NARRATOR The Clubsplosion Tournament,


presented by the Pok mon Battle Clubs, Don George, rages on.


During the exciting third match of round one


Ash and Scraggy battled fiercely


against Angus and Simisage


but after a hit from Scraggy's newly learned Focus Blast


followed by a powerful Headbutt.


Our hero has advanced to the second round!


'Now, we come to the fourth match of round one!'


'We have Iris, the energetic wild child'


'versus Connaisseuse Burgundy!'


'So who will be the winner and earn a one-year supply'


'of Pokémon vitamin drinks?'


'Time will tell, now, get ready for another thrilling battle!'


My Pokémon Connoisseur curiosity is way up


wondering what Burgundy's chosen from her strategy menu.


Yeah, but Iris is gonna win.


You can do it, Iris.


[EXCITED]


Piece of cake!


Well, aren't we confident?


Moa? My only true rival is Cilan.


You're nothing but a cheap appetizer.


Prepare to swallow


Don't hold your breath! This match is mine, merci beaucoup.


- Hmm. - Hmm.

ASH "SEARCH FOR THE CLUBULTIMATE!"


Maintenant,it's evaluation time. Sil vous plait.


It is my duty as a Pokémon Connaisseuse


to offer a cool and elegant move pour vous.


Attention! Dewott, Ice Beam!


[ICE BEAM MOVE]


They're using Ice Beam! When did they learn that?


Dodge it, Excadrill!


[EXERTION]


Third time's the charm.


[ICE BEAM MOVE]


[DETERMINED]


[EXPECTANT]


[CONFIDENT]


And Excadrill deflects the Ice Beam!


So, Don George, your thoughts about that?


DON GEORGE 'Dewott's attacks are looking


pretty sharp out there'


'but Excadrill's looking very confident as well.'


'I would expect a tough battle.'


CILAN Dewott may be stronger


than I had originally thought.


Excadrill and Iris may be facing a tough match.


Well, those two had better win that tough match.


I'm the only one allowed


to beat that Dragon Master wannabe.


Don't worry, she's gonna win.


[IRRITATED]


[ANNOYED]


You're a Fighting type, Scraggy, right?


So where are your muscles?


Now, here, here, here.


Hey, Bianca, take it easy.


Oh, don't be selfish.


Let's see. Now, what about here?


[HEADBUTT MOVE]


Aah!


[groaning]


Bianca, you okay?


BURGUNDY 'Dewott, Water Pulse.'


[WATER PULSE MOVE]


Excadrill, use Dig!


[DIG MOVE]


Now, aim Water Pulse into the hole.


[WATER PULSE MOVE]


[EXPECTANT]


[DISTRESSED]


[all gasp]


FREDDY 'A powerful Water Pulse


flushes Excadrill out of hiding!'


Alors,here's the perfect blend of Pokémon and Trainer.


Dewott! Razor Shell, vite.


[RAZOR SHELL MOVE]


Use Focus Blast!


[FOCUS BLAST MOVE]


[INTENT]


[FOCUS BLAST MOVE]


[STRUGGLING]


[SATISFIED]


Defense! Excadrill shows off with a powerful Focus Blast.


Even more powerful than I predicted.


Dewott's dangerous for Excadrill who's weak against Water types.


You're right. Whoa, Steffen.



You still say my name wrong. But I'll survive.


I'm good with Dewott and Excadrill's battling skills.


I've got lots of pictures.


This battle is nothing more


than a silly, overblown snooze fest.


It doesn't matter who wins


because Montgomery will beat either of them.


Your strategy's as muddy as molasses.


As rotten as week-old berries.


You couldn't beat me if I paid you.


Hope you like molasses on your rotten Berries.


Excadrill, Drill Run, lets go!


[DRILL RUN MOVE]


[EXERTION]


In your face!


This kind of battling is what


my Clubsplosions all about!


[STRUGGLING] [ALARMED]


IRIS Excadrill, keep the pressure on.


Use Metal Claw!


[SATISFIED] [METAL CLAW MOVE]


[CONFIDENT] Dewott, stand and show


those losers what endurance is all about.


[METAL CLAW MOVE]


Awesome, way to go.


[EXCITED]


Iris has gotten a lot stronger too.


Strong enough to battle me. Don't you agree, Cilan?


Uh, well, I guess I do, sure.


But, why isn't Dewott battling back?


[METAL CLAW MOVE] [PAINED]


Another direct hit, a ferocious Metal Claw.


FREDDY 'And Dewott goes down.'


I know Metal Claw's not that effective on Dewott.


But may be we can keep on scoring damage!


Huh? [DETERMINED]


It seems to me you should switch all of your Pokémon, oui?


What did you say?


BURGUNDY 'Quel dommage,


Excadrill and victory are simply incompatible.'


Dewott, revenge, now.


[REVENGE MOVE]


[PAINED]


- Excadrill! - Hm.


[gasps]


Of course. Burgundy was planning to do that.


