It is time for Ash's and Winona's battle. The elevators climb up atop the pillars. Winona prays before the battle to give her Pokémon power to defeat Ash. As her first Pokémon, Winona sends Altaria. Ash brings Grovyle, surprising everyone. Altaria starts using Dive, so Grovyle counters with Bullet Seed. Altaria dodges and goes to peck him, so Grovyle jumps, but Altaria still pecks him. Altaria goes to attack once more, but Grovyle's speed makes it dodge. Grovyle is exhausted, but Winona is still impressed. Team Rocket got lost while following their way to the battlefield.

James and Jessie are skeptical, but change their opinions when they see the rods turned, so they grab them and run to that direction.

Altaria uses Dragon Breath, hurting Grovyle. It uses again, but Grovyle dodges the attacks. Grovyle attacks Altaria with Bullet Seed, though Altaria goes up and attacks with Dragon Breath. Grovyle evades, jumps and uses Leaf Blade, putting Altaria to the ground defeated. Winona is amazed (even if she was off-guard). She sends Pelipper. Ash calls Grovyle back and sends Pikachu. Winona thought as much, so Pikachu uses Thunderbolt while Pelipper Steel Wing. Pelipper touches the ground with the wing, so no damage is dealt. Team Rocket wander underneath the battlefield and are electrocuted by the attack and are blown near the battlefield, seeing Pikachu attacking. So, they go to their original plan.

It is time for Ash's and Winona's battle. The elevators rise up atop the pillars. Before the battle, Winona kneels and prays to the sky to give her Pokémon the power to“conquer the stormy winds“. As her first Pokémon, Winona sends Altaria, while Brock hopes Altaria's beauty does not deceive Ash. Ash sends Grovyle, surprising everyone. Altaria starts diving down, so Grovyle counters with Bullet Seed. Altaria dodges and goes to peck him, so Grovyle jumps, but Altaria still pecks it. Altaria goes to repeat its attack, but Grovyle's speed makes it dodge. Grovyle is exhausted and while Winona is impressed, she reminds Ash being defensive won't earn him the victory. Team Rocket got lost while following the way to the battlefield. Meowth gives them some rods, claiming there is a buried treasure underneath the Gym. Meowth claims these rods would dance them out the way to the treasure and pounds Jessie and James for actually trying to dance. James and Jessie are skeptical, but change their opinions when they see the rods turned. Jessie and James take the rods, making Meowth angry they simply took them away from him.

Altaria uses [[Dragon Breath]], hurting Grovyle. Altaria repeats the attack, but Grovyle dodges the attacks. Grovyle attacks Altaria with Bullet Seed, though Altaria goes up and attacks with Dragon Breath. Grovyle evades, jumps and uses Leaf Blade, pushing Altaria to the ground. Altaria is defeated, while Brock sees Ash wanted to find a moment for Grovyle to have a clear hit, while May is glad to know Ash had a plan. Winona is amazed and confirms this match has just started, as she sends Pelipper. Ash calls Grovyle back and sends Pikachu, as Max points out Pelipper has a great disadvantage against Pikachu. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt while Pelipper Steel Wing. Pelipper touches the ground with the wing, so no damage is dealt. Team Rocket wander underneath the battlefield and see the rods have turned to a direction above them. A pillar emits electricity, hitting Team Rocket, who are blown near the battlefield.

Swellow dodges and pushes Grovyle using its beak and sends him down to the ground defeated. Max explains May how Aerial Ace works. Ash sends Grovyle back and sends his Swellow. To intense the battle, Ash and Winona go higher. However, the wind can make the battle tricky. Swellow uses Wing Attack, although Brock says he is using the wrong attack. The shiny Swellow stays on course, so Swellow goes out of balance. The shiny Swellow pecks the other, hurting it. Before it hits the ground, Swellow gains balance and gets back to air. The shiny Swellow uses Hyper Beam, but misses. The third attack hits Swellow. The shiny Swellow makes another attack, but Swellow dodges and uses Quick Attack, but shiny Swellow uses Aerial Ace.

Swellow uses Aerial Ace, so Grovyle jumps and uses Leaf Blade, but Swellow dodges and pushes Grovyle using its beak, then sends it down to the ground, which immediately defeats Grovyle. Max explains to May the Pokémon using Aerial Ace circles around the opponent, disappears for a bit and launches the attack, making it nearly impossible to defend against.

