all right mr confidence bring it
wow looks like a real rivalry
[Music]
quicker and more precise with increased
concentration
let’s have a great battle mean foo
ash is having so much fun that’s true
but i wonder how useful that rhythmic
battle style will be
you’re worried that ash can’t dance
right as soon as ash saw karina he
stopped trying to perfect his rhythmic
battle style from that point on you
could say karina got ash completely off
his game huh
stop hey whose side are you on anyway
bonnie the real action in a gym battle
begins from the very moment a trainer
challenges a gym hallucia i choose you
i knew he’d go with hallucia good luck
to both of you key for key
gym battle begin all right then ass show
me what you’ve got
don’t disappoint us karina
let’s get our shiller gym strategy
rolling
[Music]
hualucha’s rhythm
that’s awesome halucha way to go yep
there you go with that mysterious rhythm
but now what are you gonna do with it
high jump kick use your rhythm to dodge
it
[Applause]
let’s keep up the pressure use train
punch let’s go
use your rhythm to block
hang in there and use karate shot
deflect it with a kick
[Music]
it doesn’t look like halucha can do
anything what’s going on tierno’s
squirtle was just fine it had no problem
moving around
[Music]
so come on and surprise us some more ash

like this no like this this
sorry you’ve got no sense of rhythm at
all oh
i know this can’t be easy for you you
can say that again you know i guess
you’ve just got your own unique sense of
rhythm
really my own
serena was right i’m not gonna be able
to win this thing by copying tierno
vega
thanks pikachu you don’t have to dance
anymore
that rhythmic battle style worked
because tierno was doing it but we’ve
got our own unique rhythm
dancing may be tierno style but it’s not
mine okay let’s do this we’ll show them
our own unique battling style oh
lucha
you honestly think you can just change
your strategy mid-battle yeah hallucia
knows what to do for sure
i just don’t get it
you’re not gonna win like that let’s
crash this up with high jump kick
not yet draw it in
go for it
yes ash decided to drop the rhythmic
battle style wow that was a perfect
dodge and when a high jump kick misses
the attacker ends up getting hurt now
karate chop let’s go
[Applause]
nope use force palm use flying for us
[Applause]
[Music]
yes
as soon as ash started using his own
style everything turned around ash i
know you can do this there you go one

point we’ll do it for halucha and
fletchender okay pikachu i choose you
pikachu huh finally
no matter who the opponent is whenever
they move they leave an opening
now keep a sharp eye on all of meg
lucario’s movements huh we know that
pikachu’s never defeated lucario before
how will pikachu handle an even more
powerful mega lucario
[Music]
why isn’t anybody moving because both
pikachu and lucario know that they can’t
afford to lose this round they’re trying
to be extra careful this is going to be
a true battle of wills i’ve never seen
anything like this before
and i’ve never been so nervous
all right pikachu use quick attack
ash is making his move what about mega
lucario
draw pikachu
all right electro ball let’s go
[Music]
pikachu thunderbolt let’s go
a thunderbolt after getting hit that’s
our unique battle style
[Music]

pikachu can you get up
[Music]
looking good ash and pikachu
that’s because i’m gonna win that badge
metal sound
pikachu use thunderbolt and wipe out
that metal sounds
[Music]
[Applause]
some power play
or a sphere pikachu gets hit after that
metal sound
pikachu use iron tail and knock down
that orosphere
look at that what was it remember from
the saliva
draco meteor climb
how is that even possible
jump lucario use bone rush
iron tail let’s go
that’s incredible lucario took the hit
from iron tail before it reached full
speed and doing that kept the damage it
took to a minimum ash and pikachu you’re
amazing using our move like a
springboard to make a super high jump i
thought that would be enough to wrap
this up you’re a tough one karina but it
is almost time to wrap this up use power
up punch
[Music]
go
[Applause]
finish this with thunderballs
[Music]
hmm
lucario is unable to battle pikachu wins
