Navel Maneuvers
Season 2, Episode 13 · Aired 1999-04-22
Synopsis
Ash finally arrives on Navel Island for his second Gym Battle. On the island, they meet Danny, the gym leader. Like the previous gym, Danny's gym is run a little differently. Instead of a battle Ash must complete a few tests. The first one involves climbing up the mountain in the center of the island. Despite having a tough time, Ash makes it to the top. Now comes the real challenge. Ash must freeze a geyser, and use it to slide back down the mountain before Danny in order to win his badge.
