This is a list of episodes in Pokémon: Advanced Challenge, the seventh season of the Pokémon animated series (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā?, Pocket Monsters), covering the continuing adventures of series protagonist Ash Ketchum in Hoenn.

What You Seed is What You Get

[Ash and Pikachu exit the Pokémon Centre in Mauville City]

Ash: All right, Pikachu, are you ready to go to the next gym?

Pikachu: Pikachu.

Narrator: Fresh off a victory at the Mauville Gym, which earned him his third badge, Ash can't wait to get to his next battle, in hopes of qualifying for the Hoenn League.

Max: Hey, Ash, what's the name of the next town we're going to?

Ash: Huh? [chuckles] Come to think of it, Max, I guess I'm not sure.

Max: [disappointed] That's great.

May: Well, I happen to know, our next stop is Fallarbor Town.

Ash: That doesn't sound right?

[Max gets out his PokéNav]

Max: Yeah, this says the next gym is in Lavaridge Town.

Ash: Well, if Lavaridge Town is my next badge, then that's where we're going.

Pikachu: Pika pika.

May: Now wait just a minute, Ash! Nurse Joy said the next Pokémon Contest is in Fallarbor Town, so we're going there!

Ash: Nope, my battle's in Lavaridge Town!

May: BUT I'LL MISS MY POKÉMON CONTEST!

Ash: LAVARIDGE TOWN!

May: FALLARBOR TOWN!

Ash: FIRST MY GYM BATTLE!

May: FIRST MY POKÉMON CONTEST!

Brock: Alright, settle down, you two.

Max: We'll do both. [The camera cuts to his PokéNav which has two red dots flashing] Those two towns are almost right next to each other.

Brock: Great, then why don't we go to Fallarbor Town right now? [turns to Ash] And after that, we can head to Lavaridge Town for your gym battle.

May: Sounds like a good plan to me.

Ash: Okay, I know when I'm outvoted.

Pikachu: Pika.

May: Then let's hit the road, you guys, and Fallarbor Town, look out!

---

Jessie: All that hard work for nothing...

James: So much for the fruit of our labour.

Meowth: Guess we're just stuck with the fruit we already got.

Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet.

Team Rocket: Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!

Let Bagons Be Bagons

[The title card comes up]

Ash: [voiceover] Let Bagons Be Bagons.

[A Bagon leaps into the air]

Bagon: Baaaaaaa... [Starts diving down towards Ash and his friends] ....Gon!

Max: It's coming down!

Ash: Run for it!

[Ash and his friends run away from the falling Bagon, but Bagon hits a rock, destroying it on impact. Ash and his friends turn back. When the dust clears, they see Bagon who is now standing on the ground]

Bagon: Ba. Bagon!

Max: I think that Bagon's looking for a fight.

Ash: Fine then. Taillow, I choose you! [Sends out Taillow]

Taillow: Taillow!

Bagon [turning to Taillow] Ba? [Starts racing against Taillow to the top of a rocky mountain and waits to attack] Bagon!

Taillow: Taaiiiiii!

Ash: It's probably gonna use that same attack. Taillow, watch out!

Taillow: Taaiiiiii!

[Bagon launches itself off the edge of the cliff]

Bagon: Gon gon gon gon gon, Gon! [Falls down]

Ash: Taillow, dodge it.

[Taillow stops flying for a moment, but Bagon misses it]

Taillow: Taillow! [Flies upwards]

[Then, Bagon hits its head on a rock and stands its ground]

Ash: Now, Taillow, use Wing Attack.

Taillow: Taillow!

[Then, Michelle, a woman dressed in purple appears on the scene]

Michelle: Ha!

Brock: Oh!

Ash, Max & May: Huh?

Michelle: [on her phone] Taillow: target spotted. Speed: 85, Angle: 34 degrees, Range to target: 16 metres, calculating probable coordinates for next collision vector. [The camera cuts to Taillow] Bagon, shift one metre to the left.

[Bagon jumps out of Taillow's path as Taillow swoops past]

Ash: It dodged it.

Michelle: [to Ash and his friends] Hey, if you fools all lost your minds, where do you get off launching a sneak attack on my Bagon like that?

Ash: What are you talking about? Your Bagon attacked us first!

Michelle: Oh, yeah, well if it's a fight you're after, you've got your wish!

Max: We never said that.

May: We were just innocently walking along the path when your Bagon came swooping down on us from the cliff.

