{{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} have finally arrived in [[Striaton City]]. As enthusiastic and ready as he was to battle, he soon realizes that he does not know where the [[Gym]] is located. {{an|Iris}} then comments on Ash's behavior: typical of a 'small child', and gives a wide grin. As {{TP|Iris|Axew}} appears from within her hair and she feeds him with the fruit she was holding, a formally-dressed young man with green hair appears, his green eyes having taken notice of Axew. He recites a short prose complimenting Axew, and then talks about the positive compatibility between Iris and her Pokémon. As Pikachu watches in doubt, he made a sound that captured the young man's attention. Eyes alight with excitement, he picks Pikachu up and examines him for a while, before returning him to his Trainer.
{{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} have finally arrived in [[Striaton City]]. As enthusiastic and ready as he was to battle, he soon realizes that he does not know where the [[Gym]] is located. {{an|Iris}} comments on Ash's behavior: typical of a 'small child', and gives a wide grin. As {{TP|Iris|Axew}} appears from within her hair and she feeds him with some fruit, a formally-dressed young man with green hair appears, his green eyes having taken notice of Axew. He recites a short prose complimenting Axew, and then talks about the positive compatibility between Iris and her Pokémon. As Pikachu watches in doubt, he makes a sound that captures the young man's attention. Ash explains that he is from [[Kanto]], the young man introduces himself as {{an|Cilan}}, a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. Ash is confused as to what that is, and Iris goes on to call Ash a little kid. Cilan assures Iris that the job is not well known outside of [[Unova]], and he explains that Pokémon Connoisseur can judge the [[friendship]] between a Trainer and their Pokémon. Ash becomes very interested and requests Cilan to examine his bond with Pikachu. However, at that moment, Iris reminds Ash about his purpose in Striaton City, and Cilan, who happened to know where the [[Striaton Gym]] is, lead the way.


As Ash explains where he is [[Kanto|from]], the young man introduces himself as {{an|Cilan}}, a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. Ash is confused as to what that is, and Iris goes on to call Ash a little kid. Cilan then assures Iris that the job is not well known outside of Unova, so he then goes on to describe what a Pokémon Connoisseur is. Ash became very interested and requests Cilan to examine the bond between Pikachu and him. However, at that moment, Iris reminds Ash about his purpose in Striaton City, and Cilan, who happened to know where the [[Striaton Gym]] is, led the way.
Arriving at a large, grand-looking building, Ash barges in and requests a battle, only what seems like a restaurant. As the waiters, [[Chili]] and [[Cress]] greet them, Cilan reassures Ash by seating him at an empty table. The waiters attempt to take his order, offering him [[Soda Pop]], a delicious lunch, and various other consumables, but Ash is not at all interested. Finally, after a long session of pestering, Ash loses his cool, and demands a Gym Battle by shouting. Ash, enraged, proceeds to take his leave when the lights suddenly dim. He turns to see Cilan and the two waiters walking synchronously into an empty area, taking their positions. As a spotlight shines onto each of them, they briefly mentioned how they would battle, and reveal themselves to be brothers and the Striaton [[Gym Leader]]s. Together, they recite 'It's showtime!', and the wall behind them recedes to reveal a rocky field for battle. Ash now has to choose a Gym Leader as his opponent: Chili and his {{type|Fire}} {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}, Cress and his {{type|Water}} {{TP|Cress|Panpour}} or Cilan and his {{type|Grass}} {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}. However, Ash decides to take on all three Gym Leaders. Although it is the first time the Gym has ever had such a request, the brothers allow Ash to do so, and his [[Badge]] will be earned by defeating two out of three Gym Leaders instead.


