AG187: Difference between revisions

==Blurb==

<i>Ash is still recovering from his defeat at the Battle Pyramid, while May is also melancholy about her own defeat at the Grand Festival. Professor Oak shows up at the Pokémon Center in Fennel Valley, with a special care package meant to cheer Ash up. It contains a poster with the prints of his Pokémon, a fishing lure from Misty, and food from his mother. There's even a postcard from Gary in Sinnoh, which gets Ash thinking about their rivalry and actually pulls him out of his funk.

==Plot==

At the [[Pokémon Center]], Professor Oak gives Ash a banner made by {{Tracey}} and his Pokémon, {{an|Misty}}'s lure, and a box of food from his {{Delia|mom}}. Several of Professor Oak's fans were admiring him from and taking pictures. Ash was able to recognize everyone's Pokémon prints. {{ashfr|Ash's friends}} tell are impressed that he knows whose prints they are. Professor Oak hands Ash a postcard from {{Gary}} from the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. Ash pictures Gary telling him that he shouldn't let a loss get him down, especially after Ash was able to defeat Gary before. Ash decides that he is going to work even harder and won't lose against Brandon again. Professor Oak recites a poem for Ash to help him, while a [[Nurse Joy]] runs up to him and asks for his autograph. A {{TP|Drew|Roselia}} goes up to May as she realizes that [[Drew]] must be there as well. Nurse Joy goes up to him also and asks for his autograph. Drew asks how May is doing after her recent loss and she says that she is doing okay. Drew suggests that they have a Pokémon battle, since it is better than just being depressed all of the time. Brock says that it would give her mind a much needed rest. {{TRT}} arrives dressed as [[Mr. Sukizo]], [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]], and Nurse Joy and suggest that they should be the ones to judge. {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}} uses {{m|Bullet Seed}} to reveal that they are really Team Rocket.

May brings out {{TP|May|Combusken}} and Beautifly, while Drew brings out {{p|Butterfree}} and Roselia. May's friends comment on how Beautifly and Combusken have not been seen together on the stage before. Combusken uses {{m|Fire Spin}} and Beautifly uses Psychic to create a fire version of the Blizzard and Psychic combo that Skitty and Beautifly did before. It looked like a horizontal flame tornado. Roselia used {{m|Petal Dance}} to break up the flames, and Beautifly used Psychic to send those flames again towards the opponents. Roselia uses {{m|Magical Leaf}} to break it up into fiery leaves. Combusken goes after the opponent to attack, but Butterfree uses {{m|Gust}} to send the flaming leaves right at Combusken and Beautifly. The judges comment on how May's combinations were good, but Drew's were a lot better. May tells Beautifly and Combusken to focus their energy on Butterfree. Butterfree uses {{m|Psybeam}} while Combusken dodges and uses {{m|Sky Uppercut}} which hits its mark. Roselia uses Petal Dance while Beautifly uses {{m|Silver Wind}}, but the petals turn white and are sent right at Combusken and Beautifly. Team Rocket and Harley make a comment about being glad they are in the crowd and not on stage. Combusken uses {{m|Overheat}} at maximum power, but Butterfree uses {{m|Protect}} to completely block the attack. Roselia uses {{m|SolarBeam}} and Butterfree uses Psybeam to land a [[critical hit]] on Combusken and Beautifly to knock them out. Drew wins the battle. May compliments Combusken and Beautifly on their hard work.
