209. Machoke, Machoke Man


The gang is on the boat with Jenina. They get the medicine for Sparkle. Jenina gets the medicing and brings it to Jasmine. The gang stayes so they can get a badge. They go to look for a gym when they see a Machoke practice fighting its trainer.

They fight well. The trainer is trying to train it. It is going really well. Machoke uses a really good submission attack and it "knocks him out." He is very proud of the machoke. The trainer says that the submission attack was perfect. He wasnt hurt at all. The trainer asks why Ash is in town, he figures hes looking for the gym. The trainer makes Ash march to the gym. The trainer comes up all tried. A lot of people and Pokemon come out and say "Welcome Back Master." He is the gym leader! His name is Chuck. They eat so they can be strong. A girl says that Ash wont have any trouble beating her "flabby" hisband.

Team Rcoket is hungry and walking the streets. Meowth smells food so they follow the smell. Meanwhile the gang is so full. Brock says that is is Pokemon Power food, it strengthens the Pokemon. Chuck challenges Ash. Its a 2 on 2 battle. Chuck is gonna use Machoke and Poliwrath. First he sends out Politwrath. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt but it dodges it twice and then gets hit. It isnt hurt much. Pikachu uses quick attack. Poliwrath uses double slap and knocks out Pikachu. Team Rocket is looking into the gyms cafeteria, they find the food and eat it all.

Back at the match, Ash is deciding who he should use. He sends out Bayleef. Poliwrath uses something but bayleef dodges it. Razorleef hits Poliwrath and so does vine whip. Poliwrath looks bad. Bayleef uses body slam. Poiwrath is knocked out! Chuck recalls it and sends out Machoke. Chuck tells it to use Karate Chop attack, but it uses it on Chuck. Brock says that he is just practicing up. Ash decides to do it too. he tells Bayleef to give him a body slam and suprisingly Ash can withstand it.

Team Rocket is now very full. They are laying on the ground when Chuck's wife asks is she can help them. They do their motto, she stops them mid-way and tells them they can help with the chores. She says that it will help them work up an appetite for afternoon snakc, so they do it.

At the battle again Machoke and Bayleef use assorted attacks. Machoke hits batleef and it gets knocked to the ground. It uses Vine Whip on Machoke and they both try to pull the other to them. Brock says it should put some slack into the vine whip, but Ash doesnt listen. Machoke uses submission on it. Bayleef uses vine whip again and throws Machoke hard against the ground. It then uses Body Slam followed by a razor leef. Machoke is knocked out! Ash and Bayleef win! Chuck is still very proud of Machoke. Chuck gives him the Storm Badge and says that Ash will do great in the Johto league. On the phone Ash talks ot Jenina but she says that Sparkle isnt fealing beter yet. He will have to wait a little longer. Chuck and his wife say they they should check out the Whirl Islands. They decide to go since he cant battle Jasmine yet.

Team Rocket is sitting on the back porch. They are happy how the day went because they got a lot of good foods.

Ash and the gang get the boat for the Whirl Islands while Chuck and his wife wave goodbye. Ash, Misty, and Brock are really excited about going to the Whirl Islands. Misty wants to see some cool water Pokemon, Brock hopes there are some pretty girls there, and Ash and Pikachu just wanna see the mysteriou Pokemon. What will the gang encounter in the Whirl Islands?
