A Judgement Brawl! (406)

It's a good thing you said "Trainer" and not "Battler", or I would have hammered you with a gigantic list of Coordinators.

Such as? Besides Robert and Juan, every coordinator that ever appeared has been a complete weakling. They lost to May's baby ubers......thats just bad ^__^.

**The Great Butler** · 18th March 2006, 11:48 PM

Eh, I thought it was an OK episode. The conclusion of Ash vs. Kaede was really I thought it had going for it. I don't care for Morrison that much, and the way he wouldn't battle at the end kind of annoyed me.

Average, not great...."Shocks and Bonds!" was better, and I only saw half of it. :P

**CyberCubed** · 18th March 2006, 11:52 PM

Battles is all the leagues are about, and this is about as good as you'll get with the Pokemon choices they were using.

I am impressed with the way Team Rocket are handled in this league. They're kept out of the picture and given as little screentime as possible, and what screentime they do get is humourous because of their boss.

Hopefully in the next Grand Festival and league they do something like this again with them.

**Korobooshi Kojiro** · 18th March 2006, 11:55 PM

Notice Tyson takes out a Rhydon with Meowth during the glimpse of his battle,
well

Spoiler:

Anyway, awesome episodes. Clark and Katie ruled, but poor Torkoal. Shafted again!

It was better in Johto league though. TR still had screentime here while in Johto they sold stuff for half a minute in the episode.

But the only real comic relief came when Delibrid swooped in for about 3 seconds and pilfered their earnings. One or two bits of comic relief per episode helps balance things out (especially since TR is generally unreliable for a competent battle).

**IrkenAdolescent** · 19th March 2006, 4:25 AM

Great episode. The Corphish battle was hilarious, and Team Rocket selling food and getting yeled at by their big nosed boss is too funny. Morrison, on the other hand, I can do without. He doesnt please me that well. Tyson makes a far better character. Just give Morrison's Metang to Tyson, through Morrison in the writer's forgetfullness room, and go on with the show.

**Geodude** · 19th March 2006, 6:03 AM

Tyson doesn't need a Metang.

He already has a Metagross.

**HoennMaster** · 19th March 2006, 6:15 AM

This was a good episode. I have been looking forward to Ash's battle with Katie ever since it aired in Japan. Katie's voice was pretty good compared to lets say Jump's.

**The Flat World** · 19th March 2006, 9:39 AM

This is easily the best Hoenn tournament episode.

Swellow owns, as does Grovyle.

Anyway, awesome episodes. Clark and Katie ruled, but poor Torkoal. Shafted again!

[spoilers]And again in the next two episodes. (beating Shiftry doesn't mean ****)[/spoilers]

**Doned** · 19th March 2006, 1:50 PM

Did I just see Team rocket WORKING? Ver nice episode. I just am afraid what would happen to team rocket if they went to that buffet...because they eat so much!

**grovile** · 19th March 2006, 3:50 PM

NOOOO 1 Week to next episode!

Wow that was a SPAMtacular post.

What else can i say bout this ep? It rocked, cept for poor Torkoal and Girafarig. I like saying Girafarig, such a neat name. Swellow totally rocked. Why doesnt Ash use Wing Attack anymore? All Peck, Aerial Ace and Double Team. Wing Attack's got to be better than Peck. Grovyle rocked too. Corphish is such a cool pokemon. Im really liking it. Its battle in the previous ep was just great. Ash has some cool pokemon, besides a certain electric Pika.

He intentionally used Peck because he anticipated the Disable.

**~~Judai Yuki~~** · 19th March 2006, 5:28 PM

I <3 that song before the Trainer's Choice xD.The fact that they had Girafarig as the scapegoat i didnt like.

I would have prefered Karen or Katrina, a more mature name.

**jolteonjak** · 19th March 2006, 7:14 PM

This has got to be one of the best battles ever. My only disappointment was how easily Torkoal was knocked out. Mimicking Quick Attack was brilliant IMO.

**HoennMaster** · 20th March 2006, 3:02 AM

I think that Katie was a good pick for Kaede, although Kate would have been good to

**CyberCubed** · 20th March 2006, 3:57 AM

Is there really much of a difference between Katie and Kate?

Katie makes her sound cuter for some reason.

My boss' wife goes by Katie, and she's in her late 50s/early 60s.

**Kabuto** · 20th March 2006, 4:03 AM

It doesn't matter. We won't be seeing her again anyway >_>.

**Kamex** · 20th March 2006, 11:56 PM

Interesting battle.

I wish Corphish could have evolved in this battle. Seeing it FINALLY as a Crawdaunt, with perhaps the same personality except rougher, would've been cool... Spoiler:

Whoa, machinegun Peck attack. XD

I'd expect Ash to be the one all frustrated and depressed about battling Morrison, not the other way around. But I guess Ash has matured through those stages already...

7/10.

**Tazzler** · 22nd March 2006, 2:18 AM

Good episode. Katie was a good character imo. She was very mature-like and again, sportmaship she showed was nice. Her team is pretty well, too. Also, her voice is dubbed. too bad she's gonna be dumped , lol.

Good battles though, Girafirig is one my fav. pokemon. It is very...interesting.It automatically is one of the best ones on his team, and <spoiler>we see growlithe gets beaten out by corphish anyways.> I wish they could have used it more, as it really is a cool pkmn.

**wobbanut** · 24th March 2006, 11:44 PM

Corphish was ROFLOL hilarious in this episode.

For once, I loved the announcer (he's usually only slightly less irritating than fingernails on a chalkboard) when Corphish is shaking golduck's "hands" and the announcer says "you can't make this stuff up, folks". LOL The best part was that Corphish was able to go on fighting, and win, even though he was so confused.

Morrison was also great in this episode. The drama of the last act, when he learns that he and Ash have to fight each other and he's upset about it, was really well-done. I know the fight does continue, but at least the cliffhanger makes you really wonder if he will. I still loved Team Rocket with their manager too.

Overall, 9 out of 10, raised over the previous episodes because of Morrison goodness and Corphish's antics.

**~Flareon~** · 27th March 2006, 6:56 AM

Interesting episode. The battle between Katie and Ash in the EverGrande tournament, it was so cool. Ash won the match and face off against his rival, Morrison.
This is the battle between Ash and Katie won or lost:
Venomoth/Golduck VS Torkoal: Golduck wins/Corphish wins/Swellow wins
Dugtrio VS Pikachu: Dugtrio wins
Dugtrio VS Glalie: Glalie wins
Misdreavus VS Glalie: Glalie wins and but actually it fainted
Scizor VS Swellow: Swellow wins
Swellow VS Walrein: Walrein wins
Walrein VS Corphish: Walrein wins
Walrein VS Grovyle: Grovyle wins
