Ash is about to take on Roxanne, the leader of the Rustboro City Gym. He's going to need all the help he can get to take down her Rock-Type Pokmon. May, on the other hand, isn't really looking forward to the battle. She then announces that she's not going to compete in gym battles. She wants to become a Pokmon Coordinator and compete in contests instead. Ash and friends arrive at the Rustboro Gym and Ash is ready to battle. But will Pikachu's Iron Tail be enough to win him his first Hoenn League Badge?moreless
Awestruck episode! The battle between Geodude and Treecko was too plain simple. However, I enjoyed the intense battle between Nosepass and Pikachu because it was proved to be a difficult match. I even was surprised Nosepass was paralyzed from Zap Cannon. But I'm glad the battle wasn't too much advanced as it's only the beginning for Ash.
The two songs that played during the battle were both from Pokemon games. The first was the music during your battle with the R/S Elite Four. The second was from the battle with your rival in R/B/Y.
