AG127: Difference between revisions

Ash, Morrison and a lot of other trainers are waiting to hear the matchups for the second round of the Hoenn League. [[Nurse Joy]] explains that this round will have opponents face off in one-round [[double battles]] in order to advance.  

Morrison orders a {{m|Flamethrower}} and a {{m|Fury Cutter}}, but Machamp blocks his attacks with {{m|Protect}}. Growlithe desperately tries to evade Marowak's bone attacks, but suffers a lot of damage. Gligar suffers from a {{m|DynamicPunch}}, but quickly counters with a Metal Claw and Machamp is knocked out!  

Now it's a 2-on-1 in Morrison's favor. Growlithe tries to use Flamethrower again, but Marowak jumps up and uses {{m|Bone Club}}. Growlithe is out and the match is down to one-on-one.  

Marowak uses an {{m|Ice Beam}} to try and freeze Gligar while launching a {{m|Bonemerang}}. But Gligar counters the Bonemerang with Iron Tail, sending the bone flying back at Marowak and knocking it out.  

Morrison wins!

Later that day, Ash stands at the same battlefield ready for his first match. He sends out [[Ash's Corphish|Corphish]] and [[Ash's Torkoal|Torkoal]] to do battle with a {{p|Swalot}} and {{p|Tropius}}. Swalot quickly proves to be the more difficult opponent, with most attacks simply bouncing off (much like [[Ash's Muk]] in its first [[Indigo League]] battle).  

Now Corphish has to face Swalot alone. Things look bad for Ash when Swalot launches a {{m|Shock Wave}} attack. But Ash gets the idea to have Corphish use {{m|BubbleBeam}} at point-blank range, with no chance for Swalot to avoid.
