved form of Dwebble. Competing for territory, Crustle fight viciously. The one whose boulder is broken is the loser of the battle. It possesses legs of enormous strength, enabling it to carry heavy slabs for many days, even when crossing arid land." the dex told Ash.
"Then I think I'll use, Pikachu." Ash said a he smiled a him. Pikachu shouted its own name when it jumped down.
"BEGIN!" the ref. said.
"SHELL SMASH!" Dent said. Crustle Broke its own shell.
"IRON TAIL!" Ash called out. Pikachu ran fast towards Crustle.
"SLASH!" Dent called out. Crustle's claw began to glow white.
Both attacks collided, resulting in another explosion. "QUICK ATTACK!" Ash said to Pikachu. Even at close range, Pikachu ran fast and hit Crustle.
"X-SCISSOR!" Dent told Crustle. Crustle crossed his claws as they glowed white and hit Pikachu.
"THUBNDER-BOLT!" Ash said. Pikachu zapped Crustle. "NOW IRON TAIL!" he continued.
"SHELL SMASH THEN SLASH!" Dent called out. As Pikachu neared Crustle, he broke his own shell, but it was too late to power-up the claw. Pikachu hit Crustle.
Pikachu gave itself some distance from Crustle. "QUICK ATTACK THEN IRON TAIL!" Ash called out. Pikachu ran in fast.
"X-SCISSOR!" Dent said. As Crustle began to charge its claws Pikachu got right in range. Both attacks hit and Pikachu was launched into the air. From there, he charged his tail and hit Crustle. Pikachu flipped back to the other side of the arena.
Both were panting, exhausted from battle and the hits they dealt and took. Felt like minutes until Crustle fainted.
"CRUSTLE IS OUT! THE WINNER IS PIKACHU AND ASH." the ref. called out.
"WE DID IT, PIKACHU!" Ash explained as he caught Pikachu in his arms.
"PIKA-PIKA. (YES YES.)" he replied.
Misty giggled, watching the youthful teen celebrate. Afterwards Ash is standing in front of the Brain Leaders. "Ash! For your successful victory, we present you with the Platinum Advantage Badge Symbol." Dent told him as he presented it to Ash.
He took and looked at it. "The Advantage Badge Symbol!" he said to himself.
"It represents what our gym is about. We may put people up against a disadvantage, but they can choose a Pokemon that is the opposite and has the advantage." Cresant told Ash.
"It's the only way for us to test everyone." Brussel told him.
"What is there one that is darkened and the other three lightened?" Ash asked.
"It shows that you've won three and lost one. Helps to remind you of your abilities." Cresent told him.
"How you used your disadvantaged Pokemon against the ones who had the advantage. How you have shown they can be stronger against their disadvantaged types." Dent told him.
"Then why'd you say it's Platinum? Are there more colors?" Misty asked.
"There are. You have Platinum, Gold, Silver and Sapphire." Brussel told them.
"Platinum is primarily when you win for the first time and in the quickest time." Dent told them.
"Gold is secondary challenge. Shows you've gotten stronger." Brussel stated.
"Silver is third challenge. Showing you still have a way to go." Cresant continued.
"Platinum is what shows that you need more training in before continuing on?" Ash asked.
"Close to it. You will need training, that's only after one month. You'll be stuck with it as a constant reminder to be better." Brussel said.
"Even if I have this one. I still plan on training as hard as I can. Hopefully to try and get just one hit out of one or more of the other Battle Gyms." Ash told them.
"That will be the definite challenge. I know you'll be able to do it." Misty told him.
"As long as he keeps training, he'll be fine." Dent said.
Not long after, the two began to head for the nearest Pokemon Center. Once they were in Ash gave Nurse Joy his Pokemon. She took them for a check up and Ash went over to Misty.
"Where's the next stop?" Ash asked.
Misty looked it up in her nav. "It's in Sage City." she told him.
"After we meet up with the others, we'll head there next." Ash stated. He and Misty remained at the Pokemon Center.
In Sinnoh, searching the depths of Lake Valor. Gary Oak, along with a team of scientists, were searching for J's ship. There wasn't anything coming up on the sonar.
"Anything yet?" Gary requested.
"Nothing ye..." "Wait! I've spotted something." another man said, interrupting the other. Gary looked and they found Hunter J's ship.
"So that's where it is. Get us close." Gary told them.
