==Plot==
==Plot==
[[Pummelo Island]] is now in sight. However, before {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive, they notice a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{m|fly}}ing around, which seems to be a {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}.
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} approach [[Pummelo Island]], they notice a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} flying around. Upon reaching the island, Ash registers himself for a {{pkmn|battle}} against the [[Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader|Supreme Gym Leader]] of the [[Orange League|Orange Crew]]. After having his [[Badge]]s verified, he is informed that his battle will be held the following morning and that it will be a [[Full Battle]]. Ash gets ready to start {{pkmn|training}}, but {{an|Misty}} tells him that he needs to know where the stadium is first. The assistant escorts Ash and his friends to [[Pummelo Stadium]] and the nearby [[Palace of Victory]], also known as the Orange League [[Hall of Fame]], where all victorious {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and Pokémon are immortalized. The trio notices the {{p|Dragonite}} statues decorating the Palace, and the attendant confirms that the Pokémon they saw earlier was indeed the {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} belonging to Supreme Gym Leader {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, who has gone undefeated for a long time because his Dragonite is too strong. Meanwhile, on the Pummelo Stadium battlefield, {{TRT}} appears to steal Drake's Dragonite. However, it uses a single {{m|Hyper Beam}}, which sends them blasting off.


On reaching the island, the first thing Ash does is register himself for a {{pkmn|battle}} against the {{OBP|Drake|Orange League|leader of the Orange Crew}}. After having his [[Badge]]s verified, he is told that his battle will be held on the following morning. Ash is also informed that the battle will be a [[full battle]] during which both he and the leader will each use all six of the Pokémon they have in their [[party]]. Ash is now ready to start training, but {{an|Misty}} tells him that first he needs to know where the stadium is. After being shown the stadium, (which is very hard to miss) Ash is shown the Hall of Fame where all victorious Trainers are immortalized. But no one has beaten the leader in a long time, and the reason why no one was able to beat the leader is because his {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} was too strong to be defeated.  
Ash gets ready to train, but finds that his {{AP|Snorlax}} won't wake up. Upon consulting [[Nurse Joy]], she states that Snorlax, who had just eaten, probably won't wake up for several days and will have to miss the Full Battle. Ash calls {{an|Professor Oak}}, who suggests using one of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his other Pokémon}} instead. {{AP|Kingler}}, {{AP|Muk}}, and one of his {{AP|Tauros}} turn up, and Ash decides to use Tauros due to the "beginner's luck" factor that won him [[EP075|his]] [[EP077|battles]] with Kingler and Muk back in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. Ash puts Snorlax's {{i|Poké Ball}} on the transporter and receives Tauros in return. Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] contemplate their humiliating defeat. A van drives past and informs everyone that a challenger has been found to battle the Supreme Gym Leader the next day. {{MTR}} suggests that they can get Dragonite when the challenger has weakened it.


The said leader is very disappointed about this. Though he doesn't have any time to dwell on it as {{TRT}} have turned up to steal his Dragonite. However, one {{m|Hyper Beam}} later and they are already blasting off.
The next morning, Ash arrives at Pummelo Stadium, ready to battle. After the customary handshake between Ash and Drake, the [[Battle judge|referee]] explains that the state of the field will change after one of them has three unconscious Pokémon. At that moment, the flat field disappears and is replaced by a rocky field with a pool in the middle. Outside, Team Rocket watches from one of the television screens, and they are amazed to learn that Ash is the challenger.


