"Butterfree, use Confusion on your Stun Spore, Sleep Powder, and Poison Powder," Drew commanded his butterfly-like friend.

The Pokémon's eyes glowed blue and manipulated the spores and powdery techniques. Butterfree turned the three status attacks into three different colored twisters.

"Now combine them!" the emerald-haired trainer ordered.

The tornado-shaped combination made a multi-colored twister. The specks of powder were shining bright, and the orange overlapped the purple, while the silver overlapped the orange, and the purple overlapped the silver, and so on.

Drew smirked; "Now, Butterfree, end it with an Energy Ball!"

A green compact energy ball was shot out by the Butterfly Pokémon and aimed for the twister. When it made an impact, everything dispersed, and multiple colors scattered everywhere.

"Seadra, use Dragon Pulse!" a powerful dragon technique shot out after being ordered by Misty.

The attack directed its path at a solid rock the size of a Tyranitar. The move dissolved after leaving the stone in pebbles. Then Gible launched its dragon assault. Misty had to think quickly, or it would inflict pain on her Water-type Pokémon.

"Use Twister!" the gym leader quickly commanded a twister to counter the Dragon Pulse.

Thankfully for Misty, the Twister countered the Dragon Pulse and sent it back at the small dragon. The little creature fell backward with swirled eyes, indicating its defeat.

"Bulbasaur use Vine Whip on the branch to dodge the Sludge Bomb," the raven-haired trainer demanded.

The Grass-type released its vines to grab hold of the tree branch. It swung itself into midair and dodged the barrage of sludge attacks. While in the air, Muk tried to aim, but the starter managed to avoid the torrent of sludge.

"Charge a Solarbeam," Ash called out to the Pokémon.

Muk had no other option but to keep using a volley of sludge. Bulbasaur descended while charging its attack and moving away from the vicious offense.

"Now!" the black-haired boy shouted.

"Bulbsaaauurrr!" the Grass/Poison-type let the Solarbeam loose.

The energy blast launched at the gooey Poison-type and was a direct hit; "Muuuuk!" was the creature's cry in pain.

"Now I can practice. I wonder where Ash, Drew, and Misty could be though?" May declared excitedly after receiving Blaziken and Glaceon through Oak's transfer machine.

She went outside and reached for the seven Pokéballs she had placed in her fanny pack. "Come on out everyone!" she cheered. The brunette threw the balls into the air. Munchlax, Wartortle, Glaceon, Blaziken, Venusaur, Skitty, and Beautifly stood before her. They were all cheerful about being out in an open space and happily greeted their trainer.

"Hi, guys! We're at Professor Oak's ranch, so behave well and don't cause any trouble. Blaziken, you're going to train with me right now. Everyone else can go and have fun!" May joyfully announced as everyone, except Blaziken, left to run around the grass. May's Pokémon happily reunited with Ash's, and his Bulbasaur was delighted to discover May's Bulbasaur evolved into Venusaur.

"Bulbasaur, bulba," Bulbasaur extended its vine for a handshake.

Venusaur extended her vines and picked up Bulbasaur, "Venu venusaur saur," the Pokémon smiled as it held Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur grinned happily over their reunion.

Despite needing to train with May, Blaziken hoped to have a rematch with Ash's Sceptile. When they saw each other, the Hoenn starters smirked at each other. They were rivals forever in their minds. The fire Pokémon was eager to settle the score with the cocky lizard since they tied last time.
