eh Carnivine, old chum?

CARNIVINE: [CONTENT]

JESSIE: Sensations of heaven!

MEOWTH: Get to work!

Nail those noses to the grindstone!

JAMES: Nose's day off!

MIME JR: [CONTENT]

JESSIE: Oh, chill for a change!

Not only is a mudbath marvelous for the skin,

it's good for the soul!

MEOWTH: I got plenty a soul,

and what's that got to do with conquering Sinnoh?

JAMES: Relax!

JAMES: Come in, the mud's fine!

MEOWTH: Mitts off!

JAMES: Meowth, just take the plunge!

CARNIVINE: [HAPPY]

JESSIE: See? Feels good, right?

On a road, far from home,

you don't have to feel alone.

Brave and strong,

together we will be.

It's our destiny!

We will be heroes,

We can change the world if we try!

I go where you go,

Forever friends, you and I!

We will be heroes!

Battle Dimension Pokémon!

PIPLUP: [AWE]

ASH: Buizel's sure training hard!

BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

DAWN: Wow! Buizel seems different than before!

ASH: You're right!

Buizel's got a whole new level of focus for our next Gym battle

ASH: Remember, the battle against Lucario

at the Veilstone Gym was a draw!

That's why.

ASH: So, this time Buizel wants to win for sure!

ASH: All right!

ASH: Let's all get out there and give it our best sh*t!

PIKACHU, TURTWIG, CHIMCHAR, STARAVIA, GLIGAR: [EXCITED]

NARRATOR: With yesterday's fun

and exciting Croagunk Festival behind them,

everyone's looking forward to

Ash's Pastoria City Gym challenge,

and the chance for Ash to win his fourth Sinnoh Gym Badge!

PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

BUIZEL: [SEETHING]

BUIZEL: [ANGRY]

ASH: Buizel, sorry about that! It wasn't on purpose!

PIKACHU: [APOLOGETIC]

BUIZEL: [ANGRY]

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

BUIZEL: [ANGRY] TURTWIG: [EXERTION]

TURTWIG: [SHOCKED] BUIZEL: [GROWL]

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, GLIGAR, CHIMCHAR, PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

ASH: Stop, Buizel!

BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

TURTWIG, PIKACHU: [WORRIED CRY]

BROCK: Oh no!

DAWN: You okay?

ASH: That was great, Buizel!

Make sure you focus just like that in the Gym battle!

BUZIEL: [AGREE]

DAWN: Pikachu upset Buizel!

And that just makes things much more difficult

for the rest of the Pokémon.

BROCK: I guess that does show how serious Buizel is

about battling.

But it's the teamwork between Buizel

and the others that's got me worried!

WAKE: Good morning!

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, AMBIPOM, PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

WAKE: That's good! You're awake now!

ASH: Morning, Wake!

DAWN: Please don't scare me like that!

WAKE: Well, since our party boy

had such a great time last night.

I thought I'd come to you!

WAKE: So Ash, are you all set?

ASH: Yeah, the whole team's focused and ready to go!

Right, you guys?

PIKACHU, TURTWIG, BUIZEL,

CHIMCHAR, GLIGAR, STARAVIA: [WORRIED]

DAWN: You see, the truth is Buizel got upset with Pikachu.

And it ended up turning into a fight!

WAKE: Well I like that face! Like to battle do you?

BUIZEL: [DEFIANT]

WAKE: Little buddy,

today you're going to battle a good friend of mine!

WAKE: Come out Floatzel!

FLOATZEL: [GROWL]

BUIZEL: [CONCERNED]

ASH: Floatzel, check it out!

POKEDEX: Floatzel, the Sea Weasel Pokémon,

and the evolved form of Buizel.

Its floatation sac developed as an aid in chasing aquatic prey.

Floatzel can also carry people on its back.

BUIZEL: [WORRIED]

FLOATZEL: [CONFIDENT GRUNT]

BUIZEL: [CHALLENGING]

ASH: Okay Buizel, I'm right with you!

WAKE: That's the kind of attitude I like!

What do you say we continue this party at the Gym?

