[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: With Ash's eighth Gym badge and entry into the Sinnoh

League on the line, Ash now challenges Volkner once again!

But will he be victorious and win the coveted Beacon Badge?

DAWN: Okay! Since Ash cheered for me at the Grand Festival,

it's time to return the favor and cheer for him as

hard as I can! BUNEARY: [AGREEMENT]

DAWN: Do it, do it, fight fight fight! Come on, Ash, and do it

right! Show us just how great you are! You can do it!

You're a star! Yeah!

VOLKNER: Welcome back! Today's a great day for a battle.

So let's give it all we've got, agreed?

ASH: Of course! I'm really looking forward to it!

REFEREE MECH: The Sunyshore Gym battle between Volkner, the Gym

Leader, and Ash, the challenger, will now begin! It will be a

three-on-three battle,

REFEREE MECH : and the battle will be over when all three

Pokémon on either side are unable to continue! Furthermore,

only the challenger is allowed to substitute Pokémon!

FLINT: Word's getting around that Volkner's back, and

challengers are lining up to battle him.but Volkner promised

his first opponent was going to be Ash. There's no doubt

Volkner's really fired up, especially after his last battle

against Ash was called off after all that craziness went down!

FLINT: Can't wait!

ASH: I'm going to get my eighth badge, no matter what!

PIKACHU: [DETERMINED]

It's about you It's about me

It's about hope It's about dreams

It's about friends that work together

To claim their destiny

It's about reaching for the skies

Pokemon!

Given the courage And willing to try

It's about never giving up So hold your head up

And we will carry on... Sinnoh League Victors

Pokemon!

JESSIE: We may have come up short stealing Sunyshore Tower

once before, but today we're going to right that wrong and

give that slick solar-powered system to the

Boss as a green gift!

JAMES: I happen to know that tower like the back of my glove!

MEOWTH: Kind of like finding a lost branch

from the family tree.

REFEREE MECH: Battle, begin!

VOLKNER: Hope you're ready, Ash!

Because here's my first Pokémon! Go!

ELECTIVIRE: [APPEARING]

ASH: It's an Electivire! All right.Torterra, I choose you!

TORTERRA: [APPEARING]

DAWN: There's a team worth cheering for! Go, team, go!

BROCK: A Grass- and Ground-type Pokémon like Torterra has a

definite advantage against Electivire,

who's an Electric type.

FLINT: You're right, but Volkner's not going to be that

easy to b*at!

ASH: All right, Torterra, use Leaf Storm!

TORTERRA: [LEAF STORM MOVE]

VOLKNER: Quick, Electivire, use Fire Punch!

ELECTIVIRE: [FIRE PUNCH MOVE]

DAWN: How's Electivire blocking Leaf Storm with Fire Punch?

BROCK: Whoa! Now that's Gym Leader strategy! Volkner's

skillfully using an att*ck move as a defense move!

FLINT: Yeah, and he's just getting started.

DAWN: Imagine having a strategy in place to battle against a

Pokémon that has a type advantage over his.

ASH: Man, Volkner's good! I'm impressed! All right then,

Torterra, use Leaf Storm one more time!

TORTERRA: [LEAF STORM MOVE]

VOLKNER: Electivire, Fire Punch! ELECTIVIRE: [FIRE PUNCH MOVE]

ASH: Energy Ball, let's go! TORTERRA: [ENERGY BALL MOVE]

ELECTIVIRE: [IMPACT]

VOLKNER: Well, well!

ASH: Torterra! Use Rock Climb!

TORTERRA: [ROCK CLIMB MOVE]

ELECTIVIRE: [NERVOUS]

TORTERRA: [DETERMINED]

BROCK: They're going for it in one move!

ELECTIVIRE: [NERVOUS]

VOLKNER: All right, Electivire, use Ice Punch!

ELECTIVIRE: [ICE PUNCH MOVE]

TORTERRA: [IMPACT]

ASH: What?

TORTERRA: [STUNNED]

REFEREE MECH: Torterra is unable to battle! Electivire's

the winner!

BROCK: Wow, I'll bet Volkner had Electivire learn Ice Punch as a

counter-strategy against Ground-type Pokémon, you know?

