The Double Trouble Header - Recap

Ash, Misty and Brock are on their way to Violet City where ash is planning on challenging the gym leader there. As they are traveling, they are talking about how they got to see a Totodile and a Cyndaquil and they wish they could have seen a Chikorita too. Just then, they spot a young girl named Casey who appears to be a baseball fan. She has a Chikorita and Ash scans it with his Pokédex. A wild rattata appears and Casey tells Chikorita to use Tackle. Chikorita charges foward but rattata jumps to the side and the Tackle attacks misses. Casey calls for another Tackle and this time it connects. Rattata is knocked out and Casey captures it with a Pokéball. She and Chikorita do a victory dance and then she spots Ash. She runs up to him and tells him that she loves his pikachu. She is a fan of the Electabuzz baseball team and likes any Pokémon that is yellow and has stripes. She takes pikachu in her hands and tells pikachu to shock her because she always wanted to know what it felt like. Ash warns her that it is a bad idea and before he can get pikachu away, pikachu shocks both of them. Casey then tells the group how she loves baseball and that her entire family loves the Electabuzzes. Ash then tells her how the Electbuzzes stink and that they would get crushed by teams like the Magicarps and the Starmies. Casey gets really angry and challenges Ash to a Pokémon battle. Ash tells her that she is only a rookie and that he is an expierenced trainer and that he would crush her. She doesn’t care and tells Ash to make it a 3 on 3 battle.

First, she sends out pidgey and Ash sends out charizard! Pidgey uses quick attack but it just bounces right off of charizard. Charizard then proceeds to blow air through his nostrils and that blows pidgey away. Next, Casey sends out her recently caught rattata out. She has it use tackle and it just bounces right off of charizard and is knocked out. Casey is really angry and then sends out chikorita. She has it use vine whip around charizard’s neck. Ash tells charizard to use flamethrower but to “go easy on it.” Charizard shoots out a little fireball which sets the little leaf on chikorita’s head on fire. Chikorita runs around and then is knocked out.

Casey is really sad that she lost and when Ash tries to shake her hand, she runs away. She keeps on running until she bumps into team rocket. They are dressed up in Electabuzz uniforms and tell her that she did a good job and that she should have won.

They also tell her that Ash cheated, this gets her really angry and she goes back to fight Ash again. This time they are battling on a baseball field. Casey is really angry and sends out chikorita and Ash sends out pikachu. She has chikorita use tackle and this hits pikachu. Then she has it use sweet scent, this attack makes pikachu really calm and chikorita hits pikachu with another tackle. Pikachu then uses thunderbolt but it does not affect chikorita.

All of the sudden a swinging bat on treads pops up and hits a grandslam with pikachu and chikorita. They go over the fence and then team rocket has them. They send out a lot of pitching machines and they start to throw balls and Casey and Ash. Ash tells her that Pokémon battles are like baseball and that you should never give up. Casey regains confidence and sends out pidgey and rattata. Ash sends out bulbasaur and squirtle. They all start hitting the balls back at team rocket and they are getting hit. Rattata uses tackle and it hits james in the stomach. Then pidgey hits james it the face and he drops pikachu and chikorita. Then, Casey has chikorita use razor leaf and pikachu uses thunderbolt. Then, pikachu and chikorita both hit them with a tackle attack and team rocket is defeated. Casey realizes that she has to take the ups with the downs and that she should keep on trying. She tells Ash that maybe they will meet in the Johto Leaque and she looks foward to it. Ash says that she will become a great trainer and that next time they battle it will not be so easy.