DAWN: Wow! This is such a beautiful Water-type Gym!

BROCK: Yeah! And in a Water-type field like this,

the trick is to successfully navigate your way

between all those islands situated in the middle!

JUDGE: All right,

the Pastoria Gym's next battle is about to begin!

In the blue corner!

The challenger, Ash, from Pallet Town!

And in the red corner,

the Gym Leader of Pastoria Gym, Crasher Wake!

WAKE: Okay! Crasher Wake is in the house!

JUDGE: You will each have the use of three Pokémon,

and the battle will be over

when one of you loses all three of them!

In addition, only the challenger

will be allowed to substitute Pokémon!

WAKE: As the leader of the Pastoria Gym,

it is my privilege and responsibility to see

just what kind of power and skill you and your Pokémon have!

WAKE: Gyarados! On the water!

GYARADOS: [ROAR]

ASH: Gyarados, huh? Pikachu, let's go!

PIKACHU: [DETERMINED]

BUNEARY: [CHEERING]

WAKE: Pikachu, eh? Then I guess we're ready! Good!

Now give it everything you've got!

ASH: You bet!

JUDGE: All right! Battle begin!!

ASH: All right Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

GYARADOS: [YELLING]

ASH: Bullseye!

DAWN: Wow, they're looking great!

GYARADOS: [ROAR] PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

ASH: That Thunderbolt didn't do a thing!

DAWN: But-but how?

BROCK: Gyarados must have incredible stamina

to tolerate Pikachu's Thunderbolt like that!

WAKE: Your strategy to take on my Water-type

with an Electric-type Pokémon is correct!

WAKE: Of course, my Gyarados

isn't just going to take that lying down! Let's go!

GYARADOS: [ROAR]

PIKACHU: [SEARCHING]

WAKE: Now, Dragon Rage!

GYARADOS: [DRAGON RAGE MOVE]

ASH: Pikachu, break that move up with Iron Tail!

PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE] [DETERMINED]

WAKE: Use Bite, and don't let it get away!

ASH: Volt Tackle!

PIKACHU: [VOLT TACKLE MOVE]

ASH: All right! A great sh*t!

WAKE: What? But that Volt Tackle hit in mid air!

JUDGE: Gyarados is unable to battle!

Pikachu is the winner!

ASH: Great job, Pikachu!

PIKACHU: [FOCUSED]

DAWN: What a move! Pikachu was great!

BUNEARY: [CHEERING] PIPLUP: [PROUD]

WAKE: Gyarados, thanks! You did your best!

As for you. The way you used the speed from Gyarados'

fall with that Volt Tackle was incredible!

ASH: All right, Wake, thanks a lot!

PIKACHU: [GRATEFUL]

WAKE: Time for our next battle! Quagsire, on the water!

QUAGSIRE: [EXCITED]

DAWN: So his second choice is Quagsire !

POKEDEX: Quagsire,

the Water Fish Pokémon, and the evolved form of Wooper.

Known as quite dimwitted,

it doesn't care when it crashes its head against rocks,

or the bottoms of boats.

ASH: Since Quagsire is partly a Ground-type Pokémon,

Electric-type moves won't work!

ASH: Pikachu, you take a break!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

ASH: Now Turtwig, I choose you!

TURTWIG: [EXCITED]

WAKE: Excellent strategy to come after my Quagsire

with a Grass type! After you!

ASH: Turtwig! Energy Ball!

TURTWIG: [ENERGY BALL MOVE]

QUAGSIRE: [EXERTION]

DAWN: Just barely a scratch!

WAKE: All right, Quagsire in the pool!

QUAGSIRE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: They're attacking from the water, are they?

ASH: Turtwig! Keep on moving around to confuse Quagsire!

TURTWIG: [EXERTION]

WAKE: Wow! Would you look at that speed!

But none of that will help one bit against my Quagsire!

ASH: [SURPRISE] WAKE: Sludge b*mb, now!

QUAGSIRE: [CHARGE UP]

QUAGISRE: [SLUDGE b*mb MOVE]

TURTWIG: [SHOCK]

TURTWIG: [YELP]

ASH: Hey Turtwig! You all right?

