Ash walks towards the battlefield as he is going to start his gym battle with Aya, the Poison Gym Leader and also Cain's big sister.
Fern: I'm not sure who I want to lose more.
Aya: (Glares at him) Do you just hate everyone by default, or what?
Fern: Nah, just you.
Hardy: Hey, lay off o' her, mate.
Aya: No, no! It's fine, it's perfectly fine. He's right. It's not like I'm good at this. I shouldn't even bother.
Hardy: Hey, now's not the time to doubt yourself. Chin up. You're gonna rock this fight.
Aya: (Mutters) I'd be better off if everyone just left me alone.
Hardy: The challenger, Ash, faces the Leader, Aya, in a six-on-six Double Battle!
Aya: (Turns to Ash) I don't even really want to do this. I just got saddled with it.
Hardy: Either competitor can make substitutions. The battle's over when all six of either Trainer's Pokémon can no longer fight! And roll!
Aya sends out Nidoqueen and Toxapex at the same time, and Ash decides to go with Tauros and Gabite for the battle. Tauros goes with Take Down and Gabite goes with Dragon pulse, however, Toxapex manages to recover its health after the attack, and Nidoqueen blocks Tauros attack with ease. Then Nidoqueen goes for Crunch and Toxapex goes for Sludge Wave, Gabite goes for a Dig to dodge the attack, but Tauros takes a lot of damage. When Tauros goes for a Horn Attack, Nidoqueen grabs the Pokemon again. However, Tauros goes for Water Pulse, dealing damage to the Pokemon. As for Gabite, the attack causes Toxapex to be defeated, giving Ash the first win.
The third Pokemon for Aya is Venusaur, and Nidoqueen goes for Stomping Tantrum on Tauros, but it is defeated when Tauros goes for Water Pulse again. So his fourth Pokemon is Drapion. Gabite tries to go with Draco Meteor, but before the meteor can land, Drapion goes for Cross Poison and Venusaur goes for Power Whip, which causes both Pokemon to get knocked out. The next two Pokemon are Klang and Infernape. Infernape goes for Dig attack, but Drapion goes for the Fire Fang on Klang, dealing some damage, but it gets hit by Klang's Discharge and so is Venusaur. Infernape also jumps from the ground and deals a Mach Punch on Drapion, causing a lot of damage. Drapion goes for Aqua Tail, which also deals a lot of damage on Infernape. Venusaur uses Leech Seed on Klang, but Infernape goes for Flare Blitz, which knocks out Venusaur in the end.
Fern: (Thinks) Just why is this dude so strong? He is just a sore loser...
Aya sends out Salazzle as her fifth Pokemon, and it goes for Heat Wave, knocking out Klang from the battle. Ash goes for Golem, hoping for a Type advantage as it goes for Mud Bomb, however, it doesn't seem to do much damage because of the field effect. But Infernape also knocks out Drapion from the battle using another Dig.
Aya: Just finish it already, why don't you? (Sends out Dragalge)
Dragalge goes for Hydro Pump, hitting Infernape, but it causes a big mistake as Infernape's Blaze ability is activated. Golem goes for Rock Slide, causing both Pokemon to flinch, and Infernape goes for Acrobatics on Salazzle, knocking it out. While Dragalge tries to go for Hydro Pump again, Infernape and Golem go for Flare Blitz and Stone Edge at the same time, finally knocking it out of the battle.
Aya: (Sighs) So I lost. At least that means I don't have to deal with you again, I guess.
Fern: Cold. I think I woulda preferred it if Ash had bombed after all. Whatever. Later, losers! (Leaves the gym)
