from the kanto region
[Music]
our chateau provides a fulfilling battle
experience and serves as a meeting place
for all the many trainers who visit here
ash this place sounds perfect for you
yeah
now the first thing to know is all
trainers at the battle chateau are
referred to as knights
knights what an appropriate title for
trainers battling at a castle
true then each and every night has a
noble title bestowed upon them that is
based on the grand total of their battle
chateau victories i wish you the best of
luck in earning your highest possible
noble title
allow me to show you the battle chateau
sitting room
each time you visit here this is where
you’ll be choosing a battling adversary
ladies and gentlemen i have the distinct
honor to present baron nico
[Music]
wow
so everybody here is a knight right this
is a great place to hang out with other
trainers trade stories and information
and also look for an opponent yeah so
you battle who you want not exactly
there’s a catch you have to be the same
noble title
what’s that guy doing up there
wow who is he anyway oh yeah that guy’s
name is grant he’s always climbing walls
yeah he’s really strong strong huh
[Music]
any barons here who would be willing to
accept a battle challenge from me
i’ll accept your challenge
my name is baron farrow how do you do
it’s a pleasure to meet you i’m looking
forward to our battle
[Music]
all right nico and farrell please
proceed to the battlefield
all other knights may watch the battle
from the outside terrace
[Music]
hey that’s ash
check out the cape so cool it’s a
tradition huh the atmosphere here is
quite different from a pokemon gym true
the battle chateau was founded on the
principles of a night’s duel the aim is
to elevate pokemon battles through the
spirit of chivalry it became much more
than two powerful trainers simply
battling along with their greatest
pokemon in a clash of moves a battle
culture that held civility in high
regard was born
nowadays
gym battles have become the mainstream
but many people enjoy the battle chateau
as something they can only experience in
the carlos region
wearing those capes is so awesome yeah
white capes are worn only by barons
so how many noble titles are there
baron is the first noble title then
there’s vi count earl is number three
then there’s marquis number five is duke
and the highest title is grand duke wow
that’s a lot
[Music]
to a good battle to a good battle
the pokemon battle between baron nico
and baron farrell is about to commence
if baronico is victorious that will be
his 10th victory allowing him to ascend
to the noble title of vi count may you
both battle with spirit while observing
the night’s code of chivalry
legender come on out
[Music]
dusk noir is said to travel between the
human and spirit worlds
nico will win
his fletchender is super powerful use
thunder punch
use flame charge go
those types are so scary they can
disappear and reappear electric type
moves are super effective against flying
types
[Music]
wow look at flushing or go awesome
that flame charge was powerful
right nico and fletchender trained
really hard for this battle
huh viola
hey there ash wow who would have thought
i’d be running into you what are you
doing here i love the chateau actually i
have the noble title of duchess duchess
it’s the second highest title see it’s
the female equivalent of duke
oh wow so you must have won a lot of
battles to be a duchess
that’s it
and bletchender is the winning pokemon
all right nico won that fletchender is
strong now that nico has ten victories
his noble title will change he goes from
the noble title of baron to the title of
vi count excellent we applaud the two
gifted knights and their pokemon for
their valiant battle
what was that
not again
grant once more
i’m afraid i just couldn’t help but
applaud
it was to show my respect for such a
brilliant battle but grant
if you felt that way why didn’t you come
down first because the wall refuses to
let me go the walls here are so smooth
they’re irresistible
they draw me to them
you do see the delicate beauty of the
battle chateau’s walls don’t you viola
talk about their beauty all you want but
i’ll never understand the appeal of
walls so you know this guy viola his
name is grant he’s never seen a wall
around here he didn’t love also he’s
strong
they told me the rules i’d like to
battle you so i was wondering what your
title is
my noble title is duke duke is the
second highest title you can get now
then huh huh let us proceed to the debut
battle involving the two knights who
have come here for the first time today
new knights yeah turner’s talking about
us
who’s that pokemon
it’s fletchender
[Music]
please give the knights who are about to
have their first battle at the battle
chateau a round of applause
so you say you battled against ash
before he’s a gutsy trainer that’s for
sure as are his pokemon they’re quite
amazing once you see his passion and
drive i’m sure you’ll agree
ash and chester whoever wins this first
battle will then be awarded the noble
title of baron right well i’ve been
training long and hard for this day i’m
gonna win then let’s get underway
to a good battle oh yeah
to a good battle
[Music]
okay pikachu get in there
hold on what was in ash’s pokeball you
see that’s pikachu’s pokeball pikachu
doesn’t like being inside it so it stays
out
yeah this is our first battle here i
want to win it with you
and my pokemon is fletchling
fletchling’s a flying type we’ve been
training right alongside niko’s
fletchender it’ll be able to take
anything you try now let the battle
begin all right use thunderbolts
agility
[Music]
ash is starting off strong perhaps
although flying type pokemon are weak
against electric type moves it doesn’t
mean anything if those moves don’t
connect
strength can only take you so far
use feather dance
what’s going on we just lowered
pikachu’s attack power
now steel wings
[Music]
we won’t lose iron tail let’s go
pikachu’s iron tail is weaker than it
normally is feather dance is an amazing
move ash and pikachu do it fletchling
your steel wings
use iron tail one more time
but pikachu’s attack power is down if
one hit isn’t enough we’ll just hit a
bunch of times
you know you were right about ash’s
strength see
with the strength to deal with adversity
looks like this battle’s already over
now check out pikachu’s thunderbolt
oh no
that’s it and pikachu is the winning
pokemon
[Music]
thank you very much
i knew you’d win it pikachu
you were strong too fletchling thanks
for working so hard chester lost there’s
always next time yeah he’ll just have to
train with me more today’s loss is
tomorrow’s win

