After their time in the Safari Zone, Ash decides to let Leonite have the promised battle, this time against a Primeape. The battle is intense, but Leonite is ultimately defeated, leaving it satisfied with the challenge.
The group then moves on to Route 12, where they encounter a Pokémon known as Bullson. Ash, ever the thrill-seeker, decides to engage in a rodeo with Bullson. He calls upon Girafire for assistance, knowing he'll need all the help he can get.
As the rodeo unfolds, Girafire begins to glow with an intense light, evolving into Giraflame. With its newfound strength and burning neck, Giraflame helps Ash tame the powerful Bullson.
Bullson: The Rough Pokemon: Normal Type. Riding on a Bullson is a famous sport in the Rikoto region. The stronger the Bullson, the more difficult it is to sit on its back.
Giraflame: The Giraffe Pokemon: Fire Type. Evolved from Girafire at LV:36. Giraflame's neck is constantly burning. While they do not display discomfort in this, the flames can turn trees into ash in mere seconds.
After the rodeo, Alice approaches Ash, her expression a mix of worry and frustration. "Ash, how can you be so reckless?" she begins, her voice filled with concern. Ash, knowing how much Alice cares for him, can only rub his head in embarrassment, a sheepish smile on his face.
Delia sighs softly at Ash's antics, but noticing Alice's expression, she turns to Red and says, "You know, Alice may be a good wife for Ash."
Red nods in agreement. "I agree. She really cares about Ash, just like how you care about me."
As Ash battles trainers along Route 12, his Cuburn reaches a new level of strength, evolving into a powerful new form. The Pokémon now sports a red headband and wristbands, signifying its readiness for battle.
Grizzler: The Grizzly Pokemon: Fire and Fighting Type. Evolved from Cuburn at LV:35. Grizzler looks after its fellow Cuburns, but they would abandon all caution and throw themselves fully into the fight when they are challenged.
"It's a good thing I still have that Fire Stone from Tigacore," Ash says as he retrieves the Evolution Stone from his bag. With a determined nod, he gives the Fire Stone to Grizzler, triggering another evolution.
Magrizzly: The Grizzly Pokemon: Fire and Fighting Type. Evolved from Grizzler with a Fire Stone. Magrizzly's flames and spirit are known to heat up when fighting other Magrizzly. The same extends to Polarpow, even though they are of different colors.
"Polarpow? What's that Pokémon?" Ash asks, curious about the name mentioned in Magrizzly's description.
"Oh, it's an Ice Type bear Pokémon," Alice says, her eyes lighting up with excitement. But then her expression shifts to a frown. "I haven't captured one..."
Ash gives her an encouraging smile. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll capture one eventually." Alice nods, reassured by Ash's words.
As Ash continues his journey on Route 12, his Pokémon undergo several evolutions, each gaining new strengths and forms. First, Barball evolves into Barbviral, gaining two hands with spikes.
Barbviral: The Barb Pokemon: Steel and Poison Type. Evolved from Barball by learning Toxic Spikes. Barbviral can shoot out the spikes on it as if they're missiles. To grow the spikes back, it consumes large amounts of minerals and poisonous plants.
"So we have to watch out for this guy too," Ash says, examining Barbviral's new form. "We need to make sure it doesn't hurt anyone with those spikes."
Next, Toxidon evolves, standing on two feet as its body becomes more purple, transforming into Snapike.
