ASH "A CLUBSPLOSION OF EXCITEMENT!"


[audience cheering]


FREDDY 'Emboar is trapped!'


[STONE EDGE MOVE]


[DISHEARTENED]


- Hmm. - Emboar, you can't lose.


I believe in you. You can do it.


[DETERMINED]


Conkeldurr nails that Stone Edge!


Now, there's some damage.


ASH/IRIS/CILAN Uh?


[CONFIDENT]


- Huh? No way. - Emboar, you're fine!


FREDDY 'Oh, my!'


Unbelievable! Emboar caught the stones from the Stone Edge!


It's obvious Emboar heard and responded


to Bianca's passionate plea.


Awesome! [THRILLED]


- Amazing. - What a blend.


A unique and heartfelt bond that's truly second to none.


Go get them, Emboar!


'Toss the stones back with Fling!'


I had no idea Emboar could use Fling as well.


[FLING MOVE]


Conkeldurr, go on offense and bat them back.


[EXERTION]


[INTENT]


Emboar! Steal both of Conkeldurr's stone pillars!


[INTENT]


[SURPRISED] Conkeldurr!


Now, send them back using Fling!


[SURPRISED]


[FLING MOVE]


[PAINED]


Oh, no!


REFEREE Conkeldurr is unable to battle.


Emboar wins! Which means, the victor is Bianca!


[audience cheering]


That was one fierce and surprising battle.


What a scorching finish!


Hmm. I've never seen Fling used that way.


Truly, an awe-inspiring move.


You did it. You did it. You did it.


Oh, Emboar, you've made me the happiest Trainer


in the Clubsplosion Tournament.


Wow. Bianca really won!


That Emboar's amazing.


Who knew that would happen?


It was their surprise combination.


A bitter taste for Trip's palate.


[audience cheering]


TRIP 'Good job, Conkeldurr.'


I guess I still have a really long way to go to defeat Alder.


Huh?


Huh?


That concludes all of today's battles.


Round two will get underway tomorrow.


Alright, Don George, your thoughts


on our Clubsplosion battles so far?


Fantastic. With so many incredible moments


it's impossible to pick one.


'There will be four battles in the second round'


'and the matchups between these eight Trainers'


'will be announced tomorrow.'


Trainers, get plenty of rest


and make sure to keep your spirits high for tomorrow.


[audience cheering]


I'm happy to report that the Pokémon you brought in


is completely recovered.


Thank you very much, Nurse Joy.


Leaving so soon? Why?


- It's time. - 'Trip.'


- Huh? - Too bad you lost.


I wanted a chance to battle your Conkeldurr.


Next time will be different.


Trip's really embarrassed that he lost.


- Bien sur. - Huh?


People with big egos can be such a pain when they lose.


That goes double for him.



Sawk, it's amazing what good shape you're in.


You're like a first-class chef at a four-star restaurant.


Steffen, it's obvious you've put


your heart into working with Sawk.


Oh, you're embarrassing me.


Now, if someone would get my name right.


Hey, hold on!


See, I can't resist a conversation about fitness.


Obviously.


This is so cool. I just realized we're all rivals now.


[EXCITED]


And there's no way this rival's going to


lose the Clubsplosion.


Give me a break.


You win one match and you think you're the best.


Think again. Huh?


You all got lucky, that's all.


Have fun. I hope you all lose.


Scraggy, come on out.


[CURIOUS]


Okay, Scraggy. Tomorrow's going to be super-intense.


So if we want to win, you've got to use Focus Blast perfectly.


[DETERMINED]


Let's do some training.


Pikachu, will you help us?


[EAGER]


- 'Hey.' - Huh?


Ash, we're training too.


Awesome. So let's train together.


You bet.


[INTENT]


[gasps] What was that?


- Let's go check it out. - Right.


Use Seismic Toss again.


[INTENT]


[SEISMIC TOSS MOVE]


[both gasp]


It's Throh. [IMPRESSED]


Oh, it's you.


It looks like you two are training hard.


We're getting ready to do some training too


so how about you come and train with us?


I don't train with enemies.


Later.


- Huh? - Check it out.


