RRoxie
Hey, next challenger. That you? [points to Ash]
[the crowd glares at Ash. Come on, he's there for a battle just like the others.]
Whoa. Talk about one tough crowd.
I prefer to think of them as dedicated.
RRoxie
How's it going? You're looking at the Virbank Gym Leader, Roxie.
Hi, I'm Ash and I'm from Pallet Town. Nice to meet you.
RRoxie
Pallet Town? That's in Kanto!
RRoxie
And check out that Pikachu! [shows off her Koffing] This Koffing showed up while we were doing a concert in Kanto and we've been tight ever since! Koffing rules!
KKoffing
Koffing. [Nice to meet you guys.]
[Ash whips out his Pokédex. Oh come on! You saw the Koffing James used to own! Granted, the anime did not do a data entry on Koffing until now and Ash most likely needed a refresher, but still...]
UPUnova Pokédex
Koffing, the Poison Gas Pokémon. Koffing hovers in the air, thanks to the poisonous gases it contains, which have a foul odor and can explode.
RRoxie
It's great when Koffing explodes at our gigs! The audience can never get enough!
Whoa. Guess everything's poisonous around here.
But what do you mean by concert?
RRoxie
Get with it. We're one of Unova's most popular punk bands, so give it up for Koffing and the Toxics! [So what was Roxie's band original name was before obtaining a Koffing?] Virbank's Gym is not just a Gym. We jam here all the time and all our fans come out and support us cuz they're totally into battles and great tunes!
[With Roxie's Scolipede out of the match...]
Only one Pokémon left, Roxie. Three against one.
BJBilly Jo
I wouldn't be so cocky, if I were you. Look. [Pignite is still poisoned and is taking damage.] You're Pignite is not exactly having a party.
RRoxie
Here, a present. [tosses a Pecha Berry for Pignite to eat.] Everything's cool. It's a Pecha Berry.
Why would Roxie give Pignite a Pecha Berry when she knows it cures poisoned Pokémon?
[Luckily, Pignite is now cured from its poisoned state.]
PPignite
Pignite. [Much better.]
RRoxie
It wouldn't be any fun battling against a poisoned opponent when my third Pokémon energy level is at 120%. This is rock and roll and you gotta pay hard to play hard! [Remember, Roxie is also a punk rock star and has to put on a good show especially during Gym Battles, hence why she gave Pignite a Pecha Berry. Wonder if she does this stunt with other challengers?]
[Iris, Cilan and Axew are revealed to be wearing face-paint and colorful panchos]
Don't give up! You can't give up! Let's go! You're just getting started!
Axew-ew! [Get moving, Ash!]
She's right! It's time for you to stir the stockpot! Win this with some of Ash spirit! [Both Iris and Cilan hit the drums as loud as they could]
Cilan, Iris, Axew. Okay, we're gonna battle til the very end!
RRoxie
That's your choice. Use Venoshock!
[Garbodor complies only to get paralyzed by the electrocution! You know what that means...]
BJBilly Jo
It's paralyzed?!
NNicky
Yo, what's going on?!
What's going on is Static!
Pikachu's Special Ability is Static. Garbodor became paralyzed when it hit Pikachu with Double Slap.
RRoxie
Arrggh! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Get a grip, Garbodor! [Like that's going to help Garbodor out of his paralysis, Roxie.]