TURTWIG: [DETERMINED]

ASH: So how did those two know we were going do that?

WAKE: Even underwater,

Quagsire's excellent hearing allows it to know

just where Turtwig is every second!

I'm afraid there's no place to hide in my Gym!

WAKE: Quagsire, Ice Beam!

QUAGSIRE: [ICE BEAM MOVE]

TURTWIG: [SHOCK]

DAWN: A direct hit!

BROCK: With a lot of power!

WAKE: Now! Sludge b*mb again!

QUAGSIRE: [SLUDGE b*mb MOVE]

ASH: Now, Turtwig return!

WAKE: Smart. That was an excellent decision!

QUAGSIRE: [CONFIDENT]

BROCK, DAWN, PIPLUP, AMBIPOM, PACHIRISU, CHIMCHAR: [RELIEVED]

DAWN: That Quagsire can use Ice Beam!

BROCK: Very clever.

Wake anticipated that challengers might come here

with a Grass type,

so he came up with a move to counter their strategy.

Of course, this puts the pressure on Ash!

ASH: Okay, in that case,

I'm going with a Water-type. Buizel that's you!

BUIZEL: [READY]

DAWN: You can do it, Buizel!

PIKACHU: [CHEERING]

PIKACHU: [ANNOYED]

BUIZEL: [ANGRY]

DAWN: Oh no! Looks to me like

Buizel must still be bothered about everything

that happened before.

ASH: Buizel, you know you're battling Quagsire remember?

BUIZEL: [IRRITATED]

QUAGSIRE: [FOCUSED]

BUIZEL: [GROWL]

ASH: Buizel! Sonic Boom, go!

BUIZEL: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

QUAGSIRE: [AMUSED]

ASH: What the?

WAKE: That's not going to do at all! Use Ice Beam!

QUAGSIRE: [ICE BEAM MOVE]

BUIZEL: [CONFIDENT]

ASH: I think we'll grab some of that Ice Beam!

Buizel, Aqua Jet, now!

QUAGSIRE: [ICE BEAM MOVE] BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

DAWN: Perfect!

PIPLUP: [EXCITED] BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

WAKE: What's going on?

DAWN: Get ready for an Ice Aqua Jet!

BUIZEL: [EXERT] QUAGSIRE: [GROAN]

JUDGE: Quagsire is unable to battle!

Buizel is the winner!

ASH: Nice job, Buizel!

BUIZEL: [SMUG]

DAWN: That was fantastic!

BROCK: Yeah, they put together a great combination!

DAWN: Wow! And now that Wake's only left with one Pokémon,

everything's sure going Ash's way!

WAKE: Quagsire, excellent! Time for a good rest!

WAKE: Nice, Ash! You've really given me a enjoyable battle!

Your speed and combinations are all first-rate!

And that deserves respect. Now for my final Pokémon!

WAKE: Floatzel! On the water!

FLOATZEL: [READY]

BUIZEL: [FOCUSED]

DAWN: Of course I know that's Buizel's evolved form,

but I'm sure it'll work out fine!

You can do it, Buizel!

PIPLUP: [CHEERING]

ASH: Buizel! Use Aqua Jet!

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

WAKE: Bounce it back!

FLOATZEL: [AMUSED] BUIZEL: [SHOCK]

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIKACHU: [SHOCK]

DAWN: What's going on?

FLOATZEL: [SMUG] FLOATZEL: [EXERTION]

BUIZEL: [SHOCK]

ASH: Oh no! Floatzel's defense's too tough!

WAKE: I'll tell you, Floatzel's floatation sac

can get big enough for a person to ride!

Even a super-strong move like Giga Impact

wouldn't have any effect either!

Pretty powerful stuff wouldn't you say?

FLOATZEL: [SMUG]

BUIZEL: [ANGRY]

ASH: Then, how about this?

ASH: Use Water Pulse!

