Ep 60. A Rivalry Revival

Ash, Misty, and Brock decide to take a break from their journey to play in some friendly Pokemon battles. Ash challenges a Trainer named Jackson to a battle, and the two hit it off immediately. Jackson confesses that he has been searching for a Pokemon that he's always wanted, a Sneasel, and Ash admits that he has one in his possession.

Jackson and Ash decide to have a battle to determine who will keep the Sneasel. The battle is intense, with both Trainers displaying their skills and strategies. It's a close match, but in the end, Ash emerges victorious. Jackson is gracious in defeat and congratulates Ash on his win.

The next day, Jackson invites Ash to participate in a Pokemon race. The race is a relay, with each Trainer picking three Pokemon to participate. Ash chooses Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Charizard, while Jackson chooses Magneton, Quagsire, and Shuckle. The two teams race through a variety of terrains and obstacles, using their Pokemon's unique abilities to overcome them.

Despite their best efforts, Ash and his team fall behind. In the final stretch of the race, Charizard becomes exhausted and unable to continue. However, he is determined to finish the race and carries Ash on his back towards the finish line.

As they cross the finish line, Charizard collapses from exhaustion, but Ash and his team are declared the winners. Jackson congratulates Ash on his win, but their rivalry is far from over. Jackson is determined to become a stronger Trainer and hopes to one day defeat Ash in battle.

As Ash, Misty, and Brock continue their journey, they reflect on the bonds they've formed with their Pokemon and the friendships they've made along the way. They know that their adventures are far from over and look forward to whatever challenges lie ahead.