Michelle: Oh, uh, that's what happened? [Removes her sunglasses] Sorry about that. Guess I should have asked first instead of assuming you were attacking.

Brock: Forget about it, no problem. [Holds Michelle's hand] Some of the world's greatest romances began with silly little misunderstandings!

Michelle: Are you alright?

Brock: My name's Brock, I'll be just fine if you tell me who you are.

Michelle: Okay, I'm Michelle.

Brock: Ah, Michelle, what a beautiful name!

Ash: Hi, I'm Ash from Pallet Town.

Max: And I'm Max.

May: My name's May. Hi!

Pikachu: Pika, Pikachu.

---

James: This is the captain! Lunch will not be served today!

A Togepi Mirage!

Misty: Togetic, I love you!

Candid Camerupt!

James: Now I know what a hotdog feels like: boiled in its own juices.

Meowth: I'm sweating here like a Snorlax in leather pants.

Jessie: Oh, please! Stop the pity party, wimps! We'll find water any minute now.

James: I'll take a large, please. [faints]

Meowth: Make dat two wit ice. [faints]

Jessie: Oh, who am I kidding? [faints]

---

[When May sees Max blushing at Vivi]

May: Hey, am I crazy or does my brother have a girlfriend?

---

[After Max's win, but ultimately gets rejected by Vivi soon after]

Ash: Hey, Max. Great win, Way to go!

Max: [tearfully heartbroken] What's so great about it? [Corphish tries to confort him]

May: Oh, poor Max. I guess Corphish chopped his heart in two with its pincer!

---

[When Camerupt gets angry after being hit in the face from Iron Tail]

Vicky: It's a nasty habit a lot of Camerupt have, for some reason, getting hit in the face tends to make them uncontrollably angry, and after that, its Eruption time.

ZigZag Zangoose!

[Ash has just won a match against Nicholai using Treecko, but Team Rocket are spying on him from behind a bush]

Meowth: Twerp straight ahead, and while he's busy battling with that wacky kid in a costume, we'll grab Pikachu.

James: [referring to Nicolai] Wait a minute. Isn't he that kid we ran into before who was obsessed with his short pants?

Jessie: I don't care if he likes the short pants, long pants or underpants! I just wanna get Pikachu!

[Wobbuffet pops up]

Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet.

Jessie: So I'm gonna do it now! Go, Seviper! [Sends out Seviper]

Seviper: Seviper!

Jessie: Listen here, Seviper, as soon as the twerp is looking the other way, I want you to grab Pikachu.

Seviper: Seviper.

---

Jessie: I understand. I suppose everyone has one person in the world they wish they could abandon on an island or throw down a Raticate hole. Cassidy, for instance!!

James/Meowth: Cassidy?!

Jessie: [Grows] She's the one I'd tear into pieces if I had half a chance!

---

[Seviper and Zangoose are battling each other]

Jessie: Seviper, Bite attack now!

Seviper: Seviper. [Readies its bite attack so it can bite Zangoose]

Nicholai: Zangoose, just keep dodging!

Zangoose: Zan... [Seviper bites it] ...Goose!

Jessie: All right, now use your Poison Tail, Seviper!

[Seviper uses Poison Tail]

Nicholai: Here it comes!

Seviper: Seviper!

Nicholai: All that training with Ash is really paying off! Except it's so tired. You've just got to keep dodging its attacks, Zangoose. You can't let Seviper do any more damage!

Jessie: I've had enough of playing games. All right, Seviper, attack and finish it off!

Seviper: [Hisses until it hear's Pikachu's scream]

Pikachu: Pikaaaaaaaa!

[The cage that Pikachu is inside lands infront of Jessie and Nicholai]

Jessie & Nicholai: [surprised] Huh?

[The camera cuts to Ash and his friends, James, Meowth and Wobbuffet racing to the cage]

Ash: Pikachu!

James: Hold up a minute!

Meowth: Pikachu's ours, we stole it!

[They get into a fight...]

Ash: I got yaaaaa!

Max: Give us back Pikachu!

Meowth: Forget about it, it's ours now!

Ash: Give it back, Team Rocket!

James: Let go of my foot!

Meowth: Wrong, that's my foot!

[Until Wobbuffet walks away with Pikachu in the cage]

Wobbuffet: Wobba wobba.

Ash: [to Wobbuffet] Hey! Get back here with that!

[Ash, Brock, May, Max, James and Meowth start chasing after Wobbuffet]

James: Wobbuffet!

Wobbuffet: Waaaaaaaaaa!

Pikachu: Pika.

