| Ash brings back Muk, Heracross and Tauros to do battle with Gary, as Gary reveals to Ash his starter Pokémon. Ash and Gary start an epic battle at the Silver Conference, a battle you must not miss... (Or) Ash is about to take on his long time rival, Gary Oak, in the next battle of the Johto League Silver Conference, and he’s determined to do everything he can to win. He stays up all night researching strategies and trying to learn more about Gary’s Pokémon. Gary has a lot of strong Pokémon, and he trains many different types, so Ash has to pick his team carefully. Gary starts out with Nidoqueen, and Ash uses Tauros. Gary wins the first round, but Ash takes the second. It’s going to be a very close match! In round three, it’s Ash’s Heracross versus Gary’s Blastoise. | ||||
