NARRATOR: Following a false start, the long-anticipated
moment of Ash's Gym battle against Clemont at the Lumiose
City Gym has finally arrived!
ASH: 'Kay s do this for real!
PIKACHU
CLEMONT: I'm all set.
SERENA: You'll be great.
And this time there's no stopping you!
BONNIE: So lots of luck to both of you!
CLEMBOT: I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
ASH: I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town!
I've come here to win my Lumiose City Gym badge!
CLEMBOT: Your battle was confirmed some time ago.
ASH: I'm all set to go.
ASH: Yess. Shall we do this?
CLEMONT: I'm ready for you, Ash!
You're just a kid on a quest
To be the best of the best
Someday you're destined for power and glory
You know you're up to the test
There's only one way to tell this story
Be a hero!
Be a hero!
All the power is at your command
Face your fears and show you're a hero
The future of the world is in your hand
Pokémon!
SERENA: Now. Come on out, Braixen and Pancham.
BRAIXEN
PANCHAM
BONNIE: Dedenne, too!
DEDENNE
SERENA: Make sure you cheer for Ash and Clemont.
BRAIXEN
PANCHAM
CHESPIN
BONNIE: You're not battling, Chespin?
CHESPIN
BONNIE: Then you can cheer with all of us!
PANCHAM!
CHESPIN
MEYER: Looks like I made it in time.
BONNIE: Daddy?
CLEMONT: You came?!
ASH: It's Meyer!
MEYER: I wanted to see what kind of a Gym Leader my boy is.
Now Ash! I want you to give my son everything you've got!
Show me some honest-to-goodness fireworks out there!
ASH: Right! You bet I will!
CLEMONT: I appreciate that, Ash! Hold onto your hat, Dad!
MEYER
ASH: But don't forget. I'm gonna win that Lumiose gym badge!
PIKACHU
CLEMONT: Don't forget--since I left, I've been training, too!
This won't be a walk in the park. That's one thing you
can count on. You'll never forget this battle.
And you can count on that, too!
CLEMONT: Clembot. I'd like you to act as referee.
CLEMBOT: The Lumiose Gym battle between Ash and Clemont will now
begin! This will be a three-on-three match, and the
battle will be over when all three of either Trainer's
Pokémon are unable to continue.
CLEMBOT: Only the challenger will be allowed to make
substitutions during the match.
And now, bring out your first Pokémon!
CLEMONT: We're all ready, so here it is. Go Bunnelby!
BUNNELBY
ASH: Bunnelby, huh?
ASH: All right. Pikachu, you're up!
PIKACHU
MEYER: Bunnelby against Pikachu.
That's quite a matchup to start out with.
CLEMBOT: And now, battle begin!
CLEMONT: Ash! Here's to a good battle!
ASH: Right! There'll be no holding back!
ASH: Now, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!
PIKACHU
CLEMONT: Make a dust cloud with your ears, Bunnelby!
BUNNELBY
PIKACHU
MEYER: Oh my, well done!
CLEMONT: Now, Bunnelby, use Dig!
BUNNELBY
ASH: Pikachu, run and don't let Bunnelby track you!
CLEMONT: Now, Bunnelby!
BUNNELBY
PIKACHU
BUNNELBY
BONNIE: Wait, isn't this...
ASH: All right, Pikachu, Quick Attack!
PIKACHU
BUNNELBY!
BUNNELBY
CLEMONT: Bunnelby, Double Slap!
BUNNELBY
PIKACHU!
BUNNELBY!
ASH: Iron Tail, let's go!
PIKACHU
CLEMONT: Bunnelby, catch it with your ears!
BUNNELBY
PIKACHU
SERENA: Incredible!
BONNIE: Right. I totally forgot you weren't there back then...
BONNIE: They're the same moves.
BONNIE: Yup! The same ones Ash and Clemont used in
their battle when we first met.
BONNIE: Of course, Team Rocket made trouble,
so they had to stop.
SERENA: So, is this battle like a continuation of that one?
MEYER: You could put it that way.
MEYER: Now that I think of it, this Gym battle did start
that first day.
ASH: I had a feeling this might happen.
CLEMONT: Well, you did manage to escape with that Electro
Ball back then. But it won't happen this time!
CLEMONT: Use Wild Charge!
BUNNELBY
ASH: Pikachu!
BUNNELBY
PIKACHU
BUNNELBY
PIKACHU!
ASH: Pikachu!
CLEMONT: Now use Dig!
BUNNELBY
ASH: What?!