FLINT: Well, he's the Gym Leader, after all.

Winning against Volkner is no walk in the park, for sure.

And just watching this battle has gotten me

completely pumped up!

VOLKNER: Ash, the transition you made from Leaf Storm to Energy

Ball was really well done.

VOLKNER: It's like I can feel your spark! Wow, I'm thoroughly

enjoying our battle.

ASH: Torterra, return! You deserve a really good rest.

Pikachu, you ready to go?

PIKACHU: [CONFIDENT]

JESSIE: I hate doors with an attitude!

JAMES: If it's glued, I want to buy stock in that glue!

MEOWTH: Maybe it'll open in this century!

JAMES: Said security system annoys me to no end!

JESSIE: The nerve! And after we

got in last time without a hitch!

MEOWTH: Of course, we're probably why they changed it.

JESSIE: There's a big duh.

ASH: Now, Pikachu, use Quick att*ck!

PIKACHU: [QUICK att*ck MOVE]

VOLKNER: Dodge it! ELECTIVIRE: [EXERTION]

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED] DAWN: Electivire's fast!

Fire punch. Let's go. ELECTIVIRE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Dodge it and use Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

ELECTIVIRE: [DETERMINED]

ASH: Whoa, it didn't do a thing! PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

VOLKNER: Now, use Ice Punch!

ELECTIVIRE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Pikachu, Thunderbolt one more time!

ELECTIVIRE: [ICE PUNCH MOVE]

ELECTIVIRE: [DETERMINED]

DAWN: That's incredible! Flint, do you know what's going on?

FLINT: Of course! That's Electivire's Ability.

BROCK: Ability? Wow, that's Motor Drive, isn't it?

It neutralizes its opponent's Electric-type moves!

That's why it's not taking damage!

PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

ASH: Okay! It'll be all right.Electric-type moves may

have no effect, but if we can get close enough

and use Iron Tail.

ASH: All right, Pikachu, use Iron Tail!

PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

ELECTIVIRE: [EXERTION] PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

Man, that's fast.

VOLKNER: Not only does Motor Drive neutralize any

Electric-type moves, it also increases Electivire's speed as

well! Electivire, use Fire Punch, go!

ELECTIVIRE: [EXERTION]

PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

ELECTIVIRE: [FIRE PUNCH MOVE]

PIKACHU: [PAINED]

DAWN: Oh no, Pikachu!

PIPLUP: [WORRIED] BUNEARY: [WORRIED]

BROCK: Those Fire and Ice Punches are a double thr*at!

FLINT: Yeah, and as long as Volkner uses those moves,

Ash can't get close.

BROCK: Not only that, Thunderbolt has no effect!

VOLKNER: Electivire, Ice Punch!

ELECTIVIRE: [ICE PUNCH MOVE]

PIKACHU: [DETERMINED]

ELECTIVIRE: [SURPRISED]

VOLKNER: Electivire, use Ice Punch once more!

ELECTIVIRE: [EXERTION]

BROCK: Hey, that's Static, Pikachu's Ability!

PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

ELECTIVIRE: [PAINED]

ASH: Great, Pikachu! All right, use Iron Tail!

PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

VOLKNER: Ice Punch, let's go! ELECTIVIRE: [ICE PUNCH MOVE]

PIKACHU / ELECTIVIRE: [BATTLING]

DAWN: Go, Pikachu, go, Pikachu, go, Pikachu, go!

BROCK: Static can sometimes paralyze your attacking opponent

when it makes contact! This is Ash's big chance!

FLINT: What do you know! Luck is part of the battle, too.

VOLKNER: Come on, Electivire, get up and use Ice Punch!

ELECTIVIRE: [ICE PUNCH MOVE]

ASH: Good! Electivire's speed is way down!

All right, Pikachu, use Iron Tail!

PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

ELECTIVIRE: [STUNNED]

REFEREE MECH: Electivire is unable to battle!

The winner is Pikachu!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

ASH: Yeah, Pikachu, you did it!

VOLKNER: Nice work, Electivire, return! This sure is fun! This

is how battling ought to be!

DAWN: Ash had me a little worried for a bit,

but he and Pikachu were great!

