Summary

English Official Summary

On their way to the Virbank City Gym, our heroes are surprised to come across several Trainers who are still reeling from their defeat at the hands of the Gym Leader, Roxie, who specializes in Poison-type Pokémon. With Cilan’s help, Ash discovers the Gym in an underground music club, where Roxie is the leader of the punk-rock trio known as Koffing and the Toxics. Roxie accepts Ash’s challenge, on one condition: she wants him to use all six of his Pokémon against her team of three! Ash is a little unsure about this, but she assures him that he’ll appreciate the numbers advantage. He agrees, and the unusual battle begins—in front of a crowd of rowdy fans and with plenty of musical accompaniment! First up, it’s Roxie’s Koffing versus Ash’s Boldore. But, as the losing Trainers warned, Roxie proves to be extremely powerful and resourceful, and Boldore is quickly eliminated. Ash sends out his Unfezant next, hoping a Flying type will be able to keep up with Koffing’s incredible speed—but it’s just not enough, and Unfezant is knocked out. Ash’s third Pokémon is Leavanny, much to everyone’s surprise—as a Grass-type Pokémon, it’s at a disadvantage against Poison-type foes. But Ash has a strategy this time, and he directs Leavanny to wrap Koffing up with a String Shot and reel it in for a close-range Energy Ball. Koffing is finally eliminated, and Roxie is one Pokémon down! Next, she sends out her Scolipede, and it uses Toxic to send Leavanny reeling! Will Ash be able to recover from this poisonous assault and win his eighth Gym badge?

French Official Summary

En chemin vers l'Arène d'Ondes-sur-Mer, nos héros sont surpris de rencontrer plusieurs Dresseurs traumatisés par leur défaite cuisante contre la Championne d'Arène Strykna, spécialisée dans les Pokémon Poison. Grâce à l'aide de Rachid, Sacha découvre que l'Arène est en fait une salle de concert en sous-sol. Strykna, quant à elle, est la chanteuse d'un groupe de rock punk connu sous le nom de Smogo et les Toxiques. Strykna accepte le défi de Sacha à une seule condition : elle veut qu'il utilise ses six Pokémon pour combattre contre trois des siens. Sacha n'est pas très enthousiaste mais Strykna lui assure qu'il aura bien besoin d'avoir l'avantage du nombre. Notre héros accepte et un combat inhabituel commence, dans le boucan d'une musique tonitruante et devant une foule d'admirateurs. C'est d'abord le Géolithe de Sacha qui doit affronter le Smogo de Strykna. Mais comme l'avaient affirmé les Dresseurs perdants, Strykna s'avère être une adversaire extrêmement puissante et pleine de ressources. Géolithe est rapidement éliminé. Sacha choisit alors son Déflaisan, dans l’espoir qu'un Pokémon Vol puisse gérer l'incroyable vitesse de Smogo. Mais ce n'est pas suffisant et Déflaisan est vaincue à son tour. À la grande surprise de tous les spectateurs, Sacha appelle alors Manternel, un Pokémon Plante, qui sera donc désavantagé par rapport à un Pokémon Poison. Mais cette fois, Sacha a une stratégie en tête. Il ordonne à Manternel de capturer Smogo avec Sécrétion puis de l'attirer vers lui, et enfin de lancer Éco-Sphère à bout portant. Smogo est enfin éliminé et Strykna a donc un Pokémon de moins ! Elle appelle alors son Brutapode, qui lance une redoutable attaque Toxik sur Manternel ! Sacha résistera-t-il à cet assaut empoisonné, et remportera-t-il son huitième Badge d'Arène ?

