(Ash) "Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!"

(Freddy) 'Ladies and Gentlemen, the Club Battle's temperature'

'is going up minute by excitement-charged minute'

'with the beautiful and extremely rare seven-feather'

'Top-Class Driftveil Wing Set hanging in the balance!'

'So hang on to your seats, because our next match will be'

'Trip versus Striaton City Gym Leader, Cilan!'

So, Don George, how do you see this next battle shaping up?

Freddy, the fact is Cilan is one of the three

Gym Leaders of the Striaton Gym.

And that means, he's going to be one tough opponent, no doubt!

I remember your battle at the Striaton Gym!

Perhaps some of that flavor will emerge here!

My Pokemon and I have come a long way since then.

I'm sure our battle today will be much more exciting

than when I beat your brother, Gym Leader Chili!

Can't wait to see what kind of battle

Cilan and Trip are gonna have!

Trip really seems confident

but I can't imagine Cilan actually losing!

I can and he will!

I want Cilan to get the smack down

of his Connoisseur life

and I hope that Trip delivers it!

Who cares if he's an A-class Connoisseur?

I want revenge!

Alright, begin!

Alright, Dwebble, let's go!

Gur!

Gurdurr, you're up!

Gurdurr!

Whoa! A Gurdurr!

(Pokedex) 'Gurdurr. The Muscular Pokemon.'

'And the evolved form of Timburr.'

'Gurdurr trains its muscles by carrying a steel beam.'

'With its amazing strength'

'even professional wrestlers can't move it.'

Wow. It evolved!

'That was the Timburr we battled!'

We'll make the first move!

Dwebble, X-Scissor!

Gurdurr, dodge it!

Heh heh heh.

Dweb-Dwebble.

- Now, Dwebble. Use Slash! - Dweb!

Gurdurr, keep your distance!

Gurdurr's using its steel beam with great skill!

Dwebble can't even get close!

It's nice to see a great defense like that being utilized.

- Gurdurr, Rock Smash! - Gurdurr.

Gurdurr!

Quick, Dwebble, get away!

The rock on its back's been cracked!

All Gurdurr has to do is keep it up

and I'll be one happy Connaisseuse!

Come on, Cilan!

- Dwebble, you can do it! - Pika-Pika!

Use Rock Smash once more!

Now, Dwebble. Retreat!

Use Stone Edge!

- Dwebble, no! - Ah!

Oui!

And Gurdurr lands a ground-shaking

and powerful Stone Edge!

Hm!

It was a super effective move.

Man, am I getting the best footage!

This is gonna turn out great!

My best movie ever!

Dwebble!

Hey, Luke! Have you seen Zorua?

Bianca!

I'm trying to make a movie, you know.

What? You can't just make a movie now!

- Your Zorua's missing! - Huh?

Uh, guess you're right.

Uh!

So, you're still not throwing in the towel.



I'm impressed!

You've definitely grown stronger, Trip.

A much more palatable style!

However, it's my turn!

I call it

"Evalutating time!"

Looks like we're in store for another Connoisseur moment.

If it's Cilan's evaluating time, I want him to flunk!

Trip, Gurdurr has good technique and power

weaving them into harmonious attacks!

'I also admire Gurdurr's well-defined muscles'

'demonstrating a refreshing, yet bold style.'

However, Dwebble and I are going to emerge victorious!

With offense!

And defense!

A recipe for success!

A delicious pairing that surpasses even yours!

Dwebble!

Yeah, you tell them, Cilan! Go!

- Pika! - Whatever!

Gurdurr, Dynamic Punch!

Oh, dear!

Where could Zorua be? There's nowhere else to look!

Huh? Ah, Georgia!

You haven't seen Zorua, have you?

I see.

Huh! Huh?

Georgia!

You haven't seen Zorua, have you?

Uh!

Hee hee hee.

Hey, let go!

Hee hee hee.

Zorua! Wait up!

Let's watch the tournament together!

You don't have to be shy around me!

I've got some really yummy Pokemon food for you!

Hm?

They sure can stir things up.

Get close to Dwebble and attack!

Dwebble, Shell Smash!

Alright! Now, use Rock Slide!

What happened?

Dwebble's Rock Slide makes contact

with brilliance and flair!

Shell Smash decreases Dwebble's defense

but it also increases its offense

making Dwebble's Rock Slide an even more powerful attack!

Wait! Is that allowed?

Of course it is!

It's so cool that Dwebble can use Rock Slide!

- Axew! - Great offense!

- It's Comeback Time! - Pika!

Gurdurr, get out of there!

Uh!

Now, Dwebble, I think it's Slash Time!

