Ash, Iris & Trip's Final Battle (753)

[Joltik-Kid]

I usually respect your point of view, but how do you expect any of us to take you seriously when you're obviously an Ash/Krookodile stan? I mean your signature practically blew your cover. If you're going to defend Ash's convenient victories, then at least do so in an unbiased way. I'm not here for Ash stans who try to preach to us when it's obvious that they're celebrating Iris's Dragonite's defeat.

I really take no offense in you calling me an Ash fan, because I actually like all three main cast members, but my signature is just to prove Dragonite is not as powerful as the earlier whiner's (I'll admit I was one of them) were saying. Okay, so it took an unexpected evolution (in the characters eyes) and maybe that did play a miner role... but did anyone really think Iris was gonna win this tournament? It was set up for either Ash or Trip to win (clearly Trip, but Ash had just as big of chance) so regardless of what went down... Dragonite was destined to lose. And no, I'm just as tired of these mid-battle evolution's as the complaining bunch, but as dman has stated in the past, this is more realistic then having the Pokemon wait till after the match.

Ash never had a chance from the moment it was revealed the winner got to face alder.

I don't know what you mean by that... sure Trip wanted to fight Alder, but Ash never really got to have a proper battle with the guy. I had it as a toss up given that Ash isn't gonna win the league and that Trip was acting way to smug for his own good. At least Alder is gonna put him in his place it seems

When it was revealed that the winner of the cup gets to fight Alder we all knew Trip would win since his story revolves around fighting the champion.

Don't care... Ash had just as much chance as Trip...

[Col-Erase]

Fact stands, it evolved mid-battle against a Druddigon, before facing Drayden.

Actually, we don't know WHEN in the battle it happened. Could have been the beginning.

But we do know that it wasn't in a "jam" or tired or hurt or beaten up ... it looked perfectly happy right before evolving.

Shooti is using gameshark code to speed up his Serperior to 999. No wonder he is so confident to beat anyone. He is a fluke. So many nitro charge can't hit him once. The only way I can think is, Shooti is using Gameshark or Action Replay Code.

But Ash atleast made it to the finals again like he did with Iris beofre, so let's not say that he didn't get anything done. He did very well. and using Pignite against Serperior was smart even though most people don't get the concept behind it.:/ But I was rooting for Trip since he had no development in a long time.

If by "did very well" you mean he used more deus ex machina than ever before, then you're right. And maybe I'm too slow since I haven't had my coffee yet, but what was the concept behind Ash's decision to use Pignite?

Type advantage and nitro charge.

Hold on… Iris's Dragonite winning the previous two matches with a single move without previous on-screen training isn't DEM while Krokorok evolving and requiring to use Dragon Claw plus Crunch plus Stone Edge to defeat Dragonite is DEM?

Sounds fair.

Because it was a type advantage. Using Oshawott or something and losing would have been worse in my eyes. But you can think whatever you want.

Anyone have a link to the episode?

Pignite has an advantage.

Please explain why you seem to think Krokorok "used more deus ex machina than ever before" because I really don't think you're correct...

I was hoping Trip and Ash would face each other. I however was hoping for Dawn to be in the finals as well but nevermind. I'm glad that this is coming to and end. Alot of characters that I wanted to go futher didn't while some didn't need the extra screetime.

[RVD_fan]

After re-watching this episode with subs, I find I enjoyed it a lot better. I was intrigued when Georgia said something along the lines of Iris not being good enough for the power of dragons. It makes me wonder if Georgia actually really likes Dragon types but maybe doesn't think she's strong enough to use them yet.

I hope they follow up on it.

[Angel~]

A pretty good episode, Too bad Dawn didn't do anything but watch from the sidelines. Her interactions with Cilan were so Lukewarm *sigh*. I found it really weird how Dragonite obeys Iris in a battle but then in the next one not anymore. Then it goes all crazy she really needs to learn how to control it. And I really hated the whole Burgundy/Langley side comments, There's no need for that. Iris using Flamethrower for everything obviously wasn't going to work. Lastly, once I saw the Ash VS Trip I knew it was gonna be childs play for Trip at that point. Was impressed by how fast it finished.

[Kenny Pkmn Trainer]

Wow whats that epic music named at the begin when ash and dawn start battling?

[Airi-Chan]

Nice episode! The most loving scene when Alder giving trophy to Trip. That was best moment that I've watched Pokemon.

[SmartD]

Just when it looks likes Dragonite is finally obeying Iris, it gets out of control after being hit with Krookodile's Dragon Claw. And Serperior is really fast, dodging all of Pignite's attacks. I wonder how the battle between Trip and Alder will turn out.

[AuraChannelerChris]

It looked like Iris and Dragonite were working together, yet everything went downhill once Krokorok evolved. I guess it looked too convenient for Iris to have bonded with Dragonite around now, so the episode really had good realism with their chemistry.

Dear god, that Serperior is completely broken in power. Not getting hit once...
