pikachu: while i fail to see how pikachu can demolish a legendary like regice only to end up tieing with an elekid like 5 episodes later and then get its *** kicked completely by a raichu, pikachu has proven to be one of ashs strongest pokemon period. the only one that may be stronger is charizard, and its probably about tied with bulbasaur and squirtle. well..pikachu beat regice..maybe pauls elekid/sho's raichu were trained just as good/long as ashs pikachu and would be able to beat brandons regice too. pikachu gained some power in the last episode by battling raichu twice(and actually beating him the second time.) he will probably battle in crasher wakes, fantina and volkners gyms aswell as many league battles and battles, battles against gary/paul, hunter j and team galactic. it will probably get some training so that it can win at volkners gym and beat garys/pauls electivire. out of new attacks, it can learn feint, protect and charge beam
position: ashs powerhouse. strongest on-hand pokemon
staravia: its almost certain that it will completely evolve. it will probably surpass swellow in strenght when all is said and done. he will battle in fantinas and candice gym, league battles, rival battles, and villan battles. new attacks: roost
position: ashs strongest flying pokemon to date. surpassing pidgeot, noctowl and swellow
gligar: definatly evolving as we have already seen. as a gliscor it has the potential to become ashs strongest sinnoh pokemon(until chimchar fully evolves anyway) he will probably battle pauls gliscor and win, causing paul to release his. he will probably be the star battler in fantinas gym and the one to beat her mismagius. then it will likely get oaked and train at oaks lab. ash will use it in many league battles though. new attacks: u-turn, poison sting, sandstorm, guillotine, slash, cross poison, quick attack
position: one of ashs better reserves. he will be stronger than glalie, tauros, kingler and muk but will tie with heracross and be weaker than snorlax.
turtwig: he will probably evolve into grotle and remain in that form for a long time, then evolve again into torterra right before the series ends. he will battle in wakes, byrons, and volkners gyms, in the league, rival and villan battles. new attacks: earthquake, wood hammer.
position: ashs strongest grass type, stronger than bulbasaur, bayleef and sceptile.
buizel: i think this time all of ashs pokemon will completely evolve, so buizel will too. he will battle in the same things as all the rest of ashs pokemon aswell as wakes and byrons gym. new attacks: brine and razor wind
position: ashs strongest water type, beating kingler, corphish and squirtle.
chimchar: he will completely evolve and infernape will be around long enough to get additional extra training as a 3rd stage pokemon. he will battle the same things as ashs other 5 pokemon aswell as battling in byrons, candice and volkners gyms. new attacks: a ton of physical attacks(TON) like flare blitz and close combat and fire punch, might also learn focus blast.
position: he will be stronger than any fire type ash has on hand(torkoal, cyndaquil) his power wont reach that of charizards but it will closely rival it, training at oaks lab might close that small gap
riolu: it will definatly evolve if ash catches one, the writers like lucario pimping. his power will ofcourse be massively exaggerated and god-like. going by location of iron island, riolu/lucario will probably battle in byrons and candice gym and be the star of volkners gym he will also participate in the listed battle i put in my pikachu, gliscor , staravia and turtwig desriptions. new attacks: he will be very diverse attack-wise and probably have the same amount of attacks as pikachu, charizard and infernape(i think it will have a ton of attacks too) in the end.
position: ashs strongest reserve. beating even gliscor and snorlaxhe will become ashs 4th strongest pokemon, only after charizard, infernape, and pikachu, pushing torterra, gliscor, sceptile bulbasaur, squirtle and snorlax back
