EP108: Difference between revisions

The episode begins as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at [[Kumquat Island]], a resort island where Ash will also compete in his fourth and final Orange Crew battle. {{an|Misty}} and {{Tracey}} plan to enjoy their time while Ash {{pkmn|battle}}s. They are interrupted by a lady, who mistakes Ash for her son, [[Travis]], who had, like Ash, started a Pokémon journey with a Pikachu. After clearing the confusion, though, the beach is attacked by a {{TRT}} {{p|Rhydon}} robot, driven by {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} and weaponized by {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Jessie tells Weezing to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but it instead uses {{m|Smog}}. It becomes clear that James had never gotten around to teaching Hyper Beam to Weezing. Ash then decides to put a stop to Team Rocket. In retaliation, Jessie has Arbok use {{m|Poison Sting}} on Ash, which is stopped thanks to the woman, whose {{p|Alakazam}} had used {{m|Reflect}} to block the attack, and then {{m|Psychic}} to seal the mechanical Rhydon's mouth shut while another Smog attack is fired. This allows Ash to send out {{AP|Charizard}} amidst Team Rocket confusion, who uses {{m|Take Down}} to deal a blow to the robot. When Arbok accidentally uses {{m|Acid}} to tear a hole in the Rhydon robot, Charizard uses {{m|Flamethrower}} to overload the Rhydon robot's machinery, causing the robot to explode and send Team Rocket flying.

With Charizard on the ropes (about to eat up another Psychic), Ash warns Pikachu, standing still amidst the beating Charizard is taking, that if Charizard is unable to continue, they will lose the match. Pikachu finally ThunderShocks Alakazam, freeing Charizard. In return, Charizard catches Pikachu after Pikachu is hit by a {{m|Body Slam}} from Marowak soon after. With the two now willing to cooperate, Charizard {{m|Fly|takes to the skies}} with Pikachu in tow, allowing Pikachu to land {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Marowak, who had just launched another Bonemerang. The attack does not faze Marowak, but it manages to knock off its concentration. Meanwhile, Charizard continues to fly towards Alakazam, who was preparing a {{m|Hyper Beam}} to land point-blank on Charizard. When Charizard pulls up at the last minute, Alakazam is hit with the wayward Bonemerang attack, sending it and the charged Hyper Beam backwards. The Hyper Beam tears across the battlefield and into Marowak, knocking both of Luana's Pokémon out, and giving Ash the victory.