BUIZEL: [WATER PULSE MOVE]

WAKE, FLOATZEL: [SMUG]

FLOATZEL: [EXERTION]

FLOATZEL: [SMUG]

PIKACHU: [SHOCK]

DAWN: Floatzel is so strong !

WAKE: Now, we'll just have a turn!

Use Razor Wind!

FLOATZEL: [RAZOR WIND MOVE]

BUIZEL: [YELP]

ASH: Buizel no! PIKACHU: [CONCERN]

BUIZEL: [YELP]

DAWN: Brock, that was a double-bladed Razor Wind!

BROCK: This'll be tough.

BROCK: They're both Water types

and Floatzel's evolved from Buizel!

Ash's at a disadvantage if Buizel stays in.

ASH: We won't give up! Buizel, Water g*n!

BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

FLOATZEL: [BRACING]

WAKE: Water-type moves aren't gonna b*at us!

ASH: Buizel's about more than just moves! Go!

BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

WAKE: Intercept it!

FLOATZEL: [EXERTION]

BUIZEL: [YELP]

DAWN: Buizel!

BROCK: He's battling a Gym Leader!

Ash can't win by pure power!

BUIZEL: [FOCUS]

WAKE: Floatzel, it's time for Bulk Up!

FLOATZEL: [BULK UP MOVE]

ASH: What's Bulk Up?

BROCK: It raises both att*ck and defense power,

which means he planning to finish this now!

FLOATZEL: [EXERT]

ASH: Buizel, Sonic Boom!

WAKE: Razor Wind, go!

BUIZEL: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

FLOATZEL: [RAZOR WIND MOVE]

ASH: Buizel, think of the water as your friend and then att*ck!

WAKE: In and out of water.

Now we'll see which Trainer has the better connection

with their Pokémon!

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE] FLOATZEL: [YELP]

BUIZEL: [GRUNT]

BUIZEL: [WATER PULSE MOVE]

FLOATZEL: [YELP]

ASH: Now that's a Water Pulse!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

BUIZEL: [HAPPY]

BROCK: What a move!

Buizel incorporated the pool water

into that Water Pulse perfectly!

DAWN: And that's just exactly what Ash wanted Buizel to do!

WAKE: Don't count your winnings just yet! Use Ice Fang!

FLOATZEL: [EXERTION]

ASH: Sonic Boom go!

BUIZEL: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

FLOATZEL: [ICE FANG MOVE]

BUIZEL: [YELP]

DAWN: No! Buizel!

ASH: We won't lose! Water Pulse!

BUIZEL: [WATER PULE MOVE]

WAKE: Bounce it back!

BUIZEL: [YELP]

PIKACHU: [SHOCK]

ASH: Hey Buizel, are you okay?

DAWN: Buizel, get up, quick!

PIPLUP: [URGING]

BUIZEL: [STRUGGLING]

WAKE: Razor Wind now!

FLOATZEL: [RAZOR WIND MOVE]

ASH: Buizel, intercept it with Aqua Jet!

BUIZEL: [DAZED] ASH, PIKACHU: [SHOCK]

BUIZEL: [YELP]

PIKACHU: [SHOUT]

DAWN: But, why did Buizel do that?

BROCK: Buizel's confused!

BROCK: Being hit by a Water Pulse

can lead to being confused!

But since it was Buizel's own move,

I never thought that would happen!

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

ASH: Buizel, how about a short rest?

BUIZEL: [DAZED]

ASH: Pikachu! Ready to go?

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE] / [SHOUT]

FLOATZEL: [GROWL]

ASH: Buizel, let's leave the rest up to Pikachu!

Pikachu, Floatzel took a lot of damage from battling Buizel,

so let's finish this battle up right now!

ASH: All right, Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

WAKE: Whirlpool!

FLOATZEL: [WHIRLPOOL MOVE]

ASH, BUIZEL: [BRACE]

BUIZEL: [SUPRISED]

PIKACHU: [EXERTION] ASH: Volt Tackle go!

WAKE: Razor Wind!

PIKACHU: [VOLT TACKLE MOVE]

FLOATZEL: [RAZOR WIND MOVE]

PIKACHU: [YELP]

ASH: Pikachu no!

