Battle Dimension

Pokémon!

CONNALLY, HARD TO SEE: And now!

The Gym Battle between Ash the challenger

and Maylene the Gym Leader is about to begin!

CONNALLY: Each side will use three Pokémon

and the challenge will be over

when all three Pokémon on one side are unable to battle!

CONNALLY: Also, only the challenger

will be allowed to substitute Pokémon!

MAYLENE: Here we go, Ash.

Let's give it everything we've got!

ASH: That's the only way I know!

BROCK: Those two are really psyched!

DAWN: Everybody ready?

AMBIMPOM, BUNEARY, PACHIRISU, PIPLUP: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BROCK: Wow, Dawn. Cheering for both sides?

DAWN: Well, I want to witness the greatest battle of all time!

ASH: That all? No prob!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

MAYLENE: That's just what I want too!

All right, Machoke come on out!

MACHOKE: [APPEARING]

DAWN: She's got a Machoke, huh?

POKEDEX: Machoke. The Superpower Pokémon.

With enough strength to lift a giant truck with one hand,

Machoke are often used for extremely heavy work.

ASH: Now it's my turn! Staravia, I choose you!

STARAVIA: [APPEARING]

BROCK: Ash has chosen a good matchup using Staravia!

CONNALLY: So! Battle begin!

ASH: Staravia, Quick att*ck!

STARAVIA: [QUICK att*ck MOVE]

MAYLENE: Now Machoke, use Brick Break!

MACHOKE: [BRICK BREAK MOVE]

ASH: What the?

DAWN: She's using Brick Break as a defense!

BROCK: Sounds like what a warrior like Maylene would do.

ASH: No way! Push back!

STARAVIA: [ATTACKING]

MACHOKE: [STRUGGLING]

ASH: All right, use Aerial Ace!

STARAVIA: [AERIAL ACE MOVE]

MAYLENE: Dodge it, then Cross Chop!

MACHOKE: [DODGING]

ASH: Uh oh!

MACHOKE: [CROSS CHOP MOVE]

STARAVIA: [DAZED]

ASH: Staravia!

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

BROCK: Ash wanted Staravia to get closer with that Aerial Ace!

DAWN: Maylene's strategy against Flying-types is dead on!

MAYLENE: Now keep using Brick Break!

MACHOKE: [BRICK BREAK MOVE]

BROCK: I don't think Staravia can afford

to take many more hits!

MAYLENE: All right, time to finish this with Seismic Toss!

MACHOKE: [SEISMIC TOSS MOVE]

STARAVIA: [WORRIED]

ASH: Quick att*ck let's go!

STARAVIA: [DETERMINED]

MACHOKE: [QUICK att*ck MOVE]

ASH: All right use Aerial Ace!

STARAVIA: [AERIAL ACE MOVE]

MACHOKE: [FALLING BACK]

MAYLENE: Machoke, oh no!

DAWN: That was a critical hit!

BROCK: And because of the intense speed

from that Quick att*ck all its effects were doubled!

MACHOKE: [DAZED]

CONNALLY: So! Machoke is unable to battle!

ASH: Way to go Staravia!

PIKACHU: [CHEERING]

STARAVIA: [RESOLUTE]

MAYLENE: Wow, you worked really hard Machoke.

Now you deserve a good rest!

MAYLENE: And you Ash.

to Aerial Ace. I'm impressed!

ASH: Gee, thanks!

MAYLENE: Now, time to bring out my second Pokémon!

MEOWTH, JESSIE, JAMES : Quickly, quietly.

DAWN: Man, they've really mastered Brave Bird!

BROCK: Yeah, though it's a move that

causes damage to the one using it too.

STARAVIA: [FATIGUED]

BROCK: Use Brave Bird too much, and it could be dangerous!

MAYLENE: Meditite, thanks for your hard work!

MAYLENE: Ash, you and Staravia have Brave Bird down pat!
