Ep 23. The Fourth Round Rumble
Ash and the gang arrive at the Pokémon sumo wrestling arena in Kinnow Island, ready to compete in the next round of the sumo conference. The competition gets more intense as the trainers get closer to the final round, and for Ash, the pressure is on to win his next match against his opponent, Koji.
Koji, a confident and experienced trainer, has a strong and powerful Ursaring as his Pokémon. Ash decides to go with his trusty Snorlax, whom he knows is a formidable opponent in the ring. The match starts off with both Pokémon sizing each other up, with Koji's Ursaring making the first move by charging at Snorlax. However, Snorlax is quick to react and counter-attacks with a body slam, sending Ursaring flying.
As the match progresses, it becomes clear that Koji is not one to be underestimated. Ursaring proves to be a worthy opponent, and keeps up with Snorlax's powerful moves. The two Pokémon go back and forth, with the crowd cheering on their respective trainers.
Just as it seems like the match will end in a stalemate, Koji commands Ursaring to use its signature move, Hammer Arm. The move is powerful, and connects with Snorlax, causing it to stumble. Sensing an opportunity, Koji commands Ursaring to use another powerful move, Close Combat.
However, Ash has faith in his Pokémon, and urges Snorlax to use its own signature move, Hyper Beam. With all its might, Snorlax unleashes the powerful attack, sending Ursaring flying out of the ring. The crowd erupts in applause as Ash is declared the victor.
As the gang celebrates their win, they are approached by a mysterious trainer, who introduces himself as Brawly. Brawly invites Ash to participate in a special tournament on a nearby island, promising tough competition and great rewards. Excited by the prospect of a new challenge, Ash accepts the invitation and sets off to prepare for the tournament.
As they arrive at the island, the gang meets Brawly's Pokémon, a strong and fierce Machoke. Ash is nervous about facing such a strong opponent, but is determined to give it his all. The tournament begins, and Ash faces off against various skilled trainers, each with their own unique strengths.
In the final round, Ash finds himself facing off against Brawly himself. The two trainers and their Pokémon engage in a fierce battle, with each one pushing themselves to the limit. It becomes clear that Brawly is a skilled and experienced trainer, and his Machoke proves to be a formidable opponent.
However, Ash refuses to give up, and pushes Snorlax to its limits. In a powerful show of strength, Snorlax manages to overpower Machoke with a devastating Hyper Beam, securing Ash's victory in the tournament.
Overcome with joy and excitement, Ash thanks Brawly for the opportunity to compete and grow as a trainer. The gang sets off on their next adventure, excited for what the future holds.
