As the Johto League Silver Conference moved into the finals, Mew finds herself paired up against Gary, childhood friend and rival. Both trainers were fired up and determined to see the other face defeat. Before a huge crowd, they faced off in a six on six full battle. Mew's Jynx is able to defeat Nidoqueen. And Heracross is able to defeat Gary's Magmar. Now, without missing a beat, Gary called on his Blastoise. That was the very same Pokemon given to him by his grandfather, Professor Oak, when he first began as a Pokemon trainer. And now, the match continues!

Gary calls out, "Blastoise, use Hydro Pump!

Blastoise fires the attack.

Mew calls out, "Heracross, shield yourself with the rocks!"

Heracross does so, but the rock breaks from the water pressure and gets nailed)

"Heracross!" Mew cries out.

Heracross hits a rock hard, and then falls in defeat.

The referee announces, "Heracross is unable to battle, Blastoise wins!"

Heracross' picture blacks out on the scoreboard.

And the announcer says, "What power! Blastoise blew away Heracross and the rocks it was using to shield itself!"

Amazed, Misty says, "That was the most powerful Hydro Pump I've ever seen, guys."

"I don't think any defense can stand up against that," Brock says.

Tomo and the others including the Pokemon continue cheering on for Mew.

"Looks like Gary's matching Mew with power all his own. I can only hope all of Mew's experience will be enough.

Then the announcer questions, "What will Mew choose as his third Pokemon?"

Mew then calls out, "Go, Muk, I choose you!"

And Muk comes out.

The announcer says, "It's a Muk! But what attack could Muk possibly use against such a powerful Blastoise!"

Gary calls out the attack, "Blastoise, Skull Bash, let's go!"

Blastoise charges forward and nails Muk.

"Hang on, Muk!" Mew calls out.

Muk soon comes to a stop.

Then Mew calls out, "Show that Blastoise! Use Sludge Bomb!"

Muk fires the attack.

Gary calls out, "Rapid Spin, now!"

Blastoise tucks in and spins around and around to reflect the oncoming Sludge Bombs.

"Blastoise used Rapid Spin to send that Sludge Bomb back where it came from!" The announcer says.

"Good! Now send Muk flying!" Gary calls out.

Blastoise moves forward while still using Rapid Spin.

"Muk, hold your ground!" Mew calls out.

Muk manages to make Blastoise stop right then and there once it hits.

"What's this?!" Gary exclaims.

Then Mew calls out, "Now, Muk, surround Blastoise!"

Muk proceeds to smother Blastoise.

"Look at that! Muk has completely enveloped Blastoise!" The announcer says.

"That was a very nice move," Tracey says.

"And a fierce attack. I speak from experience, trust me," Professor Oak says.

"Can Blastoise escape?" The announcer questions.
