MEOWTH: Darkrai's been kicking it the whole time! That Twerp

better get his battle on soon or elsebang zoom!

JESSIE: All right, exactly when did you cross behind

Twerp enemy lines?

MEOWTH: Since I got a grip on that we're all

joined at the hip!

JESSIE: How so?

MEOWTH: That Twerp's beaten the pants off of us many times, but

he's getting the pants beaten off of him, so the trickle-down

theory proves we don't deserve to have pants

in the first place!

JESSIE, JAMES: Point taken!

BARRY: Darkrai is strong!

DAWN: Ash has got his hands full.

BROCK: That Darkrai is in a league of its own. This is one

really tough battle!

BROCK: Come on, Ash, you've got to overcome this somehow!

ASH: Gible, you were great! Now get a good rest.

TOBIAS: Ash!

TOBIAS: I must give credit where credit is due when it comes to

your Gible's performance.

than Darkrai, of course.

PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

ASH: It's a Latios!

POKEDEX: Latios. The Eon Pokémon. Latios is highly

intelligent, and can fly faster than a jet by

tucking in its wings.

BROCK: Just how powerful is this guy? First, he uses Darkrai,

and now it's Latios!

BARRY: Yeah, but with Sceptile's speed, Ash can definitely win!

ASH: I'm not gonna lose no matter what kind of Pokémon he

uses! Now, use Leaf Blade!

SCEPTILE: [LEAF BLADE MOVE]

TOBIAS: Latios! Use Giga Impact!

LATIOS: [GIGA IMPACT MOVE]

Sceptile was moving at quite a clip.

ASH: Sceptile, return! You battled really hard.

Now you take a good rest!

himself together and get back in the race?

PIKACHU: [WORRIED]

ASH: Pikachu! PIKACHU: [STARTLED]

ASH: You know I'm not about to give up! I say, let's show him

PIKACHU: [EXCITED] / [EXERTION]

ANNOUNCER: And Ash chooses Pikachu for his last Pokémon!

TOBIAS: I must say you've battled well so far.

You've earned my respect.

TOBIAS: But, this is our last bout.

ASH: Well, not if I can help it!

'Cause I'm winning this for sure!

TOBIAS: That's good! Let's do our best!

No one knows that better than us, if you catch my drift!
