The Journey of Ash Ketchum(Kanto)

Indigo League Part 4

Tevinblair: Hello there everybody. I see that everyone else in the review section loved the latest chapter especially with Moltres making a entrance at the Indigo League Stadium as well as deciding to stick around for the whole Indigo Plateau Conference Tournament and of course his League match against Mandi. Now while the original anime series had Kingler effortlessly beat all of Mandi's Pokemon which was amazing by the way, it also unfortunately causes some issues for Ash's other Pokemon that he would've used during this match. Let me explain. You see if his other Pokemon gotten their chance to battle, they would've gotten more battling experience that could've helped them one case either get close to or exactly at the level needed to evolve since some of Ash's Pokemon had no qualms with evolving and in the other case could've gotten his 2 unused Pokemon either that much closer to or exactly learning a new Move that with either case would have greatly improved Ash's chances in the Indigo League AKA The Indigo Plateau Conference Tournament which the writers should've done during that Arc so basically just having Krabby evolve into Kingler and effortlessly wipe out Mandi's Team was kind of a double-edged Sword for both Ash and his Pokemon.

Indigo League Part 4: The Rock Field

Ash & Serena were at Pokémon Village for Ash's next match, he pressed the button & the light stopped on the rock symbol.

"We're on the Rock Field." Ash said

Then the screen showed Ash's picture & Joe's picture.

"Look Ash, you're up against Joe." Serena said surprisingly

Ash was sitting on a bench waiting for his match

"Hey Ash." Joe said

"Oh, hi Joe." Ash said

Joe sat down next to Ash.

"Guess you & I will be battling each other in the next match." Joe said

"Yeah, but we both knew that this was going to happen." Ash said

"You're right about that, at least I have a chance to get a rematch against you." Joe said "Last time we battled, I lost. But now I've gotten stronger with my Pokémon."

"That's good, & during our battle, I want you to give me everything you've got." Ash said

"Right." Joe nodded

At the Rock Field

"The second round in the Rock Field is about to begin, between Trainers Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town & Joe, a former student from Pokémon Technical Institute." The announcer said

"Go Nidoking!" Joe said as he sent out his Nidoking

"Nido!" Nidoking roared

"Porygon, I choose you!" Ash said as he sent out his Porygon

"Porygon." Porygon said

"Wow, Ash has a Porygon!" Todd beamed as he took pictures

"Battle begin!" The referee said

ASH VS JOE

"Alright, Porygon, use Psybeam." Ash said. Porygon fired a streaky blue beam with pink circles in it from its mouth & hit Nidoking

"Nidoking, Toxic Spikes." Joe said. Nidoking fired a dark purple orb from its into the sky, the orb exploded & smaller dark purple orbs fell to the battlefield and sunk into the ground

"Use Zen Headbutt." Ash said. Porygon became surrounded by a light blue force field & charged at Nidoking with it head

"Dodge it & use Focus Punch." Joe said. Nidoking dodged the attack, then its fist glowed orange & punched Porygon
