ASH "Cameron's Secret Weapon!"

[crowd cheering]

[DETERMINED]

POKEDEX Hydreigon, the Brutal Pokémon.

And the evolved form of Zweilous.

Hydreigon believes anything that moves is its opponent

viciously attacking with its three heads.

Cameron's first Pokémon

is the awesome and fearsome Hydreigon.

[cheering]

- It's Hydreigon! - Wow! That's so cool.

[EXCITED]

I wonder which Pokémon Ash is going to choose?

- Hm. - Now it's my turn!

Boldore, I choose you!

[APPEARING]

'Ash's first Pokémon is Boldore.'

Ash has made a good choice.

This should be an exciting battle.

- Can't wait to watch this. - Cool.

Then let's get going!

'Get ready for some secret weapon power!'

Now. Hydreigon, Tri Attack!

[TRI ATTACK MOVE]

Dodge it, quick!

Huh!

Dragon Pulse, let's go!

[DRAGON PULSE MOVE]

[PAINED]

Hydreigon's Dragon Pulse scores a big hit!

Look at all that power!

I think Cameron has the upper hand.

BIANCA Mm.

Boldore! You okay?

[STRUGGLING]

Alright! Use Rock Blast!

Dodge it! [EXERTION]

[ROCK BLAST MOVE]

Ugh! Boldore, Rock Smash!

[ROCK SMASH MOVE]

Dodge it!

[PAINED]

- On target! - Ha-ha!

[EXCITED]

Way to go, Boldore!

The real battle's just getting started!

- Huh? - Dragon Rush, let's go!

[DRAGON RUSH MOVE]

[PAINED]

Use Tri Attack!

[STRUGGLING]

[gasps]

Use Flash Cannon!

[FLASH CANNON MOVE]

Dragon Pulse, go!

[DRAGON PULSE MOVE] [gasps]

[gasping]

[STUNNED]

REFEREE Boldore is unable to battle!

Hydreigon's the winner!

FREDDY 'Hydreigon's Dragon Pulse'

'successfully overpowered Boldore's Flash Cannon

'winning the battle.'

You deserve a good rest.

No wonder you call Hydreigon your secret weapon.

That's a pretty cool Pokémon.

[laughing] Sure is.

[AGREEMENT]

Hey, this is fun.

Are you having a good time?

ASH You bet I am!

After all, I'm totally psyched seeing

how powerful your Hydreigon is.

Thought so. It's cool, isn't it?

So what Pokémon are you gonna choose next?

It better be a good one.

Of course it will be!

Oshawott, I choose you!

[APPEARING]

FREDDY 'Ash's second Pokémon

is Oshawott!'

Uh, is that a good idea?

It's hard to say.

Maybe the strategy is to use

Oshawott to chip away at Hydreigon's stamina.

Are you saying Oshawott's Ash's throwaway Pokémon?

Hold on! Ash wouldn't do something like that.

He's going to give it his all, of course.

He wouldn't do anything else!

[EXCITED] Oshawott, Aqua Jet!

[AQUA JET MOVE]

[PAINED] Awesome! Now use Razor Shell!

[RAZOR SHELL MOVE]

[EXERTION]

Dragon Pulse!

[DRAGON PULSE MOVE]

Dodge it, quick! [PANICKED]

[CONCERNED]

Okay, Oshawott, show Hydreigon and Cameron

just how powerful you really are!

Yeah? This I gotta see.

Use Razor Shell!

[RAZOR SHELL MOVE]

[SURPRISED]

[PAINED]

Oshawott is strong.

Okay, Hydro Pump!

[HYDRO PUMP MOVE]

Keep it up, Oshawott!

Yeah, enjoy it while you can!

Use Tri Attack!

[TRI ATTACK MOVE]

[PANICKED]

Hang in there, Oshawott!

[ENCOURAGING]

[STRUGGLING]

[DETERMINED]

Now, use Tackle!

[TACKLE MOVE]

[PAINED]

- Hydreigon, no! - Yes!

Use Razor Shell!

[RAZOR SHELL MOVE]

Double Hit, let's go!

[DOUBLE HIT MOVE]

Whoa, Hydreigon knows Double Hit, too!

[STRUGGLING]

Finish this up with Dragon Rush!

[DRAGON RUSH MOVE]

[SHOCKED]/[STRUGGLING]

Oh!

REFEREE Oshawott is unable to battle!

Hydreigon's the winner!

'First Boldore, and now Oshawott!'

'Back-to-back victories for Hydreigon!'

Good job, Oshawott.

That Hydreigon of yours sure is strong, alright.

Of course it is. That's why it's my secret weapon.

Now Ash lost two battles in a row! This is bad.

Cameron may win the whole match in a clean sweep.

If Ash loses, that could mean that..

'...we might be the ones'

'facing Cameron and Hydreigon next!'

