[Teto] Love Ka? - Hiiragi Kirai
Do you know how hard it is to make a distorted SynthV sound? Very hard! Even with like, max breath and a whole ton of Real Voice Growl, it still sounded too smooth. Thanks for EQ to at least make it a bit crunchier. Remember to use an EQ in your tracks.

Johto League, Episode 4 - The Valley of Donphan
Continuing down Route 29, Ash has a most unexpected encounter: A Donphan, outside their usual spawning area! Can't miss out on this opportunity! Both Brock and Ash want to catch this Donphan, with Brock pointing out that Ash just got Heracross like five minutes ago. Ash is being selfish and not wanting to let someone else have a turn.
Brock makes the first attempt with Onix. But without the benefit of G1 Bind, Onix is something of a paper tiger. Many has been the Trainer that was convinced by Onix's size in the anime that they're. Like. Viable as a Pokemon. Only to learn of their mistake the hard way.
And Brock hasn't exactly been grinding XP since we met him. So it doesn't come as much of a surprise when Donphan, despite explicitly being a younger Donphan, is able to break through Onix's 160 Defense with Rollout, a move Onix resists. You gotta get your Pokemon above level 14, man.
Ash takes the next attempt, using this as an opportunity to try out his new Pokemon. Heracross is an interesting choice, but a perilous one. On the plus side, their Fighting subtype offsets Bug's weakness to Rock, which is important since Donphan's locked into Rollout. But in terms of stats?
Donphan is more specialized than Heracross. They're closely matched in ATK: 120 to 125 respectively. And HP is close too: 90 to 80. But Donphan's 120 Defense far exceeds Heracross's 75. Heracross sacrifices some of their Physical Defense for a high Special Defense and Speed.
All things being equal, Donphan's better suited to a prolonged slugfest with Heracross. But all things are not equal. Donphan took some damage from Onix's Tackle earlier and they're only on stage 2 of Rollout. Heracross takes some hits, but they're able to push through with Horn Attack that--
Donphan's Trainer emerges from the woods and she is pissed. Um. Whoops. Errors have been made. Hiiragi/Rochelle angrily reaffirms that wild Donphan do not spawn on Route 29. If you see a Donphan here, they belong to someone. Please do not steal people's Pokemon.
Turns out, this valley Ash has come upon is rich in the mineral agate, which the dub changes to amberite. Donphan is able to sniff out amberite like a hog to truffles. Thus, some Trainers will bring their Donphan here to dig up amberite and sell it.
Team Rocket, having lost sight of their actual jobs since the IHOP plan, devise a new plot for business entrepreneurship: Steal Rochelle's Donphan and use them to sniff up amberite and sell it. (These idiots are so bad at crime that they're inadvertently trying to go straight, through crime). XD
Rochelle's not so easily robbed, though. She has her Donphan trained on a whistle to come to her. Although this one was a young and untrained Donphan, they can also track each other down by scent. Recruiting Ash to help, Rochelle hunts down the Rockets with ease.
Ash and Misty beat up Team Rocket while Brock's Onix sucks and fails immediately. (Come on, man. You're embarrassing us in front of the Rockets.) The Rockets are sent packing, Rochelle gets her Donphan back, and Ash gets to see Donphan tracking down amberite in action! He also gets a proper Trainer Battle with a high-level Donphan.
Heracross vs. Donphan, For Real
Ash and Rochelle both stick to using basic non-STAB attacks. Lots of Tackles, Horn Attacks, and Rollouts thrown around. It's a straightforward slugfest and, as previously mentioned, Heracross is the underdog in a slugfest.
Ultimately, Donphan's slightly better HP and vastly superior Defense are just too much for Heracross to deal with. And with the building momentum of one Rollout after another, Heracross ultimately eats dirt.
Rochelle Wins!
They're both good sports about it, too. Ash is proud of Heracross, and Rochelle assures him that he has a pretty strong Pokemon; He just needs to spend more time building his rapport with them, that's all.
With that settled, Ash gets back on the road again.