[The chase continues when Nicholai appears in his Zangoose costume]

Nicholai: Wait a second, they can't catch it. [A flashback with May's Skitty occurs] Because of the way it zigzags back and forth just like that Skitty did in the training exercise. [The flashback ends] Zangoose, you gotta move like Wobbuffet. Make zigzags!

Zangoose: Zangoose.

[The chase continues until Jessie pops up]

Jessie: [angrily] EVERYONE, STOP RIGHT NOW!

Ash: Aha. [Takes the cage off of Wobbuffet's head] I'll just take this!

James: [frustrated] Oh, it happened again!

Meowth: You're all a bunch of cheaters!

Ash: You guys are the cheaters!

Pikachu: Pika pika!

Jessie: Take your silly squabbles elsewhere. I have a sacred battle to concentrate on. [to Seviper] Seviper, go!

Nicholai: Zangoose, attack now!

Zangoose: Zangoose.

Jessie: I see you've chosen to waste what little energy it has left. That's fine. Chase it down!

[Zangoose runs around as Seviper chases it]

Mr. Moore: No "Grandpa" stuff out here, Flannery. You'll address me as Judge.

Flannery: Yeah, alright.

Mr. Moore: Trainers can use up to three Pokémon, though only the challenger is allowed to make substitutions.

Flannery: Say what?!

Mr. Moore: Do you not know the rules?

True Blue Swablu

Ash: [Explaining how to fly] As soon as you're going fast enough while you flap your wings, you jump!

---

Swablu: Blu, blu, blu, blu!

May: Swablu!

James: You were caught red-handed!

Jessie: But don't be Swablu.

Swablu: Blu, blu, blu!

Ash Ketchum: Team Rocket!

Gulpin It Down

Professor Jacuzzi: So, who in the name of science are you?

Exploud and Clear

Max: Humans can have that same problem.

May: Really? What are you, an expert now?

Max: Well, as a matter fact, I am. After spending time with you day after day, I felt like I was going berserk myself.

May: What was that?!

Max: Don't hurt me! It was a joke.

May: [gasps] Now Max, you know I'd never hurt my sweet, adorable, little brother.

Max: Hmm.

May: But maybe you should watch what you say, just in case!

[Brock and Guy laugh at both May and Max]

---

Jessie: That same old thing?! How about something new?

Ash: Huh? What are you talking about?

Jessie: Prepare for trouble, funny you should ask!

James: And make it double—

Ash: Aw, come on. Talk about old!

A Double Dilemma

May: As you can see, Skitty's quite a juggler.

---

Larry: Now you're talkin'.

All: Go!

Love, Petalburg Style!

Meowth: Those two are dumb and dumber! So then what does that make me?

Jessie & James: I dunno, dumberer?

Meowth: No, it would be dumbest! Not dumberer, dumbest!

The Bicker the Better

[Ash and May start to bicker as they walk through some countryside]

May: Incredible! Raising your voice to a girl just 'cause she's looking in the mirror.

Ash: Talk about nerve! Standin' around gazing at yourself while your friends are all waiting.

May: What did you say?!

Ash: You heard me!

May: Wanna know what your problem is?!

Ash: I already know!

Max: Brock, is it only me, or have they been fighting all day?

Brock: All day.

Max: I wish they could just bring it to a close already.

Brock: No kidding.

May: I can't stand you Ash Ketchum!

Ash: Gee, I'm heartbroken!

Oscar & Andi: Excuse us, you two lovebirds.

[Ash and May turn to look at Oscar and Andi, a smartly dressed couple with Andi in the pink dress and Oscar in a blue uniform]

Oscar: Oscar is the name.

Andi: I'm Andi, and love is the name.

Max: Check out those guys. What's up with them?

Brock: Hello, gorgeous.

Oscar: Seeing how much in love you two appear to be...

Andi: We thought we'd offer you a challenge.

Both: Us, in love?

Ash: [with his arms folded] Huh! That's a laugh!

May: Hardy har har!

Oscar: Hmm mmm mmm. That's what young lovebirds always say.

Andi: And fighting's the first sign of love.

Oscar: It's pretty obvious that you two were in the middle of a fight, right?

Andi: That means...

Oscar & Andi: You two are in love.

Ash & May: I don't think so.

Oscar & Andi: Told you. You answered together.

---

[Ash and his friends are walking on a path beside the river]

Ash: That was the worst battle ever.

May: Yeah, you were pretty pathetic, alright.