Throh's powerful alright.


FREDDY 'Welcome to day two'


'of the Pokémon Clubsplosion Tournament.'


Presented by Don George. And here he is!


I welcome you all to our second round.


FREDDY 'I'm pleased to join Don George'


'for the play-by-play on some sure-to-be intensive battling.'


'So hold on to your seats and enjoy the results'


'of many long hours of rigorous training'


'by Pokémon and Trainer alike.'


Okay, Scraggy, let's do our best.


[DETERMINED]


FREDDY 'And now, on the big screen'


'our second round matchups.'


'So let's shuffle the cards'


'and find out who's battling whom.'


Hmm. Bam.


FREDDY 'And there they are.'


'Eight Trainers, four matches.'


'The excitement in Tournament Stadium'


'is stupendous.'


No thanks to me. I hope you lose. All of you.


Now turn your attention to the b*ttlefield.


Please welcome our Trainers and their Pokémon.


FREDDY 'From the Striaton Gym'


'an expert Grass-type Pokémon Trainer.'


'He's proud of his role as Pokémon Connoisseur'


'as well as Gym Leader.'


'And time will tell if one role outshines the other.'


'Presenting the green warrior, Cilan!'


What an entrance. Cool.


Cilan, we're rooting for you!


[PROUD] You fake! I hope you lose!


You poor excuse for a Connoisseur!


FREDDY 'Now, presenting a Trainer


who can stir up a storm'


'simply by entering the b*ttlefield'


'accompanied by Sawk, the Blue Lightning.'


'Give it up for Steffen!'


Why can't anybody get my name right?


It's going to be a serious battle


seeing Sawk going up against Pansage.


[EXCITED]


It'll be seriously funny watching Cilan squirm


like the loser he is.


[HAPPY]


[SOLEMN]


Stay sharp, Scraggy.


Watching what your opponent does is great experience.


[DETERMINED] Now, Trainers, begin!


[audience cheering]


GROUP Who's that Pokémon?


It's Emboar.


[audience cheering]


Come, now, use b*llet Seed.



[b*llet SEED MOVE]


Close Combat, go!


[CLOSE COMBAT MOVE]


What?


FREDDY 'Sawk is moving forward,


totally unfazed.'


That's toughness. I love to see


true head-to-head battling.


Wipe them out!


Show that Connoisseur a humiliating defeat!


[b*llet SEED MOVE]


[SURPRISED]


[ATTACK]


[PAINED]


[STRUGGLING]


FREDDY 'Pansage feeling that damage.'


Karate Chop, let's go!


[KARATE CHOP MOVE]


Now, Pansage, Bite.


[INTENT]


[BITE MOVE]


- Huh? - Pansage is using Bite on Sawk.


I never expected that move.


Wow, I didn't know you could stop Karate Chop with Bite.


Hmm. Well, now you do.


- It's Evaluation! - No, you don't.


Never underestimate Sawk's Karate Chop.


'Let's go!'


[STRUGGLING]


[PAINED]


Magnifique.No Evaluation Time.


'Sawk lands a devastating Karate Chop'


'despite Pansage's Bite.'


'Pansage is in trouble.'


Hmm. Now that's winning determination.


I know you can do it, Pansage, so please get up.


Pansage is tough, alright.


Your Sawk's impressive too.


This is so wrong. Pansage is supposed to stay down.


Why don't you get it?


Pansage's endurance is quite impressive.


Hmm, an admirable display of unyielding determination.


Try this on for size.


Use Low Sweep.


Now, jump and dodge it.


[DETERMINED]


[LOW SWEEP MOVE]


[PAINED]


Huh? Ah.


REFEREE 'Pansage is unable to battle.'


'Sawk wins.'


The victor? Stuven!


That's not my name! You're not even close!


But who cares? We won, Sawk.


We won! Yes! We won! Ha!


'Yes!'


Sawk's really strong.


Cilan couldn't even have his evaluation time.


Bon.It serves Cilan right.


And for once we were all spared that annoying evaluation time.


Joyeux jour.


'Sawk's power has Clubsplosion Tournament Stadium'


'boiling over with excitement and we're just getting started!'


