Fortree Gym: Difference between revisions

The Fortree Gym first appeared in ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} reached Fortree City. Although Ash was eager to challenge the Gym Leader to a battle right away, once he reached the top floor of the Gym, he was informed that the Gym Leader was actually in town celebrating a festival. Ash immediately rushed to the festival, where he met [[Winona]], who agreed to have a battle with him the following day.

Ash and Winona's Gym battle occurred in ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]''. After a challenging match, Ash was able to emerge victorious, earning him the {{badge|Feather}}.

|desc=The first Pokémon Winona used in her Gym battle against Ash was her {{p|Altaria}}. Altaria's attacks did not work against {{AP|Grovyle}} due to its speed. It was ultimately defeated with {{m|Leaf Blade}} despite having the type advantage.}}

|desc=Winona's {{p|Pelipper}} was the second Pokémon she used against Ash. Ash battled with {{AP|Pikachu}}, starting with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Pelipper countered with Steel Wing as a ground. Pelipper then used Hydro Pump, but its wing lost contact with the ground and Pikachu took advantage of its mistake to use {{m|Thunder}}. Both Pelipper and Pikachu were knocked out due to the damage they took.

|desc=The final Pokémon Winona used against Ash was her {{Shiny}} {{p|Swellow}}. It was a strong battler, using powerful attacks like Aerial Ace and Hyper Beam. It defeated Ash's Grovyle easily and almost defeated {{AP|Swellow}} as well, but with a little quick thinking on Ash's part, his Swellow was victorious, winning Ash the Feather Badge.

Winona's Swellow was the fifth Shiny Pokémon to appear in the {{pkmn|anime}}. It is also the first Shiny Pokémon owned by a Gym Leader.