German Official Summary

Unsere Helden sind etwas überrascht, als sie auf ihrem Weg zur Vapydro-Arena mehreren traurigen (2.F: aufgelösten) Trainern begegnen. Sie alle haben gegen die Arenaleiterin Mica verloren, die sich auf Gift-Pokémon spezialisiert hat. Mithilfe von Benny findet Ash kurz darauf die Arena von Vapydro City, die sich in einem unterirdischen Musikclub befindet! Mica ist nämlich auch die Frontfrau eines Punk-Rock-Trios, das unter dem Namen „Smogon und die Toxics“ bekannt ist. Sie nimmt Ashs Herausforderung zum Kampf an, stellt allerdings eine Bedingung: Sie möchte, dass Ash mit all seinen sechs Pokémon gegen drei ihrer Pokémon antritt! Ash zögert zunächst und überlegt, ob er Micas Angebot annehmen soll. Diese versichert ihm jedoch, dass er den Vorteil, mit seinem Team in der Überzahl zu sein, im Kampf noch schätzen lernen würde. Ash willigt schließlich ein und ein äußerst ungewöhnlicher Kampf beginnt – vor einem begeisterten Publikum und mit Konzertuntermalung! Als Erstes tritt Micas Smogon gegen Ashs Sedimantur an. Mica bestätigt, was die Trainer, die gegen sie verloren haben, behaupteten: Sie ist in der Tat extrem stark und sprüht vor Einfällen. Sedimantur scheidet im Handumdrehen aus. Ash kämpft jedoch unbeirrt weiter, denn er hofft, dass es ein Flug-Pokémon mit Smogons unglaublicher Geschwindigkeit aufnehmen kann. Fasasnob ist jedenfalls nicht schnell genug und verliert den Kampf. Ashs drittes Pokémon ist Matrifol. Als Pflanzen-Pokémon ist es Gift-Pokémon gegenüber im Nachteil, was zu Verwirrungen führt. Aber diesmal hat sich Ash eine Strategie zurechtgelegt! Mit Matrifols Fadenschuss wickelt er Smogon ein, zieht es an den Fäden zu Matrifol und greift es so aus nächster Nähe mit Energieball an. Smogon kann nicht mehr weiterkämpfen und Mica hat somit endlich ihr erstes Pokémon verloren! Sie entscheidet sich, mit ihrem Cerapendra weiterzukämpfen, das sofort mit Toxin angreift. Matrifol beginnt zu wanken! Wird sich Ash von diesem giftigen Angriff noch einmal erholen und seinen achten Arenaorden gewinnen?

Italian Official Summary

Facendo tappa al Centro Pokémon prima di raggiungere la Palestra di Zondopoli, i nostri eroi incontrano una serie di Allenatori sonoramente sconfitti dalla Capopalestra Velia, specializzata in tipi Veleno. In seguito, con l’aiuto di Spighetto, Ash scopre che la Palestra è una sala concerti sotterranea, dove Velia e la sua band punk-rock, i Koffing e i Gas Tossici, si esibiscono regolarmente. Velia accetta la sfida di Ash, ma a una condizione: vuole che il ragazzo usi tutti e sei i suoi Pokémon, mentre lei ne avrà solo tre in squadra! Ash è titubante, ma lei gli assicura che è meglio così e lui accetta. La lotta ha inizio sotto gli occhi di una folla di ammiratori e con tanto di accompagnamento musicale. I primi a scontrarsi sono il Koffing di Velia e il Boldore di Ash, ma, come gli altri Allenatori avevano raccontato, Velia si rivela estremamente potente e capace, e Boldore viene presto eliminato. Ash, allora, sceglie Unfezant, sperando che un tipo Volante riesca a tener testa alla straordinaria velocità di Koffing. Gli sforzi del Pokémon, però, non sono sufficienti e anche lui viene sconfitto. Il terzo Pokémon scelto da Ash è Leavanny (un tipo Erba, quindi in svantaggio contro un tipo Veleno). Ash, questa volta, ha una strategia in mente e ordina a Leavanny di bloccare Koffing con Millebave e di attirarlo a sé per poi colpirlo con Energipalla da distanza ravvicinata. Quando Koffing non è più in grado di lottare, Velia si ritrova con un Pokémon in meno! La ragazza sceglie allora Scolipede, che colpisce subito l’avversario con Tossina. Riuscirà Ash a riprendersi da questo attacco velenoso e a vincere la sua ottava Medaglia?

