EP116: Difference between revisions

Ash addresses Gary to pay attention and maybe he will learn something, like how to make the top sixteen of the [[Pokémon League]] and win the [[Orange League]]. Gary states that he is there to battle, not to talk, and implores what about Ash. Ash fervently exclaims that he is there to beat him, starting the battle by commanding Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}}. Pikachu runs forward, and Gary tells his Eevee to use {{m|Reflect}} attack. A barrier forms around Eevee, and Pikachu rams into it, dissipating it and sending Eevee into the air. Eevee lands without any discernible damage done, as Tracey states that he has seen a lot of Reflect attacks but never one like that. At Misty’s puzzlement, Tracey asks if it looks to her like Eevee felt the half of Pikachu’s Quick Attack, continuing that it does not seem so to him, looking more like Eevee did not feel it at all. Misty states that she guesses it means Gary’s Eevee is at a really high level. Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, but Gary tells his Eevee to use {{m|Double Team}}. Eevee performs the move, and Pikachu attempts to use Thunderbolt on all of them. As the illusionary copies vanish, Ash tells Pikachu to stop, for it is no use and to not waste its electricity. Gary looks to the side, commanding Eevee to use {{m|Take Down}} attack. Pikachu turns its head to the direction Gary looked in, as Eevee runs forward. Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Agility}}, which stops Eevee in its tracks as Pikachu dodges the potential execution of Take Down, with Eevee attempting to follow Pikachu’s movement. Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder}} attack, and Gary tells Eevee to use {{m|Skull Bash}}. Eevee collides into Pikachu, stunning it and causing it to release Thunder attack too late. Pikachu falls to the ground, weakened, while Eevee lands perfectly with no damage. Pikachu attempts to get up, but is unsuccessful and knocked out.  

Brock declares that the match is over, and Eevee is the winner. Ash runs up to Pikachu, holding it in his arms. On seeing Pikachu open its eyes, Ash congratulates Pikachu, saying it was a tough battle and it was great. Misty comments that at least they tried their best, and Professor Oak nods knowingly in agreement. Gary calls Eevee’s name, and Eevee scampers over with Gary lowering himself to pet Eevee’s head and congratulate it on the battle. Professor Oak walks over to Gary, stating that it looks like all the training he has been doing has paid off, claiming that he is very impressed with Gary’s progress. Gary rises, thanking his grandfather but replying that he still has a lot of work ahead of him, and raises Eevee’s Poké Ball to spin on his finger. Gary tells Ash that he did a great job, and catches the Poké Ball he was spinning. Gary recalls Eevee, and says goodbye to his grandfather as he prepares to depart. Ash stands up, and exclaims at Gary that next time it is going to be different. Gary continues forward, but raises one hand in the air as he walks, apparently in acknowledgment of Ash’s comment.

The male reporter explains that they are there to cover the very special occasion live, and the female reporter, approaching the food on the table, tells the male reporter to get a close-up of the food. The female reporter eats a bit of food, and looks over the bewildered persons present in the room. Delia approaches the reporters and demands who they are, but the male reporter asks if she is ready for her close-up, to which she attempts to pose for. The two reporters then proceed to eat some quantity of food, but Brock approaches the female reporter and, seeming suspicious, comments that she looks familiar. On the female reporter’s reminder that it is live (L-Ivy-E), Brock is sullen and does not further interact with them. The female reporter states that they will now be capturing this charming Pokémon (Pikachu in specific) on camera, to which she instructs the cameraman to move in for a closer shot to grab it. The cameraman then presses a button on the camera, and a glove comes out of the camera to grab Pikachu. Misty yells out that they are not reporters as they crash through and escape by means of a window.  

Ash and Mimey go through the space where the window previously was to pursue Team Rocket. Mimey projects several {{m|Light Screen}}s at Team Rocket, but Jessie and James escape. Jessie and James meet with Meowth, and James presents the camera, with Pikachu within, to Meowth. Ash tells Pikachu to use ThunderShock attack to blow its enclosure to pieces. Pikachu released ThunderShock, but it is unsuccessful as James explains it is rubber-reinforced. Ash then lifts his arm with the intention of bringing out another Pokémon, but a green flash speeds past him, being [[Tracey's Scyther]]. Tracey commands Scyther to use its Slash attack, and Scyther jumps into the air before performing the attack on the camera case. Pikachu is then released, much to the fright of Team Rocket. Ash commands Pikachu to show them its Thunderbolt attack, and Team Rocket is zapped by the attack. Tracey brings out Marill, and commands Marill to use Water Gun. Marill uses Water Gun on Team Rocket, blasting them off.
