>In contrast for one of Ash's legitimate badges, which also got interrupted by team rocket, the battle was resumed with Koga.>The other legitimately earned badges came from Lt Surge and Blaine which had no team rocket interference. They are about as close as you can get to normal gym battles.>Ash got his badge from Erika because of team rocket's meddling and Ash saving pokemon.>Ash got his badge from Sabrina for making her laugh because of a Haunter.>Ash took a badge from Giovanni's gym even though the acting gym leaders, Jessie and James, were blasted off.>Ash got a badge from Brock, that he initially refused, and didn't want to earn as it would have been from an unfair way of beating Brock's gym. But Brock Insisted. So that episode, When Regions Collide, shows Brock has had a change of thought about that.