Dwebble!

Gurdurr, no!

Get up, Gurdurr! I know you can still battle!

Gurdurr is unable to battle!

Dwebble wins!

So, the winner is...Cilan!

(Freddy) 'Cilan has won the first round!'

Which means, he moves on to round two!

It was truly a spectacular battle!

Excellent power and skill!

Dwebble, thanks!

It was your great talent that made our battle such a treat!

- Dwebb! - Hm?

I'm chronicling my journey!

So I never forget this defeat.

Hm! Hm?

Hee hee hee.

- Dwebble! - Any questions? Fire away!

- Come on! - Hm?

That's my camera! Give it back!

Huh?

Hee hee hee.

Then I guess there's no interview, then!

That Cilan!

He'd better lose his second match or else!

Lose-lose-lose-lose lose-lose-lose-lose-lose!

Finally!

I've been looking for Zorua!

Uh, Bianca, you're up next, you know.

Uh, really? No kidding?

You bet! And you're gonna be up against me, so look out!

You're next, Ash!

Right after I win this battle!

Huh!

Folks, the battle between Minccino and Zebstrika

continues to heat up!

Minccino! Keep it up!

Go, go, Minccino!

- Axew! - Pika-Pika!

Minccino's looking pretty good!

Minccino, Double Slap!

Alright, use Hyper Voice!

Hang in there, Zebstrika!

Show them both you can take it!



Zebstrika!

Alright, now it's our turn!

Use Shock Wave!

Minccino, stay strong!

Wrap it up with Stomp!

Minccino is unable to battle!

So Zebstrika's the winner!

And Stephan wins the match!

Yay!

Got my name wrong again.

Who cares?

- Minccino, you okay? - Minccino!

It's not fair!

Uh!

Golett, use Shadow Punch!

Emolga, Hidden Power!

(Freddy) 'And Iris is the winner!'

'Now, up on the big screen are the eight trainers'

'who will be moving on to the second round!'

Remember!

Tomorrow we have round two, and then the semi-finals!

'I suggest all our Trainers get back to the Pokemon Center'

and get lots of rest!

That's all. You're dismissed!

Hey, Trip. Where are you going?

Gurdurr's been healed

so there's no reason to stick around.

Besides, I've got things to do!

But the competition's not over yet.

The second round's tomorrow!

- Yeah? Well, so what! - Huh?

Look, it's not like my Pokemon are gonna become stronger

just from watching other people have battles!

Basic stuff!

Trip!

Ash?

To each his own!

People just have to be the way they are.

- The same with Trip! - You're right, Cilan.

But I still don't get him.

Hey, Trip!

Next time I see you, let's have a battle!

What do you say?

(group) Who's that Pokemon?

(group) It's Gurdurr!

(Gurdurr) Gurdurr!

- This is delicious! - Thank you!

Its powerful flavor

comes from the freshest ingredients available!

An excellent dish to serve Club Battle competitors!

- You've got that right, Cilan! - Hey, Stephan.

Ash, the name is Stephan!

But, whatever. Let's eat!

It's time to load up for tomorrow's big battle!

Of course, you could be battling me tomorrow, you know.

Ah!

Can't beat me!

Only a little kid could have

a Club Battle over eating dinner.

Huh?

Hee hee hee.

Oh, Zorua, why, it's you!

- There you are! - Huh?

I know! Let's eat together, Zorua.

What do you like?

Some pizza?

Maybe a salad?

Or skip it, and go right to dessert?

Hee hee hee.

Ax-Ax-Ax!

Ax-Ax-Ax!

- Axew! - Axew!

Come on, Zorua!

- Come here to Bianca! - Ax!

Excuse me, but that's my Axew you're squeezing!

No. Sorry, but this is Zorua!

Sorry, but that's Axew!

No, it's Zorua!

- Axew! - Zorua!

Ah!

There's nothing like real behind-the-scenes footage

to make a documentary come to life!

It's "The Truth Behind The Pokemon Trainer!"

Hee hee hee.

Zorua! I was wondering where you were!

Stop wandering off, okay?

Hee hee hee.

Hey, wait up, Zorua!

Where are you going?

I'm gonna win!

No, me!

Pika-Pika!

Where does Bianca get that energy?

- Such hungry little kids. - Axew!

Heh heh heh.

Okay, that's it!

I'm stuffed and ready for tomorrow's battle!

Pikachu!

Huh!

Wow! You're fixing your home!



'Awesome!'

Dweb-Dwebble!

That's good, because I might need you in the second round.

If the time comes, you'll be ready!

(Burgundy) 'There's no need for you to be ready for anything!'