Arriving at a large, grand-looking building, Ash barges in and requests for a battle... only to find groups of people seated in tables at what seemed like a restaurant, all eyes fixed upon his questioning gaze. A [[Chili|red-haired]] and [[Cress|blue-haired]] waiter greet him, but Cilan reassures him by seating him at an empty table. The waiters then attempt to take his order, offering him {{DL|Drink|Soda Pop}}, a delicious lunch, and various other consumables, but Ash was not at all interested. Some girls at another table ask who Ash is, and they agree that he isn't very cool. Finally, after a long session of pestering, Ash loses his cool, and demands a Gym Battle by shouting. The various 'customers' (Ash notices they were all girls) in the restaurant all gathered upon hearing the words 'Gym Battle', while Ash, enraged, proceeds to take his leave.
The first battle is a one-on-one battle against Chili and his Pansear, while Cilan referees. Ash sends out his {{AP|Tepig}}, and starts the round with {{m|Tackle}}. Pansear is sent flying into the air, but lands softly on its feet. Chili calls for a {{m|Fire Punch}}, and with one quick blow, Tepig is sent rolling back onto the ground. Taking this opportunity to attack, Pansear follows up with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Quickly, Tepig uses {{m|Ember}} in an attempt to block the attack, but the Flamethrower hits its mark and sends dust into the air. Immediately, Pansear {{m|Dig}}s underground at its Trainer's behest, striking Tepig with a sneak attack. As the Fire Pig Pokémon struggles to get up, Chili has Pansear continue using Dig. Ash, at that instant, orders Tepig to keep running,. To combat its moving target, Pansear reappears in front of Tepig, causing him to trip and to be flung into the air. Using Dig once more, Pansear disappears underground. Ash orders Tepig to follow Pansear underground. As Pansear emerges, Tepig is biting onto its tail. Pansear performs a back-flip, but Tepig refuses to relinquish his bite on Pansear's tail. Tepig spins Pansear around by tail and tosses it across the field. While Pansear struggles to regain balance, Tepig uses another Ember and Tackles it into a wall, causing it to faint. Tepig runs back to Ash and rejoins him and his Pikachu. Cilan declares Pansear unable to battle, and the cheerleaders all sigh in disappointment. Chili [[recall]]s his Pansear, and Ash recalls Tepig as Cress steps up to battle.


Ash was walking towards the exit when the lights dimmed, and Cilan and the two waiters walked synchronously into an empty area, taking their positions. As a spotlight shone onto each of them, they briefly mentioned how they would battle, and revealed themselves, all three of them, to be [[Gym Leader]]s. Together, they recited 'It's showtime!', and the wall behind them receded, revealing a rocky field for battle.
The cheerleaders are now cheering on Cress and his Panpour. Ash chooses Pikachu for battle, and starts by telling him to do a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Panpour responds to Cress's command, surrounding Pikachu with its {{m|Double Team}} clones before landing a {{m|Scratch}} attack. As Pikachu lands on the ground, hurt, Cress comments on Pikachu's [[type]] advantage, which would not be very useful against ''his'' Panpour. He tells Panpour to use {{m|Water Gun}}. Pikachu swiftly dodges the jets of water aimed at him using the rocky battlefield. As Pikachu readies a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, Panpour aims its Water Gun at Pikachu's feet, causing him to lose focus as he tries to steady himself. Following that, it douses Pikachu with another Water Gun and follows up with multiple Scratch attacks. While the cheerleaders delight in hushed voices, Pikachu lies sprawled on the ground, struggling to get back on his feet. Ash commands Pikachu use {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and Cress starts contemplating; he had already developed strategies against {{type|Electric}} opponents. With a big smile and glowing hands, Panpour uses {{m|Mud Sport}}, causing Pikachu to slip in mud. Panpour launches a Water Gun attack and sends its opponent flying across the field once again, causing Pikachu to faint. Cilan declares Pikachu unable to battle, and the cheerleaders go wild with excitement.


