EP254: Difference between revisions

{{Ash}} and [[Clair]] are standing inside the [[Blackthorn Gym]], preparing to start their [[rematch]], which will be a three-on-three {{pkmn|battle}}. Clair chooses her {{p|Kingdra}}, while Ash leads off with {{AP|Snorlax}}, surprising Clair. Ash explains that he visited the [[Pokémon Center]] the day before and changed his Pokémon around. Ash starts the match with Snorlax's {{m|Hyper Beam}}, though Kingdra dodges the attack with {{m|Agility}}. Kingdra tries to hit Snorlax but just bounces off of its bulky body. Clair has Kingdra follow up with {{m|Swift}}, but the attack once again harmlessly bounces off of Snorlax. Ash tries to use Snorlax's {{m|Body Slam}}, but Kingdra dodges it with Agility. Kingdra hits Snorlax again, but Snorlax is unaffected. Clair notes that her attacks aren't working against Snorlax's big body, and has Kingdra use {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Ash tells Snorlax to dodge the attack, but it is unable to and is hit. Clair orders a Hyper Beam, which Snorlax narrowly avoids by diving into the battlefield’s pool. Ash congratulates Snorlax on its quick thinking before ordering a Body Slam. The attack lands, causing both Pokémon to sink underwater. However, Snorlax begins to weigh less, allowing Kingdra to float back to the surface unharmed. Clair tells Kingdra to use Hydro Pump once Snorlax comes up for air. This worries {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, but Ash tells Snorlax to jump out of the water. As Snorlax leaps into the air and Kingdra fires a Hydro Pump, Ash orders Snorlax to lean back, and it manages to successfully dodge the attack without sustaining any [[damage]]. Clair orders Kingdra to use Swift, but Ash tells Snorlax to just take it. Clair orders another Hydro Pump, but it only douses Snorlax's face. Kingdra is starting to look tired, and Brock realizes that Ash's plan must be to just wear Kingdra out, as Snorlax has a lot of endurance. Clair orders another Hyper Beam, but Snorlax dodges it once again by going underwater. With Kingdra's stamina starting to run low, Snorlax uses a {{m|Ice Punch}} which knocks Kingdra out of the match. After feeding [[Charla]], {{jo|Liza}} joins Brock and Misty on the sidelines to watch the unfolding match. Misty quickly pulls Brock aside as he begins to flirt, before filling Liza in on the current situation of the match.
