"And next, a new but old trainer Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and his partner Squirtle, fun fact about Ash he was once Primeape's old trainer and helped Primeape win the P1 Championship but then left after that," the announcer telling the crowd about Ash and Primeape, the crowd start booing Ash and throwing their food and drinks at him.

*Boo, you suck! Pokemon deserter!

Ash puts his arms up to deflect the objects from hitting his and Pikachu's face with Squirtle pushing the objects back with water gun, they make it to the ring, the crowd has stopped flinging their beverages at Ash. The arena goes black, a dark blue mist surrounds the floor, you can hear a loud ding every five-seconds, the crowd erupts as Squirtle's opponent appears from the ramp.

"And their opponent, last years runners up and almost defeated Primeape! The Johto P1 Champion Poliwrath!" The announcer shouts, the strong-looking Poliwrath runs down to the ring and jumps up with a powerful water gun aimed at the floor pushing him over the rope and landing in the middle of the ring on one knee and a fist into the ground, the Poliwrath looks up at Squirtle and squints its eyes, Poliwrath stands up and raises his arms as the crowd cheers even loudly for the Pokemon, Poliwrath is wearing a belt similar to Primeape's P1 Championship but this one is a little smaller and has blue stripes around the middle of it. Poliwrath takes his belt off and hands it to his trainer in the corner, Ash and Squirtle are staring at their opponents a little worried if they can pull this off, "all right, we can do this Squirtle," Ash says trying to reassure his partner, "remember we have speed and agility on our side, wear him out and then strike," Ash and Squirtle fist bump and nod their heads at each other as Squirtle walks to the centre of the ring meeting Poliwrath there.