Iris and the group of girls (who already changed into cheerleader outfits) proceeded to the top deck of the Gym. Meanwhile, Ash had to choose a Gym Leader as his opponent: [[Chili#In the anime|Chili]] and his {{type|Fire}}d {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}, {{DL|Cress|In the anime|Cress}} and his {{type|Water}}d {{TP|Cress|Panpour}} or {{an|Cilan}} and his {{type|Grass}}d {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}. Defeating his chosen opponent would earn him the {{Badge|Trio}}. However, Ash had an inspiration: he decides to battle all three Gym Leaders. Although it was the first time the Gym ever had such a request, they allowed Ash to do so, and his Badge would be earned by defeating two out of three Gym Leaders instead.
After arriving in Striaton City, the [[Team Rocket trio]] duck into the sewers to receive information of their next mission. Speaking via a monitor, {{an|Giovanni}} orders them to visit a former laboratory located at the nearby [[Dreamyard]], where they are to take control of the area’s mysterious ‘Future Energy'. He logs off and sends them the assembly instructions for the machine they need, while the Team Rocket trio, determined, now heads for the Dreamyard through the sewers.


The first battle was a one-on-one battle against Chili and his Pansear. Cilan was refereeing. While the girls were cheering for Chili, Ash sends out his {{AP|Tepig}}, clearly having decided to use Tepig for whichever his first battle was against. Starting the battle with {{m|Tackle}}, Tepig charged into Pansear and sent it flying into the air, but it landed softly on its feet. Chili commanded it to use {{m|Fire Punch}}, and with one quick blow, Tepig was sent rolling back onto the ground. Taking this opportunity to attack, Pansear followed up with {{m|Flamethrower}}, a streak of fire was sent streaming in Tepig's direction. Quickly, Tepig used {{m|Ember}} in attempt to block off the attack, but the smaller flecks of Ember was swallowed up by the oncoming Flamethrower. With a loud bang, the Flamethrower hit Tepig and whipped up the surrounding dust and sand, causing a cloud of particles to form.
For Ash's last battle at Striaton Gym, he sends out {{AP|Oshawott}} against Cilan's Pansage, and the choice surprises the onlookers. Oshawott looks over at its opponent and instantly retreats behind Ash’s legs to avoid facing Pansage’s menacing glare. Ash and Pikachu push him onto the field, reminding him of [[BW002|his heroism when he saved]] Pikachu and Axew from Team Rocket's captivity. After some thought, Oshawott promptly changes his mind and decides to fight for Ash. For a start, Oshawott attempts to use Tackle, but Pansage dodges it by shifting to the side, causing Oshawott to be extremely surprised at Pansage's non-aggressive response. Pansage fires a {{m|Bullet Seed}}, striking Oshawott’s back as he tries to flee. Cilan points out that Ash has lack of affinity with Oshawott. He tries to show the contrast with his Pansage, and tells his Pokémon to move towards Oshawott. As Pansage does so, Oshawott shivering in fear. Pansage Bites down on his head, leading Oshawott to walk into a rock as he tries to shake off his opponent. Ash tries to encourage Oshawott and tells him to use Water Gun, but the Grass Monkey Pokémon dodges the jets of water by repeatedly jumping, thereby causing Oshawott to feel tired from the effort. Ash pushes Oshawott on, telling him to aim carefully, yet none of the jets manage to hit Pansage. Finally, Oshawott's attacks connects. Cilan decides to intensify the battle, and calls for a  {{m|Solar Beam}}. Collecting a ball of light at the turf on his head, Pansage grabs it, pulls back and shoots it at Oshawott. As the light snakes its way across the field, Oshawott, now stunned, is shocked at the thought of what is to come.
 
