[Ash] "Climbing the Walls!"

'Kay, you guys!

Let's step on it!

Pika!

Ash, where are you going?

The gym isn't that way!

It isn't?

It looks like it's way up there on that mountain!

Wow.

Pika!

Wow.

So this is the Cyllage gym!

I think.

This's a gym?

Pika!

Look at the pretty colors!

Whoa!

Grant, it's Ash!

I'm here to challenge you to a gym battle!

Are you ready?

Sure, no problem!

I've been waiting for you!

Climb on up!

Uh, climb what?

Pika!

This wall, of course!

The b*ttlefield's up at the top!

Pika?

Pika!

[Serna] No way...

[Bonnie]Yes way!

You see, my Cyllage gym

specializes in Rock-type Pokémon.

I feel all challengers should experience

my great love of rocks,

so I designed the gym

to accomplish that by allowing you to climb up

on your own power.

You don't mean all of us, do you?

No, not to worry!

We've got an elevator over there as well!

The choice is yours!

Now, just because you don't scale the wall

doesn't mean I won't accept your challenge!

[Serena] What are you gonna do, Ash?

Climb it, of course!

Ready to go, Pikachu?

Pika!

[straining]

[all groan]

Ash, I like your spirit!

I'll wait for you at the top!

Huh?

Pika, Pika!

Let's go.

Wait!

Bonnie!

We're going to take the elevator.

Hmph.

[straining]

[all gasping]

[sighs]

[groans]

Pika, Pikachu!

Pi, Pi...

[panting]

Hey there, Grant.

I made it!

Well done, Ash!

[elevator bell chimes]

So what were you thinking about

when you were climbing?

Uh, well...

I wasn't thinking about anything!

That's perfect.

So, what were you looking at?

Huh?

Mmm.

Straight up, where I was going!

Excellent.

That means you achieved a state of enlightenment.

Your mind was crystal clear, unclouded.

Now that you've successfully conquered the wall,

the next wall you will need to conquer is me.

And that's what you came here for,

challenger.

Right!

Pika, Pikachu!

A question: Why do you have challengers climb the wall?

So that inner peace can be achieved.

Inner peace?

What's that mean?

Scaling the wall.

It's the best way I know to achieve

a state of enlightenment.

When I do that,

I forget about everything else,

and the only thing I concentrate on

is reaching the top.

That is my one and only goal.

The only thing I want is to arrive at my destination.

As long as there is a wall for me to climb,

I will rise to the challenge!

I want challengers to achieve the same state of enlightenment

when they climb up here to me.

Pika!

♪♪

[man] Now!

The battle between Grant, the Cyllage City gym leader,

and Ash, the challenger from Pallet Town,

is about to begin!

The gym leader will have the use of only two Pokémon,

while the challenger will have

the use of all the Pokémon he currently has with him.

I can use all of them?

That's how the Cyllage gym operates.

I want to see everything

that trainers and their Pokémon can do.

Oh, got it!

Right now, I've got three Pokémon.

We'll work together to do our best

and then I'll win that gym badge!

Only the challenger will be allowed

to substitute Pokémon during the battle.

So, if you please, bring out your Pokémon!

I've been looking forward to your challenge

since I first saw you battle back at the Battle Chateau.

Now let's see which Pokémon

you plan to use to scale the wall...

...and that wall is me!

Onix, let's go!

[roaring]

So he's gonna use Onix first.

In that case, I'll do this!

Froakie, I choose you!

Froakie!

Hey, there's Froakie!

Water-types have an advantage over Rock-types.

Ash has a sound strategy!

Serena, is something wrong?

You look so worried.

Huh?

Bonnie's right.

You do look worried.

Are you nervous?

Me, nervous?

Not at all!

That's weird.

Ash is the one who's battling, not you.

Yeah, I know.

I didn't understand back at the Santalune gym,

But now I know how hard it really is

to earn a gym badge.

Ever since Ash saw Grant at the Battle Chateau,

he's been doing nothing but preparing to challenge

the Cyllage gym and win a badge!

We've all seen how hard Ash's been working.

A victory here would mean the world to him!

And that's why I'm feeling so nervous.

I think they've all been training really hard together.

You're right.

I just hope all that training pays off for him.

Denne?

You're rooting for Ash too, Dedenne?

Dedenne, Dedenne!

[laughing]

All right, battle begin!

Okay, Froakie, Water Pulse!

Froakie!

Flash Cannon, go!

Onix!

Froak... Kie!

Froakie, are you all right?

Kie!

Awesome! Let's go!

Rock Polish!

[roaring]

Onix has increased its speed.

Froakie, Froakie!

I can see what your strategy is, Ash.

Attacking Onix's large body is your goal.

But can you deal with its speed?

Now go after Froakie!

Froak, Froak, Froak!

Froakie, stay calm, use Double Team!

Kie!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!

A speedy Double Team, indeed.