Ash is now ready to get into training. But there is a problem... {{AP|Snorlax}} won't wake up. On consulting [[Nurse Joy]], she states that Snorlax probably won't wake up for several days. This means that it won't be able to battle. Ash calls {{an|Professor Oak}}, who suggests using one of his other Pokémon instead. {{AP|Kingler}}, {{AP|Muk}} and one of his {{AP|Tauros}} turn up, and Ash decides to go with Tauros due to the "beginner's luck" factor that won his battle with Kingler and Muk back in the [[Indigo League]]. Ash puts Snorlax's [[Poké Ball]] on the transporter and receives a very happy Tauros in return.
Drake starts with {{p|Ditto}}, while Ash starts with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ditto starts with {{m|Transform}} to turn into a Pikachu. Pikachu begins with a powerful {{m|Thunder}} strike, and Ditto uses its own Thunder attack. Next, they both exchange a {{m|Thunder Shock}} at the same time. The rocks begin to crumble underfoot, hurting Pikachu but not Ditto, who calmly hops from one to the other. Ash is frustrated and ignores Misty's suggestion that he substitute Pikachu for another Pokémon. Ditto starts using {{m|Agility}}, while Pikachu tries to shock it with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but it proves to be too quick and evades the attack. Ditto hits Pikachu with Thunder, but it has no effect as Pikachu channels it to the ground with his tail before using {{m|Quick Attack}}, something Ditto copies too. The two opponents confront each other midair with an {{t|Electric}} attack before falling to the ground. However, Pikachu manages to get up and [[Fainting|knock Ditto out]] with his electrified tail to win the round. {{Tracey}} surmises that Pikachu managed to win because he was in better physical shape.


That evening, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] contemplate their humiliating defeat. A van drives past informing everyone that a challenger has been found who will battle the next day. {{MTR}} likes this as they can get Dragonite when the challenger has softened it up a little.
Drake congratulates Ash on his first victory before sending out his next Pokémon, an {{p|Onix}}. Ash [[recall]]s Pikachu and sends out {{AP|Squirtle}}. As Ash tells Squirtle to use {{m|Water Gun}}, Drake has Onix to {{m|Dig|burrow underground}} and avoid the attack. Initially unsure of what to do, Ash eventually tells Squirtle to get into the water. However, Onix gets to Squirtle first, knocking it into the air before holding it in a {{m|Bind}}. Squirtle manages to counter this by using {{m|Withdraw}} followed by {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Onix is unable to escape the torrent, and Squirtle finishes off its opponent with {{m|Skull Bash}}.


The next morning, Ash arrives at the stadium ready to battle. After the customary handshake, the referee states that the state of the field will change after one of them has three Pokémon faint. As he says this, the flat field disappears and is replaced by a field with rocks on it and a pool in the middle. Outside, Team Rocket are more amazed at who the challenger is. But Meowth states that this will just make things all the more interesting.
Drake informs Ash that he won't have a ghost of a chance against his third Pokémon, {{p|Gengar}}. Misty and Tracey are worried as no Pokémon is strong against a {{t|Ghost}} [[type]], so Ash decides to try his beginner's luck strategy and sends out Tauros. Tauros uses {{m|Fissure}}, but Gengar jumps into the air, making the attack useless. Gengar uses {{m|Confuse Ray}} on Tauros, who starts running into the rocks, leaving Ash with no choice but to recall him. He sends out Lapras and decides to counter Confuse Ray with {{m|Ice Beam}}. Lapras avoids Gengar's {{m|Hypnosis}} by diving underwater, emerging to hit Gengar with a {{m|Water Gun}}. Gengar tries {{m|Night Shade}}, so Lapras uses Ice Beam. The two attacks collide in an explosion that engulfs the entire arena, leaving Ash and Drake in shock and with no idea which of their Pokémon will emerge victorious.
 
Drake starts with {{p|Ditto}}, while Ash starts with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ditto naturally starts with {{m|Transform}} to turn into a copy of Pikachu. Pikachu begins with a powerful {{m|Thunder}}, and then Ditto uses its own Thunder. Next, they both use {{m|ThunderShock}} at the same time. The rocks begin to crumble, hurting Pikachu but not Ditto, who calmly hops from one to the other. Ditto starts using {{m|Agility}}, while Pikachu tries to shock it with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but no luck. Ditto then hits Pikachu with Thunder, but it has no effect as Pikachu channels it to the ground with its tail. Pikachu then uses {{m|Quick Attack}} and Ditto use the same move too, until they meet each other in the air. Both fall to the ground, though Pikachu manages to get up and knock Ditto with its tail to win the round. {{Tracey}} realizes that Pikachu managed to win because it was in better physical shape. Ash has done really well to get past Drake's Ditto but he still has another five Pokémon to face.
 