Immediately, Pansear used {{m|Dig}} at its Trainer's behest; it flipped backwards and dug a hole into the ground. As the cloud started to disperse, Tepig started looking around for him opponent and found it: suddenly appearing right below his feet. Tepig was sent flying into the air, spinning and landed with a ''thud'' on his belly. As the Fire Pig Pokémon struggled to get up, the cheerleaders cheered Chili and Pansear on, and Ash warned Tepig to be more careful. Regardless, Chili told Pansear to continue using Dig. Ash, at that instant, told Tepig to keep running, hoping he could avoid getting hit from underneath. For a moment it seemed like it worked, Tepig kept running and Pansear dared not to surface, knowing it would be extremely difficult to hit a running target. However, Pansear chose to appear in front of Tepig, causing him to trip and to be flung into the air. Using Dig once more, Pansear disappeared into the hole it came from. As Tepig was soon told not to let Pansear escape, he dived and disappeared into the hole following Pansear.
 
Chili watched in shock and Pansear emerged, Tepig biting onto its tail. As Pansear attempted to free itself from Tepig's grasp, it quickly did a back-flip and landed onto the ground, causing Tepig to land together, but twice as hard. Even though Tepig seemed to have suffered quite a fair bit of damage from the flip, he still would not relinquish his bite on Pansear's tail, his teeth sunk into its flesh like a vice. As Ash encourages Tepig to carry on, the Fire Pig Pokémon quickly got up and started spinning Pansear wildly in a circle, like a giant ball spinning at the end of a long thread. Finally, when Pansear had gained enough speed for a decent throw, Tepig released the grip and flung it across the field.
 
While Pansear struggled to regain balance, Tepig doused it with flames from another Ember and rammed it all the way to the wall with a {{m|Tackle}} attack, causing it to faint. Tepig then runs back to Ash and rejoins him and his Pikachu. Cilan declares Pansear unable to battle, and the cheerleaders all sigh in disappointment. Chili recalls his Pansear, and Ash recalls Tepig. Cress then steps up to battle.
 
Meanwhile, the [[Team Rocket trio]], [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}, are walking along the streets of Striaton City, dressed in black overcoats. They were told to contact the Team Rocket Headquarters the moment they got there, at a specified time and place. As they walk towards the side of a dark alley, they made a turn into it and squatted near a drain cover, pleased at being punctual.
 
The cheerleaders are now cheering on Cress and his Panpour. Ash chooses Pikachu for battle, and starts by telling him to do a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Panpour responds to Cress's command, creating multiple copies of itself: a {{m|Double Team}} attack. Pikachu passes through one of the clones of Panpour, and as it was doing so, Panpour and all its clones launched a {{m|Scratch}} attack in mid-air, its speed matching Pikachu's. As Pikachu lands on the ground, hurt, Cress comments on Pikachu's type advantage, which would not be very useful against ''his'' Panpour. He then tells Panpour to use {{m|Water Gun}}.
 
Pikachu swiftly dodges the jets of water aimed at him, jumping backwards and sideways on the rocks in the field. As Pikachu readies a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, Panpour aims its Water Gun at Pikachu's feet, causing him to lose focus as he tries to steady himself. Following that, it aims another Water Gun at Pikachu and it hit, sending Pikachu flying... In an instant, Panpour caught up with Pikachu in mid-air and hit Pikachu with multiple Scratch attacks. While the cheerleaders delight in hushed voices, Pikachu lies sprawled on the ground, struggling to get back on his feet.
 
Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and Cress starts contemplating; he had already developed strategies against {{type|Electric}}d opponents. With a big smile and glowing hands, Panpour pummels the ground, causing a lane of mud to form in Pikachu's direction. As Pikachu slips and falls onto the mud created by {{m|Mud Sport}}, Panpour launches a Water Gun attack and sends him flying across the field once again, eventually causing Pikachu to faint. Cilan declares Pikachu unable to battle, and the cheerleaders go wild with excitement.
 
Meanwhile, the Team Rocket trio are at the bottom of the sewers talking to {{an|Giovanni}}. As they were told to proceed to the [[Dreamyard]], a place where 'the Future Energy' is produced, he reminds them about Team Rocket's goals and explains the importance of the mission. He logs off and sends them the assembly instructions for the machine they need, while the Team Rocket trio, determined, now heads for the Dreamyard through the sewers.
 
