Great episode! This was definetly one of those episodes which can only be enjoyed when animated. I usually love the speedy battles the best so it's great how the animators made it that way rather than having those awkward pauses we're so used to. And as some others said, there weren't any cheap loses/wins. Even though Krokorok lost I thought he was actually animated to look powerful...just seeing him on Ash's team is pretty cool.
I know we're all sick of those Ash/Pikachu moments but seeing Pikachu get up after a Bubblebeam+Hurricane+BraveBird only for Ash to forfeit the match for him was pretty epic. I honestly thought the rat could've kept battling but would've gotten hurt or sick or something if he did. I think less of us would've found the scene less WTF if Pikachu's endurance was always this high ._.
The end with Skyla deciding to stop her air battles felt rushed, like they spent so much time on battling so didn't have time to develop her as a character. Ah well, I'm glad Ash wasn't lecturing her throughout the whole thing. Like he talked to her through battling which is a lot like him.
Swanna did get hit a lot before that...and I'm pretty sure any pokemon is stronger than Dent's Stunfisk at this point.

Also, Unfezant beats Swanna with one Aerial Ace but Stunfisk's electric attacks don't affect him at all? lol Bad writing...