PIPLUP: [AGREEMENT] BUNEARY: [AGREEMENT]

BROCK: Ash did a great job! And now it's all even!

FLINT: For now. But Volkner hasn't shown his true power yet.

FLINT: We haven't seen nothing yet!

JAMES: Let's try the back door. Works at home!

JESSIE: And for now, this is our home!

MEOWTH: No prob! Home sweet home!

MEOWTH: You'd think a guy trying to conserve energy wouldn't be

wasting watts on us.

VOLKNER: Ash, you certainly don't disappoint! Battling you

was well worth the wait! Now, get ready for this!

JOLTEON: [APPEARING]

ASH: A Jolteon! Well, I may have won one, but that Volkner is

something else! There's no way I'm losing this battle, though,

no matter what! Infernape, I choose you!

INFERNAPE: [APPEARING]

ASH: Now, Infernape, Mach Punch! INFERNAPE: [MACH PUNCH MOVE]

JOLTEON: [IMPACT] ASH: Yes!

VOLKNER: Quick, Jolteon, Thunderbolt!

JOLTEON: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

INFERNAPE: [PAINED]

ASH: No, Infernape!

ASH: No, Infernape!

DAWN: Whoa, Jolteon's strong!

FLINT: I told you Volkner's just getting warmed up...

ASH: Infernape, are you okay? INFERNAPE: [DETERMINED]

VOLKNER: All right, Shadow Ball!

JOLTEON: [SHADOW BALL MOVE]

ASH: Quick, Infernape, dodge it!

INFERNAPE: [EXERTION]

VOLKNER: Shadow Ball, rapid fire!

JOLTEON: [SHADOW BALL MOVE]

ASH: Now sh**t it right back with Mach Punch!

INFERNAPE: [MACH PUNCH MOVE]

VOLKNER: Jump and use Shadow Ball!

JOLTEON: [EXERTION]

ASH: Now, Infernape, use Mach Punch once more!

INFERNAPE: [MACH PUNCH MOVE]

JOLTEON: [PAINED]

VOLKNER: Jolteon!

INFERNAPE: [SATISFIED]

JOLTEON: [STUNNED]

REFEREE MECH: Jolteon is unable to battle!

The winner is Infernape!

ASH: Great! Infernape, way to go!

FLINT: Oh, wow! Ash is really good!

DAWN: All right! Now the score is Ash: two to one!

JESSIE: If I'm going to get my hair done, I don't want a perm!

JAMES: Is it me, or am I noticing subtle décor changes?

MEOWTH: Anyone doing major renovation's going to want to

spruce things up a bit at the same time, so why don't we go

hit the deck and rev this baby up?

JAMES: That's the last thing he'd expect us to do!

VOLKNER: So who would've ever thought I'd be on my third

Pokémon by now? Luxray, let's go!

LUXRAY: [APPEARING]

ASH: This time it's Luxray! So, thanks, Infernape! Now, return!

INFERNAPE: [PLEASED]

ASH: Ready again, Pikachu?

PIKACHU: [CONFIDENT]

VOLKNER: I see! Using Pikachu again!

FLINT: Maybe that battle with Electivire gave

Ash a confidence boost!

ASH: All right, Pikachu, use Quick att*ck!

PIKACHU: [QUICK att*ck MOVE]

VOLKNER: Quick, Luxray, use Shock Wave!

LUXRAY: [SHOCK WAVE MOVE]

PIKACHU: [STRUGGLING]

DAWN: Wow, what's going on with that Shock Wave?

BROCK: Shock Wave's not supposed

to be very effective against Pikachu!

FLINT: Not here! It's in a league of its own.

ASH: Pikachu, Iron Tail, let's go!

PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

LUXRAY: [IMPACT]

ASH: Awesome, Pikachu! Keep using Iron Tail over and over!

PIKACHU / LUXRAY: [BATTLING]

DAWN: Pikachu's overpowering Luxray!

FLINT: I doubt things will keep going that smoothly.

PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

VOLKNER: Luxray! Thunder Fang, let's go!