For Ash's last battle at Striaton Gym, he sends out {{AP|Oshawott}} against Cilan's Pansage, and the people watching him exclaim in surprise. Iris thought that it would be better if {{AP|Pidove|Tranquill}} was sent out, Cress had no clue as to why Ash made such a decision, and Oshawott, which opened his eyes and finally realized who his opponent was, decides to be a supporter to whichever Pokémon Ash would hopefully send out, and stood behind his Trainer. As Oshawott tries to avoid battling, Ash and Pikachu push him into the field, reminding him how strong and brave he was when he saved Pikachu and Axew from Team Rocket's captivity. After much reconciliation, Oshawott promptly changes his mind and decides to fight for Ash.
 
For a start, Oshawott attempts to use Tackle, but Pansage dodges it by shifting to the side, causing Oshawott to be extremely surprised at Pansage's non-aggressive response. Pansage then fires a flurry of seeds from his mouth at Oshawott, and Oshawott tries in desperation to avoid the attack by running away. As Oshawott lies on the ground, his back swollen at the area where the {{m|Bullet Seed}} attack hit, Cilan talks about Ash's lack of affinity with Oshawott. He then tries to show the contrast with his Pansage, and tells his Pokémon to move closer towards Oshawott.
 
As Pansage did so, Oshawott squealed in fear, seemingly looking at something revolting or disgusting. Pansage then started {{m|Bite|Biting}} his head, and as the Sea Otter Pokémon ran up and down, arms flailing and tail wriggling, trying to shake his opponent off his head, he was not able to see clearly and hit a rock, while Pansage jumped off and landed on another rock further away. Ash tries to encourage Oshawott and tells him to use Water Gun, but the Grass Monkey Pokémon dodges the jets of water by repeatedly jumping and leaping, thereby causing Oshawott to feel tired after consuming a lot of effort and energy. Ash pushes Oshawott on, telling him to aim carefully, yet none of the jets managed to hit Pansage. Finally, it seemed like it was the opportune moment when Pansage made a leap greater than he did, and with a precisely and carefully aimed shot, Pansage was hit in mid-air. Oshawott was elated.
 
However, that did not seem to be the end. Cilan had decided to intensify the battle by asking Pansage to collect energy from the sunlight above, and the cheerleaders thereafter became much more excited. As Iris now became worried, Cilan announces the name of the attack: {{m|SolarBeam}}! Collecting a ball of light at the turf on his head, Pansage grabs it, pulls back and shot it at Oshawott. As the light snakes its way across the field, Oshawott, now stunned, is shocked at the thought of what is to come. What would happen to Oshawott and will Ash be able to obtain the Trio Badge?

Blurb

After arriving in Striaton City, Ash’s first priority is to battle for his first Gym Badge in the Unova region! But when he arrives at the Striaton Gym, Ash is surprised to discover that there are, in fact, three Gym Leaders: a trio of brothers named Cilan, Chili, and Cress. The Gym Leaders tell Ash he can choose one of them to battle, but that isn’t enough for Ash—he wants to challenge all three! They accept, and the triple match is under way.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has also arrived in Striaton City with a new assignment: finding the remains of a research facility somewhere in the area. Once there, they must collect a mysterious substance their boss calls “future energy,” which has the power to turn dreams into reality. Knowing that they are the only ones who can handle this tough mission, Jessie, James, and Meowth proceed with excitement and confidence!

Back at the Striation City Gym, Ash manages to win the first round, pitting his Tepig against Chili’s Pansear. But he and Pikachu suffer defeat in the second match against Cress’s Panpour. It’s down to the deciding match, and Ash chooses Oshawott to go up against Cilan’s Pansage—an unfavorable matchup that has Iris worried. Can our hero overcome the disadvantage to claim his first Gym Badge?

