Showdown In Pewter CityAsh and Misty arrive in Pewter City, where Ash challenges the local Gym Leader, Brock, to try to win a badge from him. Pikachu easily gets beaten by Brock's Onix, a huge rock serpent, and he leaves the Gym with disappointment. Flint, a man that Ash met outside Pewter City, shows him that Brock is a very good Pokemon Trainer, but he can't participate in any championships because he has to stay and take care of his ten brothers and sisters. With Flint's help, he manages to super-charge Pikachu, and they challenge Brock again.During the battle, Pikachu's electrical attacks accidentally set fire to the rafters and turns on the sprinkler system. Water makes Rock-Element Pokemon weak, but Ash refuses to defeat Brock, since he says that it's not fair that the sprinklers turned on. With Misty following behind them, Ash and Pikachu leave Pewter City, but Brock catches up to him and offers him the Boulder Badge as a token of good Pokemon training. Flint is revealed as being Brock's father, and he promises to take care of his children while Brock goes out in the world with Misty, Pikachu and Ash. Oh, and if anyone was wondering about that trap that Team Rocket tried to set for our heroes? Well, they fell into it, and they manage to get out at the end. After a very long time after the episode lol ^_^