Finnish Official Summary

Matkallaan Virbankin salille, sankarimme törmäävät yllättäen useisiin kouluttajiin, jotka kärsivät tappion Roxielle, myrkkytyyppeihin erikoistuvalle salijohtajalle. Cilanin avulla Ash löytää salin maanalaisesta musiikkiklubista, jossa Roxie johtaa punk-trioaan, Koffing ja Toksiset. Roxie hyväksyy Ashin haasteen yhdellä ehdolla: hän haluaa että Ash käyttää kuutta pokémonia hänen kolmeaan vastaan! Ash on hieman varuillaan ajatuksesta, mutta Roxie vakuuttaa Ashin siitä että hän tarvitsee lukumääräedun. Ash suostuu ja erikoinen ottelu alkaa kurittomien fanien edessä ja musiikin soidessa taustalla! Ensimmäiseksi kohtaavat Roxien Koffing ja Ashin Boldore. Mutta, kuten tappion kärsineet kouluttajat varoittivat, Roxie osoittautuu äärimmäisen vahvaksi ja nokkelaksi, ja Boldore poistuu nopeasti pelistä. Ash laittaa seuraavaksi peliin Unfezantin, toivoen lentotyypin pysyvän uskomattoman nopean Koffingin perässä, mutta se ei riitä! Unfezant tyrmätään myös. Ashin kolmas Pokémon on Leavanny, kaikkien yllätykseksi, sillä ruohotyyppinä se on alakynnessä myrkkytyyppiä vastaan. Mutta Ashilla on taktiikkansa ja hän käskee Leavannyn sitoa Koffing String Shotilla ja kelata se lähemmäksi Energy Ballia varten. Koffing poistuu vihdoin kentältä ja Roxiella on yksi pokémon vähemmän! Seuraavaksi Roxie tuo peliin Scolipeden ja sen tekemä Toxic tiputtaa Leavannyn kanveesiin! Nouseeko Ash tästä myrkkyhyökkäyksestä voittamaan kahdeksannen salimerkkinsä?

Russian Official Summary

По пути в гим Вирбанк Сити, наши герои с удивлением встречают тренеров, которые никак не могут отойти от проигрыша гим-лидеру Рокси. Она специализируется на ядовитых покемонах. Оказывается, что гим – это неформальный рок-клуб, а Рокси – лидер панк-рок группы. Рокси соглашается сразиться с Эшем, но с одним условием. Эш использует шесть покемонов, а она – всего три. Сначала Эш не уверен, что готов принять такие условия, но она убеждает его в том, что это преимущество для него будет не лишним. В итоге Эш соглашается, и битва начинается под громогласные крики толпы и тяжёлую музыку! Сначала встречаются Коффинг Рокси и Болдор Эша. Рокси кажется почти непобедимой, и Болдор быстро проигрывает. Тогда Эш вызывает Анфезанта в надежде, что летающий тип сможет справиться с Кофингом. Но и он быстро уступает. Третий покемон Эша – Ливанни – травяной тип. Следовательно, он не обладает преимуществом над Коффингом. Все удивлены таким выбором. Но план Эша срабатывает. Ливанни обворачивает Коффинга липкой нитью, а потом использует против него энергетический шар. Коффинг, наконец, проигрывает. Тогда Рокси выбирает Сколипита, он использует яд, и Ливани выбывает из боя. Сможет ли Эш наверстать отставание и заработать свой восьмой гим-значок?

