(Japanese: 激闘フルバトル!サトシ対シンジ!! Intense Fighting Full Battle! Satoshi vs Shinji!!) is the 187th episode of the Diamond & Pearl series, and the 653rd episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on August 12, 2010.
Synopsis
The intense battle between Ash and Paul continues! The battle continues from where it left off, Buizel locked in Drapion's tail. Buizel tries to use SonicBoom with his free tail, but Drapion just grabs his tail with a free arm, rendering Buizel's tail useless. Ash instructs Buizel to puff up the life preserver object on his neck and then let the air out in an instant. After freeing himself, Buizel uses Water Gun to lift himself into the air, away from Drapion. With Buizel still in the air, Drapion uses Toxic Spikes, littering the field with them and poisoning Buizel. Drapion uses Pin Missile to finish off Buizel, thus leaving Ash with five Pokémon.
Ash then sends out Staraptor to battle Drapion next. Drapion uses Pin Missile, which Staraptor effectively dodges with its high speed, and then comes down with an Aerial Ace, which Drapion dodges at the last second, and captures Staraptor like it did Buizel. Drapion uses Cross Poison, on the trapped Staraptor, and then Drapion throws Staraptor onto the ground, poisoning it with the remnants of Toxic Spikes, thus knocking out Staraptor.
Ash then sends out Torterra next, and Torterra feels the effect of the Toxic Spikes instantaneously. Drapion uses Cross Poison on Torterra, and Torterra sends Drapion away with Energy Ball. Ash quickly attacks again with Leaf Storm, hitting Drapion again. Paul instructs Drapion to use Pin Missile to counter the Leaf Storm, which end up neutralizing each other. Torterra comes out of the smoke with a Rock Climb, but is grabbed by Drapion when he is just about to attack and uses Poison Fang on Torterra. Torterra uses Synthesis to gain back some energy and Drapion comes to attack with Pin Missile, again, hitting Torterra and knocking out Torterra, leaving Ash with three Pokémon.
Paul recalls Drapion; Ash sends out Gliscor and Paul sends out Ninjask, which uses Agility right from the start. Ash tells Gliscor to use Stone Edge, which is dodged by Ninjask, still using Agility. Ninjask comes in with a quick Fury Cutter, hitting Gliscor countless times. While falling, Gliscor regains lift and tries to use Fire Fang on Ninjask, but is unsuccessful and Gliscor falls into the field and gains the effect from the Toxic Spikes Drapion left. Ash recalls Gliscor and sends out Infernape, who got poisoned from the Toxic Spikes. Ash tells Infernape to use Dig and leave Paul and Ninjask wondering where it is. Infernape uses Flare Blitz underground, illuminating the entire field in a bright red and alleviating the Toxic Spikes. Paul tells Ninjask to use Giga Drain and begins to sap energy from Infernape. Infernape scrutinizes Ninjask's movements carefully and lands a successful Mach Punch, knocking out Ninjask. Ash and Paul are now tied with three Pokémon each that are able to battle.
Ash recalls Infernape and sends out Pikachu and Paul sends out Froslass. Froslass uses Hail, clouding the entire battlefield. Froslass's ability, Snow Cloak comes into effect. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to try and hit Froslass, the Hail obstructed the Thunderbolt from reaching her. Froslass uses Ice Shard, hitting Pikachu. Pikachu falls back and uses Volt Tackle, and goes right through Froslass without even hitting her. Froslass uses Ice Shard and Ash tells Pikachu to watch out and to use Iron Tail, destroying the Ice Shard and elevating Pikachu into the air. He uses Iron Tail again and finally lands an attack on Froslass, sending her flying into the ground. The Hail subsides and Froslass gets back up and uses Ice Beam, hitting Pikachu. Pikachu becomes encased in ice. Paul tells Froslass to use Ice Shard again, but Pikachu is one step ahead and uses Volt Tackle to escape the ice and hit Froslass before she can even release the Ice Shard, this causing her to faint.
Paul sends Drapion back out and Ash sends Gliscor back out. Drapion uses Pin Missile to start things off and Gliscor quickly dodges the attack. Gliscor uses Stone Edge and Drapion uses Cross Poison to neutralize the Stone Edge. Gliscor is shielded by the remnants of the neutralization of Stone Edge, he uses Giga Impact in the clouds and comes down to hit Drapion before he could use Poison Fang. Gliscor is found rolling around in the sky, safe from Drapion while he recharges from the Giga Impact. Draipon uses Pin Missile and Gliscor quickly dodges the attack like how Staraptor did earler, and uses X-Scissor while falling toward Drapion. The episode thus ends its second segment.
