JE050: Two Hits and a Miss

Synopsis
While on their way to Ecruteak City Ash and the gamg encounter a trainer whose Tauros is out of control. When Ash tires to stop it with his Bulbasaur an old man is impressed with his skill. He introduces himself as Kenzo and takes him to his dojo. There they meet Chigusa, his granddaughter, who only focuses on her moves rather than power, which Kenzo sees as ridiculous. He then announces that Ash will be the new Shihan of the dojo, but Chigusa won't take that lying down. Then a challenger named Shiro challenges Kenzo but Chigusa takes his place. After an interruption by Team Rocket, Shiro decides to postpone the battle until tomorrow. Can Chigusa be able to see the flaw in her battle style? And will she be able to prove to her gandfather she is worthy of being Shihan?