PIKACHU
MEYER: Look at that! That's interesting.
BONNIE: What?
MEYER: Wild Charge is a move that causes
recoil damage, you see.
MEYER: By using Dig right after Wild Charge, it avoids
a counterattack when taking that damage.
SERENA: So Clemont planned it as a combination?
BONNIE: Wow, Clemont. That's cool.
ASH: Pikachu, be careful! Here it comes!
PIKACHU
BUNNELBY?!
BUNNELBY
ASH: Nice strategy, Clemont.
ASH: He wasn't kidding when he said he's done a lot of training
since he came back home.
CLEMONT: I've thought about strategy a lot. I know what I
need in order to take on Ash and his unpredictable battling
style... and it's all about analysis and planning.
CLEMONT: This is about much more than victory for me...
I want to bring out the best in all my challengers!
ASH: Right. Then I'm gonna show you my very best now!
ASH: Pikachu, use Quick Attack!
PIKACHU
CLEMONT: Dig, let's go!
BUNNELBY
ASH: Use Iron Tail! Slam it on the ground!
PIKACHU
BUNNELBY
PIKACHU
ASH: Now Iron Tail one more time!
PIKACHU
BUNNELBY!
BUNNELBY
CLEMONT: Bunnelby!
CLEMBOT: Bunnelby is unable to battle. Pikachu's the winner!
ASH: All right!
PIKACHU
BRAIXEN
SERENA: That was amazing!
BONNIE: Aw I feel bad for Bunnelby.
CLEMONT: Now, Bunnelby, return!
CLEMONT: Well done, Bunnelby. Thank you!
ASH: We got the first one.
PIKACHU
ASH: But now things are really gonna heat up!
PIKACHU
SERENA: Ash looks like he's a great time!
BONNIE: He's been looking forward to this for a long time!
BRAIXEN!
CLEMONT: Here's Pokémon number two. Come on out!
HELIOLISK
ASH: Okay. Heliolisk. Pikachu, return!
PIKACHU
ASH: All right, I choose you!
GOODRA
CLEMONT: A-ha! So Goodra is your second Pokémon.
GOODRA
ASH: It's gotten really strong.
BRAIXEN
BONNIE: Go for it, Goodra and Heliolisk! Good luck!
CLEMONT: Okay, Heliolisk.
Now you're going to have to really focus, okay!
HELIOLISK
ASH: Now, Goodra. Go! Dragon Pulse!
CLEMONT: Heliolisk, get moving!
HELIOLISK
GOODRA?
SERENA: Heliolisk's moving differently than before!
BONNIE: I'm getting dizzy
CLEMONT: Goodra! I warn you,
you can't possibly deal with my Heliolisk's incredible speed!
GOODRA?
CLEMONT: Use Flash!
HELIOLISK
GOODRA!
ASH: What?!
CLEMONT: Now, Dragon Tail!
HELIOLISK
GOODRA!
ASH: "Who's that Pokémon?"
ASH: "It's Goodra!"
DEDENNE!
GOODRA
ASH: Goodra, you okay?
GOODRA!
ASH: Yess. Let's go. Use Dragon Pulse!
GOODRA!
CLEMONT: Heliolisk. Knock Goodra off balance again!
HELIOLISK
GOODRA
GOODRA
HELIOLISK
CLEMONT: And now, use Thunder Wave!
HELIOLISK
GOODRA
ASH: Goodra!
CLEMONT: Goodra's been paralyzed!
GOODRA!
ASH: Goodra, return!
ASH: Don't worry. You'll get another shot.
CLEMONT: So what will you do now, Ash?
ASH: To beat Heliolisk... I've gotta match speed with speed!
ASH: 'Kay oose you!
HAWLUCHA
CLEMONT: Clever. Now it's a speed battle.
ASH: Hawlucha, use Karate Chop!
HAWLUCHA
CLEMONT: Use Thunder Wave again!
HELIOLISK
HAWLUCHA
HELIOLISK!
CLEMONT: Heliolisk...
HELIOLISK
HAWLUCHA!
SERENA: All right!
MEYER: Heliolisk is also a Normal type,
so it's weak against Fighting-type moves.
CLEMONT: Can you still go on?!
HELIOLISK
CLEMONT: Parabolic Charge!
HELIOLISK
ASH: Hawlucha, dodge it!
HAWLUCHA!
ASH: Hawlucha!!
PIKACHU
MEYER: Parabolic Charge is an attack that also heals.
