Synopsis

Ash arrived back at Oreburgh Gym, prepared for another contest with Roark. As the battle commenced, a swift surprise unfolded: Pikachu, with unexpected strength, felled Onix. The second round began with Ash deploying Aipom against Geodude. After a protracted and hard-fought exchange, Ash prevailed, though not without the loss of both Pikachu and Aipom before the true challenge arose – the defeat of Roark's newly evolved Rampardos.