"You got it." another man replied.
"Maybe we'll find out if she survived or not. I'll be surprised if she did." Gary said to himself.
At the ocean, near the island that was recently discovered. A news crew was there. The lady looked at her camera man. "Are we ready?" she asked.
"Good to go." he replied.
They began while the water risen and lowered the ship. "We're here today to get a close enough look at the new island that was recently discovered. The scientists, however, have requested we stay back until they knew it was safe. We don't know what to expect out of all this..." she said as her words fainted out.
Down in the depth of the ocean floor though, lies a space ship. On it, covered in algae, is a weird looking symbol. It has four horns on it, a trapezoid eye and what looks like three points at the bottom. Inside of the ships bridge was a flashing screen. On it was flashing 'System Reboot'.
I WANT TO BE THE BEST, THAT NO ONE EVER WAS! TO CATCH THEM IS MY REAL TEST. TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUSE. FOR EVERY NEW JOURNEY I FACE, OFFERS A NEW CHALLENGE. FROM NEW FRIENDS, TO NEW RIVALS! NEW POKEMON WITH NEW ABILITIES. BE A HERO, BE A HEERROOO. IT'S IN YOUR SOUL. BE A HEERRROOOOO. THE POWER IS IN YOUR SOUL. JUST TAKE IT IN YOUR HAAANNNDD! POKEMON.

Sara: We'll dedicate many things to her. Even unto Kenny Baker, Christopher Lee, Alan Rickman and others.
Tom: You all will be missed dearly.
Toonami
Tom: I think we got the signal patched through.
Intercom: This is Rogue...Rogue One.
Another Person: I am one with the force! The Force is with me.
Sara: That signal is from Star Wars: Rogue One.
Tom: Sweet! We got a signal from there. Credits to Lucas and LucasFilm for this. Along with his team.
Sara: Watch Star Wars: Rogue One! In theaters till 2017.
Tom: We own nothing of it. That's why we gave credit to where credit is due. If we did own it. Episode 7 would have been MUCH better.
Toonami
Tom: In honor of the new remastered version of Crash Bandicoot. We're doing a review of the older ones on the PS1. First off is Crash Bandicoot! You start off on an island in the first level. From there you spin enemies, break boxes for wumpa fruit and for Aku Aku. Get all three, you have invincibility. That only lasts ten seconds, but it's highly helpful. After the first level of collecting all the boxes, you get a gem.
Tom continues: The other levels though, you can't get all the boxes. Even if you do, you still need to get colored gems to get the other. For all the levels, you can't even die. During later levels you collect six tokens that take you to two different BONUS levels! They're short and are the main place for saving. The only problem is though, not every level has a bonus level and if you do manage to find it, you have to get to the other side without dying. Cause there is no way back into the BONUS once you have used up the tokens. For other saves are the bosses. Even they get hard to beat. Including the later levels. It's when you get to the ending there are two of them. Your final battle with Cortex and a non-canon one. TimPrime1 and Toonami give this one a 7 out of 10.
Tom Crash 2: For the second Crash game. A year passes and Cortex finds out that he needs Crystals. Confronting Crash, he lies to him and you have to collect all Crystals and Gems. From there you are given transport by a platform to go up and down to the levels. There are Gems in hidden levels that other levels transport you to. Plus, there's a better save feature. Once all levels are completed, you are taken to a boss or bosses. In the end, you have to battle Cortex. TimPrime1 and toonami give this game an 8.5 out of 10.
Tom Crash 3: The third game is where Aku Aku and the others hear Uka Uka is freed. After Uka Uka confronts Cortex about losing the Gems and Crystals. Aku Aku informs the Bandicoot kids about his evil twin and takes them to the time arena. From there, you collect Gems Crystals and time Relics. Platinum, Gold and Sapphire! Collecting Gems in this game is also like collecting them from the previous game. There are 5 additional levels to go through. That's only when you have a certain number of time Relics. After each boss battle you gain a new special ability. Even when you beat Cortex and Uka Uka, you still need to collect the remaining Gems and Relics. This game is more challenging. TimPrime1 and Toonami give this game a solid 9 out of 10.
Tom: Out of all of them, they're a 8.7 out of ten. Now, let's blasting.
Toonami
Tom: We'll be back next year with more stories and ideas.
Sara: Hang on till then.
Me: Till next time.
TimPrime1 out