'So Steuben moves to the semi-finals.'


My name's not that hard!


You were great. They simply had more determination than we did.


Return.


Your Sawk is truly a well-seasoned


and skilled competitor.


That was a great battle.


Congratulations.


Thanks very much, Cilan.


Aw, the poor Monsieur Nice Guy still lost.


Being a good sport doesn't fool me.


You act like he ruined your life.


Ha! There's no stopping the Clubsplosion Tournament!


Time for battle number two.


'This Trainer and her two brothers are famous through out'


'the Unova Region for their wild antics.'


'But only she has made it through to the second round.'


'Presenting Wild Girl Betty!'


Muah.


GETTY/ANGUS Alright. Go get them, Betty.


'And his dream is to be a Pokémon Master.'


'He's won six Gym badges so far'


'with the goal of entering the Unova League.'


'With passion all the way from Kanto, it's Ash!'


Good luck, Ash. Go for it.


Simipour. The Geyser Pokémon.


And the evolved form of Panpour.


Simipour can demolish a concrete wall


with the pressurized water it shoots from its tail.


Scraggy, keep your guard up.


Puh-lease. That little runt looks totally weak.


No problem.


[CONFIDENT]


Now, Trainers, begin!


One move. Aqua Tail!


[AQUA TAIL MOVE]


Counter with High Jump Kick!



[HIGH JUMP KICK


FREDDY 'It's Hi Jump Kick


versus Aqua Tail.'


'Their power is even and no one's backing down.'


Awesome, Scraggy.


They're better than I thought.


'Use Brick Break.'


FREDDY 'Without missing a beat,


Simipour's off and running.'


Block it!


[BRICK BREAK MOVE]


[EXERTION]


Scraggy, Focus Blast!


[FOCUS BLAST MOVE]


That's a Focus Blast?


Want to tell me where the focus went?


Doesn't get more embarrassing than that.


Hurry up and let's finish this with Acrobatics.


[ACROBATICS MOVE]


[PAINED]


Scraggy, no!


Now, there's an Acrobatics with style.


Not to mention a clean and crisp execution.


Alright, Scraggy, now it's our turn.


Leer, let's go!


[LEER MOVE]


[TERRIFIED] Give me a break. Stop, Simipour.


And Scraggy lands an effective Leer.


Remember, Leer decreases its opponent's defense.


- Brick Break. - Headbutt.


[HEADBUTT MOVE]


How could that runt block Brick Break?


Do it!


[PAINED]


FREDDY Scraggy counters


Brick Break with Headbutt.


Use High Jump Kick.


[HIGH JUMP KICK]


[PAINED]


[STUNNED]


Simipour's unable to battle.


Scraggy wins. Which means, the victor is Ash.


We did it, Scraggy!


[EXUBERANT]


FREDDY 'Ash is our second Trainer


to move on to the semi-finals.'


[RELIEVED]


Wow, that was close.


That Focus Blast still needs work.


They trained a lot. Guess it wasn't enough.


CILAN 'But look how happy Scraggy is.'


I can guarantee their victory will give Scraggy


a confidence boost that can only help.


Last I checked, no one cares when losers give advice.


DON GEORGE 'And now, for our third battle.'


FREDDY 'On the hunt for Dragon types'


'with a burning desire to ignite this crowd's passion'


'presenting our raging Dragon Buster, Georgia!'


'And here's the most vocal Trainer in Unova'


'wearing an irresistible smile'


'and ready to turn the field upside-down'


'please welcome the fabulous fire brand, Bianca!'


Georgia's battling Bianca.


Considering Georgia's using Bisharp


close-up fighting could put Emboar at a disadvantage.


Now, Trainers, begin!


[CONFIDENT]


GEORGIA 'Bisharp's blades could be'


'a teensy problem, don't you think?'


We'll give you the first attack.


- And then we'll-- - Use Flamethrower!


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


GEORGIA How dare you attack us


before I finish my thought?


Now, Hammer Arm.


[HAMMER ARM MOVE]


Some hands-on battling, huh?


Guillotine, go!