[STRUGGLING]


Please, hang in there, Excadrill.


BURGUNDY You really should give up, oui?


You're far too green to battle me.


We perfected Revenge specifically to have revenge


on that horrible Cilan.


They perfected Revenge for revenge? I don't get it.


Revenge is twice as strong if the user has sustained


a direct hit from the opponent first.


I'm afraid Excadrill is in big trouble.


Will Excadrill be able to strike back


or will Burgundy and Dewott attack again


and wrap this up now?


Dewott, finish with Razor Shell!


[DETERMINED]


[RAZOR SHELL MOVE]


Excadrill, Drill Run!


[DRILL RUN MOVE]


[INTENT]/[PAINED]


Huh?


- Excadrill! - Como?


How can you deflect Razor Shell


after taking a direct hit from Revenge?


Because, Excadrill's, no pushover.


Excadrill! Focus Blast, go!


[FOCUS BLAST MOVE]


BURGUNDY 'Dewott, Ice Beam.'


[ICE BEAM MOVE]


[WORRIED]


[PAINED]


Oh, no, impossible, I will not be beaten by a kid!


Excadrill, use Dig.


[DIG MOVE]


[DISORIENTED]


Cher,Dewott, stay strong.


[ALARMED]


[PAINED]


That's it, now use Drill Run.


[SATISFIED]


[STUNNED]


Dewott is unable to battle. Excadrill wins.


Which means, Iris, wins the match.


Alright!


[TRIUMPHANT]


Way to go, Iris.


[EXCITED]


Of course she won, I guarantee I'm the one who will beat her.


Burgundy is stronger than she was


'but a victory for her requires a secret ingredient'


she doesn't seem to have yet.'


FREDDY 'Here's where we stand,


after some fierce battling


Iris wins the fourth match of round one


joining our other three first round winners.'



The fifth battle will be in the afternoon.


'All Trainers and Pokémon, please head back'


to the Pokémon Center for a little lunch.


Take a break. You all deserve it.


I'm okay. At least I didn't lose to you know who?


Cilan, next time we battle, watch out.


I'll win before you know what hit you.


And stop with those boring remarks.


Relax, Burgundy, I look forward to watching you get stronger.


And as for you, Iris, next time you're going down.


Not so fast.


The only Trainer who's going to beat Iris is me.


Excuse me, but you have to get through the first round first.


Huh? Trip!


Done eating? Aren't you battling Bianca?


I suggest you worry about your own battles and not mine.


Huh?


Take your Scraggy.


Scraggy seems to have learned Focus Blast, but it's obvious


you can't depend on it. It needs to be more accurate.


To be blunt, its low class.


What?


Hey, Trip, hold on. Ah.


Scraggy, I want to see your Focus Blast again.


[DETERMINED]


GROUP Who's that Pokémon?


It's Mienshao!


All set, Scraggy?


Use Focus Blast on that rock.


[AFFIRMATIVE]


[DETERMINED]


[FOCUS BLAST MOVE]


[DISCOURAGED]


Oh, good, that was just a little off.


Try it again.


[FOCUS BLAST MOVE]


[screaming]


[FOCUS BLAST MOVE]


[SHOCKED]


It's just like what Trip said.


[FRUSTRATED]


[DEJECTED]


Okay. We've got work to do before you can use it in battle.


[AGREEMENT]


You want to work?


Let us be your training partners.


[EAGER]


Steffen and Sawk.


We've got to get ready for our second round battle too.


Thanks, Steffen.


[THANKFUL]


Did your Pokémon say it wrong? I think so.


Ready to go, Sawk?


[AFFIRMATIVE]


Attack whenever you're ready.


[CONFIDENT]


[SURPRISED]


Wow. Look at those muscles. You're such a Fighting type.


Just relax. I'll give you a nice massage.


- Um, Bianca? - You need a massage too!


Bianca! Please, cut it out! That tickles! Stop!


Wow, your muscles have muscles, wow.


Congratulations! The winner of the most muscular


Pokémon pageant is, Steffen!


The winner with the weird name.


And besides, I'm not a Pokémon.


Bianca can get a little carried away.


[AMUSED]


IRIS 'Hey, Ash!'


What are you doing here?


CILAN The afternoon's matches


are starting, come on.


Yay!


Thanks for helping with the special training.


Sure.


[WARM]


[EAGER]


Amateurs.


[EXERTION]


[chuckles]


FREDDY 'Simipour unleashes


a powerful Low Sweep!'


REFEREE 'Simisear is unable to battle!


Simipour wins!' 'So the victory goes to Betty!'


FREDDY 'Now, for our sixth match


of round one we have two lovely Trainers.'


'First, we have Gail'


'who's known as the Beautiful Crusher'


'Facing off against the feisty and stylish'


'Dragon Buster, Georgia.'


Druddington's a Dragon type.


Now we can show what we're made off.


[CONFIDENT]


Iris, you just wait!


