Poketto monsutâ - Season 6 Episode 31

Ash and friends cross the sea to a secret island arena for Ash's rematch with Gym Leader Brawly. Ash's skills have improved since the last time, and his Corphish and Treecko make the most of the rocky and watery environment. Brawley's less-nimble Machop is down for the count, and Brawly is down to using the ponderous Hariyama. But Ash isn't the only one who's been training. Hariyama surprises Ash with new reserves of speed and endurance. Ash keeps his cool, and has Treecko Pound away at Hariyama's legs. It's enough to disrupt Hariyama's balance, and Treecko Pounds its way to victory. Brawly gives Ash the Knuckle Badge and his admiration. Most Trainers, when they rework their strategies, scrap even the parts that were worth keeping. But Ash remembered his own strengths as a Trainer, and kept his head even when things happened that he didn't expect.