Plot

Ash and Pikachu have finally arrived in Striaton City. As enthusiastic and ready as he was to battle, he soon realizes that he does not know where the Gym is located. Iris comments on Ash's behavior: typical of a 'small child', and gives a wide grin. As Axew appears from within her hair and she feeds him with some fruit, a formally-dressed young man with green hair appears, his green eyes having taken notice of Axew. He recites a short prose complimenting Axew, and then talks about the positive compatibility between Iris and her Pokémon. As Pikachu watches in doubt, he makes a sound that captures the young man's attention. Ash explains that he is from Kanto, the young man introduces himself as Cilan, a Pokémon Connoisseur. Ash is confused as to what that is, and Iris goes on to call Ash a little kid. Cilan assures Iris that the job is not well known outside of Unova, and he explains that Pokémon Connoisseur can judge the friendship between a Trainer and their Pokémon. Ash becomes very interested and requests Cilan to examine his bond with Pikachu. However, at that moment, Iris reminds Ash about his purpose in Striaton City, and Cilan, who happened to know where the Striaton Gym is, lead the way.

Arriving at a large, grand-looking building, Ash barges in and requests a battle, only what seems like a restaurant. As the waiters, Chili and Cress greet them, Cilan reassures Ash by seating him at an empty table. The waiters attempt to take his order, offering him Soda Pop, a delicious lunch, and various other consumables, but Ash is not at all interested. Finally, after a long session of pestering, Ash loses his cool, and demands a Gym Battle by shouting. Ash, enraged, proceeds to take his leave when the lights suddenly dim. He turns to see Cilan and the two waiters walking synchronously into an empty area, taking their positions. As a spotlight shines onto each of them, they briefly mentioned how they would battle, and reveal themselves to be brothers and the Striaton Gym Leaders. Together, they recite 'It's showtime!', and the wall behind them recedes to reveal a rocky field for battle. Ash now has to choose a Gym Leader as his opponent: Chili and his Fire-type Pansear, Cress and his Water-type Panpour or Cilan and his Grass-type Pansage. However, Ash decides to take on all three Gym Leaders. Although it is the first time the Gym has ever had such a request, the brothers allow Ash to do so, and his Badge will be earned by defeating two out of three Gym Leaders instead.

The first battle is a one-on-one battle against Chili and his Pansear, while Cilan referees. Ash sends out his Tepig, and starts the round with Tackle. Pansear is sent flying into the air, but lands softly on its feet. Chili calls for a Fire Punch, and with one quick blow, Tepig is sent rolling back onto the ground. Taking this opportunity to attack, Pansear follows up with Flamethrower. Quickly, Tepig uses Ember in an attempt to block the attack, but the Flamethrower hits its mark and sends dust into the air. Immediately, Pansear Digs underground at its Trainer's behest, striking Tepig with a sneak attack. As the Fire Pig Pokémon struggles to get up, Chili has Pansear continue using Dig. Ash, at that instant, orders Tepig to keep running,. To combat its moving target, Pansear reappears in front of Tepig, causing him to trip and to be flung into the air. Using Dig once more, Pansear disappears underground. Ash orders Tepig to follow Pansear underground. As Pansear emerges, Tepig is biting onto its tail. Pansear performs a back-flip, but Tepig refuses to relinquish his bite on Pansear's tail. Tepig spins Pansear around by tail and tosses it across the field. While Pansear struggles to regain balance, Tepig uses another Ember and Tackles it into a wall, causing it to faint. Tepig runs back to Ash and rejoins him and his Pikachu. Cilan declares Pansear unable to battle, and the cheerleaders all sigh in disappointment. Chili recalls his Pansear, and Ash recalls Tepig as Cress steps up to battle.

