Pokémon League entrance exam instructor: Difference between revisions

|desc={{p|Weezing}} is one of the many Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League entrance exam instructor. It was the first Pokémon used by {{Ash}} in the final portion of the exam.

The first out of three Pokémon received, Ash sent out Weezing to battle against the instructor's {{p|Flareon}}. He wasn't too pleased with his choice. {{Todd}} noted that his response held the same expression as Weezing and could not help but take a few pictures, which angered Ash even more. Flareon started with a {{m|Flamethrower}}, and as Weezing dodged the move, Ash came up with an idea, and told Weezing to use Smog. Flareon launched another Flamethrower at the Smog, but the attacks collided, resulting in an explosion that sent Flareon flying back. Flareon recovered from the blast and started to use Leer, which Ash countered by ordering Weezing to use Smokescreen. The tactic worked, as Flareon's Leer could not penetrate the smoke. Weezing then won the battle by using Tackle while Flareon was still trapped in the smoke. This was the only battle won by Ash in the battle portion of the exam.

Later, when {{TRT}} attacked, Ash used Weezing, Arbok, and Meowth to battle them. Weezing attacked [[James]] by blasting him with gas. Ash then told Weezing to use Explosion, which resulted in Team Rocket blasting off.

|desc={{p|Arbok}} is one of the Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League entrance exam instructor. It was used by {{Ash}} as his second Pokémon in the final portion of the test.

After his Weezing had been defeated, Ash sent Arbok out to battle against the instructor's {{p|Jolteon}}. Like with Weezing, Ash was not thrilled with this turn of events. Jolteon started the battle with {{m|Agility}}, and after a few moments of thinking, Ash started to remember Arbok's moves, and ordered a Glare attack. Though this worked initially, Ash made the mistake of following this up with Wrap, causing Arbok to run afoul of Jolteon's spikes. As Arbok hopped in pain, Jolteon was able to shake off the Glare and defeat Arbok with {{m|Thunder}}.

Later, when {{TRT}} attacked, Ash battled them using Arbok, Weezing, and Meowth. Arbok took on [[Jessie]], squeezing her with Wrap.

|desc={{p|Meowth}} is one of the Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League entrance exam instructor. It was the third and last Pokémon to be used by {{Ash}} in the final portion of the exam.

Ash sent Meowth to battle against the instructor's {{p|Vaporeon}}, and by now, having received yet another Pokémon owned by Team Rocket seemed to amuse him.  He initially did not remember what sort of attacks Meowth could use, but after hearing someone in the crowd calling for a Fury Swipes attack (that someone being {{TRT}}'s own {{MTR}}), he ordered Meowth to use Fury Swipes. However, Vaporeon was able to defeat Meowth almost immediately with a single {{m|Ice Beam}}.

When Team Rocket attacked, Ash used Meowth, Weezing, and Arbok against them. Meowth attacked its Team Rocket counterpart with Fury Swipes. When Weezing sent Team Rocket blasting off, they blasted off with the instructor's Meowth instead of their own, who was handed to the instructor by {{Todd}}. This temporary switch was fixed before the next episode.

Pikachu was the first Pokémon used by James in his battle portion of the exam, sent to battle against the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. When he first sent it out, James was overjoyed, noting that he had been destroyed by [[Ash's Pikachu]] so many times that he knew all of Pikachu's attacks by heart. This was viewed to be a rather lame exclamation by his team members, [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}}. James ordered Pikachu to use Thunderbolt and was quite pleased when Pikachu responded to his command. However, Thunderbolt proved to be useless and Graveler responded with a {{m|Tackle}}, which sent Pikachu bouncing off of James's head and rendering it unable to battle. At this point, James expressed his confusion as to why the Thunderbolt had not worked. The instructor explained that {{type|Electric}} attacks do not work against a {{t|Ground}} type like Graveler. This prompted to James to send out Ivysaur and Charizard, which caused him to be expelled from the exam.

Later, Meowth ordered Pikachu to use Thunder on the instructor but the instructor told it to turn around and attack {{TRT}} instead. At this point, it was officially mentioned that these Pokémon belonged to the instructor because he was the one who trained them.  

James sent Ivysaur out along with {{p|Charizard}} to battle against the instructor's {{p|Graveler}} after his Pikachu's quick defeat. However, since two against one was against the rules, James was expelled on the spot. He later returned and ordered Ivysaur to attack the instructor with Vine Whip but the instructor ordered Ivysaur to turn around and attack {{TRT}} instead. At this point, it was officially mentioned that these Pokémon belonged to the instructor because he was the one who trained them.

James sent it out along with {{p|Ivysaur}} to battle the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. However, since two against one was against the rules, James was expelled on the spot. He later used Charizard to attack the instructor with Flamethrower but the instructor ordered Charizard to attack {{TRT}} instead. At this point, it was officially mentioned that these Pokémon belonged to the instructor because he was the one who trained them.

|desc={{p|Graveler}} is one of the Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League entrance exam instructor. It was used by the instructor to battle against [[James]]'s Pikachu. Pikachu used {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which was ineffective against the part {{type|Ground}} Graveler. It then defeated Pikachu with Tackle.

|desc={{p|Vaporeon}} is one of the Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League entrance exam instructor. It was the third and last Pokémon used by the instructor in his match against {{Ash}}'s Meowth. Vaporeon used Ice Beam to freeze Ash's Meowth and end the battle.

|desc={{p|Jolteon}} is one of the Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League entrance exam instructor. It was the first Pokémon used by the instructor in his battle against {{Ash}}, used to face Ash's Arbok. Jolteon first started the battle with Agility but was stopped in its tracks by Arbok's {{m|Glare}}. When Arbok used {{m|Wrap}}, however, Jolteon's spikes sent it hopping back in pain. Jolteon then used Thunder to fry Arbok and end the battle.

|desc={{p|Flareon}} is one of the Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League entrance exam instructor. It was the second Pokémon used by the instructor in his battle against {{Ash}}, used to face Ash's Weezing. Flareon started the battle with Flamethrower but Weezing successfully dodged the attack. It then used Flamethrower again to counter Weezing's {{m|Smog}} attack but the explosion caused by the collision sent Flareon reeling back. Flareon then tried to use Leer but it was unable to penetrate Weezing's {{m|SmokeScreen}}. It was then defeated by a {{m|Tackle}} from Weezing.
