===[[The Nerdlucks|The Nerdlucks/Monstars]]:===
Ash initially disliked the Monstars since they wanted kidnap the Looney Tunes for their theme park planet. He felt annoyed with the Monstars acting like bullies towards him, the Looney Tunes, Michael Jordan and his friends. Pikachu attempted to shock four of the Monstars for picking on Michael Jordan, but they were unharmed, so four Monstars mockingly remarked that Pikachu can't harm them since they're powerful, Ash lands a punch onto Pound, Bang and Bupkus's shoulders which hurts his knuckles, Ash comments how strong they are as he winces over the pain on his knuckles, Bang remarks that he got that right. Pikachu was angered when they called him weak. Ash became angry when Pound, Bang, Bupkus, and Nawt tossed his Pikachu around. Before the start of the game Pound, Bang, and Bupkus trash-talked Ash by telling him to watch his back as they threaten to crush Pikachu after the Looney Tunes which made him growl in anger. During the second half of the game Pound pinned Ash down with his muscular arm and tauntingly asked him if he thought him and his friends were gonna win, and also asked him if he was gonna cry once the monstars won the game. Ash furiously responded by saying that he wasn’t gonna cry. Later after the game, Ash found out that the Monstars were actually victims of Swackhammer's abuse and slavery. After getting rid of Swackhammer the Monstars apologized to Ash for their behavior, and he forgave them while putting aside their rivalry. The Monstars told Ash that they’d been listening to Swackhammer for too long, and that they couldn't take it anymore since he’s abused and enslaved them which Ash felt deeply sorry about. They also explained how impressed they were when PIkachu shocked Swackhammer as they’d warmed up to Pikachu, and that they no longer cared about winning. Ash talked to the Monstars gently about how wrong it was to steal the NBA players talents. They were relieved that Ash was not angry with them, Ash explained that he was worried about what was going on. In return the Monstars told Ash that he's welcome to hang with them it delights Ash so much since the Monstars are no longer bullies.  From then on, the Monstars became good friends with Ash ever since they were free from Swackhammer's abuse and slavery.
