Intresting...... didnt know the original said Lenora had a Lillipup and a Herdier but teh dub said it had evolved
Anyway nice to see Tepig get some air time and Axhew with the wave machine was really funny. Glad Ash also used his head did some training for once got stronger and won. Now he has his 2nd badge. Only six more to go!
Love how also Tepig never gives up as well. I love its determatation ^_^.

Oshawott is SO cute.
Axew messing with the water machine was just lol.
Giga Impact = awesome looking.
Also, no training for Snivy?
Tepig was so determined!

For some reason, when I saw this, I was asking myself the following questions:
Can Watchog learn Thunderbolt?
Can Watchog learn Mean Look?
Can Herdier learn Shadow Ball?
Anyways, very good epidode.

Yes to all except the first which I am not sure of. BTW I thought the episode could be more exciting. Sometimes I wish the writers would combine everything that Ash learned instead of starting from scratch every time there's a new league! I mean, he should have a lot of good strategies by now! I bet he could even be champion!

It also makes me wonder what happens with Roar + Mean Look.

I loved it in the beginning when Axew was playing around with the controls in the Battle Club pool. He's just like an adorable little gremlin

The special training was fun. Axew was funny,lol!
Its good that oshawott and tepig learnt a new move.the episode overall very good due to the battle.

**celebitrainer** · 29th May 2011, 7:10 PM

Another thing I like about this episode was that for once the leader's main Pokemon is the one to lose first. Normally they take much longer to take out than the leader's other Pokemon would.

This episode was pretty good. Liked the battle Ash had.

Watchog was Lenora's main Pokémon? When did it say that in the episode?

**Littlemyuu** · 14th June 2011, 3:25 PM

Watchhog is soo cool xD it was a good battle =3

It's he primary Pokemon in the games, they always have where the main bruiser from the games is the main Pokemon they rely on in the anime.

to bad the yorterry evolved off screen

**Trainer Orange** · 15th June 2011, 4:32 PM

I was hoping for a tongue-in-cheek training montage a la Rocky or classic kung fu movies, but it was not to be. Did like that this episode showed you have to train in order to get better.

**Lance The Champ** · 18th June 2011, 10:42 AM

Awesome episode... Oshawott didnt open its eyes while doing Aqua jet that is why it was unsteady

**stanleysmith** · 10th December 2011, 9:25 PM

"Connesouir boy is right!" Oh, how I love Lenora.

**wobbanut** · 3rd July 2012, 3:03 AM

Wow, the first episode without Team Rocket since the pilot (not counting Chronicles). Just... wow. Now I've gotten used to occasional episodes without them, but the first time it was like a big void. And after the next show they go missing again for four episodes!

Apart from that, it was nice to see Tepig and Oshawott learn new moves, and I'm glad Ash earned his second Unova badge. I didn't realize until the start of the next season when he had four badges already that he was getting them so much faster than usual. I didn't start watching the show until season four, so I wasn't familiar with the fast gym pace of Kanto and the Orange Islands.

7/10

Although I enjoyed the previous episode, I can’t say much for this one. I did like when Ash got hit in the face with a ball: nice humor. But, overall, this was a pretty generic hey-we-train-to-get-better-and-that-determination-lets-us-win story. The training sessions often felt dragged out. Also, I was surprised Oshawott managed to land a good hit while confused. I thought the battle was going to end in a tie, but Tepig did hold on... somehow. That surprised me, given how hurt he was.

So I think this was the dullest BW episode I’ve seen so far. But I don't tend to be huge on the gym battle episodes.

**~~BurningSociety12345543210~~** · 17th November 2012, 12:44 AM

Just like how Lenora's victory against Ash was cheap, Ash's victory against Lenora here was cheap. Every Gym Leader in Unova has been a pushover, the only exceptions were Cress and Spoiler:- future episode spoiler:

Tepig beat her in one hit after surviving Giga Impact twice. Sadly BW is full of these bad battles.
