BW078: Difference between revisions

==Synopsis==

Ash, interested in Brycen’s training, asks him about it and if he may join him. Brycen agrees, so Ash releases {{AP|Krokorok}} from his Poké Ball. Brycen and Beartic begin with a handstand, which Ash and Krokorok shakily do as well. Brycen and Beartic then hop on one hand over to Ash and push off backward to land in battle poses, impressing everyone else with their strength. Ash and Krokorok try to do the same thing, but Ash falls onto his Pokémon shortly after removing his hand. In the next challenge, Ash and Krokorok must jump across large rocks, but both end up slipping and falling. Brycen demonstrates the next challenge by running up to and splitting a large rock in half with a powerful punch. Beartic completely shatters another rock with {{m|Ice Punch}}, a move Cilan remembers seeing in the movies. Ash and Krokorok both punch a rock as hard they can, but it doesn’t even chip and they end up just hurting their hands. Next, Brycen and Beartic jump from the top of a waterfall and dive into the water. They emerge shortly thereafter, landing on posing on some rocks. Ash and Krokorok are about to do the same thing, but Krokorok fears water since he is a {{type|Ground}}. Ash tries to push him off of the top, but Krokorok dodges, accidentally sending Ash down into the water.

Lightning crashes down across the forest as the battle is about to commence. Jellicent makes the first move with Hydro Pump, but Krokorok jumps and dodges. Krokorok uses {{m|Crunch}}, but Jellicent escapes into the air and uses Hydro Pump, hitting his opponent squarely. Krokorok gets back up and uses {{m|Stone Edge}} successfully twice in a row. Jellicent slams against a cliff and collapses. Krokorok runs over to use Crunch, but Jellicent pushes him backward with his large body. Ash tells Krokorok to use Crunch on Jellicent’s underside, but Jellicent’s {{m|Hex}} forces his mouth open and propels him into the ground. His mouth appears to be hurting, to the dismay of Ash and his friends. Jellicent uses Confuse Ray, but Krokorok evades with {{m|Dig}}. He pops up underneath Jellicent and hits, followed by a Crunch to the face. The spectators note that {{type|Dark}} moves are strong against {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. Ash calls for another Crunch, but Jellicent uses Hex to stop Krokorok in his tracks and slam him against the cliff. Jellicent uses Confuse Ray, which Krokorok again avoids with Dig. Upon reemergence, Krokorok uses Crunch on Jellicent’s face again and he falls down. Brycen declares Ash the winner. Just as Ash is about to win, the hunter calls out another Jellicent, this one female. Ash says only a coward would use a second Pokémon. Both Jellicent then use a combined Hydro Pump on Krokorok, knocking him and Volcarona into the motorcycle’s trailer cage. Rinzō laughs at getting Krokorok as a bonus and begins to walk away. Before Ash can act, Brycen steps in and says that Rinzō gives humans a bad name, and prepares for battle with Beartic. The hunter calls for another double Hydro Pump, but Beartic’s {{m|Brine}} is strong enough to counter the combination attack. Beartic uses Brine again, hitting both opponents. It next uses Ice Punch, but is stopped by the male Jellicent’s Hex. Beartic struggles for a while and manages to break the Hex and hit both of the Jellicent with an Ice Punch from both of its paws. Rinzō calls for a double Confuse Ray this time, but Beartic dodges and jumps off of the Jellicent’s heads. Another dual Ice Punch sends the Jellicent tumbling into the cage, which frees Krokorok and Volcarona. The Jellicent do another double Hydro Pump on Beartic, but it jumps over them and finishes the battle with one last dual Ice Punch, sending the hunter and his Pokémon flying. Iris frees Volcarona from the net and Ash checks on Krokorok as the enemy team launches into the air and lands in their own cage. After Brycen’s farewell, Volcarona flies away to live in peace.
