==Synopsis==
==Blurb==
{{Ash}} and the {{ashfr}} are awaiting the matchups for the second round of the {{DL|Ever Grande Conference|Ever Grande Hoenn League}}. [[Nurse Joy]] explains that this round's battles are [[double battles]] and that three wins are required to advance.
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/08_34-from-brags-to-riches/-->
<i>The preliminaries are over, and now the Hoenn League Championships begin in earnest! The qualifying round is all double battles, and Ash goes to watch Morrison's match against muscleman Gavin. Morrison's Growlithe and Gligar are up against Marowak and Machamp, and no punches are pulled in this all-out battle! It's not looking good for Morrison until Gligar uses Guillotine to knock Machamp out. But Marowak defeats Growlithe, and Gligar finally wins.


The schedule is then shown on a screen and Ash and [[Morrison]] would be battling on that day. Both are bickering on who is stronger but Morrison leaves since his battle is earlier. Soon, Morrison's battle begins and he faces off against [[Gavin]]. He sends out {{TP|Morrison|Growlithe}} and {{TP|Morrison|Gligar}} and Gavin sends out {{DL|Gavin|Pokémon|Marowak}} and {{DL|Gavin|Pokémon|Machamp}}.
Ash is jogging along after the match, minding his own business, when he falls into another Team Rocket pit trap. But just as they finish their motto, their new boss catches them in the act and shouts at them to get back to work. Team Rocket runs away and Ash wonders what's going on, but not for long—he's up next in the qualifying round!


Morrison orders Growlithe to use {{m|Take Down}} on Marowak who evades and uses {{m|Headbutt}}. Gligar uses {{m|Guillotine}} on Machamp and Machamp uses {{m|Karate Chop}}. Growlithe suffers damage from Marowak's {{m|Headbutt}} but regains strength and uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, but Marowak's {{m|Bone Club}} blocks it. Gligar is hit by a {{m|DynamicPunch}} and then a {{m|Cross Chop}}. Machamp is badly struck by Gligar's {{m|Steel Wing}} and Growlithe takes damage from a {{m|Bonemerang}} attack. Marowak charges into a Flamethrower and slams a Headbutt on Growlithe. Marowak freezes Growlithe's legs with an {{m|Ice Beam}} and then hit it with a Bone Club.
Ash sends out Torkoal and Corphish. His opponent Dominic sends out Swalot and Tropius, which may grant him an aerial advantage. But Ash's trusty Torkoal gives it all it's got, and takes down Tropius in a double KO. As for Swalot, its resilient body resists Corphish's attacks. Finally Corphish charges in, throws Swalot, and gets up close and personal to deliver a Bubble Beam that knocks its opponent out! Tyson has also won his first match, and now our Trainers move on to round 2!</i>

{{Ash}} and the {{ashfr}} are awaiting the matchups for the second round of the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. [[Nurse Joy]] explains that this round's battles are [[Double Battle]]s and that three wins are required to advance.

Soon, Morrison's battle begins and he faces off against [[Gavin]]. He sends out {{p|Growlithe}} and {{p|Gligar}} and Gavin sends out {{p|Marowak}} and {{p|Machamp}}.

Marowak charges into a Flamethrower and slams a Headbutt on Growlithe. Marowak freezes Growlithe's legs with an {{m|Ice Beam}} and then hit it with a Bone Club.


Machamp hits Gligar with a {{m|Vital Throw}} but Gligar counters with Guillotine. A weak Machamp is then struck several times by Gligar's {{m|Steel Wing}}, who then defeats Machamp with another Guillotine. Gavin is left with his Marowak against Gligar and Growlithe. Marowak dodges Growlithe's Flamethrower and slams a Bone Club on it, knocking it out. The battle is now one-on-one. Gligar's Guillotine and Marowak's Headbutt collide sending both flying. Marowak freezes one of Gligar's wings who slams into the ground. After struggling from a Bone Club, Gligar hits Marowak with an {{m|Iron Tail}} sending it flying. Morrison is then declared the winner.

