Awe yeah, now this is what we've all been waiting for. The Sinnoh League is finally here! Been looking forward to ever since Ash got his 8th Badge which wasnt too long ago haha.
Plus, when Brock said Pokemon trainers all over the world come to watch the league, it got me wondering if other generations past Gen 4 and 5 are watching.
One of the most random moments was the appearance of Conway, and showing up behind Dawn's back. Total Creeper, but it's awesome to see him again. I suppose he's competing too, since he's in the trainers village.
And then Barry comes up later in the episode, and says hes been attacked by a Pokemon. I only wonder who that could be. : P
What I looked forward too the most about this episode were the Pokemon that Ash is going to use. The first five that came back onto the show; Corphish, Totodile, Snorlax, Bayleef and Cyndaquil.
While Heracross was meant to be sent over (by Bayleef's doing), it was hilarious when it looked like it was eating Professor Oaks hair after not realizing Heracross. And it was also wonderful to see Bulbasaur, though when it was being invaded by Heracross to eat its sap.
Bayleef, however, was probably my favorite return. All because she wanted to see Ash again, and its literally been forever since the last time Ash visited his Pokemon. I call that an absolute bond between Trainer and Pokemon. Bayleef is so awesome, I went awww when she gave Ash affection and refused to go back in the PokeBall. Such a sweet Pokemon, and an awesome one. <3
Totodile and Corphish weren't all that bad to see, and I was happy to see Totodile chomp on Ash's head haha If only Gible were there, he'd have someone who likes doing the same thing; biting Ash's head! Shame Torterra can't do that anymore though but oh well.
Snorlax was awesome as usual. Just eating the food and being lazy. Plus, I couldnt stop myself from cracking up when Snorlax was just lazy and sleepy when Ash and everyone was facing Team Rocket. Just sat there but seem to give TR's mecha some damage. Just loved that. xD
And then Cyndaquil, I loved seeing it's amazing speed while facing Team Rocket. Probably the most shocking thing was when TR was so strong, all it could do in a critical moment was... evolving! Now we have a fired up Quilava. It's voice wasn't too bad I suppose, but Im gonna miss the cute "Cyndaquil" voice. And Im sure Dawn's Cyndaquil isnt gonna show up anymore. I'd also love it if those two even met, but meh.
Then the next 5 Pokemon arrive to Ash, and whom Ive very happy to see again; Glalie, Torkoal, Noctowl, Muk and I believe Heracross this time. I enjoyed seeing the gags again, like Glalie freezing Ash, and Muk glomping him. So awesome. x3
Then at last! At the end of the episode, the Sinnoh League and the lighting of the Torch is finally commenced! It's has been some time since the last league opening, and I cant believe how exciting this is. And, we have Nando, Conway, Barry... and even Paul who are all competing with Ash. Once the Round 1 matches were pulled up, first up for Ash's Round 1 battle:
Ash VS Nando
Gonna be a interesting battle of course, but it's a shame their battle starts so soon. Ah well, looking forward to the League rounds to finally start.
Wonderful episode overall however. Many of Ash's Pokemon return to onscreen, and it's great to see them again. : ) And Cyndaquil's evolving and learning Eruption was an exciting part. But really, the opening ceremony of the League was the most amazing sight. ^^