The cheerleaders are now cheering on Cress and his Panpour. Ash chooses Pikachu for battle, and starts by telling him to do a Quick Attack. Panpour responds to Cress's command, surrounding Pikachu with its Double Team clones before landing a Scratch attack. As Pikachu lands on the ground, hurt, Cress comments on Pikachu's type advantage, which would not be very useful against his Panpour. He tells Panpour to use Water Gun. Pikachu swiftly dodges the jets of water aimed at him using the rocky battlefield. As Pikachu readies a Thunderbolt attack, Panpour aims its Water Gun at Pikachu's feet, causing him to lose focus as he tries to steady himself. Following that, it douses Pikachu with another Water Gun and follows up with multiple Scratch attacks. While the cheerleaders delight in hushed voices, Pikachu lies sprawled on the ground, struggling to get back on his feet. Ash commands Pikachu use Volt Tackle, and Cress starts contemplating; he had already developed strategies against Electric-type opponents. With a big smile and glowing hands, Panpour uses Mud Sport, causing Pikachu to slip in mud. Panpour launches a Water Gun attack and sends its opponent flying across the field once again, causing Pikachu to faint. Cilan declares Pikachu unable to battle, and the cheerleaders go wild with excitement.

After arriving in Striaton City, the Team Rocket trio duck into the sewers to receive information of their next mission. Speaking via a monitor, Giovanni orders them to visit a former laboratory located at the nearby Dreamyard, where they are to take control of the area’s mysterious ‘Future Energy'. He logs off and sends them the assembly instructions for the machine they need, while the Team Rocket trio, determined, now heads for the Dreamyard through the sewers.

For Ash's last battle at Striaton Gym, he sends out Oshawott against Cilan's Pansage, and the choice surprises the onlookers. Oshawott looks over at its opponent and instantly retreats behind Ash’s legs to avoid facing Pansage’s menacing glare. Ash and Pikachu push him onto the field, reminding him of his heroism when he saved Pikachu and Axew from Team Rocket's captivity. After some thought, Oshawott promptly changes his mind and decides to fight for Ash. For a start, Oshawott attempts to use Tackle, but Pansage dodges it by shifting to the side, causing Oshawott to be extremely surprised at Pansage's non-aggressive response. Pansage fires a Bullet Seed, striking Oshawott’s back as he tries to flee. Cilan points out that Ash has lack of affinity with Oshawott. He tries to show the contrast with his Pansage, and tells his Pokémon to move towards Oshawott. As Pansage does so, Oshawott shivering in fear. Pansage Bites down on his head, leading Oshawott to walk into a rock as he tries to shake off his opponent. Ash tries to encourage Oshawott and tells him to use Water Gun, but the Grass Monkey Pokémon dodges the jets of water by repeatedly jumping, thereby causing Oshawott to feel tired from the effort. Ash pushes Oshawott on, telling him to aim carefully, yet none of the jets manage to hit Pansage. Finally, Oshawott's attacks connects. Cilan decides to intensify the battle, and calls for a Solar Beam. Collecting a ball of light at the turf on his head, Pansage grabs it, pulls back and shoots it at Oshawott. As the light snakes its way across the field, Oshawott, now stunned, is shocked at the thought of what is to come.

Trivia

Errors

Pansear's red arms
  • When Cilan sits Ash down on his table, his bag of groceries disappears.
  • When Tepig is spinning Pansear around by its tail, Pansear's arms briefly turn red.
  • In the English dub, Giovanni refers to the Dreamyard as the "Dream Site", a possible translation of its Japanese name.
  • In the Chinese dub, Pansear's Chinese name is mistakenly written as 炎爆猴 Yánbàohóu (lit. Flame-bursting monkey) in the subtitles of the trailer.

Dub edits

  • In the English dub, while they are cheering before and during the battle, the cheerleaders cheer for Chili. In the original Japanese version, they cheer for both Chili and Pansear.
  • In the English dub, Giovanni wants Team Rocket to gain complete control of the energy at the Dreamyard. In the original Japanese version, he wants them to look for clues about the new dream energy.
  • In the English dub, Ash yells out Pikachu's name when Pikachu gets hit by Panpour's first Scratch, while in the Japanese version, he just gasps.