LUXRAY: [THUNDER FANG MOVE]

PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

LUXRAY: [THREATENING]

PIKACHU: [WORRIED]

PIKACHU: [PAINED]

PIKACHU: [STRUGGLING]

VOLKNER: All right, Luxray, quick! Use Shock Wave!

LUXRAY: [SHOCK WAVE MOVE]

ASH: Dodge it, Pikachu!

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

ASH: Pikachu!

PIKACHU: [STUNNED]

REFEREE MECH: Pikachu is unable to battle! The winner is Luxray!

ASH: Pikachu, you okay?

PIKACHU: [SAD]

ASH: Thank you, Pikachu. You were awesome!

DAWN: Now they both have one Pokémon left!

DAWN: You can do it! You can do it! Go, Ash!

JESSIE: Well, no one's flying anything from here!

JAMES: Looks more like the generator room!

MEOWTH: Man! If you stay away long enough, it gets really hard

to recognize the neighborhood!

JESSIE: All right, let's move out!

JAMES: Seems someone has a fondness for gluing doors!

JESSIE: Whaaat?!

VOLKNER: Well, this is it! Whether I win or lose, Ash, it's

sad to think this will be our last battle...

ASH: I hear you! And I'm giving it my all!

VOLKNER: And I would expect nothing less!

FLINT: Ash has battled really well, especially against an

- expert like Volkner! - BROCK: For sure!

ASH: Infernape, I choose you!

INFERNAPE: [APPEARING]

FLINT: Volkner may be more powerful than Ash, but right now

Ash's determination is astounding beyond belief! At the

rate he's going, Ash just might surprise us all!

ASH: All right, Infernape! Use Flamethrower, let's go!

INFERNAPE: [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

VOLKNER: Luxray, use Shock Wave!

LUXRAY: [SHOCK WAVE MOVE]

ASH: Use Mach Punch, now!

INFERNAPE: [MACH PUNCH MOVE]

VOLKNER: Use Double Team!

LUXRAY: [DOUBLE TEAM MOVE]

VOLKNER: Now, Luxray, use Thunder Fang!

LUXRAY: [THUNDER FANG MOVE]

INFERNAPE: [PAINED]

BROCK: So Infernape's Flamethrower's countered by

Luxray's Shock Wave, then Infernape's Mach Punch is made

ineffective by Luxray's Double Team!

FLINT: And on top of that, Luxray was able to att*ck

Infernape with Thunder Fang at close range!

FLINT: That's Volkner when he means business!

VOLKNER: Luxray! Use Shock Wave!

LUXRAY: [SHOCK WAVE MOVE]

INFERNAPE: [EXERTION]

VOLKNER: Don't let it escape, so use Thunder Fang!

LUXRAY: [THUNDER FANG MOVE]

ASH: Infernape, Mach Punch!

INFERNAPE: [MACH PUNCH MOVE]

INFERNAPE: [PAINED]

VOLKNER: Luxray, use Thunder Fang, again!

LUXRAY: [THUNDER FANG MOVE]

ASH: Any more of that, and Infernape won't last!

Now, Infernape! Use Dig, and make it quick!

INFERNAPE: [DIG MOVE]

VOLKNER: All right, Luxray, use Iron Tail!

LUXRAY: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

INFERNAPE: [PAINED]

ASH: Infernape, no!

VOLKNER: It's amazing how time flies when you're having fun.

Though I regret doing this. Now Luxray, use Thunder Fang,

and let's wrap this up!

LUXRAY: [THUNDER FANG MOVE]

ASH: Come on, you've got to get up, Infernape, you've got to,

please! You can do it!

JESSIE: The more buttons pressed, the better

the odds for success!

JAMES: Then I'm successful!

MEOWTH: When it comes to playing percentages,

I'm numero uno!

JESSIE: I'm no gambler, so why did you two listen to me?

JAMES: With that mouth, how could we not?

MEOWTH: This is the kind of

light show I can totally do without!

JESSIE: It's cheaper than a beauty parlor.

JAMES: My appointment's not until next week!

MEOWTH: Well, I just made you both appointments

for the rubber room.

JESSIE: We're blasting off again!

LUXRAY: [THUNDER FANG MOVE]

ASH: Come on! Get up, Infernape, now!

LUXRAY: [CONFUSED]

DAWN: The lights!

