May wonders if she should do that with {{TP|May|Torchic}}, but Ash suggests maybe looking it up in her [[Pokédex]]. She gets it out and tries searching for Torchic, but on the road is an {{p|Azurill}}. May wants to catch it, so she tries just tossing a Poké Ball and snags the Azurill, but the ball breaks open. May doesn't know what's going on, but Ash explains that she needs to {{pkmn|battle}} the Azurill and wear it down before she can catch it. | ||
May sends out her Torchic to battle. While she was thinking about Torchic's attacks, Azurill runs with Torchic tagging behind. Azurill manages to get Torchic to run into a tree, May goes over to see if it's alright. The Azurill still wants to fight, Torchic chases after it again. May then says to use {{m|Peck}}. Torchic goes full speed at the Azurill, but the Azurill dodges, leaving Torchic pecking another tree. May says to Torchic that it missed, so Torchic finds and chases the {{type|Normal}} Pokémon. Finally, Azurill makes Torchic slam into a rock. Torchic is down, but not out, and manages to chase the Azurill into some bushes. Torchic fires an {{m|Ember}} attack, and everyone goes to see what happened. On the other side is a very angry Azurill, along with a burnt, but very mad {{p|Azumarill}} and {{p|Marill}}. They all simultaneously spray {{m|Water Gun}} at Torchic, [[Fainting|knocking it out]] in one shot. Ash scares them off by having Pikachu land a {{m|Thunderbolt}} near them. Then the water trio escape into a pond. | May sends out her Torchic to battle. While she was thinking about Torchic's attacks, Azurill runs with Torchic tagging behind.
