EP178: Difference between revisions

On the route to [[Ecruteak City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are caught by the sight of a {{p|Skiploom}} racing by. After following it, they encounter its Trainer, [[Ephraim]]. He and his Skiploom are training for the upcoming annual Grass-type tournament, a tournament for {{type|Grass}} Pokémon only, with a large collection of {{Evostone|Leaf Stone}}s as the prize. Confident he can win any “local” tournament, Ash decides he and his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} will enter as well. Ephraim and his Skiploom train very hard as the tournament quickly approaches. Soon it is revealed {{TRT}} is entered in the tournament to win the Leaf Stones. But as they try to reach the Leaf Stones Ash blasts them off with Bulbasaur's {{m|Vine Whip}} Afterward Ash and Ephraim go through the tournament with relative ease. Until the final match. The final is Ephraim v.s. Ash. At first Ash and Bulbasaur dominate the match, but Skiploom holds its ground. Just as Ash says he doesn't want to harm the Skiploom any more, it unleashes a powerful {{m|SolarBeam}} attack! Everybody is shocked. This unexpected attack hits Bulbasaur straight on, making it fly into the air. Bulbasaur is soon finished with a {{m|Tackle}} attack. Later, as Ephraim is handed the trophy, Ash remembers pride and power aren't the only things a Trainer needs to win a battle. And the journey continues!
