Ash's Krookodile: Difference between revisions

In ''[[BW078|Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!]]'', Ash chose Krokorok for some special training with [[Brycen]] and his {{p|Beartic}}. When the training began, Krokorok and Ash had problems following Brycen and Beartic's techniques, especially when they had to jump down a waterfall and Krokorok refused to, due to his fear of water. Later, Krokorok was used in a battle against [[Pokémon poacher]] [[Rizzo]] in an attempt to free the guardian, {{p|Volcarona}}, of the mountain they were training on. He battled a {{p|Jellicent}} and was hit by a super-effective {{m|Hydro Pump}} after missing with Crunch. Regardless, Krokorok got back up and landed several hits on his opponent with Stone Edge before using Crunch again, though it was deflected. Krokorok attempted Crunch from a different angle, only to receive a painful hit from Jellicent's {{m|Hex}} attack. Persevering, Krokorok avoided his opponent's {{m|Confuse Ray}} with Dig and finally landed an effective hit with Crunch on the {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. Krokorok tried another Crunch, only to be stopped by Hex again, though he dodged Confuse Ray with Dig and hit Jellicent with Crunch, as he did before. Rizzo then brought out a second, female, Jellicent which hit Krokorok with her Confuse Ray. Krokorok was then hit by a double Hydro Pump and sent into Rizzo's cage along with Volcarona. He and the Sun Pokémon were eventually rescued by Brycen and Beartic.   

In ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'', Krokorok was pumped up for the upcoming Gym battle and accompanied Ash to the Gym outside of his Poké Ball. He started off battling Brycen's {{p|Vanillish}}, and began with a Crunch, but was halted by Vanillish's {{m|Astonish}}. After the collision of Stone Edge and {{m|Icicle Spear}}, Vanillish launched a {{m|Blizzard}} that {{status|froze}} Krokorok while he was attempting to dodge with Dig. After being knocked while frozen by {{m|Mirror Shot}}, Ash recalled Krokorok, though the Mirror Shot thawed him. He was later sent out to battle against Beartic. Krokorok's Stone Edge was deflected by Beartic's defensive {{m|Icicle Crash}}, causing the Stone Edge to hit Krokorok and then Krokorok's Crunch was countered by {{m|Ice Punch}} freezing his mouth. Krokorok narrowly escaped a super-effective {{m|Brine}} by using his tail to jump onto an ice pillar, climbing it, this enabled him to shake off the ice, then finally landing a direct hit with a super-effective Stone Edge whilst mid-air. Krokorok was then able to land a direct hit with Dig; however, this allowed Beartic the chance to grab him by the tail and throw him across the battlefield into a large mound of ice. However, he then broke free. Seeing the broken ice made Ash think of Stone Edge and gave him an idea. Ash then ordered a Stone Edge attack that was deflected again by Icicle Crash. However, Krokorok jumped up and grabbed two of the stones, charging down from the air with the Stone Edge in hand to meet Beartic's Aerial Ace attack. After the collision, Beartic was knocked out, leaving Krokorok the victor and winning Ash the {{badge|Freeze}}.

In ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris, and Trip: Then There Were Three!]]'', Ash used Krokorok during his battle against [[Iris's Dragonite]] in the semi-final round of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Krokorok's attacks were initially dodged and he was hit by {{m|Flamethrower}}. Krokorok managed to dodge many of Dragonite's attacks with Dig, though he still took some hits, and clamped down on his opponent's tail with Crunch. He was thrown off but still managed to hit Dragonite with Stone Edge before missing with Crunch and getting hit by Flamethrower. Krokorok tried another Crunch attack but was rapidly hit by two Flamethrower attacks and an Ice Beam. To everyone's surprise, Krokorok then evolved into {{p|Krookodile}} and hit his opponent with a newly learned Dragon Claw. Dragonite then began to thrash about, launching its attacks all over the place in temper, but Ash ordered Krookodile to attack anyway. Krookodile was finally able to win the match by easily dodging Dragonite's {{m|Dragon Rush}} with Dig and landing a direct hit with Stone Edge.
