DP106: Difference between revisions

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are still waiting at the [[Canalave City]] [[Pokémon Center]] for the [[Byron|local Gym Leader]] to return, and {{an|Dawn}} watches the latest {{pkmn|Contest}} news on TV, where it is reported that {{si|Kenny}} has won his third [[Ribbon]] while [[Nando]] has won his fourth. Dawn then hears that the next Contest is due to take place in [[Chocovine Town]]. Dawn decides to enter and use {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} for this Contest. Ash and his Pokémon decide to train for the upcoming Gym battle to pass the time and Dawn chooses to train with them, eager to get Piloswine ready for its first Contest appearance.  

Ash is training on the battlefield for his sixth [[Badge]], but as Dawn calls out Piloswine, it refuses to obey her commands, though she dismisses this in the beginning due to Piloswine having only recently evolved. She commands her Piloswine to use {{m|Take Down}}, though instead it uses {{m|Dig}} to hide underground. {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} volunteers to retrieve Piloswine, however this turns out to be the wrong move and as a result it charges Piplup for touching its fur. Nevertheless, this manages to get Piloswine above ground. Brock suggests that it might just be hungry. Therefore Dawn gives it [[Poffin]]s which certainly gets it moving when she throws it some. But after she stops giving Piloswine Poffins, it makes its dislike for her known as it charges directly at her, whilst knocking Piplup out of the way. Dawn and Ash begin running, as Piloswine charges and even starts attacking them with {{m|Ice Shard}}. {{AP|Gliscor}} volunteers to help stop Piloswine, but Ash instead commands {{AP|Grotle}} to help. Grotle stands its ground while being half-frozen with Ice Shard. Ash then commands Gliscor to use {{m|Screech}}. Unfortunately the attack doesn't stop Piloswine and Gliscor manages to get partially frozen, and Gliscor starts to tear up as usual when suddenly Gliscor's mouth starts to fill with fire which quickly melts the ice. The group realizes that Gliscor has just learned {{m|Fire Fang}}, and Gliscor uses its new move to free Grotle while Piloswine is now charging at Dawn and Ash again. Piplup is once again catapulted by the rampaging Piloswine and is saved by Gliscor. Then {{an|Brock}} calls out {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} to stop Piloswine dead in its tracks with her incredible strength, which she manages to do. Ash suggests that maybe a battle is what Piloswine needs to bring it into line.