Tomorrow's battle will prove it, you'll see!

Any pairing you come with

will be a complete mistake, bien sur!

Uh, why?

You'll have the worst-tasting battle ever

and be defeated miserable!

And don't forget

it's just as I predicted in my re-evaluation!

Au revoir!

Doesn't she ever give it a rest?

Pika.

She proves there's such a thing as too much spice.

- Yahoo! - Pika!

I'm here, I'm psyched, and I'm gonna win!

Pika-Pikachu!

You sound really pumped up, Ash!

You bet!

Watching you yesterday, I realized

you've actually gotten a teensy bit stronger!

What's the matter? You scared?

No way! It's actually good for me.

Great Dragon Busters need a good challenge

to make beating the pants off someone like you worthwhile!

Still stuck thinking you can beat me, huh?

Dream on, girl!

Excuse me, but my dreams are real, girl!

Sorry.

Big dream!

Coming from such a little kid.

Oh, yeah. I'm a kid alright.

So are you!

Uh!

Now, wouldn't it be better if you both just calm down?

Hee hee hee.

Aw, oh, no!

If I have to battle against that

brilliant Dragon Master Iris

I just know I'm going to lose and lose in such a big way!

Poor, poor me!

How dare you say such a thing?

Hey, thanks, Zorua!

Hee hee hee.

Uh! Whatever.

Once we have a battle, you'll see!

I'm so much stronger than you are, it's not even funny!

Oh, yeah? Well, that's what you think!

(crowd) Yay!

And now, day two of the Club Battle is here!

Yay!

(Freddy) 'So, look up on the big screen'

'for our second round match ups!'

Alright! I'm battling Georgia!

She used Beartic in the first round

so wonder what she'll use this time?

(Freddy) 'Ladies and gentlemen, the much-anticipated'

'first battle of round two is'

Georgia versus Ash!'

Ready, begin!

Okay, Snivy, I choose you!

Pawniard, battle time!

Pawniard?

(Pokedex) 'Pawniard. The Sharp Blade Pokemon.'

'Pawniard's entire body is made of blades'

'which it uses to inflict damage on its opponent.'

It will be interesting to see Ash and Snivy's

battle strategy for dealing with Pawniard's skill

at close-range fighting!

So now, let's find out who will move on

to the semi-finals, Georgia, or Ash!

I'm gonna move on!

Now, Snivy, Leaf Storm!

Pawniard, Metal Claw!

Pawniard!

(Freddy) 'And Pawniard slashes up Snivy's Leaf Storm'

'with stoic strength for a brilliant defensive display!'

Oh, no!

I've never seen a Metal Claw

with such an exquisitely honed edge!

Georgia's definitely gotten much stronger.

Oh, yeah? They're just getting started!

You can do it, Ash and Snivy!

Leaf Storm, again!

Dodge it and get close!

Pawniard!

Now, use Metal Claw!

Pawniard!

(Freddy) 'Snivy's Leaf Storm is neutralized!'

'The battle's just begun, but Snivy's in trouble!'

Georgia's quickly taken control of the match!

How is Ash going to turn the tide?

It's all about spirit!

You just give it all you've got!

- Snivy, you can do it! - Pika-Pika!

Snivy!

Pawniard, keep attacking and don't let up!



- Pawniard! - Snivy, use Attract!

- Snivy's Attract didn't work! - That means one thing!

Pawniard's a, it's a girl!

Sure took you long enough to figure it out!

Alright, Iron Head!

Pawn-Pawn-Pawniard!

Snivy, dodge it!

Smash the rocks with Vine Whip!

Huh!

Pawniard is struggling! Are Ash and Snivy coming back?

Of course! Time for a counterattack!

Come on, Ash, show them what you're really made of!

Win this, then it's you and me!

Alright! Vine Whip, go!

(Freddy) 'And Snivy keeps landing a powerful Vine Whip'

'turning this match on its ear!'

Wrap it up! Use Leaf Blade!

Hey! Get up and win this!

Counter that!

And a very resourceful Pawniard breaks free!

Well, you've put up quite a fight.

But it's all over!

Use Guillotine, and wrap this thing up!

No way! What a powerful move!

Guillotine can defeat an opponent with just a single hit!

Please, Ash. Careful!

Heads up! Pawniard, let's go!

Now, Vine Whip!

Good! Give it a toss!

- Snivy, no! - Pika!

Now, Guillotine!

Come on, Snivy, get up!

'You've got to!'

(narrator) Does Pawniard have Snivy in checkmate?

Or will Ash be able to come back and defeat Georgia?

You won't want to miss the exciting conclusion

as the Club Battle continues!