[Ash's head appears in a speech bubble]

Ash: Excuse me? You're the one who lost it for us.

[May's head appears in a separate speech bubble]

May: You got something to say?

Ash: I just did!

May: Oh, yeah!

[They start arguing again. Meanwhile, Brock, Pikachu and Max appear in a bigger speech bubble]

Max: Hey, Brock, am I just having déjà vu? This sounds familiar.

Pikachu: Pika pika.

Brock: [cheerfully] Let me explain something. Believe it or not, this sort of turmoil has been going on between a man and a woman since the beginning of time.

Max: Whoa.

[Meanwhile, Jessie and James are arguing also]

Jessie: You just had to stick your Cacnea's nose where it wasn't needed.

James: I wouldn't talk if I were you. If your Seviper hadn't tried to save the world, Cacnea and I could have won back there.

[Jessie's face appears in a speech bubble]

Jessie: Let's talk about saving the world. Seviper and I had our hands full just trying to keep you and your Cacnea from getting blown away.

[James' face appears in a separate speech bubble]

James: Gee, thanks anyway, but we all blasted off just like always.

Jessie: Have you ever considered that perhaps our 'blasting off' expertise comes from YOUR side of the family?

James: Take that back!

Jessie: I'm just getting warmed up, incompetent blue-haired bigmouth!

James: Oh yeah, well at least I'm not ugly!

Jessie: Now that's crossing the line, buster!

James: [cheerfully] Yep, I knew that one would do the trick! Ah, yes. [sings] Ugly, ugly, ugly, Jessie is so ugly!

Jessie: [sings] La la la la.

[As they are singing, Meowth appears in a speech bubble]

Meowth: Can Pokémon actually take orders from these clowns?

---

Jessie: [to May, who she is teaming up with against James and Ash] I hope you're ready. With our combined feminine prowess, they'll be toast in no time flat!

May: [nervously] Uhh... well, yeah, I suppose I wouldn't mind knocking Ash down a peg or two.

James: [to Ash] Let's blow those whining women to the Dark Ages, right where they belong!

Ash: [as if to say "Chill, James! You've got that much of a grudge against them?"] Mmm... yeah, okay!

Grass Hysteria!

Pikachu: Pika-pi!

Bulbasaur: Bulba!

Team Rocket: 'Scuse us! Coming through! Pardon!

Ash Ketchum: What in the world is that? A huge robot?

Jessie: Prepare for trouble, we're having oodles of fun!

James: And make it double as you gaze upon our Mechanized marvel the Mean Old Lady Mark One!

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!

James: To unite all peoples within our nation!

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!

James: To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie: Jessie!

James: Jamsey!

Jessie: Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

James: Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight!

Meowth: Meowth, that's right!

Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!

Hokey Pokéballs

Nurse Joy: You're not the repairman!

Team Rocket: Prepare for trouble, aren't you smart! When it comes to twerps you're off the chart! To protect the world from devonstation! To unite all peoples within our nation! To denounce the evils of truth and love! To extend our reach to the stars above! It's Jessie! It's James as well! Team Rocket perfectly pirouettes at the speed of light! Surrender now or prepare to spin and fight! Meowth, that's right! Wobbuffet!

Whiscash and Ash

Sullivan: What is the meaning of this?

Me, Myself and Time

Team Rocket: We'll be back!

---

Ash Ketchum: Trainers, which one of these Pokémon is the best to beat Illumise? OK, trainers. If you chose Crobat, you were right!

Crobat: Cro!

A Fan with a Plan

Pokédex: Lairon, the Iron Armor Pokémon. Lairon is the evolved form of Aron. By drinking nutrient rich spring water, it's strength than its steel body. Flareon, the Flame Pokémon. Flareon is the evolved form of Eevee. The air it inhales is hypnotic by a flame inside its body and expelled as fire.

---

Brock: [Under his breath] Turnip thief.

---

Ash Ketchum: Trainers, which one of these Pokémon evolves to Seviper? OK, trainers. If you chose Arbok, you were right! [This quiz is 100% wrong. Arbok is not capable of evolving further. In addition, Seviper has no evolutionary lines. Did the writers watched the episodes where Jessie released her Arbok and later acquired a Seviper?]

---

Pokédex: Masquerain, the Eyeball Pokémon. Masquerain is the evolved form of Surskit. It's feelers which reassemble eyeballs help to throw out opponents. It's able to hover in the sky like a helicopter.

---

Savannah: Hey, those aren't yours!