Alright, Pignite, I choose you!

[APPEARING]

Okay, Pignite, go for it!

[DETERMINED]

FREDDY 'Ash chooses Pignite

as his third Pokémon.'

Pignite? Awesome!

What a great Pokémon to beat!

So let's start this thing off with Brick Break!

[BRICK BREAK MOVE]

Use Dragon Pulse!

[DRAGON PULSE MOVE]

[gasps]

[DETERMINED]

Go get 'em, Pignite!

Use Flamethrower, do it!

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

Way to go! [ENCOURAGING]

Use Tri Attack!

[TRI ATTACK MOVE]

[EXERTION]/[PAINED]

Use Dragon Rush, now!

[DRAGON RUSH MOVE]

Ugh!

Hey, Pignite, are you okay?

I know you can do it!

Remember, you're strong enough to handle any attack!

[ENCOURAGING]

[DETERMINED]

Yes!

Pignite's sure got a lot of spirit!

[HAPPY]

And that spirit is the perfect ingredient here.

I would guess that's why Ash chose it as his third Pokémon.

Brick Break! [BRICK BREAK MOVE]

Use Flame Charge!

[FLAME CHARGE MOVE]

It's a Flame Charge explosion!

You're doing great, Pignite!

PIKACHU [EXCITED] [grunting]

Finally Pignite's landing some attacks!

And since this is Hydreigon's third battle

it's starting to lose steam!

Ash, time to go in for the finish!

Come on and wrap up this battle up, now!

Oh, yay!

[ENCOURAGING]

Now, Hydreigon, use Double Hit!

[DOUBLE HIT MOVE]

[DETERMINED]

Fire Pledge, go!

[FIRE PLEDGE MOVE]

Quick, dodge it!

[EXERTION]

Use Flamethrower!

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

Hydreigon's been hit by Pignite's fabulous Flamethrower!

Really great stuff!

[PLEASED]

No! Hydreigon!

[BRICK BREAK MOVE]

Counter that Brick Break with Double Hit!

'and Ash scores his first'

'quarterfinal victory!'

You were great, Pignite!

PIKACHU/PIGNITE [OVERJOYED]/[PLEASED]

Awesome work, Hydreigon.

Hydreigon's such a powerful Pokémon.

Ash did such a great job.

Way to go, Ash!

All you have to do is keep on, keepin' on!

Cameron! Which Pokémon are you gonna use next?

Wait. Don't rush me!

[grunts]

Got it! Okay, Ferrothorn, you're up next!

[APPEARING]

Let's give them a battle they'll never forget.

to battle! Pignite's the winner!'

back-to-back wins, as well!'

- Yeah, what a show! - We now have ourselves a tie!

Alright, Samurott, you're up next!

[APPEARING]

Awesome! It's great to see your Samurott!

When it comes to great teams

Samurott and I are numero uno!

Uh-oh, Pignite's at a disadvantage

against Water types.

- Hm. - Forget disadvantage!

- Use it to your advantage! - Okay, Pignite, let's do this!

Flamethrower, go!

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

Now, Samurott, counter it with Hydro Cannon!

[HYDRO CANNON MOVE]

PIGNITE [PAINED]

Oh!

Yeah!

Okay, Pignite, Brick Break, go!

[BREAK BRICK MOVE]

Pignite's starting to slow down.

That must be from the previous battle.

Aqua Jet, let's go!

[AQUA JET MOVE]

[PAINED]

[STUNNED]

REFEREE 'Pignite is unable to battle!'

'Samurott's the winner!'

FREDDY 'Cameron pulls ahead'

'with his third victory.'

Pignite, you were great. Get a good rest.

Oh, man! I am so psyched!

I'm so stoked, I feel like

I could win every battle forever!

- I feel the same way too! - Hurry, Ash!

Choose your Pokémon right now.

Pikachu, I choose you!

[DELIGHTED]

Alright! You're bringing out Pikachu!

Ash's buddy, tried and true.

Electric-Type Pikachu has an advantage

over Water-Type Samurott.

Go for it, Pikachu! You can win this!

Okay, Pikachu! Thunderbolt, let's go!

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

Razor Shell!

[RAZOR SHELL MOVE]

- Awesome move! - Duh!

- We're talking my Samurott. - Uh!

That must be their strategy for Electric-Types.

Use Quick Attack!

[QUICK ATTACK MOVE]

Now, counter it with Razor Shell!

[RAZOR SHELL MOVE]

[PAINED]

Use Hydro Cannon!

[HYDRO CANNON MOVE]

[EXERTION] Nice work, Samurott!

[PLEASED]

Use Quick Attack one more time!

[QUICK ATTACK MOVE]

Razor Shell, go!

[EXERTION] [PANICKED]

[IRON TAIL MOVE]

FREDDY 'And Ash gets number three!'

