Ash boggled. Leaving out the fact that he'd never do something like that, the idea that he'd be able to intimidate creatures who had the kind of power his Pokemon did was ridiculous. "How can I possibly intimidate them? I'm a fourteen-year-old kid. Pikachu can Thunderbolt me. Gible can bite me or hit me with a Draco Meteor. And that's not even getting into what the others can do. Charizard's Flamethrower, Sceptile's Bullet Seed, Oshawott's Razor Shell, Heracross's Hyper Beam. If they really had a problem with anything I do, they're more than able to do something about it."