Team Rocket: Prepare for trouble, they are today! If you can't win them, steal them, that's what we always say. To protect my entry status from devonstation! To allow a certain contestant to complete her registration. To denounce the evils of losing that's true! To extend her winning streak from zero to two. Jessie! And James. Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light! Surrender now, do me a favor, or I'll have to fight. This Contest will have a cute winner by tonight! Meowth, that's right. Wobbuffet!

---

Team Rocket: A dreadful twerps for the worst kind! We're blasting off again!

Cruisin' For a Losin'

May: [to Bulbasaur] Now throw Lairon with all your might.

[May's Bulbasaur uses Vine Whip on Lairon]

May's Bulbasaur: Bulbasaur!

Savannah: Send Shockwave now!

Lairon: Lai.... [Uses Shockwave on May's Bulbasaur] ...ron!

May's Bulbasaur: Bulbasaur!

Vivian: So that's it. Who'd have expected Lairon to use electric attacks?

[The camera cuts to Sandra, Ash, Pikachu, Max and Brock who among the audience watching the R1 Rubello Town Pokémon Contest]

Sandra: Yeah! All right!

Max': But Bulbasaur's a grass-type, so how could electric-type attacks have any effect against it?

Sandra: Just wait, you'll see in a second. [The camera cuts to Lairon who is still using Shock Wave on May's Bulbasaur] That's the whole reason why Lairon didn't dodge Vine Whip.

May's Bulbasaur: Bulba! [Becomes paralysed]

May: Bulbasaur, you've got to get up!

May's Bulbasaur: Bulba.

[The camera cuts to Ash and the others]

Ash: It's paralysed for real this time.

Max: But Shock Wave doesn't paralyse enough an opponent, only it stuns them.

Brock: Unless there's contact.

Ash: What?

Sandra: That's right. Since the two of them were directly connected by Bulbasaur's Vine Whip, then the attack had a much greater effect. That was another one of my ideas for mom.

Savannah: I've got to hand it to her. That attack was beautiful and effective, just like Sandra said it would be.

May: [to her Bulbasaur] Come on, don't give up. [The sparks disappear from Bulbasaur's body] Huh?

Vivian: It's obvious Bulbasaur has taken a lot of damage. Will May be able to recoup in time?

Savannah: Metal Claw, Lairon! Go!

Lairon: Lairon! Lairon! [Uses Metal Claw on Bulbasaur]

May: Bulbasaur!

[The contest judges give three X's]

Vivian: [appears from the right side of the screen] Bulbasaur is out of the battle, and Savannah continues on to the final round!

May: Hey wait, I'm not done fighting!

Nurse Joy: Yes, you are!

May: Huh?

Nurse Joy: Where's your concern for your Pokemon's health, May?!

Raoul: That is a coordinator's Number 1 priority, not winning.

Mr Sukizo: By now, you should know that.

[May is upset by what the judges have just said to her, as is everybody else]

Pearls are A Spoink's Best Friend

[Ash and his friends are walking along with Spoink who has nothing on its head]

Max: As soon as Spoink sees anything round, it gets all excited and just plops it up on its head.

Brock: I can understand Spoink's excitement, but still...

Electrode: Electrode.

[They meet an Electrode]

Ash: Wait, that's not your pearl.

Spoink: Spoink!

Electrode: Elec... [Gets carried by Spoink's psychic power and lands on its head] ...trode.

[Ash and his friends try to remove Electrode from Spoink's head]

Max: Cool it, Spoink.

Ash: Don't mess with this one.

Electrode: Electrode. [Uses Explosion and sends everyone flying]

Max: That's an Explosion attack gone awry!

[Soon, Ash and his friends are bushed]

Ash: This is gonna be a lot harder than I thought.

Pikachu: Pikachu.

Mudkip: Mudkip.

[They see Spoink's pearl]

Brock: Hey, is that it? [Picks up Spoink's pearl] This is it, guys. [The pearl glows and floats back to Spoink's head]

Max: It's a perfect fit.

May: Beautiful.

Ash: Now do you feel better, Spoink?

Spoink: Spoink. [Jumps off joyfully] Spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink.

Torkoal: [crying] Torrrkooaaalll!

Max: Torkoal's obviously happy.

May: Imagine if it didn't find its pearl.

Spoink: Spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink.

Ash: Careful, you don't lose it again, OK?

Ash & Friends: Arrggh! [They fall into a pit]

Ash: Not another one of these holes!

Jessie: Prepare for trouble, that's the name of our game!

