Episode Plot
In this episode Ash has his first gym battles with Chili, Cress and Cilan.
Added by CrimsonnavyAsh first meets Chili in battle and sends out Tepig. Ash tells Tepig to Tackle Pansear but this attack has less effect on Pansear. Pansear retaliates with a Fire Punch hurting Tepig. Pansear uses Flamethrower and Tepig uses Ember. Flamethrower wins the Ember and attacks Tepig. After this, Chili tells Pansear to use Dig. A confused Tepig is hit by Pansear from underneath. Ash tells Tepig to keep running. This works for some time but Tepig is hit again by Pansear and flies away. Ash tells Tepig to jump in to the hole Pansear dug and Tepig does so. A surprised Chili sees Tepig coming out having a firm bite on Pansear's tail. Chili tells Pansear to slam Tepig on the floor which it does successfully. But Tepig still standing, whirls Pansear by its tail and throws it on the ground and uses Ember upon Ash's command. With another speedy Tackle, Tepig slams Pansear to the wall and wins the battle.

 "I can see Striaton City! My first Unova Gym Battle! Let's give it all we've got! Alright!"  The exciting day is here...  Ash has arrived in Striaton City for his first Unova Gym Battle Challenge.  "Wonder who the Gym Leader is? Wonder what Pokémon we'll battle against? Aw man I'm so stoked! This is gonna be great! Let's go!"  "So tell me where's the gym?"  "Whoa! Iris! The gym... lets see... er..."  "All ready to go but you don't know where you're going just like a kid"  *Iris feeds Axew whilst a voice calls out* "Say, an Axew!"   "Soft skin as fresh as new grass tusks like newly sprouted young shoots and future as bright and limitless as the early morning sun, the perfect partner for a young lady who seems at one with nature!"  "Wow! Thanks so much!"  *A green haired boy dressed as a waiter gasps in shock*  "A Pikachu?! It's a Pikachu!"  "First time I've seen one up close! Hello there!"   "Say you've really got yourself a rare Pokémon y'know?  "Well you see we're from Kanto. My name's Ash. Pikachu's my special partner."  "How do you do? My name's Cilan. A Pokémon Connessieur"  "Pokémon Connessieur? What's that mean?"  "Of course! What a kid!"  "Not surprising at all! It's a job that isn't really known outside of the Unova Region."  "I use my knowledge and experience to judge the compatibility between trainers and their Pokémon. I then help them form closer relationships!"  "And that's the job of a Pokémon Connessieur.  "So waddaya think about Pikachu and me?"  "I'm sure you'll say we're perfect!"  "Why are you wasting your time with that? Remember why we came here?"  "Oh yeah, guess you're right. So do you know where the Striaton Gym is Cilan? I'm here to challenge it!"  *chuckles* "I see, that explains it. I'll take you there! Follow me!  "Here we are!"  "Awesome! Yes!"   *Ash opens the door* "Let's Battle!"  *The room stare at him*   "Huh? Hold on!"  *Even Iris is in disbelief* "This is the Striaton Gym?!"  *A red haired boy appears dressed the same as Cilan* "Hi! Welcome!"  *A wavy blue haired boy appears dressed the same as the red haired boy and Cilan* "Welcome Friends!"  "Please make yourself at home!"  *Ash is confused and is pushed through by Cilan* "But?!"  *And is made to sit down by Cilan* "Comfy?"  *The Red Haired Boy appears* "So are you all ready to order?"  *Then the Wavy Blue Haired Boy appears offering a menu* "May I start you off with something to drink?"  "No thanks, I think..." *Ash replies" "Change your mind? I highly recommend the Soda Pop"  "No thanks, not thirsty."  "Alright, we have a reasonably priced lunch menu."  "Not hungry either."  *Both the boys start talking at the same time offering lots*  *Some girls chat and giggle* "Who's that young boy?" "Not too cool!"  *The boys continue to offer...*  *Ash is livid and can't take anymore*  *And loses his temper*  "YARRGHHH!"  "I JUST WANNA HAVE A STRIATON CITY GYM BATTLE!!"  "Gym Battle?"  "That's what I said."  "I'm thinking this would be a good time to go. C'mon Pikachu."  "Just a minute!"  "Huh?"   "Alright then Ash..."  "I'll grant your request!"  *they sigh romantically*  "So you're a challenger?"  "You'll receive a welcome as pleasant and hearted as the 'noon day sun"  "Sooo dreamy!!"  "No I think we should be cool...  "Like a refreshing glass of water chilled of course!"  "I can't believe we get to see another battle today" "Yeah it's like the happiest day of my life" "I can't wait to see it"  "Pikachu what are they talking about?"  "This is the Striaton Gym."  "And the three of us." "We're triplet brothers" *Altogether* "And we're the gym leaders!"  "Three brothers and all three of them are gym leaders?!"  *Altogether* "Now it's...  showtime!"  *Ash gasps in amazement*  *Iris does the same*     "Let's Watch"  "So now is the time for you to select your battle opponent."  "I get to choose...?"  "That's correct, me..."  "Or Chilli..."  "Or Cress"  "You can battle any one of us. Our rules states if your victorious against the one you choose, you will earn the trio badge."  "Time to meet our Pokémon partners.  Heat's on!"  *Pansear says it's name*  "Here's the Pokémon I'll be using  Make a Splash"  *Panpour says it's name*                                                                    |