Dutch Official Summary

Als onze helden op weg zijn naar de Virbank City Gym, zijn ze verrast als ze verschillende Trainers tegenkomen die aan het bijkomen zijn van hun verloren gevecht met Gym Leader, Roxie, die gespecialiseerd is in Gifsoorten. Met Cilan’s hulp, ontdekt Ash dat de Gym een ondergrondse muziekclub is, waar Roxie de bandleider is van het punkrock trio, Koffing en de Gifangels. Roxie accepteert Ash’s uitdaging, op een voorwaarde: ze wil dat hij alle zes zijn Pokémon gebruikt, terwijl zij er drie gebruikt! Ash voelt zich er niet lekker bij, maar ze verzekert hem ervan dat hij haar later dankbaar zal zijn. Hij gaat akkoord en een ongewoon gevecht begint, tegenover een menigte luidruchtige fans en met veel muzikale begeleiding! Eerst neemt Roxie’s Koffing het tegen Ash’s Boldore op. Maar zoals  de Trainers hem al hebben gewaarschuwd, laat Roxie zien dat ze extreem sterk en vindingrijk is en wordt Boldore heel snel verslagen. Ash haalt zijn Unfezant tevoorschijn en hoopt dat een Vliegsoort in staat is de ongelofelijk snelheid van Koffing bij te houden. Maar helaas wordt Unfezant ook uitgeschakeld. Ash’s derde Pokémon is Leavanny en iedereen is verbaasd, want een Grassoort is in het nadeel tegenover Gifsoorten. Maar deze keer heeft Ash een strategie uitgedacht en beveelt hij Leavanny om Koffing vast te grijpen met een Bindschot en hem daarna binnen te halen en hem een Energie Bal van dichtbij te geven. Koffing is eindelijk uitgeschakeld en Roxie is één Pokémon kwijt! Ze haalt haar Scolipede tevoorschijn en gebruikt Vergiftig op Leavanny! Zal Leavanny herstellen van de gif aanval en zal Ash zijn achtste Gym Badge winnen?

Norwegian Official Summary

På deres vei mot Virbank City Gym, blir heltene våre overrasket over å møte flere trenere som sjangler etter deres nederlag mot gymlederen Roxie, som har spesialisert seg på Gift-typer. Med hjelp av Cilan finner Ash gymmen i en underjordisk musikklubb, hvor Roxie er lederen av en punk-rock trio kjent som Koffing and the Toxics. Roxie tar imot Ash sin utfordring på en betingelse: hun vil at han skal bruke alle sine seks Pokémon mot hennes tre! Ash er litt usikker på dette, men hun forsikrer ham om at han vil sette pris på denne fordelen. Han går med på det, og den tradisjonelle kampen begynner—foran en skokk med bråkete fans og med nok av musikalske akkompagnement! Først ute er Roxies Koffing mot Ash sin Boldore. Men, som de tapende trenerne advarte om, beviser Roxie at hun er ekstremt sterk og ressursrik, og Boldore blir raskt eliminert. Ash sender så ut sin Unfezant, i håp om at en Flyve-type vil være i stand til å hanskes med Koffings utrolige hurtighet—men det er bare ikke nok, og Unfezant blir slått ut. Ash sin tredje Pokémon er Leavanny, noe som overrasker mange—siden en  Gress-type opplagt ikke er noen fordel mot en Gift-type. Men Ash har en strategi denne gangen, og han dirigerer Leavanny til å kneble Koffing med et String Shot og sveive den inn med en kortholds Energy Ball. Koffing blir til slutt eliminert, og Roxie er en Pokémon mindre! Hun sender nå ut sin Scolipede, og den bruker Toxic for å få Leavanny til å vakle! Vil Ash klare å komme tilbake etter dette giftige angrepet og vinne sin åttende Gym badge?