[GUILLOTINE MOVE]


[HAMMER ARM MOVE]


[FATIGUED]


They both made contact.


- Not bad. - You too.


Metal Sound!


[METAL SOUND MOVE]


[DISTRESSED]


Emboar is hit with Bisharp's Metal Sound.


It lowers its target's defense.


Now, Iron Head!


[IRON HEAD MOVE]


Hang in there, Emboar.


Use Flamethrower!


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


FREDDY 'Emboar uses Flamethrower


at close range.'


DON GEORGE 'Bisharp had nowhere to go.'


[PAINED]


[STUNNED]


REFEREE 'Bisharp is unable to battle.'


'Emboar wins. Which means, the victor is Bianca.'



Oh, yay. You did it. You did it.


Emboar, we won. You're the best.


It's okay. Thank you, Bisharp.


And don't forget this doesn't even count.


It isn't like we lost to a Dragon type.


FREDDY 'So Bianca is the third Trainer


heading to the semi-finals.'


'And Emboar is on a roll with back-to-back victories.'


I'll tell you, Emboar is really something.


Emboar won by brute force, its overpowering main ingredient.


DON GEORGE 'Okay, folks, on to the last


battle of round two.'


[audience cheering]


'Entering the stadium and accompanied by his'


'awe-inspiring partner, Throh!'


'Welcome the Trainer with that thrilling first round victory'


'the lonesome emperor, Montgomery!'


'Battling the budding Dragon Master with the daring hairdo'


'hailing from the Village of Dragons.'


'Welcome a Trainer who understands Dragon types'


'like few others, Iris!'


That announcer's nothing but a fool.


After all that Dragon mumbo-jumbo


no one's noticing she's not using a Dragon type.


So, how come? Do something now!


What am I going to do?


REFEREE Now, Trainers, begin!


Here we go. Use Drill Run!


[INTENT] [DRILL RUN MOVE]


Use Circle Throw.


[CIRCLE THROW MOVE]


[PAINED]


- Oh, no. - How did Throh do that?


[INCREDULOUS]


By using Excadrill's speed and power to its advantage.


FREDDY 'That's got to hurt.


Can it recover?'


'Will Excadrill be able to counter?'


You betcha. Now use Dig!


[DIG MOVE]


[VIGILANT]


Use Superpower.


[SUPERPOWER MOVE]


[PAINED]


But how? No way.


'Excadrill's been forced up out of the ground'


'by Throh's terrifying Superpower.'


DON GEORGE 'You can't help but admire


Throh's incredible strength.'


Unbelievable.


Throh's strength is totally off the charts.


Hmm, use Seismic Toss.


[ALARMED]


[SEISMIC TOSS MOVE]


[PAINED]


[STRUGGLING]


Excadrill, no!


REFEREE 'Excadrill is unable to battle.'


'Throh wins. And the victor is Montgomery.'


Hmph.


Excadrill, are you alright?


[WEAK]


[RESPECTFUL]


You were great, Excadrill.


[DISAPPOINTED]


We'll just have to train more, that's all.


'Throh's quite a force to be reckoned with.'


If Excadrill was no match for it, that's some power.


Not for my Emboar.


We're going to put that Throh in its place.


Hope Throh beats all of you.


Iris will never become a Dragon Master


with that kind of pathetic performance.


There you have it.


Our exciting second round is now over.


Next up, on the big screen


here are the semi-final round matchups.


FREDDY 'There they are!'


'And you'll catch every second of the action'


'during tomorrow's tournament.'


DON GEORGE Don't miss it. See you tomorrow.


Wow. It's you and me.


That's right. Just try and stop Emboar's momentum.


'I dare you.'


Huh?


You know what?


We're going to be the ones to finally beat Throh.


[DETERMINED] [OPTIMISTIC]


Alright. Beat them for me too.


Tomorrow's winner could be anybody's guess.


I can hardly wait to find out.


Oh, please. None of you are going to win and that's that!


NARRATOR If you think thisis


as heated up as it gets, think again.


Case in point, tomorrow's matchups.


Ash versus Montgomery


and Bianca versus Stephan.


The Clubsplosion champion will soon be decided


as the tournament continues.