Later that day, Ash is seen running with {{AP|Pikachu}}, but then he falls into a hole. He looks up and {{TRT}} appear. As they are about to recite their motto, their employer bursts through the wall and sends them running. Ash is then seen in the battlefield with his opponent [[Dominick]]. Ash chooses {{AP|Torkoal}} and {{AP|Corphish}} while Dominick sends out {{DL|Dominick|Pokémon|Tropius}} and {{DL|Dominick|Pokémon|Swalot}}. Tropius starts off by flying up in the air and whips a {{m|Razor Leaf}} at Ash. Torkoal's and Corphish's defense block the attack. Tropius' {{m|Bullet Seed}} seems futile against Torkoal's {{m|Iron Defense}}. Swalot hits Corphish with a {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and Tropius' {{m|Gust}} send Torkoal flying, but Torkoal uses Flamethrower on Tropius. Tropius dodges the {{m|Flamethrower}} and Corphish dodges Swalot's {{m|Body Slam}}. Swalot seems to be a tough opponent since most of the attacks slip or bounce off its body. This happens when Corphish launches a {{m|BubbleBeam}}.

Seeing this as a good attack, Ash tells Corphish to release BubbleBeam in Swalot's mouth. The bubbles explode and after the dust settles, Swalot faints. Ash wins and qualifies to the next round.

Blurb

The preliminaries are over, and now the Hoenn League Championships begin in earnest! The qualifying round is all double battles, and Ash goes to watch Morrison's match against muscleman Gavin. Morrison's Growlithe and Gligar are up against Marowak and Machamp, and no punches are pulled in this all-out battle! It's not looking good for Morrison until Gligar uses Guillotine to knock Machamp out. But Marowak defeats Growlithe, and Gligar finally wins.

Ash is jogging along after the match, minding his own business, when he falls into another Team Rocket pit trap. But just as they finish their motto, their new boss catches them in the act and shouts at them to get back to work. Team Rocket runs away and Ash wonders what's going on, but not for long—he's up next in the qualifying round!

Ash sends out Torkoal and Corphish. His opponent Dominic sends out Swalot and Tropius, which may grant him an aerial advantage. But Ash's trusty Torkoal gives it all it's got, and takes down Tropius in a double KO. As for Swalot, its resilient body resists Corphish's attacks. Finally Corphish charges in, throws Swalot, and gets up close and personal to deliver a Bubble Beam that knocks its opponent out! Tyson has also won his first match, and now our Trainers move on to round 2!

Plot

Ash and the his friends are awaiting the matchups for the second round of the Ever Grande Conference. Nurse Joy explains that this round's battles are Double Battles and that three wins are required to advance.

The schedule is then shown on a screen and Ash and Morrison would be battling on that day. Both are bickering on who is stronger but Morrison leaves since his battle is earlier. Soon, Morrison's battle begins and he faces off against Gavin. He sends out Growlithe and Gligar and Gavin sends out Marowak and Machamp.

Morrison orders Growlithe to use Take Down on Marowak who evades and uses Headbutt. Gligar uses Guillotine on Machamp and Machamp uses Karate Chop. Growlithe suffers damage from Marowak's Headbutt but regains strength and uses Flamethrower, but Marowak's Bone Club blocks it. Gligar is hit by a Dynamic Punch and then a Cross Chop. Machamp is badly struck by Gligar's Steel Wing and Growlithe takes damage from a Bonemerang attack. Marowak charges into a Flamethrower and slams a Headbutt on Growlithe. Marowak freezes Growlithe's legs with an Ice Beam and then hit it with a Bone Club.

Machamp hits Gligar with a Vital Throw but Gligar counters with Guillotine. A weak Machamp is then struck several times by Gligar's Steel Wing, who then defeats Machamp with another Guillotine. Gavin is left with his Marowak against Gligar and Growlithe. Marowak dodges Growlithe's Flamethrower and slams a Bone Club on it, knocking it out. The battle is now one-on-one. Gligar's Guillotine and Marowak's Headbutt collide sending both flying. Marowak freezes one of Gligar's wings who slams into the ground. After struggling from a Bone Club, Gligar hits Marowak with an Iron Tail sending it flying. Morrison is then declared the winner.

As they are about to recite their motto, their employer bursts through the wall and sends them running. Ash is then seen in the battlefield with his opponent Dominick. Ash chooses Torkoal and Corphish while Dominick sends out Tropius and Swalot. Tropius starts off by flying up in the air and whips a Razor Leaf at Ash. Torkoal's and Corphish's defense block the attack. Tropius's Bullet Seed seems futile against Torkoal's Iron Defense. Swalot hits Corphish with a Sludge Bomb and Tropius's Gust send Torkoal flying, but Torkoal uses Flamethrower on Tropius. Tropius dodges the Flamethrower and Corphish dodges Swalot's Body Slam. Swalot seems to be a tough opponent since most of the attacks slip or bounce off its body. This happens when Corphish launches a Bubble Beam.
