DP184: Difference between revisions

The battle of Paul and Barry is about to begin. A rock field will be the battlefield for their battle. Barry and Paul appears on both side of the battlefield. Barry chooses {{p|Skarmory}} as his first Pokémon and Paul chooses {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}. Dawn checks the data of Skarmory on her Pokédex. Barry starts the battle with {{m|Spikes}}. Paul tells Magmortar to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, the strong attack defeats Skarmory immediately. Skarmory is declared out of battle. Barry thanks his Skarmory and returns it to its [[Poké Ball]]. He sends out {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}}. Empoleon uses {{m|Hydro Cannon}} and inflicts damage on Magmortar. However, to Barry's dismay, Paul calls back Magmortar. He chooses {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}. The Spikes from before inflicts a damage on Ursaring. Barry returns Empoleon. He chooses {{p|Hitmonlee}}. Paul tells Ursaring to use {{m|Bulk Up}}. Hitmonlee uses {{m|Mega Kick}}. Ursaring uses {{m|Hammer Arm}} but Hitmonlee dodges it by jumping on a rock. Ursaring uses {{m|Slash}} and Barry tells Hitmonlee to dodge it all. Then, Hitmonlee uses {{m|Close Combat}}. Ursaring uses Hammer Arm again and hits Hitmonlee. As Hitmonlee is about to crash onto a rock, Barry tells it to do its best. It jumps up high and uses {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. It crashes to the ground and hits Ursaring with its other leg. Paul tells it to use {{m|Focus Blast}}. Although Hitmonlee dodges it by jumping behind a rock, the strong impact hits Hitmonlee. Ursaring uses Hammer Arm again, Hitmonlee counters it by using {{m|Blaze Kick}}, burning Ursaring. Ursaring activates {{a|Guts}} and uses Hammer Arm to counter Hitmonlee's Blaze Kick. The strong impact causes a smoke that clears soon after. Both Pokémon are seen standing up but Hitmonlee falls later. Hitmonlee is defeated. Outside the stadium, Team Rocket saw the battle outside the stadium on the TV screen. A {{p|Murkrow}} jokingly flies past them. James reminds them again of their store. Jessie says that nobody wants to buy, but James thought of a great idea. He runs off.

Barry chooses his Empoleon again. Paul tells Ursaring to use {{m|Slash}} and Empoleon uses {{m|Drill Peck}}. Both Pokémon are injured. Ursaring uses Focus Blast and Empoleon uses {{m|Steel Wing}} to reflect the attack. The Focus Blast is sent back to Ursaring, injuring it. Paul calls Ursaring back, and sends {{TP|Paul|Electivire}} out. The {{m|Spikes}} hit Electivire. Dawn checks {{p|Electivire}} on her Pokédex. Dawn comments that Barry is about to lose. Empoleon uses {{m|Hyper Beam}} and Electivire counters it with {{m|Thunder}}. The attacks collide and causes a huge smoke. The smoke clears and shows Empoleon breathing heavily, needing to recharge after using Hyper Beam. Electivire uses {{m|ThunderPunch}} and Barry tells Empoleon to dodge it. Paul tells Electivire to continue using ThunderPunch, but Barry tells Empoleon to dodge it all. However, Empoleon is cornered. Electivire uses {{m|Giga Impact}} at point blank range and hits Empoleon. Empoleon manages to stand up. Electivire uses ThunderPunch once more and Empoleon falls back, hitting many rocks behind. Empoleon tries to get up. Barry yells it to continue doing its best, Empoleon hears it and its {{a|Torrent}} ability is activated. Empoleon uses {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. Its {{a|Torrent}} ability powers up its {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, which is strong enough to destroy the rocky terrain of the field. Ash, Brock and Dawn are all pleased with this break though, though Paul just orders Electivire to use {{m|Protect}}. Hydro Cannon hits the protective shielding and Electivire is unaffected by Empoleon's last resort. Empoleon has to recharge from the attack. Electivire finishes it the battle off with {{m|Thunder}}. Empoleon stands still, taking the damage of the Thunder. Barry yells out to Empoleon. Paul is declared the winner. Barry thanks his Empoleon for the great battle.
