As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are on their way to [[Nacrene City]], {{an|Cilan}} and {{an|Iris}} had stopped somewhere in the forest to battle. Ash, observing them from the side, questions why he isn't the one battling. Iris tells him that he is too serious, and a {{m|Volt Tackle}} from {{AP|Pikachu}} would be too unbearable for {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. She then commands Axew to use {{m|Scratch}} on {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}. Slowly, Axew trots over, and Pansage starts firing its {{m|Bullet Seed}} - one seed at a time. However, before Axew could even reach Pansage, the extremely gentle Bullet Seed attack proved too much for Axew, and Axew starts crying.

Iris runs over to console Axew and Ash hears her telling Axew that it was only a practice. Cilan then explains that they are practising so as to get Axew used to battle, and it was agreed previously that only 'soft' attacks at twenty percent will be used. Ash claims that battles are more productive when full effort is being put in, and Iris rebukes him for not being a gentleman and for acting like a child. Cilan tells Ash that as one of Axew's first battles, they should let Iris decide how it should be conducted, which Ash reluctantly agrees. | ||
When Axew is feeling better, Iris tells it to perform another Scratch attack on Pansage. Slowly, Axew trots over to Pansage, but the latter blocks its attacks by grabbing the fin on its head. As Axew flails its arms around, Iris complains and requests Cilan to be more serious. Cilan tells them that they ''are'' being serious; this is the strategy they usually employ in [[Gym]] battles: to block the opponent's attacks then follow up with a close-ranged attack. Pansage then charges its {{m|SolarBeam}}. As Iris panics, Ash asks if Axew knows any other moves it could use to counter. Iris then claims that it has one other move, but while contemplating on whether or not to use it, Pansage unleashes the SolarBeam attack which it had been charging: a tiny fleck of light which hits Axew squarely in the head and causes it to roll over. Shortly after, Ash tells Iris to let Axew use 'the other move' as using a variety of moves is also part of training. Frustrated, Iris orders Axew to use {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Axew starts charging energy, its belly glowing in blue light. As its mouth gapes open, ready to launch the attack at Pansage, it suddenly blunders, causing a gigantic explosion and a large crater to form. All but Axew were then covered in soot and severely surprised by the attack. | When Axew is feeling better, Iris tells it to perform another Scratch attack on Pansage.

<!--NO. | <!--NO. If you're editing this to mention that this is the first episode of the BW series where Ash's Oshawott doesn't appear, stop right there. It's been removed countless times, and it's for a reason. It is NOT notable trivia. It's only notable in cases like Pikachu, Meowth, Piplup, and Axew- you know, the ones that never go into their Poké Balls. In short, NOT Oshawott.--> | ||
