Ketchum also cites two insects that have had Pokémon directly based on them, Heracross and Butterfree respectively, both of which Ketchum has caught.) (Darwin tested his theories by performing vivisections and dissections of different insects, such as beetles and butterflies, and Ketchum says he is not affected by this fact. I don't care how many beetles and butterflies you squoosh! Ketchum makes a play on his name, using the "sh" portion of his first name to tell Darwin he shouldn't try to rap.)
("Shush" is typically used to tell someone to be quiet. ' Cause I'm Ash! And that's A to the "shush"! Charizard is a powerful Fire-type Pokémon, so he uses his name to say he plans to burn Darwin.) Ketchum opening his pockets would mean letting out his Pokémon, one of which is a Charizard. (Pokémon is short for "pocket monsters", as they fit within one's pockets when inside of a Poké Ball. Open my pockets and go (Charizard!) on your ass! Electric-type Pokémon are commonly faster than most other types, so Ketchum says his raps are much faster in flow than Darwin's.) Ketchum says this as he is the first to rap and associates his raps as being quick like lightning. (In Pokémon games, the Pokémon with the higher speed stat is usually the one that uses its move first. Got the highest speed stat, drop raps lightning fast, Darwin is deceased in real life, essentially making him a ghost thus, Ketchum plans to "catch" Darwin, or "own" him, meaning to beat him in a rap battle.) He would later catch a Gengar during his global journies across the Pokémon world. At the time of the battle's release, Ash had never officially caught a Ghost-type Pokémon, the closest to owning one being when he got a Haunter to accompany him from Lavender Town to Saffron City before it left him. (Ketchum says that even though it seems easy to win, it will still be fun for him to beat Darwin.
Ketchum parodies this to say Darwin isn't a challenge for him.)īut this should be fun! I've yet to catch the Ghost type! (" would like to battle!" is one of the various phrases used during the start of Pokémon Trainer battles in the video games.
Darwin wants to battle? Doesn't seem like a fight,