Drake is proud of his Ditto for battling and is proud of Ash on his first victory and tells Ash that he's going to get rocked by his next Pokémon, an {{p|Onix}}! Ash recalls Pikachu and sends out {{AP|Squirtle}}. Drake seems pleased with this. As Ash tells Squirtle to use {{m|Water Gun}}, Drake tells Onix to use {{m|Dig}}. As the rock snake burrows underground, it dodges the Water Gun. Ash is now unsure as to what to do, finally deciding to send Squirtle into the water. However, Onix gets to Squirtle first, knocking it into the air before holding it in a {{m|Bind}}. Squirtle manages to counter this by using {{m|Withdraw}} followed by {{m|Hydro Pump}}. A final {{m|Skull Bash}} finishes the round.
 
Drake is surprised at Ash's second victory, but tells him that he won't have a ghost of a chance against his third Pokémon, {{p|Gengar}}. Misty and Tracey are worried as no Pokémon is strong against a ghost, so Ash decides to try his beginner's luck strategy and sends out Tauros. Drake thinks Ash has finally slipped up. Tauros uses {{m|Fissure}}, but Gengar just jumps into the air, making the ground attack useless. Gengar then uses {{m|Confuse Ray}} on Tauros, who starts running into the rocks. Ash has no choice but to recall Tauros.
 
Ash decides to counter Confuse Ray with {{m|Ice Beam}}, and sends out Lapras. Lapras avoids Gengar's initial attacks by going underwater, coming out to hit Gengar with a {{m|Water Gun}}. Gengar then tries {{m|Night Shade}}, so Lapras uses Ice Beam. The attacks collide and an explosion engulfs the arena. Who will be left standing?

After winning his way to the final competition for the Orange League Winner's Trophy, victory seems a long shot for Ash as the Gym Leader deploys a powerful Gengar that topples one of Ash's Pokémon after another.

Plot

As Ash and his friends approach Pummelo Island, they notice a mysterious Pokémon flying around. Upon reaching the island, Ash registers himself for a battle against the Supreme Gym Leader of the Orange Crew. After having his Badges verified, he is informed that his battle will be held the following morning and that it will be a Full Battle. Ash gets ready to start training, but Misty tells him that he needs to know where the stadium is first. The assistant escorts Ash and his friends to Pummelo Stadium and the nearby Palace of Victory, also known as the Orange League Hall of Fame, where all victorious Trainers and Pokémon are immortalized. The trio notices the Dragonite statues decorating the Palace, and the attendant confirms that the Pokémon they saw earlier was indeed the Dragonite belonging to Supreme Gym Leader Drake, who has gone undefeated for a long time because his Dragonite is too strong. Meanwhile, on the Pummelo Stadium battlefield, Team Rocket appears to steal Drake's Dragonite. However, it uses a single Hyper Beam, which sends them blasting off.

Ash gets ready to train, but finds that his Snorlax won't wake up. Upon consulting Nurse Joy, she states that Snorlax, who had just eaten, probably won't wake up for several days and will have to miss the Full Battle. Ash calls Professor Oak, who suggests using one of his other Pokémon instead. Kingler, Muk, and one of his Tauros turn up, and Ash decides to use Tauros due to the "beginner's luck" factor that won him his battles with Kingler and Muk back in the Indigo Plateau Conference. Ash puts Snorlax's Poké Ball on the transporter and receives Tauros in return. Meanwhile, Jessie and James contemplate their humiliating defeat. A van drives past and informs everyone that a challenger has been found to battle the Supreme Gym Leader the next day. Meowth suggests that they can get Dragonite when the challenger has weakened it.