So the damage Heliolisk took is disappearing!
HELIOLISK
ASH: We're not done yet! Flying Press!
HAWLUCHA
HAWLUCHA
CLEMONT: Use Flash!
HELIOLISK
HAWLUCHA?!
CLEMONT: Now, Parabolic Charge!
HELIOLISK
HAWLUCHA!
HAWLUCHA
ASH: Hawlucha!
HELIOLISK
ASH: Hold on...
ASH: Got it!
HAWLUCHA
HELIOLISK
ASH: Hawlucha! I think I found an opening!
HAWLUCHA?
CLEMONT: Use Flash once again!
ASH: Now lure it in!
HAWLUCHA
HELIOLISK
ASH: All right, Hawlucha, High Jump Kick!
HAWLUCHA
HELIOLISK!
PIKACHU
HELIOLISK
CLEMBOT: Heliolisk is unable to battle. Hawlucha's the winner!
FENNEKIN!
BONNIE: Wow. Hawlucha's strong!
SERENA: Yay, Ash! Way to go!
MEYER: Those sparks are flying now
ASH: That's two Pokémon!
HAWLUCHA?
PIKACHU!
ASH: Way to go, Hawlucha!
HAWLUCHA!
CLEMONT: Great job, Heliolisk. Take a good rest.
CLEMONT: You surprised me.
I really thought I had you both on the ropes.
Tell me what that opening you saw was.
ASH: Its frills.
CLEMONT: What about them?!
ASH: You see, every time Heliolisk uses an attack,
it stops moving for a second.
So all I had to do is watch and wait for that to happen!
ASH: It happens really fast, but with Hawlucha's speed,
we could pull it off.
And then, Hawlucha's High Jump Kick did the rest.
CLEMONT: Very clever. As a Gym Leader, I thank you.
That's a good thing to remember.
CLEMONT: All right then, Ash my third and last Pokémon.
Luxray, you're up!
LUXRAY!
ASH: So Clemont saved Luxray for last.
PIKACHU
HAWLUCHA
ASH: Hawlucha, are you still okay?
HAWLUCHA
ASH: Yess!
ASH: All right, use Flying Press!
HAWLUCHA
SERENA: It hit!
CLEMONT: Luxray, Electric Terrain!
LUXRAY!
LUXRAY
MEYER: Great strategy, son! Electric Terrain powers up all
Electric-type moves that are used on the b*ttlefield!
CHESPIN
BONNIE: Does that mean Luxray's got a big advantage?
MEYER: That's right.
ASH: That won't stop us! High Jump Kick!
HAWLUCHA
CLEMONT: Wild Charge, go!
LUXRAY
HAWLUCHA!
SERENA: Look at all that power!
MEYER: Electric Terrain made that Wild Charge even stronger!
That must have hurt...
CLEMBOT: Hawlucha is unable to battle! Luxray is the winner!
LUXRAY
BONNIE: Way to go, Luxray!
CHESPIN!
SERENA: With Electric Terrain What will Ash do now?
How will he battle at all?
ASH: You were great, Hawlucha. You deserve a good rest!
ASH : 'Kay, u?
PIKACHU!
PIKACHU!
CLEMONT: All right! This b*ttlefield's perfect!
For both our Electric types!
Now show me how you're going to use it to your advantage!
ASH: Whatever you say! Now, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!
PIKACHU
CLEMONT: Luxray, Thunder Fang!
Use it to bite into Pikachu's Thunderbolt!
LUXRAY!
ASH: Oh NO!!
CLEMONT: Now use Wild Charge!
LUXRAY!
PIKACHU!
LUXRAY
PIKACHU!
PIKACHU
CLEMONT: Swift, let's go!
LUXRAY
ASH: Knock it back with Iron Tail!
PIKACHU
PIKACHU
CLEMONT: Now, Luxray. Use Wild Charge!
LUXRAY
PIKACHU!
PIKACHU
CLEMBOT: Pikachu is unable to battle. Luxray is the winner!
MEYER: That's two Pokémon each...
ASH: Pikachu!
PIKACHU
ASH: Thanks, buddy. You go have a good rest.
CLEMONT: All right Each of us has just one Pokémon left.
This battle will decide the whole thing!
CLEMONT: No matter what happens, no hard feelings.
ASH: Sure, but I'm gonna win!
CLEMONT: I'm really feeling conflicted.
I want to give Ash a badge, but then again, I don't!
I don't know how I feel.
Except I want this battle to go on and on...
