AG187: Difference between revisions

After losing in the [[Battle Pyramid]] against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, {{Ash}} thinks about what he did wrong and what he could do differently as he sits in a hot spring. {{an|May}} also thinks about what she could do differently after her loss in the recent Contest against [[Solidad]] as {{TP|May|Skitty}} and {{TP|May|Beautifly}} are playing around. [[Scott]] and {{an|Brock}} comment about how she isn't taking the loss very well and how she is worried about how her battling style is a lot like Ash's. May decides that she should practice her Contest moves. Skitty uses {{m|Blizzard}} and Beautifly uses {{m|Psychic}} which both combine to create a blue horizontal snow tornado. Ash and [[Max]] say how it has been a long time since they saw Skitty and Beautifly. May tells them that her mom told her that Beautifly had learned how to use Psychic and that they were practicing. Ash asks how the practicing is going, and May admits that it isn't going very well. Scott suggests that they practice together by battling each other but Ash and May are unsure whether it is a good idea. [[Professor Oak]] arrives and Ash asks him why he is there.

At the [[Pokémon Center]], Professor Oak gives Ash a banner made by {{Tracey}} and his Pokémon, {{an|Misty}}'s lure, and a box of food from his {{Delia|mom}}. Several of Professor Oak's fans were admiring him from and taking pictures. Ash was able to recognize everyone's Pokémon prints. {{ashfr|Ash's friends}} tell are impressed that he knows whose prints they are. Professor Oak hands Ash a postcard from {{Gary}} from the [[Sinnoh |Sinnoh Region]]. Ash pictures Gary telling him that he shouldn't let a loss get him down, especially after Ash was able to defeat Gary before. Ash decides that he is going to work even harder and won't lose against Brandon again. Professor Oak recites a poem for Ash to help him, while a [[Nurse Joy]] runs up to him and asks for his autograph. A {{p|Roselia}} goes up to May as she realizes that [[Drew]] must be there as well. Nurse Joy goes up to him also and asks for his autograph. Drew asks how May is doing after her recent loss and she says that she is doing okay. Drew suggests that they have a Pokémon battle, since it is better than just being depressed all of the time. Brock says that it would give her mind a much needed rest. {{TRT}} arrives dressed as [[Mr. Sukizo]], [[Mr. Contesta]], and Nurse Joy and suggest that they should be the ones to judge. {{p|Cacturne}} uses {{m|Bullet Seed}} to reveal that they are really Team Rocket.
