Synopsis
The time has finally come for Ash's fourth Gym Battle in the Johto League. In the Ecruteak Gym, he must face Morty and his team of powerful Template:Type2 Pokémon. But Ash has already been witness to Morty’s Gengar and been stunned by the Pokémon’s power. As Ash muses over battle strategies, Nurse Joy overhears and suggests he uses his Noctowl. Does he have a chance against a whole team of such powerful Pokémon phantoms?
The battle begins with Morty calling out Gastly to Ash's Noctowl. Brock and Misty wonder why he has called Noctowl to fight first. Ash, however, is confident in his choice. Ash has Noctowl begin with hypnosis. Gastly dodges, disappearing in the process. Morty has Gastly use Confusion, which bothers Noctowl. In response, Noctowl uses Foresight. The move finds Gastly. Ash then has Noctowl attempt to tackle Gastly, but Gastly remains too fast. After a chase, Noctowl uses Hypnosis, but it fails. Gastly uses Lick as a whip, hitting Noctowl. Ash returns Noctowl to its Poké Ball.
Now having seen Gastly's power, Ash picks Pikachu as his second choice. Pikachu uses quick attack to start off. The attack hits Gastly. Pikachu uses thunderbolt. Gastly dodges and uses Night Shade. It hits, and Pikachu is unable to battle.
Cyndaquil is his next choice. It starts with Flamethrower to Night Shade. Cyndaquil dodges with quick attack. Gastly uses Lick to Cyndaquil's Tackle. Cyndaquil climbs on to Gastly's tongue and tackles Gastly, defeating it.
For Morty's second choice, he picks Haunter. Cyndaquil starts with Flamethrower. Haunter disappears then uses Mean look to make Ash stick with Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil uses swift, hurting Haunter. Haunter uses Hypnosis. Cyndaquil counters with Smokescreen. Haunter grabs cyndaquil and then licks it, ending Cyndaquil's battle. Ash is down to one Pokémon.
Noctowl comes back out. Noctowl uses Foresight. Haunter tries Lick and then Confuse Ray. The battle looks over. Haunter uses Night Shade. Noctowl uses Tackle. The two attacks collide making Noctowl the winner.
Noctowl learns Confusion. Gengar comes out. Gengar uses Shadow Ball to Confusion. Gengar disappears and starts using Night Shade. Ash has Noctowl use Confusion through the building to find Gengar then uses Tackle. Gengar is unable to battle. Ash wins.
Ash gets the badge and he continues on his journey.
