EPISODE: ASH AGAINST MAYLENE (THE SECOND AND FINAL PART)

ASH SENDS OUT BUIZEL!

IT HAS A RUBBER BAND AROUND ITS NECK WHICH ALLOWS IT TO FLOAT

WITH ITS HEAD ABOVE WATER. IT SWIMS BY SPINNING ITS TWO TAILS.

BUIZEL FIRST USES WATER GUN AGAINST LUCARIO, THEN HE USES AQUA
JET WHILE SPINNING, WHICH IT LEARNED WHEN HE WAS STILL ONE OF
DAWN’S POKÉMON.

THIS COMBINATION OF MOVES WORKS WELL FOR A CONTEST!

RUBBER = RUBBER
BAND = BAND

BUIZEL TRIES TO USE SONIC BOOM, BUT LUCARIO KNOCKS IT BACK!

IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE BUIZEL IS GIVING UP, BUT SUDDENLY, HE LEARNS

A NEW MOVE: WATER PULSE.

LUCARIO HITS BUIZEL MANY TIMES: IS BUIZEL STILL ALL RIGHT?

BUIZEL EITHER HAS TO GET UP OR GIVE UP!

TO GIVE UP = OPGEVEN
SUDDENLY = PLOTS
STILL = NOG STEEDS
ALL RIGHT = ALLES GOED
TO GET UP = OPSTAAN

EITHER … OR … = OFWEL … OFWEL …

LUCARIO’S AURA SPHERE DESTROYS THE ROOF: WATCH AS IT STARTS TO

RAIN INSIDE THE GYM!

THE RAIN ACTIVATES BUIZEL’S SPECIAL ABILITY, SWIFT SWIM, WHICH

DOUBLES BUIZEL’S SPEED.

BOTH POKÉMON MAKE EXCELLENT USE OF THEIR POWER: IT’S ALL OR

NOTHING!

THE BATTLE ENDS WITH A DRAW AND BOTH ASH AND MAYLENE ARE
