Pokémon League entrance exam instructor: Difference between revisions

|desc={{p|Weezing}} is one of the many Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League Entrance Exam Instructor. It was the first Pokémon used by Ash in the final portion of the exam.

The first out of three Pokémon received, {{Ash}} sent out Weezing to battle against the instructor's {{p|Flareon}}. He wasn't too pleased with his choice. {{Todd}} noted that his response held the same expression as Weezing and could not help but take a few pictures, which angered Ash even more. Flareon started with a {{m|Flamethrower}}, and as Weezing dodged the move, Ash came up with an idea, and told Weezing to use {{m|Smog}}. Flareon launched another Flamethrower at the Smog, but the attacks collided, resulting in an explosion that sent Flareon flying back. Flareon recovered from the blast and started to use Leer, which Ash countered by ordering Weezing to use {{m|Smokescreen}}. The tactic worked, as Flareon's Leer could not penetrate the smoke. Weezing then won the battle by using {{m|Tackle}} while Flareon was still trapped in the smoke. This was the only battle won by Ash in the battle portion of the exam.

Later, when Team Rocket attacked, Ash used Weezing, along with Arbok and Meowth, to battle them. Weezing attacked James by blasting him with gas. Ash then told Weezing to use {{m|Explosion}}, which resulted in Team Rocket blasting off.

|desc={{p|Arbok}} is one of the Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League Entrance Exam Instructor. It was used by Ash as his second Pokémon in the final portion of the test.

After his Weezing had been defeated, {{Ash}} sent Arbok out to battle against the instructor's {{p|Jolteon}}. Like with Weezing, Ash was not thrilled with this turn of events. Jolteon started the battle with {{m|Agility}}, and after a few moments of thinking, Ash started to remember Arbok's moves, and ordered a {{m|Glare}} attack. Though this worked initially, Ash made the mistake of following this up with {{m|Wrap}}, causing Arbok to run afoul of Jolteon's spikes. As Arbok hopped in pain, Jolteon was able to shake off the Glare and defeat Arbok with {{m|Thunder}}.

Later, when Team Rocket attacked, Ash battled them using Arbok, along with Weezing and Meowth. Arbok took on Jessie, squeezing her with Wrap, before Weezing sent them blasting off.

|desc={{p|Meowth}} is one of the Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League Entrance Exam Instructor. It was the third and last Pokémon to be used by Ash in the final portion of the exam.

{{Ash}} sent Meowth to battle against the instructor's {{p|Vaporeon}}, and by now, having received yet another Pokémon owned by Team Rocket seemed to amuse him.  He initially did not remember what sort of attacks Meowth could use, but after hearing someone in the crowd calling for a {{m|Fury Swipes}} attack (that someone being Team Rocket's own Meowth), he ordered Meowth to use Fury Swipes. However, Vaporeon was able to defeat Meowth almost immediately with a single {{m|Ice Beam}}.

When Team Rocket attacked, Ash used Meowth, along with Weezing and Arbok, against them. Meowth attacked its Team Rocket counterpart with Fury Swipes. When Weezing sent Team Rocket blasting off, they blasted off with the wrong Meowth. Team Rocket ended up with the instructor's Meowth while the instructor was handed Team Rocket's Meowth by {{Todd}}. This temporary switch was fixed before the next episode but the instructor's Meowth was never seen again.

Pikachu was the first Pokémon used by [[James]] of [[Team Rocket]] in his battle portion of the exam, sent to battle against the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. When he first sent it out, James was overjoyed, noting that he had been destroyed by [[Ash's Pikachu]] so many times that he knew all of Pikachu's attacks by heart. This was viewed to be a rather lame exclamation by both his team members [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}}. James ordered Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} and was quite pleased when Pikachu responded to his command. However, Thunderbolt proved to be useless and Graveler responded with a {{m|Tackle}}, which sent Pikachu bouncing off of James's head and rendering it unable to battle. At this point, James expressed his confusion as to why the Thunderbolt had not worked. The instructor explained that {{type|Electric}} attacks did not work against a {{t|Ground}} type like Graveler. This prompted to James to send out Ivysaur and Charizard, which caused him to be expelled from the exam.

Later, Meowth ordered Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder}} on the instructor but the instructor told it to turn around and attack Team Rocket instead. It was at this point that it was officially mentioned that these Pokémon belonged to the instructor because he was the one who trained them.

[[James]] of [[Team Rocket]] sent Ivysaur out along with {{p|Charizard}} to battle against the instructor's {{p|Graveler}} after his Pikachu's quick defeat. However, since two against one was against the rules, James was expelled on the spot. He later returned and ordered Ivysaur to attack the instructor with {{m|Vine Whip}} but the instructor ordered Ivysaur to turn around and attack Team Rocket instead. At this point, it was officially mentioned that these Pokémon belonged to the instructor because he was the one who trained them.

[[James]] of [[Team Rocket]] sent it out along with {{p|Ivysaur}} to {{pkmn|battle}} the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. However, since two against one was against the rules, James was expelled on the spot. He later used Charizard to attack the instructor with {{m|Flamethrower}} but the instructor ordered Charizard to attack Team Rocket instead. At this point, it was officially mentioned that these Pokémon belonged to the instructor. 

|desc={{p|Graveler}} is one of the Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League entrance exam instructor. It was used by the instructor to battle against James's Pikachu. Pikachu used {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which was ineffective against the part {{type|Ground}} Graveler. It then defeated Pikachu with {{m|Tackle}}.

|desc={{p|Vaporeon}} is one of the Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League entrance exam instructor. It was the third and last Pokémon used by the instructor in his match against Ash's Meowth. Ash's Meowth used {{m|Fury Swipes}} but Vaporeon countered with {{m|Ice Beam}} in order to freeze Ash's Meowth and thus ending the battle.

|desc={{p|Jolteon}} is one of the Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League entrance exam instructor. It was the first Pokémon used by the instructor in his battle against Ash, used to face Ash's Arbok. Jolteon first started the battle with {{m|Agility}} but was stopped in its tracks by Arbok's {{m|Glare}}. When Arbok used {{m|Wrap}}, however, Jolteon's spikes sent it hopping back in pain. Jolteon then used {{m|Thunder}} to fry Arbok and thus ending the battle.

|desc={{p|Flareon}} is one of the Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League entrance exam instructor. It was the second Pokémon used by the instructor in his battle against Ash, used to face Ash's Weezing. Flareon started the battle with {{m|Flamethrower}} but Weezing successfully dodged the attack. It then used Flamethrower again to counter Weezing's {{m|Smog}} attack but the explosion caused by the collision sent Flareon reeling back. Flareon then tried to use {{m|Leer}} but it was unable to penetrate Weezing's {{m|SmokeScreen}}. It was then defeated by a {{m|Tackle}} from Weezing.