James: Make it double, it's our claim to fame!

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!

James: To unite all peoples within our nation!

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!

James: To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie: Jessie!

James: James!

Jessie: Team Rocket blasting off at the super speed of light!

James: Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight!

Meowth: Meowth, that's right!

Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!

May: Team Rocket!

Jessie: But not the Team Rocket from days of old.

James: We're a brand new Team Rocket, fresh-faced in bold.

Max: Yeah, how so?

Jessie: First off, there's this. [Cuts a rope with some scissors and a boulder falls down while Ash and his friends get lifted in a net]

Meowth: How do you like us now?

James: There's plenty more where that came from.

Magikarp: Magikarp.

Jessie: It's not changing color it's showing its true color!!!

Meowth: That Feebas is a fraud!

James: Great another Magikarp.

Take This House and Shuppet

Narrator: Ah, the broad expanse of the universe. So infinite in its reach, so impressive in its magnitude. An imposing force... This, of course, has nothing to do with Team Rocket, as their attempt to capture Pikachu is thwarted yet again. Join us as we’re serenaded by an all too familiar refrain.

Team Rocket: AAAAAAH! WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!

---

Brock: [Looking at his puffed-up hair] Well, gotta say, I'm pretty stylin'.

A Shroomish Skirmish

Team Rocket: Prepare for trouble, we're hungry to fight! Make it double we're- Hey, forget that there's food here! Dinner is served!

May: Guess they're not too concerned about table manners.

Team Rocket: Ah, that hit the spot! Full timmies happy hearts! We are the world! Yes, peace in love! Now, back to evil! How far did I get? Right around make it double! Right, make it double! To protect the world from devonstation! To unite all peoples within our nation! To denounce the evils of truth and love! To extend our reach to the stars above! Jessie! And James! Team Rocket ate your lunch at the speed of light! Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight! That's right! Wobbuffet!

---

Pokédex: Breloom, the Mushroom Pokémon. Breloom is the evolved form of Shroomish. It's excellent footwork, hits it with in striking distance of its opponent where it unleashes of a rush of punches.

Unfair-Weather Friends

Jessie: Leave it to the twerps to drag us through three seasons in one day!

Who's Flying Now?

May: Combusken, Beautifly, Skitty, Bulbasaur!

Ash: Swellow, Grovyle, Corphish, Torkoal!

Brock: Forretress, Lombre, Mudkip!

[they start singing the song: You and me and Pokémon]

---

James: That wasn't nice. We're supposed to be a team.

Sky High Gym Battle!

[Before the battle commences, Winona sits down and says a prayer to the skies]

Winona: Oh great sky above, I ask you that you grant us wings. Grant us your power to conquer even the strongest of stormy winds. [Gets back on her feet] And please guide us to your great blue world and let us share its infinite power and majesty!

---

[Winona had just recalled her Altaria having lost to Ash's Grovyle despite a type advantage]

Winona: I must say, your strategy was excellent. You caught me completely off guard!

Ash: Gee, thanks Winona! But I'm not gonna forget that this match has just only gotten started!

Winona: That's true and don't think I part with my badges from my gym that easily!

---

Winona: Ash, on days that are so beautiful and clear like today, my Flying Pokemon and I are able to manifest greater power than we were able to in less perfect conditions. Those of us whose dreams reach towards the sky are loved by the sky in return.

Ash: Wow. I didn't know the sky could love you.

---

[Ash's Swellow is summoned and ready to fight Winona's Shiny Swellow]

Max: I can't believe Ash's choice!

May: I know. It's going to be a battle of Swellow vs Swellow!

---

Winona: I've got to compliment you, Ash, on making it this far in our Fortree Gym Battle. I'm afraid this is where it all ends.

---

Brock: Shutting down that Aerial Ace attack took serious skill. Firing a Wing Attack at the ground to reveal the position of the opponent in a cloud of dust right when it was flying in was a real smart strategy!

Lights, Camerupt, Action!

May: Like I always say, the merry the morrier!

Crazy as a Lunatone

Team Rocket: Prepare for trouble, truer words never spoken! Double that, my flashlight isn't broken! To protect the world from devonstation! To unite all peoples within our nation! To denounce the evils of truth and love! To extend our reach to the stars above! I'm Jessie! And I'm James! Vmmmmm! Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light! Mmmm! Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight! Meowth, that's right! Wobbuffet! Chime! Chime! Chime!

A Scare to Remember

Ash Ketchum: You don't remember who those guys are, do you?
