TB114: Enter the Dragonite

Episode Plot

Continuing where the last episode left off, the result of the battle between Ash's Lapras and Drake's Gengar results in a double knockout. There was a time out for a field change, from rock and water to a sandy desert. Drake chose his Venusaur next and Ash chose Tauros. Ash won the battle. Next, Drake choose Electabuzz and Ash chose Bulbasaur. Despite having a type advantage, Bulbasaur lost. Ash sent out Charizard, who took down Electabuzz. With one Pokémon left Ash was so close to victory. Unfortunately Drake's last Pokémon is his Dragonite. How will Ash stop this juggernaut, and will he leave Pummelo Island a winner, or a loser?
