EP247: Difference between revisions

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are heading towards [[Blackthorn City]]. {{an|Brock}} is checking a guidebook when he notes that they are close. Then they see a [[Pokémon battle]] with a big crowd. They decide to check it out. When they get a closer look they see two trainers battling with {{p|Hitmontop}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}. Poliwrath uses {{m|Submission}} and the match is over! Poliwrath's trainer says the other trainer's name which is [[Mason]]. Ash is confused because he thought only fighting Pokémon learn Submission, and Poliwrath is a {{type2|Water}}. {{an|Misty}} explains that Poliwrath learns Submission when it evolves. Poliwrath and its trainer are cheered by the audience. Then Poliwrath's trainer declares he'd like another battle. Ash gladly steps up. Then Misty declares she wants to battle. Then Ash and Misty start arguing over the battle. Poliwrath's trainer then says that he'll battle both of them. The first battle is [[Misty's Poliwhirl]] vs the other trainer's Poliwrath. The battle starts with a collision of Water Guns. Poliwhirl then uses {{m|Bubble}}. Poliwrath dodges and uses {{m|DoubleSlap}}. The match ends with Poliwrath's Submission.

The next battle is Poliwrath vs {{AP|Bayleef}}. Bayleef starts off with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Poliwrath dodges and uses DoubleSlap. In the meantime, Poliwhirl begins to recover to watch the battle. Misty wants Poliwhirl to watch as it might [[evolution|evolve]] into Poliwrath someday. The match soon appears to be a bad match up for Bayleef as Poliwrath has Bayleef on two feet not four. Soon it is revealed {{TRT}} is watching. [[Jessie]] says she wants Poliwrath not {{AP|Pikachu}} this time. James and {{MTR}} agree, because if they had Poliwrath, Pikachu would be easier to catch. Meanwhile, both Bayleef and Poliwrath appear to be severely damaged. Bayleef uses a Tackle attack and Poliwrath uses DoubleSlap. Then all of a sudden, Brock stops the match. Both Ash and Poliwrath's trainer ask what the big deal is. Brock points out that both Pokémon are too injured to go on. When seeing this, the other trainer introduced himself as Delaney. Ash, Brock, and Misty introduce themselves too.  

* This is the third time an overly-confident trainer is well-known for his "unbeatable" Poliwrath. The other times were in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'' and ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''.