But it won't help you one bit against our next move!

Here it comes.

Now it's time to experience the true power of Rock-types!

Use Rock Tomb!

[roaring]

Oh, Ash.

I guess we'll see if all that training pays off!

You can do it, Froakie!Dedenne!

Froakie, watch carefully then, jump!

[roaring]

Froak! Froak!

That should end your Double Team.

Let's see if you can escape from our Rock Tomb!

Now, Froakie,

show them what all that training was for!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!

Keep on jumping!

Higher!

How is it possible?

We saw that Rock Tomb at the Battle Chateau,

and I knew we'd have to beat it

for me to earn a badge!

So we did some serious special training

to come up with a way to counteract that move!

I'm beyond impressed.

It's called the Froakie Rock Tomb Climb!

Amazing!

The Froakie Rock Tomb Climb!

Yay, yay, yay!Dedenne, Dedenne!

[Clemont] That should give Ash

lots of confidence!

Follow it up with Water Pulse!

Froakie!

Onix, Iron Tail!

Dodge it, quick!

Kie!

Froak...

Okay, now climb up on Onix!

Kie, Kie!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!

Onix, shake Froakie off!

[roaring]

Froakie, way to go!

Yeah, hang on tight!

Now finish it!

Water Pulse!

[roaring]

Froakie!

[roaring]

Onix is unable to battle.

Froakie wins!

All right!

The Froakie Rock Tomb Climb rocked it hard!

Pikachu!

Yes! The training paid off!

You were so great, Froakie!

Using Water Pulse from super-close range,

it sure worked well!

Thanks. Great job, Onix.

Please, return.

You are quite a surprise, Ash.

It's like what Viola warned me about.

She advised me not to underestimate you

and she was quite correct.

The best defense's a good offense.

That's the way I battle!

Kie!Pika!

Ash, you sure showed them how cool you are!

That's true, but there's still one wall left to climb.

Ash still has one more Pokémon to beat to earn the badge.

Time for my second Pokémon!

Tyrunt, let's go!

Tyrunt!

[all] "Who's that Pokémon?"

[all] "It's Tyrunt!"

[Tyrunt] Tyrunt.

Tyrunt!

Who's that Pokémon?

[Pokédex] Tyrunt, the Royal Heir Pokémon.

Tyrunt's jaws are so big and powerful

it can crunch up a car.

If it doesn't like something,

it responds with a wild tantrum.

Ty!

Tyrunt.

We have to watch out for that big mouth

and those sharp teeth!

Ash should remember that Tyrunt is both

a Rock-type and a Dragon-type Pokémon.

Dragon-type, too?

It sounds pretty strong to me.

Dedenne.

You're scared?

Guess you think it's strong, too.

Does the challenger wish to make a substitution now?

No thanks!

I'm gonna stick with Froakie, 'kay?

Kie!

[man] All right, battle begin!

Let's give it everything we've got!

Double Team!

Froak!

Froak, Froak, Froak!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak! Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!

Tyrunt, Rock Tomb!

Ty...

Kie!

It can use Rock Tomb, too!

Froakie!

You and Ash can do it!

The rocks are moving a lot faster!

Tyrunt!

Froak! Froak!

All right, Froakie, Rock Tomb Climb, now!

[Bonnie] Awesome, Rock Tomb Climb

and Double Team!

What a fascinating strategy!

Here we go.

Use Bubble!

Kie!

Froak!

We'll be able to get all the way up to the top!

I wouldn't be overly confident.

Huh?

Now, Tyrunt, jump!

Kie!

Whoa.

Pika!

Wow, what a jump!

Tyrunt, Draco Meteor!

Tyrunt!

Kie! Kie!

Froak!

Kie! Froak!

Froakie, no!

Froak...

[man] Froakie is unable to battle!

Tyrunt wins!

Runt!

Pika, Pika!

Oh, no.

Tyrunt can use Draco Meteor.

'Kay, Froakie, return.

That was an awesome job.

Pika, Pika!

So Ash, how do you like my Tyrunt?

I'm especially proud of Tyrunt's strong legs,

and its Rock Tomb

is the absolute best of the best!

And its Draco Meteor--

Just how will you climb that wall?

Runt!

You know what I think?

The stronger the opponent, the more fun the battle!

I'll deal with any wall you put up for me to climb!

All right, Fletchling, I choose you!

Fletch!

A Flying-type, eh?

Fletchling, Razor Wind!

Fletchling!

Fletch!

Use Crunch!

Runt!

Tyrunt ate the move?

Tyrunt's mouth and teeth are very strong!

All right, Fletchling, use Double Team!

Fletchling, Fletchling!

Chling, Chling! Chling, Chling!

It's all or nothing, now!

Steel Wing, let's go!

Fly straight in!

Fletchling! Fletchling!

Dragon Tail!

Another jump!

