Ash and Trip's Third Battle (693)

[vipsoccermaster]

Fine episode, even if the battle ended up in a draw. Sad to see Snivy lost, though. Trip can be annoying, but at least he's helpful sometimes.

[Almighty Zard]

Nope. Even Cynthia references it in B/W.

she said something about it in the original version?

still the way Trip made it sound, you need to beat a regional champion to get into it...which means we ain't likely to see Ash in such a thing.

I really wish snivy would've shown more emotion losing here specifically, i mean she easily dispatched Servine last time, yet here she gets knocked out effortlessly and doesn't show any emotions whatsoever towards her defeat.

Oshawott showed happiness that it won and Tepig showed it's depression when it tied with the ice cream cone, I mean come on writers would it have killed you to have snivy show some degree of emotion, especially since Trip was downtalking her as well--;

you know seeing Cilan actually lose his temper for once was HILARIOUS! and seeing his rather creepily serene face at the end was funny too!

[Orton155]

It's Emergency Time! I hoped that Cilan reacted a bit more explosively but he reacted in such a way to make me laugh either way so I can't complain.

The battle was the interesting trainer battle of 3, 1 v 1 battles. I expected snivy to resist to more than one cut but I suppose snivy could have taken some damage from Servine's other attacks. Snivy didn't show more emotion because she is the 'Big sister' of the group remember? She stays strong for the whole group to keep it together.

Oshawott was the little fighter. Apprehensive at first wanting Pikachu to take the stage but Ash showed he had confidence in him and then he showed confidence in the battle to overcome Timburr with an awesome Razor Shell.

Tepig's battle was very interesting especially Trip taking up Ash's strategy in terms of believing in your pokemon regardless of type advantage (I wonder why). Tepig put up a battle to a barrage of attacks from vanillite and at first I thought he would fall but he came through to get a fantastic draw and a draw for Ash which I think is a fair result.

Good episode, nice pikachu shaped 'hole' with cilan at the end.

Why do people think it is not possible for Ash to win a regional league?

1.He gets better each time

2.If they follow the game storyline he would have to win the regionals

The Dub of this episode was great, especially Cilan at the end ahaha.

Interesting that they spoke about the Champion League and meeting Alder too.

Oshawott needs to learn how to open it's eyes, Satoshi should get buizel to teach oshawott

This episode is one of the best ones so far.
I loved how Iris called Trip a kid, and it was pretty cool finding out about Oshawott's aqua jet.

trip called iris a kid also

[Jigglypuff5000]

A pretty sweet episode. So Trip was / is a complete fanboy of Alder then [whose design is pretty pimp, if I do say so myself]. And a big facepalm at Oshawott's Aqua Jet strategy... xD

Timburr and Vanillite were coolio too. But thought it was random that the later was knocked out, but Tepig recovered in mere seconds after his 'faint' [does that mean Ash actually won?].

[gliscor&yanmega]

Have to say the title isn't that great in my opinion. I usually don't have much thought on the titles but it just doesn't appeal to me at all.

I enjoyed the episode though.

I love what I heard from Palpitoad, it's voice sounded right for it to me. Vanillite sounded nice too. Timburr's dub voice was nice too. Bouffalant I didn't really get to hear much from, sounded alright of what I heard though. Alder had a nice voice, I figure he'd have a voice somewhat like that.

I liked the Cilan parts but I still think they can improve on the dub for Cilan.

Loved this episode though we haven't had a rival battle end in a tie in a minute.

[PokeTrainerJay]

Just watched this episode, Not bad.

Unfortunately, it doesn't.

[TTNH03]

Man that was upsetting.
I thought Ash won that battle.
I would be very disappointed if I lost to a Pokemon with a type disadvantage against my Pokemon.

He didn't lose. You might want to read the reply three posts above yours.

Seriously Ash you never noticed until Trip told you that Oshawott's eyes weren't open, you who has 4 league tournaments & a offer to become a Frontier Brain under your belt seriously can't tell that the reason Aqua Jet wasn't hitting cause a Water Pokemon has it's eyes closed. Also stop with Iris's questioning of Ash's knowledge of Unova, he is from Kanto & this is his first time in Unova.

This is the 5th season writers we don't need another stupid Psyduck type Pokemon or Iris's continual criticism of Ash, it's lazy writing and a stupid joke.

[Lance The Champ]

I expected a more intense battle from both of them but all the three rounds were over in 1 or 2 hits and there was more talk and less battling... but still it was a good prospect for Ash
