Ep 10. Another one Gabites the Dust

Ash and his friends continue their journey through the Sinnoh region and stumble upon a group of Gabites. While observing the Gabites, they notice that one of them seems to be weaker and smaller than the others. This Gabite is constantly picked on by the others and is unable to hunt or keep up with the group.

Ash and his friends decide to help the weaker Gabite, but they quickly realize that it is not going to be an easy task. The other Gabites do not take kindly to outsiders and hostile battles ensue. During the battles, the weaker Gabite tries its best to fight back but is quickly overpowered by the others. Ash and his friends step in to try and stop the fighting but are also targeted by the angry Gabites.

As the chaos continues, a mysterious figure appears and commands the Gabites to stop. It is then revealed that the figure is a trainer who has been observing the Gabites for some time. The trainer explains that the weaker Gabite is actually its own Pokémon and it is meant to be smaller and weaker than the others. It is a runt of the litter and is constantly picked on because of its size.

The trainer offers to take the weaker Gabite under their wing and train it to become stronger. The Gabites initially protest, but eventually agree to let the weaker Gabite go. Ash and his friends bid farewell to the Gabites as the trainer takes the weaker Gabite away.

Later on, Ash and his friends come across the trainer again who is now in the middle of training the weaker Gabite. The Gabite has grown stronger and is able to hold its own against the others. The trainer thanks Ash and his friends for their help and allows them to watch as the Gabite evolves into a powerful new form - Garchomp.

With its new power, the Garchomp becomes a fierce protector of its trainer and the Gabites. Ash and his friends bid farewell to the trainer and the Gabites and continue on their journey through Sinnoh, excited to see what other adventures await them.
