BW031: Difference between revisions

Meanwhile, [[Trip]] is seen trying to catch a {{p|Palpitoad}}. He freezes it with an attack by his {{DL|Trip|Vanillite}} and prepares to catch it. However, Ash stumbles in and accidentally crushes the ice that the Palpitoad had been frozen in. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] to see what it is. Palpitoad then runs off and jumps into a nearby lake, causing Trip to miss his chance to catch it. Ash then realizes that Trip and his Vanillite are next to them. Ash points his Pokédex at the Vanillite, and Trip responds to Ash by explaining how he was in the middle of capturing the Palpitoad. Ash then apologizes and explains that it was an accident. Afterward, Iris jumps from a tree down to Ash and Trip. Iris's Axew then notices Trip's Vanillite, causing Iris to become frightened. Iris explains that she has developed a fear of {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon, so Trip recalls the Vanillite to its [[Poké Ball]]. Trip begins to walk off when Ash starts questioning Iris about her fear. Trip then walks back and proceeds to take pictures of both Iris and her Axew and then continues to talk about Iris's fear.

Trip continues to criticize Iris and her Axew and continues to talk about how she trains her Pokémon. Iris tries to think of a good example with her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} or {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} but cannot think of anything. Ash interrupts by offering a [[Pokémon battle]] against Trip, but Trip denies it and begins to walk off. Iris crosses her arms and explains that denying such a request makes Trip seem like a child. This causes Trip to become angry and accept Ash's offer. The two challenge each other to a 3-on-3 battle, where whoever gets the best 2 out of 3 wins is victorious. Trip begins the battle by sending out his {{TP|Trip|Servine}}. Ash then sends out his {{AP|Snivy}} and the battle begins!  

Trip begins to criticize Ash's choice of starting off with Snivy against his Servine and explains that Ash will never be a [[Pokémon Champion]] with strategies such as his. Ash assures that he is confident with his plan and that his Snivy is capable of defeating Trip's Servine once again. The battle begins with Trip's Servine using {{m|Leaf Tornado}} where Ash counters it by having his Snivy use {{m|Leaf Storm}}. The two attacks collide and Trip immediately orders his Servine to use {{m|Cut}}. Ash orders his Snivy to dodge and then  use {{m|Attract}}. Trip counters the hearts of the Attract attack by once again using Leaf Tornado, causing all of the hearts of the attack to vanish and render the Attract attack useless. Trip explains that he won't fall for the same strategy again and that he learned from his mistake last time. He then orders his Servine to once again use Cut. Ash orders his Snivy to Leaf Blade. However, Servine's Cut overpowers Snivy and causes Snivy to faint. This leaves Trip with one win.
