BW015: Difference between revisions

{{spoilers}}

Continuing their visit in [[Nacrene City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are being led through the Museum by [[Lenora]] and [[Hawes]]. Ash asks where the battlefield is, and {{an|Cilan}} remarks that there doesn't appear to be one on the premises. Lenora states that they'll find it soon enough as Hawes opens a door that is off-limits to their regular guests. Behind the door is a huge archive of research papers and priceless books. Cilan is especially impressed at the amount of history books on Pokémon Sommeliers. He then explains to Lenora that he's on this journey to experience different people and Pokémon, and Lenora wishes him luck on his studies.  

Lenora then asks Ash if he'd like to learn something about the history of the [[Unova]] region. He remarks that he's more interested in his Gym battle than studying, but Lenora mentions that knowledge is just as important in battle as strength. She then knocks on a book and recommends it for Ash, though he's less than interested in reading it. {{an|Iris}} tells him that it might be best that he read it since she's suggesting it to him, and Cilan remarks that it might be a test. Ash then decides he'll do anything for his Gym match so he pulls the book from the shelf and all of a sudden the bookcase rises revealing a hidden staircase leading to the basement. Lenora then confirms that it was all a test, and states that most Trainers just search for a book subject they are proficient in rather than the one she suggests. She then uses this response to define what kind of personality a Trainer has, and states that Ash has a personality she can pester. Iris remarks that Ash has the personality that gets told off all the time. Ash then challenges Lenora to study him carefully during their battle and with that, the five of them head down to the basement.

Lillipup's playfulness instantly transforms into fierce competition which surprises Iris. Ash calls out his {{AP|Tepig}} as his first Pokémon, but before it could do any damage, Lillipup forced Tepig back into his Poké Ball with {{m|Roar}} and a sleeping {{AP|Oshawott}} is sent out in his place. Lenora then explains that Roar forces the opponent to switch Pokémon as she recalls her Lillipup and sends out Watchog. Ash pulls out a Poké Ball to return Oshawott, but Watchog stops him with {{m|Mean Look}}. Everyone is impressed by Lenora's strategy to catch her opponent off guard by destroying their strategy. Ash orders Oshawott to use {{m|Water Gun}}, however Oshawott is very bitter about being sent out while it was napping so he uses half the force of a normal Water Gun. Oshawott is suddenly knocked off his feet when Watchog unleashes a quick {{m|Low Kick}}. This infuriates Oshawott who is now confident for battle, as is Lenora who is orders Watchog to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Ash quickly orders Oshawott to deflect it with his scalchop, which surprises both Watchog and Lenora. Oshawott then charges into the fray, and Watchog attacks with another Low Kick, but before either of them hit, Oshawott jumps up and unleashes a powerful Water Gun. Oshawott charges towards Watchog once more and pulls out a {{m|Razor Shell}} and Lenora orders Watchog to slap the scalchop away with its tail. With his scalchop gone Oshawott is defenseless which Lenora uses to order another Thunderbolt which knocks Oshawott out.
