Kip. 39: Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!

39

It is the time! After having battled his way back into the Great Class and hearing that Bea is in the Johto Region, Ash heads out to challenge her once again. At the Cianwood City Gym, headed by Ash's former opponent Gym Leader Chuck, Ash faces Bea, with Pikachu and Riolu vs. Bea's Grapploct and Hitmontop to avenge their previous defeat. Pikachu takes down Hitmontop but is brutally defeated by Grapploct. Now it is a rematch with Riolu facing Grapploct; however, this time Ash and Riolu have a strategy in mind. No matter the outcome, Ash has a new rival! (Source: Wikipedia)