Swedish Official Summary

På vägen till Virbank City-gymmet blir våra hjältar förvånade, då de möter flera Tränare som fortfarande lider av sina nederlag mot Gym-ledaren Roxie, som specialiserat sig på Gift-typer. Med Cilans hjälp hittar Ash Gymmet i en underjordisk musik-klubb, där Roxie är ledare för en punk-rock-trio, kallad Koffing and the Toxics. Roxie antar Ashs utmaning på ett villkor: Hon vill att han använder alla sina sex Pokémon mot hennes lag på tre! Ash är lite osäker, men hon försäkrar honom att han kommer att uppskatta sitt numerära överläge. Han går med på det, och en ovanlig strid tar sin början, framför en tuff publik och med många musikala inslag! Först ut är Roxies Koffing mot Ashs Boldore. Men  precis som de utslagna Tränarna varnat honom för,  visar sig Roxie vara extremt stark och skicklig, och Boldore blir fort utslagen. Ash skickar då ut sin Unfezant och hoppas att en Flyg-typ ska kunna matcha Koffings enorma snabbhet, men det är inte tillräckligt och Unfezant blir utslagen. Ash tredje Pokémon är Leavanny, till allas förvåning, eftersom en Gräs-typ är en ofördelaktig matchning mot en Gift-typ. Men den här gången har Ash en strategi, och han säger åt Leavanny att fånga Koffing med String Shot och hala in den för en Energy Ball på nära håll! Koffing blir slutligen utslagen och Roxie har en Pokémon ute ur striden! Då skickar hon ut sin Scolipede som använder Toxic och gör Leavanny alldeles yr! Kommer Ash att kunna återhämta sig från alla giftiga attacker och vinna sin åttonde Gym-badge?

Danish Official Summary

På vej til Salen i Virbank City bliver vore helte forbløffede over at støde på adskillige Trænere, der stadig vånder sig efter at være blevet besejrede af Sallederen Roxie, der er specialist i Gifttyper. Med Cilans hjælp finder Ash Salen i en klub for undergrundsmusik, hvor Roxie er leder af punktrioen Koffing og Giftgasserne. Roxie tager mod Ashs udfordring på én betingelse: Han skal bruge alle sine seks Pokémon mod hendes tre! Ash får lidt kolde fødder, men hun forsikrer ham om, at han vil blive glad for den talmæssige fordel. Han indvilliger, og den usædvanlige kamp går i gang – foran et publikum af skrigende fans og masser af høj musik! I første omgang er det Roxies Koffing mod Ashs Boldore. Men som de slagne Trænere havde advaret, viser Roxie sig at være ekstremt stærk og dygtig, og Boldore er hurtigt ude af kampen. Nu sender Ash Unfezant af sted i håbet om, at en Flyvetype er i stand til at holde trit med Koffings utrolige fart – men det er bare ikke nok, og Unfezant bliver slået ud. Til alles store overraskelse er Ashs tredje Pokémon Leavanny – en Græstype står sig nemlig ikke godt mod en Gifttype. Men denne gang har Ash en strategi, og han får Leavanny til at vikle Koffing ind i et String Shot og hale den ind til en Energy Ball på tæt hold. Koffing bliver til sidst sat ud af spillet, og Roxie har mistet en Pokémon! Til sidst sender hun sin Scolipede ind i kampen, og den bruger Toxic til at slå Leavanny! Vil det lykkes Ash at komme sig efter dette giftangreb og vinde sit ottende Sal-badge?

Summary:
"In order to get his 8th badge required for entering the Isshu League, Satoshi finally passes through the gates of the Tachiwaki Gym. The Gym Leader is Homika, the vocalist in the super punk band "The Dogas", and the gym doubles as both a live venue and a battlefield! The screams of an audience that love both battles and live concerts fills the air, and Satoshi livens up the hall with a Thunderbolt from Pikachu.
Brimming with confidence, Homika makes the outrageous suggestion that Satoshi will battle with 6 Pokémon, while she will only use 3...! Homika goes with the 'Poison Gas Pokémon' Dogas, saying she got it in Kanto. Satoshi sends out Kenhallow to counter Dogas' speed, but it ends up poioned from a 'Sludge Bomb'! Following that, Homika continues her merciless poison attacks. Satoshi is about to give up, but then...!!"

The gym battles just keep getting better and better, don't they?
Only thing that annoyed what the two other band members. Not the only they just keep talking, even though they're totally useless, but they're really annoying.

Other than that, I really enjoyed that first part of the battle. Sure, most of Satoshi Pokémon got KOed, but they still fought quite well, in my opinion. And Homika sure is putting a fight in this one.