The next morning, Ash arrives at Pummelo Stadium, ready to battle. After the customary handshake between Ash and Drake, the referee explains that the state of the field will change after one of them has three unconscious Pokémon. At that moment, the flat field disappears and is replaced by a rocky field with a pool in the middle. Outside, Team Rocket watches from one of the television screens, and they are amazed to learn that Ash is the challenger.

Drake starts with Ditto, while Ash starts with Pikachu. Ditto starts with Transform to turn into a Pikachu. Pikachu begins with a powerful Thunder strike, and Ditto uses its own Thunder attack. Next, they both exchange a Thunder Shock at the same time. The rocks begin to crumble underfoot, hurting Pikachu but not Ditto, who calmly hops from one to the other. Ash is frustrated and ignores Misty's suggestion that he substitute Pikachu for another Pokémon. Ditto starts using Agility, while Pikachu tries to shock it with Thunderbolt, but it proves to be too quick and evades the attack. Ditto hits Pikachu with Thunder, but it has no effect as Pikachu channels it to the ground with his tail before using Quick Attack, something Ditto copies too. The two opponents confront each other midair with an Electric attack before falling to the ground. However, Pikachu manages to get up and knock Ditto out with his electrified tail to win the round. Tracey surmises that Pikachu managed to win because he was in better physical shape.

Drake congratulates Ash on his first victory before sending out his next Pokémon, an Onix. Ash recalls Pikachu and sends out Squirtle. As Ash tells Squirtle to use Water Gun, Drake has Onix to burrow underground and avoid the attack. Initially unsure of what to do, Ash eventually tells Squirtle to get into the water. However, Onix gets to Squirtle first, knocking it into the air before holding it in a Bind. Squirtle manages to counter this by using Withdraw followed by Hydro Pump. Onix is unable to escape the torrent, and Squirtle finishes off its opponent with Skull Bash.

Drake informs Ash that he won't have a ghost of a chance against his third Pokémon, Gengar. Misty and Tracey are worried as no Pokémon is strong against a Ghost type, so Ash decides to try his beginner's luck strategy and sends out Tauros. Tauros uses Fissure, but Gengar jumps into the air, making the attack useless. Gengar uses Confuse Ray on Tauros, who starts running into the rocks, leaving Ash with no choice but to recall him. He sends out Lapras and decides to counter Confuse Ray with Ice Beam. Lapras avoids Gengar's Hypnosis by diving underwater, emerging to hit Gengar with a Water Gun. Gengar tries Night Shade, so Lapras uses Ice Beam. The two attacks collide in an explosion that engulfs the entire arena, leaving Ash and Drake in shock and with no idea which of their Pokémon will emerge victorious.

Trivia

Errors

  • Dragonite is incorrectly referred as a Legendary Pokémon.
  • In the scene where Ash scans his Pokédex for Dragonite, the Dragonite statue he's scanning is above it, not underneath it, unlike in the preceding shot.
  • Even though Ash caught his Tauros in a Safari Ball, from this episode onward, Tauros's Poké Ball is always depicted as a normal Poké Ball.
  • In the English dub, Tracey says that there is no type which would be really strong against a Ghost-type Pokémon. In reality, Ghost-type Pokémon are weak against themselves.
  • The announcer refers to Gengar's Confuse Ray as "Confusion Ray".
  • When Ash recalls his Tauros, a part of his glove is missing.

Dub edits

  • Pikachu's Jukebox: What Kind of Pokémon Are You?
  • Although the English dub implies that Drake is merely a fifth Gym Leader in the Orange League, the Japanese version specifically uses the title Head Leader to denote his importance.
  • When Ash is thinking about what Pokémon to use against Gengar, Tracey originally tells Ash to use Psychic- or Ground-type moves against the Ghost/Poison Pokémon, making Ash choose Tauros due to him knowing Fissure. In the English dub, Tracey says that there is no type that is really strong against a Ghost-type Pokémon, so Ash decides to use Tauros due to "beginner's luck".
  • In the English dub, after Ash has Squirtle use Withdraw, Drake says that the battle is over. In the original Japanese version, he says that Ash should give up.
