The ultimate showdown: Ash’s Heracross vs. Gary’s Blastoise

Regardless of the outcome, both Trainers have the utmost faith in their Pokemon.

It all came down to this: Ash Ketchum vs. Gary Oak

Ash is all fired up, while Gary seems to be more collected.

Just because you’re rivals doesn’t mean you can’t hang out together

Ash and Gary have their differences, but they still enjoy each other's company.

Ash and Gary are shorties compared to Misty and Brock

At least they're considered tall when standing next to Pikachu or Togepi.

Gary’s motto: Don’t dwell on the past

And keep moving forward.
