He also yells at her when she doesn't quite grasp that she would've lost her first battle against Shiro had Team Rocket not crashed the party.

!!Japanese Title: ''Kapoerer VS Fushigidane! Hand to Hand Showdown!!''
!!!Original Airdate: September 28th, 2000
!!!US Airdate: September 15th, 2001
On the way to Ecruteak, a renegade Tauros dashes past our heroes. Seeing an old man in Tauros's path, Ash and Bulbasaur battle the break-away beast. The old man is impressed with Ash's skill and asks him to come to his dojo. Ash quickly realizes the old man is looking for a new Shihan (master teacher) to take over, but the old man's granddaughter believes she will inherit the dojo, even though her method of training has more to do with fitness than fighting. Who will be selected as Shihan?
