The Battle Arena

The Day Care Center and

The Silver Town Contest

Today the gang was resting in a pokemon center outside Saffron City. Yesterday they had a bit of an excitement; Brock's Mudkip evolved into Marshtomp. Now it was time for Ash to battle the Battle Dome for his next frontier symbol. "I wonder what this frontier battle is going to be like" said Max. "One is for sure it won't be easy like the Battle Factory battle wasn't" said Brock. "Yes," said Ash "but I will beat the Battle Arena like I beat the Battle Factory". "Atta boy Ash" said a voice. It was Scott. "Hi Scott," said Ash "here to see me battle the Battle Arena?" "Of course," answered Scott "and I can't wait to see your battle".

Scott explained that the frontier brain of the Battle Arena was a girl named Greta. Greta also runs a karate dojo and she uses fighting type pokemon. "Her favorite pokemon are Medicham and Hariyama, and her role models are Chuck of the Cianwood Gym and Brawley of the Dewford Gym". "No wonder especially when those two are brilliant fighting type trainers" said Ash. He remembered battling against them and he remembered how brilliantly they handled their fighting type pokemon. He then started to think about what he should do. "I think I shall use those two" he said. "What two Ash?" asked May. "I shall show you at the Battle Arena" replied Ash. Ash went off to call Prof Oak, leaving Scott and the others puzzled with what he said.

Soon Scott brought the gang to the Battle Arena. Since Greta was an arena tycoon, her battle facility was indeed a karate dojo. Ash shouted out at the entrance of the Battle Arena that he wished to battle the Battle Arena. A voice answered back saying "I accept your challenge" and then the doors opened. A blonde haired woman, wearing black and blue karate outfits, greeted Scott and the gang; she was Greta. Greta had a lot of karate students. "Greetings," said Greta "I am Greta the frontier brain of the Battle Arena". "My name is Ash Greta, and I am here to you challenge you" said Ash. "Well Ash I accept your challenge," said Greta "and I hope you're ready". "You bet I am ready" replied Ash. Both Greta and Ash couldn't wait to battle each other. "Before we start Ash you have to spin the wheel first" said Greta. A big roulette wheel came out of the floor. Greta explained to Ash that the wheel would decide which sort of battle they would have. If he rolled a one it would be a one on one battle, a two would be a two on two and a three would be a three on three. Ash spun the wheel and the arrow landed on a two. Ash and Greta would have a two on two pokemon battle.

Ash and Greta took their place of the battling field of the Battle Arena, ready to fight. Scott, the others and all of Greta's students sat on the sidelines to watch. Greta sent out her Hariyama and Medicham. "She's using exactly what Scott said she would" said May. "Now for Ash's choice" said Scott. Ash sent out his Kangaskhan and his Dodrio. "Ah so Ash got Dodrio and Kangaskhan from Prof Oak" said Brock. "But why Kangaskhan?" said Max "normal types have disadvantage over fighting types". "Don't count out Kangaskhan yet Max," said Tomo "Kangaskhan won't be defeated easily, you wait and see".

Greta went with Hariyama first and Ash went off first with Kangaskhan. Her baby was out of her pouch and on Ash's shoulder. "Okay Kangaskhan you start off with aerial ace" said Ash. Kangaskhan charged towards Hariyama. "Use arm thrust Hariyama" said Greta. "Counter that with dynamic punch Kangaskhan" said Ash. Kangaskhan and Hariyama butted their hand and fist with each other and tried to push each other back. "Use water pulse Kangaskhan" said Ash. Kangaskhan fired water pulse, from her mouth, at Hariyama and Hariyama was pushed back at once. "Woah" said Max "I know Kangaskhan are tough, but Ash's Kangaskhan is really tough, especially since she's up against a fighting type pokemon". "That's why I said don't count Kangaskhan out yet" said Tomo "the truth is that Kangaskhan has been a fighter even way before Ash captured it. I know because I saw Kangaskhan fight lots of times when I lived with Ranger Jenny at the Pokemon Reserve". Scott was impressed. "I can see that both you and your pokemon have a very strong spirit Ash," said Greta "but you won't be beating me that easily. Hariyama go in with focus punch". "Move in with thunder punch" said Ash. Kangaskhan and Hariyama punched each other with their punches. Poor Kangaskhan got hurt the most by the focus punch. "Kangaskhan are you all right?" asked Ash. Kangaskhan was all right. "This is a true spirit of battling," said Greta "but I shall end it now. Use focus punch again Hariyama". Hariyama charged to do focus punch, but then it stopped and yellow sparks surrounded it. "Kangaskhan's thunder punch made Hariyama paralyzed" said Max. "Now Hariyama will have some trouble moving because of its paralysis" said May. "Okay Kangaskhan show that Hariyama your focus punch" said Ash. Kangaskhan charged towards Hariyama and punched it hard with focus punch, and Hariyama got really hurt by that. "Now finish it off with mega kick" said Ash. Kangaskhan kicked Hariyama hard and then Hariyama fainted. So Ash was the winner of the first match.