CLEMONT: Show me the real Ash-- All the way to the final move!
ASH: You can count on it! Goodra! I choose you!
GOODRA
ASH: 'Kay, do this!
CLEMONT: Even Pikachu couldn't win on
this electric b*ttlefield...
CLEMONT: Goodra must still feel that paralysis.
We'll just see what happens!
ASH: Clemont's right...
ASH: So we'll make the b*ttlefield work for us!
ASH: Use Rain Dance!
GOODRA
CLEMONT: Of course!
You made it rain to eliminate all the electricity!
MEYER: Clever boy.
I'm afraid Clemont got outsmarted on that one.
BONNIE: How come?
GOODRA
MEYER: It's Goodra's Ability, Hydration.
When it rains, it heals Goodra's status condition.
SERENA: And you're saying Ash planned for that?
MEYER: It would seem so.
ASH: Now, Goodra! This is the perfect b*ttlefield for you!
So give it everything you've got!
GOODRA!
CLEMONT: Ash's unpredictability wreaks havoc with my
carefully laid plans. But I was waiting for this.
CLEMONT: Ready? I'm going to play it by ear!
Luxray! Swift, let's go!
LUXRAY
ASH: Use your tail! Knock them back!
GOODRA
CLEMONT: Use Thunder Fang!
CLEMONT: This will be all over soon.
LUXRAY
ASH: Goodra, Bide!
GOODRA
LUXRAY
MEYER: What's Ash up to?
I'm surprised he's taking such a passive stance
GOODRA
LUXRAY!
CLEMONT: I want to keep battling some more!
We'll just beat you before your energy's released!
Now, Wild Charge, go!
LUXRAY
PIKACHU!
ASH: All right keep it going, Goodra!
CLEMONT: Still hanging on? In that case, use Swift!
GOODRA!
LUXRAY
GOODRA
MEYER: It's still hanging in there...
GOODRA
ASH: Man. I kinda wish we could keep this awesome battle going,
too... But it's time to win this and get my badge!
ASH: Goodra, now let 'er RIP!
GOODRA
LUXRAY?
CLEMONT: Luxray!
SERENA: So powerful!
FENNEKIN!
GOODRA
LUXRAY
CLEMBOT: Luxray is unable to battle! Goodra is the winner!
Which means the match goes to Ash of Pallet Town!
ASH: We did it, Goodra!
PIKACHU
ASH: Awesome! You were great!
GOODRA!
That was some battle, Goodra!
SERENA: Ash really won the match!
BONNIE: Clemont and his Pokémon battled hard.
He's an amazing big brother!
CLEMONT: Luxray, you were just great.
LUXRAY
CLEMONT: Ash is incredible.
I guess I still have a lot to learn... Thanks, Luxray!
ASH: Clemont, thanks a lot!
CLEMONT: I didn't do anything...
ASH: You made it lots of fun. What a great battle!
PIKACHU
SERENA: Congratulations, Ash!
ASH: Hey thanks, Serena.
BONNIE: Wow, I never ever saw you look so totally cool!
MEYER: Clemont, that was a terrific battle!
I'm so happy to see what a fine young man you've become!
CLEMONT: Well, Ash? We did what we said we'd do.
I believe this is what you wanted!
CLEMONT: This is proof of your victory at the Lumiose Gym.
The Voltage Badge.
PIKACHU
ASH: All right! I got the Voltage Badge!
PIKACHU
CLEMONT: So this is your fifth badge, isn't it?
ASH: Yup!
MEYER: You know what that means.
Only three more badges then you can enter the Kalos League!
ASH: Right!
MEYER: So where are you going for your sixth badge?
Have you decided?
ASH: No sir, not yet...
SERENA: In that case-- How about here?
SERENA: Ta-da! Laverre City! It'll be lots of fun!
ASH: Yeah. Great! We're going to the Laverre City Gym!
PIKACHU
MEYER: Hey son, you're going too, aren't you?
CLEMONT: Of course, Dad!
BONNIE: Yippee! My big brother's traveling with us again!
CLEMONT: Well, after all, you need me.
CLEMONT: Someone who's cool and calm.
Don't forget you can become quite the boisterous battler!
ASH: Guess you're right.
Are you sure you wanna take a break from your Gym?
CLEMBOT: You have a great time. Leave the Gym to me.
CLEMONT: Thanks, Clembot.
CLEMONT: Let's continue on our journey together. All right?
ASH: Deal! Great to have you back. I'm in!
CLEMONT: Thanks!
