EPISODE: ASH VS. BYRON!

BRYON LOVES TO BATTLE AND HE LOVES DEFENSE! HE PROMISES ASH

THAT THIS BATTLE WILL NOT BE A WALK IN THE PARK.

HIS FIRST POKÉMON IS BRONZOR!

BRONZOR WAS DISCOVERED IN ANCIENT TOMBS. RESEARCHERS

BELIEVE THAT IT USED TO REFLECT, JUST LIKE A MIRROR.

THE EXCITEMENT IS CONTAGIOUS! ASH CHOOSES CHIMCHAR. AS A FIRE

TYPE, THERE’S NO QUESTION THAT IT HAS THE ADVANTAGE!

CHIMCHAR USES FLAMETHROWER AND BYRON TELLS BRONZOR TO

BRACE ITSELF.

HOW CAN BRONZOR HANDLE FLAMTHROWER?

THANKS TO ITS ABILITY HEATPROOF, FIRE DOES ONLY HALF THE
DAMAGE!

CHIMCHAR TRIES TO USE IT AGAIN, BUT BRONZOR USES RAIN DANCE!

IT TURNS THE FIRE INTO STEAM, WHICH MAKES A CLOUD APPEAR ABOVE
THE STADIUM.

THIS IS ALL PART OF BYRON’S STRATEGY: RAIN DANCE IS A WATER MOVE

AND THAT HURTS CHIMCHAR!

CHIMCHAR USES DIG TO ESCAPE FROM THE RAIN AND USES

FLAMETHROWER.

BRONZOR DODGES IT AND HITS CHIMCHAR WITH GYRO BALL!

IT’S FLAMEWHEEL AGAINST ANOTHER GYRO BALL AND CHIMCHAR IS THE

CELEBRATING TOO SOON!

BYRON IS JUST GETTING STARTED AND SENDS OUT STEELIX!

THE BODY OF STEELIX IS HARDER THAN ANY METAL. IT LIVES

UNDERGROUND WHERE IT DRINKS OIL AND CHEWS ON ROCKS. IT CAN
SEE IN THE DARK.

ASH CHOOSES BUIZEL, BUT HE IS UNSURE HOW TO ATTACK! BYRON ASKS

HIM IF HE’S SCARED AND DARES HIM TO ATTACK.

BUIZEL USES WATER GUN, BUT ONIX’S SCREECH IS TOO POWERFUL!

BOTH TRAINERS HAVE TWO POKÉMON LEFT. DOES BYRON HAVE THE
UPPER HAND OR IS ASH GOING TO WIN IT?

HOW WILL ASH TAKE DOWN BYRON’S GLORIOUS STEELIX? ASH IS

BETTING ON CHIMCHAR, WHO USES FLAMETHROWER AND SCORES A
DIRECT HIT.

BUT, CHIMCHAR HAS NOT FULLY RECOVERED AND ALMOST GETS HIT BY
AN IRON TAIL. IT USES DIG TO ESCAPE, BUT STEELIX MAKES THE EARTH
TREMBLE WITH IRON TAIL.

STEELIX SEEMS TO BE WINNING, BUT IT LOSES ITS BALANCE BECAUSE

THE BATTLEFIELD HAS BECOME UNSTABLE AFTER CHIMCHAR’S USE OF
DIG.

CHIMCHAR QUICKLY USES FLAMEWHEEL TO KNOCK STEELIX OUT.
