Episode Title:
At the End of the Fray
Episode Description:
Ash's Glalie and Tyson's Sceptile are both knocked out, so Ash sends out Torkoal and Tyson sends out Shiftry, who keeps dodging Flamethrower until Torkoal finally hits one and beats it. Tyson then uses Hariyama, who blocks Flamethrower with an Arm Thrust. Brock reveals that Hariyama has a Thick Fat that makes Fire and Ice Type attack do less than half the damage they usually would, giving Hariyama the advantage over Ash's Torkoal and Corphish. Ash then sends in Swellow, in which Hariyama catches Swellow by the beak in the midst of a Quick Attack, but Swellow manages to emerge victorious against Hariyama and Tyson's Donphan. Tyson then sends in Metagross who beats Swellow after hitting it with a Hyper Beam, but not without leaving Ash an opening by leaving a scratch on Metagross via a Quick Attack for Ash to focus on. Ash sends in Grovyle next, who uses Bullet Seed on the scratch making it deeper. Grovyle goes for Leaf Blade but gets hit with Meteor Mash and loses. Ash's last Pokémon is Pikachu, who uses Iron Tail and then Thunder on the scratch and knocks out Metagross. Tyson's last Pokémon is Meowth who is revealed to know Thunderbolt and uses it to block Pikachu's electric attacks. Pikachu and Meowth hit Iron Tails on each other and Pikachu collapses. Tyson wins the match and goes on to win the rest of the matches and the Hoenn League championship.
