Paul's Torterra: Difference between revisions

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', Torterra helped Paul's brutal training of {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}. It fired {{m|Hyper Beam}} for Chimchar to dodge, followed by a {{m|Leaf Storm}} which trapped and badly injured Chimchar. In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' it was used in the semi-finals of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. It was paired off with [[Ash's Staravia]] and was up against [[Brock's Croagunk]] and [[Holly]]'s {{p|Farfetch'd}}. Paul showed total disregard for Ash, ordering Torterra to blast Farfetch'd with Hyper Beam, not caring that Staravia was hit as well. With Farfetch'd out, Croagunk challenged Torterra and managed to damage it with a powerful Brick Break to the head, similar to its battle against Garchomp. Before Croagunk could follow up, Torterra recharged and hit Croagunk with Leaf Storm, winning the round single-handedly.

In ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', Torterra saw the battle between [[Ash's Turtwig]] and [[Paul's Honchkrow]]. It also witnessed the evolution of Turtwig and his loss of speed. Later on, it used Frenzy Plant against Paul's Weavile in a practice battle to improve Torterra's reflexes; however, it remained distracted by Ash's Grotle who was in the Pokémon Center at the time. While Ash's Grotle was training to become faster, Torterra came forwards on its own to show him that a Pokémon could still be powerful by coping with its lack of speed with strong defense. To prove this, it battled [[Ash's Gliscor]] in a practice match. After teaching this, Torterra returned to Paul's camp. Paul, while curious as to where Torterra had gone, did not push the issue.
