[to Bulbasaur] Now throw Lairon with all your might.
[May's Bulbasaur uses Vine Whip on Lairon]
MSMay's Bulbasaur
Bulbasaur!
SSavannah
Send Shockwave now!
LLairon
Lai.... [Uses Shockwave on May's Bulbasaur] ...ron!
MSMay's Bulbasaur
Bulbasaur!
So that's it. Who'd have expected Lairon to use electric attacks?
[The camera cuts to Sandra, Ash, Pikachu, Max and Brock who among the audience watching the R1 Rubello Town Pokémon Contest]
Max': But Bulbasaur's a grass-type, so how could electric-type attacks have any effect against it?
SSandra
Just wait, you'll see in a second. [The camera cuts to Lairon who is still using Shock Wave on May's Bulbasaur] That's the whole reason why Lairon didn't dodge Vine Whip.
MSMay's Bulbasaur
Bulba! [Becomes paralysed]
Bulbasaur, you've got to get up!
[The camera cuts to Ash and the others]
It's paralysed for real this time.
But Shock Wave doesn't paralyse enough an opponent, only it stuns them.
SSandra
That's right. Since the two of them were directly connected by Bulbasaur's Vine Whip, then the attack had a much greater effect. That was another one of my ideas for mom.
SSavannah
I've got to hand it to her. That attack was beautiful and effective, just like Sandra said it would be.
[to her Bulbasaur] Come on, don't give up. [The sparks disappear from Bulbasaur's body] Huh?
It's obvious Bulbasaur has taken a lot of damage. Will May be able to recoup in time?
SSavannah
Metal Claw, Lairon! Go!
LLairon
Lairon! Lairon! [Uses Metal Claw on Bulbasaur]
[The contest judges give three X's]
[appears from the right side of the screen] Bulbasaur is out of the battle, and Savannah continues on to the final round!
Hey wait, I'm not done fighting!
Where's your concern for your Pokemon's health, May?!
That is a coordinator's Number 1 priority, not winning.
SMr Sukizo
By now, you should know that.
[May is upset by what the judges have just said to her, as is everybody else]
[Ash and his friends are walking along with Spoink who has nothing on its head]
As soon as Spoink sees anything round, it gets all excited and just plops it up on its head.
I can understand Spoink's excitement, but still...
[They meet an Electrode]
Wait, that's not your pearl.
EElectrode
Elec... [Gets carried by Spoink's psychic power and lands on its head] ...trode.
[Ash and his friends try to remove Electrode from Spoink's head]
Don't mess with this one.
EElectrode
Electrode. [Uses Explosion and sends everyone flying]
That's an Explosion attack gone awry!
[Soon, Ash and his friends are bushed]
This is gonna be a lot harder than I thought.
[They see Spoink's pearl]
Hey, is that it? [Picks up Spoink's pearl] This is it, guys. [The pearl glows and floats back to Spoink's head]
Now do you feel better, Spoink?
SSpoink
Spoink. [Jumps off joyfully] Spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink.
TTorkoal
[crying] Torrrkooaaalll!
Torkoal's obviously happy.
Imagine if it didn't find its pearl.
SSpoink
Spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink.
Careful, you don't lose it again, OK?
AFAsh & Friends

There's plenty more where that came from.
It's not changing color it's showing its true color!!!

Forretress, Lombre, Mudkip!
[they start singing the song: You and me and Pokémon]
[Winona had just recalled her Altaria having lost to Ash's Grovyle despite a type advantage]
I must say, your strategy was excellent. You caught me completely off guard!
Gee, thanks Winona! But I'm not gonna forget that this match has just only gotten started!
That's true and don't think I part with my badges from my gym that easily!