VOLKNER: Ash, what do you want to do?

ASH: Keep on going, no matter what!

VOLKNER: All right! Now, Luxray, use Thunder Fang!

LUXRAY: [AFFIRMATIVE] / [SHOCKED]

INFERNAPE: [ENRAGED]

FLINT: That's got to be Blaze.Infernape's Ability that

activates when it's taken major damage and almost all of its

strength is gone!

FLINT : If Infernape gets hit with one more move,

it's over.but on the other hand,

all of its Fire-type moves will be supercharged!

FLINT: This is going to be a do-or-die battle for the

both of them!

BROCK: If Infernape doesn't freak out.

FLINT: Freak out?

DAWN: You see, it happens whenever Blaze gets activated.

CHIMCHAR [FLASHBACK] : [ENRAGED]

ASH [FLASHBACK]: Chimchar!

MONFERNO [FLASHBACK]: [ENRAGED]

ASH [FLASHBACK]: Stop it, Monferno!

MONFERNO [FLASHBACK]: [ENRAGED]

DAWN: It completely stops listening to Ash.

FLINT: That sounds awful!

BROCK: It was! And it could happen again!

DAWN: But, if it does, what do we do?

INFERNAPE: [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

LUXRAY: [PAINED]

DAWN: [SCARED]

ASH: Come on, Infernape, snap out of it!

INFERNAPE: [GROWL]

DAWN: No, Infernape, please don't!

INFERNAPE: [GROWL]

PIKACHU: [THREATENING]

ASH: Stop! Pikachu, wait!

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

ASH: We're cool.

INFERNAPE: [GROWL]

ASH: Right?

INFERNAPE: [GROWL]

ASH: Yeah, you know I believe in you!

INFERNAPE: [GROWL] / [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Way to go, Infernape!

DAWN: Infernape's fine!

BROCK: It heard everything Ash said!

INFERNAPE: [DETERMINED]

VOLKNER: Get ready!

ASH: Okay, Infernape, let's get it going with Flamethrower!

INFERNAPE: [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

LUXRAY: [STRUGGLING]

VOLKNER: Incredible! But I'm not losing this! All right,

Luxray, use Thunder Fang!

LUXRAY: [THUNDER FANG MOVE]

ASH: Infernape, use Mach Punch, let's go!

INFERNAPE: [MACH PUNCH MOVE]

LUXRAY: [PAINED]

BROCK: Infernape did it! It's listening to everything Ash is

telling it to do!

DAWN: Go, Ash! Infernape, too! Fight, fight, win!

VOLKNER: Now, Luxray, Iron Tail, let's go!

LUXRAY: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

ASH: All right, Mach Punch! INFERNAPE: [MACH PUNCH MOVE]

LUXRAY: [PAINED]

ASH: All right, let's wrap this up! Infernape, use Flame Wheel!

INFERNAPE: [FLAME WHEEL MOVE]

LUXRAY: [STRUGGLING]

LUXRAY: [STUNNED]

REFEREE MECH: Luxray is unable to battle! The winner is

Infernape! And the victor is Ash from Pallet Town!

ASH: You're the best, Infernape! Amazing!

VOLKNER: Here is your Beacon Badge. Congratulations, Ash!

ASH: Thank you very much!

FLINT: You guys put on one amazing battle!

ASH: I got the Beacon Badge, and it's badge number eight!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

VOLKNER: Thank you for a wonderful battle!

ASH: Thank you!

VOLKNER: You helped me remember how much fun battling can be!

It means a lot!

FLINT: And you can be sure we'll be rooting for you all the way!

ASH: Thanks! I'll do my best!

BROCK: Just think! Now you've got all eight badges!

ASH: You're right!

FLINT: The Sinnoh League is taking place in a month on Lily

of the Valley Island. And you can catch a ferry at the

Sunyshore City seaport that will take you there, no problem!

ASH: Thanks! So look out, Sinnoh League, because here I come!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

NARRATOR: A fierce battle against Volkner has given Ash

his long-anticipated eighth Gym badge and entry into the Sinnoh

League! Now, it's off to the nearby Lily of the Valley

Island, site of the Sinnoh League!
