Winstrate family: Difference between revisions

In ''[[AG046|Candid Camerupt]]'', {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Max]] were lost in the desert and saved by the Winstrate family. After giving them a tour of their house and yard, they decided to challenge them to a 4 on 4 battle. First, Brock battled against Victor. [[Brock's Mudkip]] was quickly defeated by Victor's {{p|Zigzagoon}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}, much to the group's surprise.

Next, May, who used {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, fought against Victoria and her {{p|Roselia}}. May won the round by using a strategy similar to that of the one she used against [[Drew's Roselia]] in the {{ci|Slateport}} [[Pokémon Contest]], defeating her opponent with {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Silver Wind}}.

In the next round, Max borrowed [[Ash's Corphish]] to fight against Vivi and her {{p|Marill}}. Max ordered Corphish to go easy on Marill, but Corphish ignored him and viciously attacked Marill, causing an instant knockout. This gave Max the win, but it was a hollow victory, as he had a crush on Vivi and because of that loss she no longer showed interest in him.

For the final round, Ash and Pikachu went up against Vicky and {{p|Camerupt}}. Unfortunately, as Pikachu's {{m|Iron Tail}} hit Camerupt in the face, it got angry, and started using {{m|Eruption}} and rampaging around, threatening the Winstrate's harvest. Thankfully, Vito, the son of the family, had been watching, and used his {{p|Alakazam}}'s {{m|Rain Dance}} to calm down Camerupt. The match between Pikachu and Camerupt was ultimately declared to be a draw. Just then, {{TRT}} arrived and attempted to steal Pikachu, but thanks to Vito, the villains were sent blasting off again. Afterwards, the group went on their way.

|desc=Victor called out his {{p|Zigzagoon}} during his match against [[Brock's Mudkip]]. With its speed and surprising {{t|Electric}} attacks it was easily able to defeat {{p|Mudkip}}. Zigzagoon is also used to generate electricity for the family.

|desc=Victoria Winstrate used {{p|Roselia}} against [[May's Beautifly]]. When May remembered that Drew used a {{TP|Drew|Roselia}} in their battle before, she became determined to beat it. {{p|Beautifly}} quickly defeated Victoria's Roselia in two hits without getting hit itself. Roselia has also been unable to defeat other opponents that it has battled with.

|desc=When it was Vivi's turn to battle, she used her {{p|Marill}} against [[Ash's Corphish]] that was temporarily given to Max. Due to Corphish not following Max's commands and battling more fiercely than Max had wanted, Marill quickly lost. The harsh defeat of her Pokémon in battle caused Vivi to lose interest in Max.

|desc={{p|Camerupt}} was first seen going up to Ash and his friends in a desert after they fell from exhaustion. It took them to the Winstrate family who eventually challenged {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to a battle. A few rounds later when it was Vicky Winstrate's turn, she used this Camerupt against {{AP|Pikachu}}. Camerupt lost its temper after being hit by an {{m|Iron Tail}} in the face. The battle had to be stopped as Camerupt started to go on a rampage using Eruption in the process. With no choice, Vito called out his {{p|Alakazam}} to use {{m|Rain Dance}} to calm Camerupt. Even though the battle was canceled, Ash was still declared the winner. When the group was leaving, Camerupt used an Eruption again, but now as a way of saying farewell.

|desc=Vito's {{p|Alakazam}} was used to rescue the Winstrates and Ash and his friends from Camerupt's rampage by setting off a rain. He also used it to save Ash's {{p|Pikachu}} from {{TRT}}.

|desc=Vito used his {{p|Swellow}} to puncture [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's balloon]] and send the villains blasting off again.

In the [[Ash & Pikachu]] manga, the Winstrate family appears in ''[[SP22|A Pokémon Battle Against An Entire Family?!]]''.
