EPISODE: ASH VS. FANTINA, THE REMATCH

WHERE DID WE LEAVE OFF?

FANTINA’S MISMAGIUS USES DARK PULSE, WHILE CHIMCHAR USES

FLAMETHROWER AS A COUNTER SHIELD TO BOTH THIS ATTACK AND
PSYWAVE. IT IS AN AMAZING SIGHT!

CHIMCHAR BLOCKS MISMAGIUS’S ATTACKS, KNOCKING AWAY ALL OF ITS

MOVES. FINALLY, CHIMCHAR HITS MISMAGIUS WITH A FLAME WHEEL
THAT TAKES IT OUT.

MEANWHILE, JESSE HAS WON HER SECOND CONTEST RIBBON! IT’S BOTH A
PRIVILEGE AND AN HONOR! JESSE LOVES THE CHEERS AND THE
APPLAUSE, AND THIS IS AN EXTRA RIBBON FOR HER COLLECTION! NOW,
SHE HAS TWO UNDER HER BELT.

THE POKÉMON THAT HELPED HER WIN WAS…?

YOU GUESSED IT, YANMEGA!

YANMEGA CAN CREATE SHOCK WAVES BY FLAPPING ITS WINGS. IT HAS

INCREDIBLE JAW POWER AND IS SKILLED AT BITING HIS PREY APART
WHILE FLYING AT HIGH SPEED.

ASH USES PIKACHU AND LANDS A POWERFUL ELECTRIC HIT, BUT

DRIFBLIM USES HIS PSYCHIC POWERS TO BREAK FREE AND FOLLOWS UP
WITH WILL-O-WISP, WHICH IT CONTROLS AND TURNS INTO A SHIELD OF
ITS OWN!

DID ASH’S STRATEGY SPRING A LEAK? DOES HE NEED TO RETOOL IT?

ABSORBS DRIFBLIM’S AND IT OVERPOWERS DRIFBLIM, WHO GETS HIT
HARD!

ASH USES FIRE AGAINST FIRE!
