Talking A Good Game!

Ash is finally at the Battle Tower, wanting his 6th Battle Frontier victory. However he gets chased off by a pack of Wild Beedrill and ends up meeting up with Anabel. Ash eagerly challenges Anabel to a battle, but with Anabel having strong Psychic Pokémon...Ash faces his toughest match yet.

I know a few things for sure:

-Ash uses Tauros, Pikachu, and Corphish

-Anabel uses Metagross and Alakazam

-Ash loses (YAY!)

**Flamez** · 23rd March 2006, 9:27 PM

As if we didnt already know those things Pikachu.

**Korobooshi Kojiro** · 23rd March 2006, 9:31 PM

From what I heard, Alakazam beats Corphish and Tauros, Pikachu beats Alakazam and loses to Metagross. Supposedly Anabel's other Pokemon...is Espeon..

**Kabuto** · 23rd March 2006, 9:50 PM

Espeon >_>. Thats not shown that often but Gardevoir would've been a better choice. And of course poor Tauros doesn't get any glory with a victory.

**Pikachu** · 23rd March 2006, 10:03 PM

I really hope she really does have Espeon. It will make me very happy even though her Snorlax will probably be never shown.

And it's a great thing that Anabel totally pwned Ash. This is great episode material. I also want Espeon to KO at least one of Ash' pokemon in the next episode, if she has an Espeon.

**Kabuto** · 23rd March 2006, 10:04 PM

Her Espeon is better than another Snorlax thats for sure.

**The Big Al** · 23rd March 2006, 11:01 PM

Poor Tauros got the shaft. I guess romping around and destroying Oak's fences doesn't have as much of an impact. Then Corphish got frakked as well. And of course Pikachu is the only one to get a victory before he too is flattened. It's great to see Ash isn't immortal in the Battle Frontier but this battle could have been better.

**Alfonso** · 23rd March 2006, 11:05 PM

...Espeon?

Damn Eevee Evolution. And we're going to be seeing it again much sooner, considering that Lillian has one and the dub of the Saffron Contest is coming up. :< Another pathetically wasted chance with a Pokemon that's been seen plenty of times before.

Gardevoir seriously would have been the perfect choice. I mean... she even has kinda the same hair style as Anabel. o_o

**CyberCubed** · 23rd March 2006, 11:09 PM

Now let's hope Brandon has Gardevoir...until the time comes and its shafted again!

Either that or have May face one in a Contest already, sheesh.

I think Ash is going to be using the same Pokemon in the rematch as this ep, so Tauros may get some time to shine in the next ep.

LOL. I agree. It's shafted a lot, and doesn't get any good eps.

Anyway, poor Tauros loses? It never wins huge matches! Oh well. After Pokemon The First Movie, you know what to expect after Mewtwo beat up the Tauros herd. Anyway, Pikachu wins too much. Losing to Metagross is good for it.

**The Great Butler** · 23rd March 2006, 11:28 PM

Lots of people were saying Espeon would be a good choice for her team. Now that it appears she *does* have one, the whining about Gardevoir returns.

Sigh.......

At least she completely OWNED Ash like I had hoped. He never had a chance. Hopefully it doesn't get reversed in Ash vs. Anabel Part Two and we get a good, competitive battle straight through. The Tucker battle is a good example.

Not that many people said that was a good idea. Espeon is showcased quite alot and we know what its capable of. The majority werent for the idea. If May's eevee evolves to espeon ill just shoot myself on the spot. I'm sorry im tired of seeing espeon especially after just seeing it with lilian and we can still see it with lillian if the writers decided to.

**Kabuto** · 24th March 2006, 1:37 AM

Yeah agreed GhostMaster. I wanted Gardevoir most and if not then Xatu the cooler less showcased Johto psychic.

**Flamez** · 24th March 2006, 1:57 AM

Yeah xatu would've been good all the damn johto pokemon have been neglected especially a pokemon called uhhh whats the name DUNSPARCE.

**CyberCubed** · 24th March 2006, 2:12 AM

The writers favor Kanto and Hoenn Pokemon. Johto Pokes are lucky if they get screentime nowadays.

From what I understand, fences don't yield too many experience points. Seriously though, when you think about it tauros is one of Ash's least experienced pokemon... it'd be awesome if he kept it on his team for a while.

I wonder if Anabel will use any different pokemon in the upcoming re-match...

**The Flat World** · 24th March 2006, 8:54 AM

I hope she does... I'm not much of a fan of any of the pokemon Ash used in this battle.

**Geodude** · 24th March 2006, 11:59 AM

She won't.

Great ep, Anabel turned out to be a telepath who can talk to Pokemon, and she uses that ability in battle. Gonna be interesting to see how Ash manages to overcome this.

I liked the introductory scene where she calmed that Gyarados and helped it, reminds me of Bruno when he did the same thing with that giant Onix...except without the telepathy.

Can someone tell us what Pikachu was saying to Anabel when she had it on her lap? That was such a cute scene.
