AG010: Difference between revisions

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at an unofficial [[Gym]], where, according to a billboard, it houses the world's most powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Unable to pass up a challenge, Ash decides to challenge this Pokémon. As the gang arrives to the Gym, a Trainer is rushing his way out of there; stating with frustration that the Pokémon in question wasn't normal at all, making Ash's desire to defeat the world's most powerful Pokémon grow even bigger. As he makes his challenge, a Trainer named {{ho|Anthony}} arrives to accept the challenge, along with his {{p|Pelipper}}. The rules of the battle are simple: Anthony will only use his Pelipper, while Ash may use as many of his Pokémon as he wished. Ash decides to lead off with {{AP|Treecko}} against Pelipper. The battle unfolds normally, with Pelipper using {{m|Wing Attack}}, to which Treecko dodges effortlessly, but then Anthony suddenly tells Pelipper to use {{m|Vine Whip}}, which, as [[Max]] points out, Pelipper cannot learn (as he contends that Pelipper can only use {{t|Water}} and {{type|Flying}} attacks), but sure enough, a pair of vines manage to come out of Pelipper's mouth and trip up Treecko. Max becomes suspicious of Anthony's battling skills, while Ash is forced to withdraw Treecko for {{AP|Taillow}}. Taillow seems to handle the battle pretty well and tries to attack with {{m|Peck}}, though, Anthony makes another suspicious move and orders Pelipper to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, which hits Taillow and knocks it out, much to the amazement of everybody (especially Max, who can't believe that Pelipper is able to use {{type|Fire}} moves. Ash is down to {{AP|Pikachu}}, who he warns to expect the unexpected. Sure enough, when Pikachu uses {{m|Thunder}}, Pelipper is directed to counter with its own Thunder, once again making Max suspicious. However, Pikachu manages to draw even against Pelipper.
