League Unleashed! (651)

[G50]

This episode was cool. The Ash vs Nando battle was great. Interesting how it was a tie between Armaldo and Quilava. It was cool that Quilava knocked Armaldo out with an Aeriel Ace attack. Odd how Quilava knew that attack as a Fire-Type Pokemon. It was cool to see Heracross using Sleep Talk after being put to sleep, and then being able to use Focus Punch. The Megahorn attack being used into the ground was so cool. It was cool to see Darkrai for the 1st time. Conway was again his creepy self, popping up and scaring Dawn.

^ as far as I know, this is actually Darkrai's second appearance in the anime. I think Darkrai's first appearance was in the episode "Sleepless In Pre-battle!" If you've seen that episode before.

Yeah, this first league episode, at times, felt a bit too rushed.
The Heracross/Kricketune battle was definitely the better battle!

I really can't wait to see who exactly this mystery trainer is!

That one Barry quote was pretty funny!
Especially:

"Hey! that's Ash battling out there!"
Me: a doyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Also:
Conway: "Conway's the name!
Me: "...and stalking is my game!"

Or, what I came up about stalker Conway with while reading this thread:
"Stalking is my business... and business is good!"
(^get it?)

[Ash Ketchum!]

The battle between Heracross and Kriketune was awesome! Too bad Quilava's battle got interrupted...

Meh, it's a league episode, they never really excite me. I did love seeing more of Ash's old pokemon making return appearances, Barry's always a treat, and Paul shows me why I like him much more than Trip. I did like Team Rocket's ongoing storyline for this league, though I didn't like it as much as the one with the pushy manager from the Hoenn League.

As fun as the battle was, the outcome was painfully predictable. There's no way Ash would lose his first battle. But still, it was really entertaining and nice to see Heracross. Next battle should be very interesting!
