Kanto Route 7: Difference between revisions

Route 7 appeared in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'' as a rocky, mountainous area, as opposed to the green, grassy route seen in the {{pkmn|games}}. After calling {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stopped to have lunch, during which they were approached by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Mankey}}. Ash decided to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it, but Mankey blocked the [[Poké Ball]] with a [[rice ball]]. Mankey then proceeded to steal [[Ash's hat]] and taunt him, greatly angering the young Trainer. Before Ash could get his hat back, {{TRT}} showed up in yet another attempt to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}. When Mankey began sniffing at Team Rocket, [[James]] kicked it away, angering the [[Pokémon category|Pig Monkey Pokémon]] and causing it to evolve into a {{AP|Primeape}}.

Both groups were then forced to run away from the wildly {{m|thrash}}ing Primeape. Eventually, when Primeape caught up to Ash, the [[Pallet Town]] Trainer realized that he in order to become a better Trainer, he needed to catch more Pokémon, and as such, proceeded to battle Primeape. While {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} failed to weaken Primeape, {{AP|Charmander}} was luckier, as it ended up learning {{m|Rage}} during the battle, boosting its power the more it was attacked. Thanks to this, Charmander was able to defeat Primeape, allowing Ash to catch it. After using Primeape to send Team Rocket blasting off again, Ash and his friends found out that thanks to Primeape chasing them, they had arrived in [[Celadon City]] much faster than they had originally anticipated. While the group entered the city, Team Rocket found themselves from in the middle of a pack of angry Primeape.