I cant wait to humiliate you in our battle.


Maybe she ought to concentrate on winning the battle


she's having right now. She's such a little kid.


[SHEEPISH]


Now, Trainers, begin!


[ATTACK]



FREDDY 'Druddigon's attacks


are beautifully ex*cuted.'


[DETERMINED]


FREDDY 'But Bisharp's doing


an incredible job of dodging them.'


Bisharp! Metal Sound!


[METAL SOUND MOVE]


[DISTRESSED]


Druddigon. You've got to hang on.


Now, Iron Head!


[INTENT]


[IRON HEAD MOVE] [PAINED]


[SATISFIED]


REFEREE 'Druddigon is unable to battle!


Bisharp wins!'


'Which means, the victory goes to Georgia.'


Awesome. Bisharp's stronger since it evolved from Pawniard.


A double shot combining offense and defense.


Truly a well tempered and satisfying battle style.


So, Georgia is moving on to round two.


Well, I'm not losing to her.


FREDDY 'Now, on the b*ttlefield here'


'at Clubsplosion Tournament Stadium, we've got'


'the ominous magician and handler of Throh, Montgomery!'


'Facing off against the storm summoning master warrior'


'Delbert!'


That's a Mienshao!


Mienshao, the Martial Arts Pokémon.


And the evolved form of Mienfoo.


Mienshaos arm attacks are so fast


they're almost invisible.


It uses its long arm fur like a whip.


We'll see how strong Montgomery is. This is gonna be fun.


Now, Trainers, begin!


Mienshao, start off with Pound.


[INTENT]


Dodge it.


[POUND MOVE]


FREDDY 'What incredible reflexes!'


'Throh anticipates every strike perfectly!'


Mienshao! Use High Jump Kick!


[HIGH JUMP KICK MOVE]


Alright. Superpower.


[SUPERPOWER MOVE]


'What an overpowering Superpower!'


[gasps]


Seismic Toss.


[EXERTION]


[SEISMIC TOSS MOVE]


[PAINED]


We're done. Circle Throw.


[INTENT] [DISORIENTED]


[STUNNED]


REFEREE 'Mienshao is unable to battle!'


'Throh wins! So, the victory goes to Montgomery!'


FREDDY 'Power beyond description.


A truly stunning win.'


And with that, Montgomery eases into the second round.


DON GEORGE 'I realize this is only


my personal opinion' 'but at this point, Montgomery appears'


'to be our leading contender.'


A pleasure.


You know? Now I want to battle that guy more than ever!


FREDDY 'We've come to the final match'


'of the Clubsplosion Tournaments first round.'


'From Nuvema Town, we have a young man with great powers'


'of observation, Trip!'


'Facing off against the beret wearing Bianca and her Emboar.'


'Huh? Where's Bianca?'


[gasps]


I'm sorry!


I was checking out Mienshaos muscles


which is why I'm late!


Oh, no. I can't watch this.


[CONCERNED]


How is she gonna be able to battle in the state she's in?


[CONCERNED]


Trips Conkeldurr has some incredible muscles too.


I'm such a fan.


Alright.


I'm ready to battle and I'm serious about winning.


It might not be as easy as you think.


Trainers, begin!


I want to go first! Alright, Emboar, Arm Thrust!


[ARM THRUST MOVE]


Block it, Conkeldurr.


[EXERTION]


It blocked Emboar.


Those concrete pillars make a great shield.


Next, Hammer Arm!


Intercept.


[INTENT]


[HAMMER ARM MOVE]


[EXERTION] Flamethrower, go!


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


[CONFIDENT]


Conkeldurr extinguished that Flamethrower.


Conkeldurr can't be touched with those concrete pillars.


'We'll just have to see how Emboar deals with it all.'


Emboar, don't give up.



[DETERMINED]


Now, Bulk Up.


[BULK UP MOVE]


'Bulk Up will increase Conkeldurr's offense


'and defense powers dramatically!'


'Get ready for a serious counterattack.'


Now, Strength.


[EXERTION]


Can Conkeldurr use those pillars to attack?


That's a new one pour moi.


BIANCA No! Emboar, jump.


[EXERTION]


[STRENGTH MOVE] [PAINED]


[gasps]


FREDDY 'Emboar is down!'


[SATISFIED]


Emboar. Get up. I know you can do it!


[STRUGGLING]


Now. Let's finish this with Rock Tomb.


[ROCK TOMB MOVE]


[PAINED]


[CONFUSED]


Use Arm Thrust. And get out of there!


[ARM THRUST MOVE]


[FATIGUED]


Emboar, no!


Looks like Emboar's out of steam.


Wrap this up with Stone Edge.


[STONE EDGE MOVE]


No! Stop it! Stop it!


Stop it!


NARRATOR Round one


of Clubsplosion Tournament


will soon come to a frenetic conclusion.


But how will the battle end between Bianca and Trip?


And what sorts of battles await


Ash and the others in round two?