title of baron congratulations

it’s cerskin
onyx you’re out
wow it’s huge onyx that’s a rock type
it’s amazing
[Music]
onyx the rock snake pokemon onyx takes
in enormous amounts of soil through its
mouth creating long tunnels
begin
use ice beams
[Music]
i thought you’d be using that strategy
speed may be one of your specialties but
i’ll stop you in your traps use rock
tune
yeah my sur skate won’t be stopped as
easily as you think go
what’s going on with that rock tomb it’s
controlling the boulders grant must have
trained hard to do that he’s obviously
no ordinary trainer
you dodged that well
now you signal
[Music]
use flash cannon
now get closer
rock polish
it’s getting faster onyx is out
maneuvering sir skin just like a duke’s
pokemon off the charts your power and
speed have improved tremendously you’re
too kind use ice beams
[Music]
what a jump now use rock tune
it’s over use flash canon
[Applause]
that’s it onix is the winning pokemon
skit you were wonderful
[Music]
you battled well
you win and you’re a grand duke now well
it’s all because of onix’s hard work
onyx earned it and gets all the credit
awesome
that rock tomb was totally
incredible
not just that its moves combined with
its ease of getting around make it
unbelievable and strong too they’re in a
league of their own i never would have
guessed
grant
huh
that battle was the best ever i want to
raise my title just so i can battle you
someday me too now i’ve got one more
goal i lost today but tomorrow i’ll win
it’s a tough climb but i’ll be here
oh yes
so i’ve been told that you’re
challenging several gyms that’s right
then we’ll probably be seeing each other
at the gym first before we battle back
here huh you see grant’s the selage city
gym leader
you’re the selaze gym leader
the one ash is going to challenge next
that’s why you’re so strong two gym
leaders battling each other wow you used
onyx so that means your gym is a rock
type gym uh you’re exactly right
rock type huh
you know your pikachu is quite strong
i’ll be looking forward to the day you
come and challenge me at the salaj gym

until then
you’ll need to come up with a strategy
that can counter the powerful rock tomb