A perfect blend of tasty moves.

A great recipe for success.

- Awesome! - You're on a roll!

Swanna, you're up next!

[APPEARING]

FREDDY 'Cameron pins his'

'winning hopes on Swanna!'

It's a Water and Flying-Type.

I'll bet Cameron's planning to attack Pikachu from up above.

Come on, Ash! You'd better win this or else!

Pikachu, yay! You can do it!

You all set? Up, Swanna!

[EXERTION]

Get ready.

Pluck, let's go!

[PLUCK MOVE]

Your Swanna had some pretty cool moves too, for sure.

FREDDY 'A fourth win for Ash'

'and he's now in the lead!'

Alright, Riolu, you're up!

[DETERMINED]

Don't forget, all of our hopes are resting on you.

What're you talking about? Count 'em!

We use six Pokémon and Riolu's number five!

Wait, round four's a full battle

so it's a five-on-five, right?

No, wrong.

A full battle's a six-on-six battle.

[groans]

Uh-oh, it looks like Cameron mistakenly thought

he only needed five Pokémon for a full battle.

Little kid time.

He's a bit of a scatterbrain.

That isn't exactly a newsflash.

- For sure. - Bianca?

You don't have much room to talk.

Come on, who cares about numbers anyway?

As long as Riolu beats all the Pokémon you have left

I'm gonna win. That works for me.

[TIRED]

Alright, Pikachu, how about taking a little rest?

[SURPRISED]

CAMERON What? You're not using Pikachu?

Three battles in a row is pretty rough

even for Pikachu.

Unfezant, I choose you!

[APPEARING]

FREDDY 'Ash substitutes

Unfezant forPikachu!'

Substituting Unfezant for Pikachu is smart.

But it's up against Riolu. This won't be an easy win.

Use Gust!

[GUST MOVE]

[EXERTION]

Quick Attack!

[QUICK ATTACK MOVE]

[EXERTION]

Now, land on top of Unfezant!

[SURPRISED]

- What? - Multiple Force Palms!

[FORCE PALM MOVE]

How does Unfezant get out of that?

Knock Riolu off your back!

[EXERTION]

Air Cutter!

[AIR CUTTER MOVE]

Use Copycat!

[COPYCAT MOVE]

[EXERTION]

[ATTACK]

[ATTACK]

- Ah! - Keep it up!

Use Vacuum Wave!

[VACUUM WAVE MOVE]

Use Aerial Ace!

[EXERTION]

[AERIAL ACE MOVE]

Now use Circle Throw!

[CIRCLE THROW MOVE]

[PAINED]

Riolu nailed Circle Throw!

Unfezant's in trouble.

REFEREE Unfezant's unable to battle!

Riolu's the winner!

[laughs]

You battled hard, Unfezant!

Wow, Riolu, I'm impressed!

Alright. Snivy, I choose you!

It's up to you!

[DETERMINED]

FREDDY 'Ash's sixth Pokémon is Snivy!'

Okay, Riolu, we've gotta win this one.

You with me?

Vacuum Wave!

[VACUUM WAVE MOVE]

Dodge it!

Great! Now use Leaf Blade!

[LEAF BLADE MOVE]

We'll take that! Copycat!

[COPYCAT MOVE]

[LEAF BLADE MOVE]

Vacuum Wave, go!

[VACUUM WAVE MOVE]

Alright. Now Force Palm!

[FORCE PALM MOVE]

Circle Throw, go!

[CIRCLE THROW MOVE]

[PAINED]

Snivy, are you okay?

[STRUGGLING]

- Huh. - Oh, no.

Those attacks must've hurt bad!

It's amazing too.

Snivy, use Leaf Storm!

[LEAF STROM MOVE]

Snivy!

Alright! Use Vine Whip!

[VINE WHIP MOVE]

[PANICKED]

Keep it up, Snivy!

[EXCITED]

Use Vacuum Wave!

[VACUUM WAVE MOVE]

Vacuum Wave, one more time!

Dodge it!

[EXERTION]

Now, Leaf Storm, let's go!

[LEAF STORM MOVE]

[PAINED]

- Whoa, that was some hit. - Yeah!

Riolu, are you okay?

[STRUGGLING]

Hey, what's going on?

Oh, man..

What is happening out there?

- Could it be? - Not could.

It definitely is!

It's evolving!

[AMAZED]

[EVOLVING]

[PROUD]

[SCARED]

Riolu evolved into Lucario.

You're right!

That's awesome, Riolu! Way to go!

There's no doubt in my mind. This is our battle to win!

What an incredible turn of events!

The outcome of this battle is now anyone's guess!

NARRATOR Incredible!

Snivy's opponent Riolu has evolved into Lucario.

With this unexpected turn of events to deal with

will Ash be able to defeat Cameron?

Stay tuned for the answer.
