On the road to Nimbasa City, Ash and company come across a trainer named
Stephan who challenges Ash to a battle. Stephan sends out his Blitzle
while Ash sends out Oshawott. Blitzle uses Shock Wave, but Oshawott is
able to block it with his Scalchop shell. Blitzle uses Flame Charge next
and Oshawott counters with Aqua Jet. Oshawott prepares a Razor Shell
attack until Blitzle does a Double Kick, knocking the Scalchop out of
his hand. Oshawott runs off to try to find it, ending the battle
prematurely. Ash and Pikachu catch up with Oshawott who searches in a
field for the Scalchop, finding something that he believes to be his
Scalchop until it shocks him, with Ash discovering that it is a Joltick.
Next, Iris gives Oshawott an Iapapa Berry to stand in for the Scalchop.
Pikachu uses Thundershock to test it, but Oshawott is hit by the shock.
Cilan then gives Oshawott one of his serving domes, but it also does
not protect Oshawott from the shock. Cilan then sends out Dwebble and
has him craft a stone Scalchop for Oshawott. Even though it blocks
Pikachu's Thundershock, it is much too heavy for Oshawott to carry. Ash
helps Oshawott train to no luck, until later that night when Oshawott
decides to train on his own with the large Scalchop, until Ash finds him
and helps. When they meet Stephan again for the rematch, he has been
powering up Blitzle with a bike generator. When the match begins,
Oshawott is able to withstand the more powerful Shock Wave with the
stone Scalchop until it shatters. However, training with the large shell
has made Oshawott faster, and he is able to dodge Blitzle's attacks.
Oshawott and Blitzle use Aqua Jet and Flame Charge against each other,
with Oshawott winning the battle. After the match, Axew comes running up
to the group, having found the real Scalchop. Oshawott puts it back on,
happy that he and the shell are reunited, before going to sleep after
the exhausting battle.
