Flint's Infernape: Difference between revisions

Infernape debuted in ''Flint Sparks the Fire!'', where it saved Ash from Volkner's Gym's arm machines that had grabbed him as he refused to take a free Badge, which Volkner was now giving away due to loss of passion. Fruitlessly trying to convince him to have the battle, the decision was made for Flint to battle Ash in his place, which Volkner agreed to watch. Taking on {{AP|Buizel}} as its first opponent, Buizel started out with {{m|Water Gun}}, which Infernape dodged with a high jump. With Infernape still in the air, Ash ordered Buizel to use {{m|Ice Punch}}, which it easily blocked, having its hands frozen in the process. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Buizel then unleashed {{m|Sonic Boom}}, only to have his hands freed. As its fourth move, Buizel went out charging with {{m|Aqua Jet}}, countered by Infernape's {{m|Flare Blitz}}, which knocked Buizel out of the match. Infernape's next opponent was none other than {{AP|Infernape}}. Ash's Infernape started off with a {{m|Flame Wheel}}, which Flint's evades. It then used a series of {{m|Mach Punch}}es, all of which were dodged. Despite a vigorous attempt, Ash's Infernape proved no match either, as it was knocked out by an exceedingly powerful Mach Punch, earning Flint's Infernape two wins in a row. As its last opponent it faced {{AP|Pikachu}}. Unlike the last two, it held on well. During the battle, it sparked the flashback of Volkner battling side-by-side with Flint in the woods. After a long battle, Pikachu went charging with Volt Tackle, clashed by Infernape's {{m|Thunder Punch}}. As Pikachu was finally unable to continue, Flint was awarded the win of the match.
