[After sending all Gligar back to the forest]
Now we can finally relax.
[One of the Gligar flies on-screen]
GGligar
Gli. [winks and licks its lips affectionately] Gligar!
[Gligar lands on Ash and starts struggling]
Hey! Where'd you learn how to fly?!
[drags Gligar off of Ash] Why didn't you go with your friends?
GGligar
[winks and licks its lips affectionately] Gli.
I'll tell you what I think: Gligar likes Ash.
DADawn and Ash
[confused] Huh?!
[Ash gasps in amazement, then looks at his Gligar friend]
GGligar
[smiling] Gligar.
[Gligar is standing on a rock and looking at Paul nervously]
You stopped our training. Get out!
[Ash arrives]
GGligar
Gli? Gligar! [Runs to Ash, crying]
Are you all right? We were worried.
[Dawn, Brock and the other Pokémon arrive, but then Chimchar sees Paul]
[Chimchar hides while Turtwig and Pikachu greet Electabuzz]
Pika, Pika. [Hello, Electabuzz]
EElectabuzz
Electa. [Hello, you lot]
Did you have your Pastoria Gym Battle Challenge yet?
I can't imagine why a losing coordinator like you would have any concern about gym battles.
I entered the Wallace Cup cos Wallace, the contest master, asked me to. He thought it would help Buizel's battle skills.
Remember the reason I entered the tag battle at Hearthome City?
Well, YOU gave ME a hard time, just because I did it to get my Pokémon in better shape for a real battle. BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU PULLED AT THE WALLACE CUP! GET IT?!
Brock, I smell a fight coming on. [The camera pans right to Brock]
When I was in that tag battle, the only thing I was thinking about was trying to win it. The only thing YOU were thinking about was how you could power up your own Pokémon.
Well, the fact is, I did win it, but you weren't able to win the Wallace Cup now, were you? Another perfect example of just how strong you aren't.
[Ash's Pokémon whimper while Dawn and Brock just glare at Paul]
[laughs] That’s Turtwig for you.
Yeah! [notices Gligar isn't there] Huh? Hey, where’d Gligar go? I’ll find out.
[eating] Croa... croa... croa...
[calling out] Hey, Gligar, come here!
GGligar
[appears above Ash] Gli!
Huh? [notices Gligar just as he lands on him] Ugh! [Gligar gets off of Ash] Why’d you do that?
GGligar
[uses X-Scissor on the ground] Gli! Gli!
Oh, that’s X-Scissor. Does that mean you wanna do some battle training?
That makes sense to me... [flashback of Gligar’s battle with Paul’s Gliscor] ...especially after Gligar had that frustrating battle with Paul’s Gliscor.
[As soon as the flashback ends, once hearing this, Gligar starts crying and groaning out of depression]
Careful, you’re going to get Gligar really depressed.
Training, huh? So you wanna get stronger, right?
Awesome! We’ll get down to it right after lunch.
[Gligar and Buizel are having a stare-down]
As our heroes continue the Sinnoh region trek toward Hearthome City and Ash’s next Gym battle, we find a very motivated Gligar prompting a round of special training.
Gligar, you’re in the thick of it. Use your eyes and show that winning glare!
GGligar
[steps forward] Gli! [gasps once noticing Buizel’s evil smirk and growl]
GGligar
[tears up and starts begging] Gli, Gli, Gli...
Well, that’s not gonna work. Gligar, you can’t give up before you start.
[embarrassed] Pika, Pika.
Gligar, now! Use X-Scissor and keep it going!
GGligar
[powers up] Gligar! [uses several X-Scissors on Buizel, who dodges them easily]
Now, Buizel, use Aqua Jet!
[Buizel starts using Aqua Jet, intimidating Gligar so much that it clings onto Ash’s face, just before the Aqua Jet hits them both]
Gligar, what’s wrong with you?!
[Gligar starts looking at the ground, tearing up and squeaking]
Ash, wait. Getting mad like that will just depress Gligar even more.
[slightly annoyed] Well, yeah, but still...
Cheer up, Gligar. No need to worry. You’ll just try a little harder next time and you’ll be wonderful.
GGligar
[hugs Dawn] Gligar.
Man, I don’t want Gligar to get spoiled.
On the other hand, treating Gligar harshly isn’t going to get you very far either, right?
...Yeah. Okay, Turtwig, come out and gimme a hand! [sends in Turtwig]
Now, Turtwig. Energy Ball!
[starts forming the Energy Ball] Tur...
Gligar, if you don’t pay attention, you won’t be able to dodge.
[fires the Energy Ball at Gligar] Turtwig!
Now use Steel Wing right from where you are!
GGligar
[hesitates] Uh? [uses Steel Wing] Gli! [pauses mid-dive once meeting Turtwig’s determined glare and defensive stance] Uh! [suddenly powers down and starts babbling and spinning around]
GGligar
[turns and heads for Ash] Gligar.
Look out! [runs away with Pikachu in tow] Come on, Gligar, not over here!
Of course, NOW Gligar can fly straight as an arrow.
[pointing towards Turtwig] Your opponent’s back over there! [Gligar closes in and lands on Ash’s face] Ah! [removes Gligar from his face] What're you thinking?! [Gligar whimpers] You’re gonna have to stop crying and start toughening up. Let’s try it once more.
GGligar
Gligar! [flies off]
[From behind a bush, Team Rocket is eavesdropping the heroes]
Best wear a helmet when Gligar calls.
[laughs] I just thought of the perfect way to utilize that head-hugger.
I’m sensing a scene change.
