Ash's Quilava: Difference between revisions

In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out!]]'', Ash used Cyndaquil as his first Pokémon in his [[Azalea Gym]] Battle, it went up against [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Spinarak}}. Although Misty thought Cyndaquil was a good choice, it was tired and its flame wasn't ignited. After using its agility to dodge Spinarak's {{m|String Shot}}, Bugsy had Spinarak used String Shot on the whole field, getting Cyndaquil's feet stuck. Ash tried to get Cyndaquil to use Flamethrower, but it didn't work, with Ash noticing that it must take time for Cyndaquil to warm up. Spinarak then hit Cyndaquil with {{m|Poison Sting}}, just as it was about to hit Cyndaquil with another one, Ash recalled Cyndaquil back and chose {{AP|Chikorita}}. Later it went up against Bugsy's last and most powerful Pokémon, his {{p|Scyther}}. Cyndaquil was still unable to light its flame, Scyther used {{m|Fury Cutter}}, which was easily dodged by its agility. Scyther then used {{m|Double Team}}, Cyndaquil was finally able to use its flames, and launched Flamethrower, destroying all the clones but the real Scyther used {{m|Swords Dance}} like a fan to block Flamethrower. It then hit Cyndaquil with {{m|Slash}}. After realizing normal attacks wouldn't work, Ash came up with an idea. Scyther prepared to use Fury Cutter but Cyndaquil used Flamethrower but Bugsy called it a bad idea and used Swords Dance, Ash then had Cyndaquil jump instead and use Flamethrower directly above Scyther as the Swords Dance fan wouldn't work, it then finished Scyther off with Tackle, winning Ash the battle and earning him the {{badge|Bug}}.