WAKE: Use Ice Fang!

FLOATZEL: [ICE FANG MOVE]

PIKACHU: [GROAN]

ASH: Pikachu!

FLOATZEL: [TAUNT]

PIKACHU: [ANGRY]

BUIZEL: [CONCERN]

PIKACHU: [ANGRY]

ASH: Pikachu!

BUIZEL: [CONFUSED]

ASH: What's on Pikachu's back?

DAWN: It looks frozen !

BROCK: That's a side effect of Ice Fang !

WAKE: You see, Ash,

my amazing Floatzel is no ordinary Water-type Pokémon!

WAKE: It's the strongest Water Pokémon!

BUIZEL: [CALLING]

BUIZEL: [URGING]

ASH: Buizel! Your confusion wore off!

BUIZEL: [READY] ASH: Pikachu's in trouble!

So can you get back in the battle?

BUIZEL: [DETERMINED]

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

BUIZEL: [HAPPY]

WAKE: Oh! Excellent teamwork, Ash!

ASH: Okay Pikachu, switch with Buizel now!

PIKACHU: [EXERTION] / [HAPPY] BUIZEL: [HAPPY]

PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

PIKACHU: [SURPRISE]

DAWN: Wow, look what Buizel did!

BROCK: Yeah!

ASH: Thanks a lot, Buizel!

PIKACHU: [GRATEFUL]

BUIZEL: [READY]

ASH: Buizel! This battle's all in your hands!

BUIZEL: [FOCUSED]

WAKE: That's wonderful! Seeing true friendship between Pokémon!

WAKE: So! Ash, bring it all on!

ASH: Okay! Buizel! Use Aqua Jet!

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

WAKE: Ha! You can't defeat Floatzel with Water-type moves!

Ice Fang, go!

FLOATZEL: [EXERTION]

BUIZEL: [YELP]

FLOATZEL: [EXERTION]

WAKE: Destroy where they stand with Razor Wind!

FLOATZEL: [RAZOR WIND MOVE]

DAWN: The same way it used that move as before!

WAKE: Jump above, Floatzel!

FLOATZEL: [GRUNT]

WAKE: What the?

ASH: All right, Buizel Knock Floatzel down with Water Pulse!

BUIZEL: [WATER PULSE MOVE]

FLOATZEL: [YELP]

WAKE: Floatzel!

FLOATZEL: [GROAN]

JUDGE: Floatzel is unable to battle! The winner is Buizel!

And so the victor is the challenger, Ash!

ASH: All right!

BUIZEL: [GRUNT]

DAWN: They won! They really won!

BROCK: They were amazing!

All that damage and they still hung in there!

WAKE: As always, great job Floatzel!

Witnessing Buizel dive underwater like that

during the expl*si*n was something to see!

They're quite a team!

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

BUIZEL: [APOLOGETIC]

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

TURTWIG: [HAPPY]

DAWN: It's nice to see everyone making up!

PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

WAKE: Ash!

BROCK, ASH, DAWN, BUIZEL, PIKACHU, TRUTWIG: [CONFUSED]

WAKE: You did a masterful job

combining each of your Pokémon's abilities!

WAKE: Great effort!

Requiring the cooperation of Pokémon and Trainer alike,

and I was quite moved! You should be very proud!

ASH: Gee thanks!

WAKE: Ah, and here's proof that you were victorious

at the Pastoria Gym: the Fen Badge!

ASH: Wow! PIKACHU: [AWE]

ASH: Thank you very much, Wake!

ASH: All right! We've got the Fen Badge!

PIKACHU, BUIZEL, TURTWIG: [CHEERING]

NARRATOR: After defeating a powerful Gym Leader

like Crasher Wake,

Ash's fourth Sinnoh Gym Badge win is all that much sweeter!

And besides, what could be better than

brand new friends and a brand new badge?

NARRATOR: But one wonders what happened to Team Rocket?

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH, MIME JR, CARNIVINE, WOBBUFFET: [CONTENT]

NARRATOR: Stay tuned!