The shiny Swellow hits Swellow with the attack. The shiny Swellow follows Swellow, so it begins to shake at full speed, evading the shiny one. Ash needs to think to beat Aerial Ace, so he spots the middle of the battlefield.

May and Max cannot see what is about to happen, but Ash orders Swellow to use Quick Attack and Dive. The shiny one misses and goes after Swellow. The shiny Swellow uses Aerial Ace and Swellow uses Wing Attack and points it on the ground.

Sky High Gym Battle! (Japanese: ヒワマキジム！大空の戦い！！, Hepburn: Fortree Gym! Battle In The Sky) is the 45th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.

Synopsis

Ash begins his Gym battle with Winona by sending out Grovyle against her Altaria. Grovyle takes out Altaria with Leaf Blade. Next up is Pelipper, a Water-and-Flying-type so Ash counters with the Electric-type Pikachu. Pelipper uses Steel Wing on the ground, and Pikachu uses Thunderbolt with no effect. Team Rocket arrives to steal Pikachu, but the force of Pikachu's continued Thunderbolt sends them blasting off.

It turns out that Pelipper is being grounded by its Steel Wing, making the Electric-type attack ineffective. Pelipper uses Hydro Pump, which Pikachu uses as a conduit to shock the other Pokémon. It results in a double KO.

Ash sends out Grovyle again, which is then finished off by Winona's Swellow. Ash counters with his own Swellow. Winona's Pokémon has the advantage since it has more experience battling in mid-air, especially with its Aerial Ace. After taking several hits, Ash has his Swellow use Wing Attack on the ground, which gives his Swellow a chance to counterattack, knocking out Swellow and winning him the Feather Badge.[1]

Episode plot

It is time for Ash's and Winona's battle. The elevators rise up atop the pillars. Before the battle, Winona kneels and prays to the sky to give her Pokémon the power to“conquer the stormy winds“. As her first Pokémon, Winona sends Altaria, while Brock hopes Altaria's beauty does not deceive Ash. Ash sends Grovyle, surprising everyone. Altaria starts diving down, so Grovyle counters with Bullet Seed. Altaria dodges and goes to peck him, so Grovyle jumps, but Altaria still pecks it. Altaria goes to repeat its attack, but Grovyle's speed makes it dodge. Grovyle is exhausted and while Winona is impressed, she reminds Ash being defensive won't earn him the victory. Team Rocket got lost while following the way to the battlefield. Meowth gives them some rods, claiming there is a buried treasure underneath the Gym. Meowth claims these rods would dance them out the way to the treasure and pounds Jessie and James for actually trying to dance. James and Jessie are skeptical, but change their opinions when they see the rods turned. Jessie and James take the rods, making Meowth angry they simply took them away from him.

Altaria uses Dragon Breath, hurting Grovyle. Altaria repeats the attack, but Grovyle dodges the attacks. Grovyle attacks Altaria with Bullet Seed, though Altaria goes up and attacks with Dragon Breath. Grovyle evades, jumps and uses Leaf Blade, pushing Altaria to the ground. Altaria is defeated, while Brock sees Ash wanted to find a moment for Grovyle to have a clear hit, while May is glad to know Ash had a plan. Winona is amazed and confirms this match has just started, as she sends Pelipper. Ash calls Grovyle back and sends Pikachu, as Max points out Pelipper has a great disadvantage against Pikachu.

Ash's Swellow uses Wing Attack, although Brock warns he is using the wrong attack. The shiny Swellow avoids Wing Attack, and due to the impact of the attack, Ash's Swellow falls down, while the shiny Swellow pecks the other, hurting it.

Mistakes

  • Winona's Swellow did not have sparkles coming out of its Poké Ball when it was sent out.
  • The Pokémon Trainer's Choice states that Lapras would be the best choice to battle Baltoy. This is true, however, every Pokémon listed has an advantage against Baltoy. Ledian is immune to Baltoy's Ground-type moves with its Flying-type, Meganium's Grass-type moves would be good against Baltoy's Ground-type and Lapras's Water-type and Ice-type moves would both be super effective against Baltoy's Ground-type.
