Poketto monsutâ - Season 17 Episode 6

After his defeat at the Hakudan City Gym, Satoshi is having doubts that he can defeat Gym Leader Viola in a rematch. But Serena reminds him that he's always been determined not to give up until it's over. This snaps Satoshi out of his self-doubt and inspires him to do some serious training with Pikachu and Yayakoma against Pansy's Onvern. Standing up to Onvern's Gust is hard work, but soon Satoshi feels like they're ready. He also has an idea about how to deal with the ice battlefield if Viola uses that trick again, but he's not telling. Since they also had trouble with Ametama's Sticky Web, Citron shows off one of his inventions: a machine that reproduces Sticky Web exactly. The machine shoots a couple of webs so Pikachu and Yayakoma can practice dodging, but when Citron tries to turn up the intensity, it blows up. Undeterred, Satoshi asks Keromatsu to throw its Frubbles to simulate Sticky Web attacks, and the team seems to be as ready for a rematch as they can be – The next day, it's obvious from the start that their intense training is paying off. Pikachu digs in with its tail to stay upright on the icy battlefield and defeats Ametama. Satoshi then sends Yayakoma out for a rematch against Viviyon, but Viola's Pokémon has another move they didn't know about: Sleep Powder. The snoozing Yayakoma can't avoid Viviyon's powerful Solar Beam, and Viola evens the score at one Pokémon each. Satoshi has to call Pikachu back in, even though it's worn out from beating Ametama. Viviyon uses Sleep Powder again–but Satoshi's voice cuts through Pikachu's sleepiness, telling it to use Electro Ball on itself. This shocking strategy wakes Pikachu up so it can defeat Viviyon with a final Thunderbolt, and Satoshi wins the match and the Bug Badge. Pansy suggests the Shoyo City Gym for their next destination, and after a few farewells, Satoshi, Citron, and Eureka head off–along with Serena, who isn't yet sure where she's going.