Tyrunt's jumping ability is simply incredible!

t totally counters any aerial advantage!

Tyrunt!

Fletch!Fletch!

Fletch! Fletch!

Fletchling!

Ty!

Fletch!

Ling!

Ling, Fletchling.

[man] Fletchling is unable to battle!

Tyrunt wins!

Ty!

Fletchling, return!

You were great out there.

Pika, Pika?

All right, buddy, it's up to you now!

Pika! You can do it!

Pikachu!

So it seems we've arrive at our final battle.

I know what all of Tyrunt's moves are.

All I've gotta do is win!

Your spirit is strong.

Although Rock Tomb Climb is creative,

it won't work against our Draco Meteor.

Also, Pikachu is an Electric-type

while Tyrunt is a Rock-and-Dragon-type.

Tyrunt clearly has the advantage.

Okay, bring it on!

Pikachu, Quick Attack!

Pikachu!

Pi, Pi, Pi, Pi!

Tyrunt, Crunch!

Ty.

Jump, Pikachu!

Pika!

Chu!

Draco Meteor!

Ty!

Iron Tail, go!

Chu!

Pika!

Runt!

Look out!

Pikachu's gonna get hit!

Dedenne, Dedenne!

You think so?

Pikachu, jump as high as you can!

Now, go into Draco Meteor Climb!

Pika, Pika, Pika!

Looks like Rock Tomb Climb.

But they turned it into Draco Meteor Climb!

No matter what happens,

you can never count Ash and Pikachu out!

Look at that!

Tyrunt, Dragon Tail!

Runt! Pi.

Ty.

Keep using Iron Tail!Chu!

Pika!

Pi.

Mmm.

Excellent.

Quite well-ex*cuted!

We keep on getting stronger even while we're battling!

And an exciting battle it is.

To show my respect for your passion,

I'm going to wrap this up with my favorite move!

Time for Rock Tomb!

Well, I'm ready for it!

Ty.

All right, deflect them with Iron Tail!

Pika, Chu!

Pika!

Pika, Pika, Pika, Pika!

Pika, Pika!

Ty!

Pika!

Tyrunt!

What a mouthful!

Now Tyrunt can't use Crunch!

Pikachu can get in close!

Now I'll wrap this up with my favorite move!

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pikachu!

Runt.

[man] Tyrunt is unable to battle!

Pikachu wins,

which means the match goes to the challenger, Ash!

You were so awesome!

Pikachu,we won!

Pika.

Pi.

[chuckling]

Pika!

They won!

Hooray!

[sighs]

That Ash never ceases to amaze me!

That certainly turned into

a heated and fearsome battle, didn't it?

Thank you so very much.

Tyrunt!

Your Rock Tomb Climb really surprised me.

But the biggest surprise of all

was having Pikachu use Thunderbolt,

which shouldn't have been that effective on Tyrunt,

a Rock-and-Dragon-type!

Everyone was awesome!

Pika! Chling, Chling!

Froakie!

Thanks to Froakie, Fletchling and Pikachu.

This's a victory for all three of you.

Wonderful!

By working together,

you all managed to scale the wall that is known

as a Cyllage City gym battle.

As a symbol of that,

I present you with the Cliff Badge.

Pikachu!

Thank you so much, Grant.

We did it, Pikachu.

All that hard work paid off!

Pikachu!

Froakie!

Fletchling, Fletch!

All right!

I won the Cliff Badge!

Pi, Pikachu!

Congratulations, Ash!

That battle was so cool!

I've never seen a battle of yours

when I wasn't completely amazed and impressed by you!

Thanks a lot, you guys!

[Grant] Tell me, Ash,

have you already decided which gym

you'll challenge for your third Kalos gym badge?

Nope!

Guess I'd better start thinking about that.

I've got an idea!

I know the perfect place we should go to next!

The Shalour City gym!

There's The Tower of Mastery nearby

and I've always wanted to go see it!

Yes, Shalour City.

Good choice.

It's quite nice.

Shalour City.

Sounds good to me!

I think you'll have

quite a different battle experience

at the Shalour gym than your typical battle.

What kind of different experience is that?

You'll find out when you get there.

But, I can guarantee you another challenging

and fierce wall for you to climb!

Pika!

Great!

Then I'm going to Shalour City for my next gym badge!

And that's that!

More adventures!

This should be fun!

I'm just wonder what kind of gym it is.

One more thing.

Let's have a rematch at the Battle Chateau.

You bet!

Ash, if you want to have a battle with Grant

at the Battle Chateau,

don't you need to have the noble title of Grand Duke?

Yeah, you're right.

I can do that!

It's all part of becoming a Pokémon Master!

Pika, Pika!

[announcer] Following a tough battle

with Grant at the Cyllage City gym,

Ash has earned his second Kalos gym badge,

the Cliff Badge!

Now, our heroes set their sights on Shalour City,

as the journey continues!
