"I have almost given up finding good quotes for these things."
Score: 6/10
Trip versus Cilan. Trip talks about how he beat Chili, but Iris can't imagine Cilan losing a battle. Even though Cilan lost a battle in his first episode. Dwebble versus Gurdurr. Gurdurr gets the advantage early on and nearly cracks Dwebble's rock, so Cilan decides this is the most appropriate possible time for evaluating, and he tells Trip all about how awesome Gurdurr is, but informs him that it is sadly not as awesome as Dwebble. To prove this, Cilan has Dwebble teleport boulders from nowhere.
Gurdurr is unable to handle breaking the laws of physics, and Trip loses handily.
There's also a subplot where Bianca thinks Zorua is lost and keeps getting tricked by it turning into Georgia. LULZ SO FUNNY.
Bianca versus Stephan. He's confident in his abilities, which angers Bianca. But neither of these characters are protagonists, so we just skip directly to the end of the battle between Zebstrika and Minccino, which Zebstrika wins easily. Well, Bianca, I don’t know what to tell you. That's what you get when you select your pokemon based solely on how cute they are.
Luke defeats Other Guy, and Iris defeats Jimmy Ray, the guy dressed like a Patrat. Wow, Jimmy Ray was surprisingly pointless.
Round 2 will consist of Georgia, Cilan, Luke, Iris, Stephan, Ash, Dino the Extra from Road Warrior, and some girl (watch out for her, she obviously knows what she’s doing). There’s a day before the next round, so everyone goes to the pokemon center. Ash is somehow completely surprised by Trip leaving early since there’s no longer anything for him to do here. The heroes have dinner with Stephan, but Bianca shows up and keeps trying to impress Zorua because she desperately wants it for her own. Jesus, the girl just can’t take it when cute things don’t like her.
Round 2. Georgia versus Ash, Cilan versus Luke, Stephan versus Iris, Dino the Extra from Road Warrior versus some girl. Man, how exciting to have characters face off against people whom they have absolutely no connection to whatsoever.
Ash's Snivy versus Georgia's Pawniard. Oh, uh. Yeah, that's a pokemon that exists, alright. Pawniard starts off strong, tossing Snivy around, and two minutes later Ash eventually remembers Snivy knows attract. It doesn't work, and everyone is completely surprised to learn Pawniard is female. Literally everyone. Even Dino the road warrior extra gets a moment when he’s like “WHAT?!”
A completely lucky attack launches a rock onto Pawniard's head... knife... thing, weighing it down too much to move. This allows Snivy to strike at the helpless enemy, but Georgia tricks Snivy into breaking the rock, allowing Pawniard to move again. She orders a use of guillotine, and uh you would think that if she's going to use that attack, she'd start with it but okay. Snivy is knocked on its ass, and as Georgia orders another use of guillotine, the episode ends.
