Metagross dominated Pikachu through the whole battle..... And then Pikachu finishes it in one Z-move? I loved the music they played and it was very emotional, but felt very cheap to me
Dracovish must've done some serious damage at the start, otherwise Steven wouldn't have recalled Metagross (and you can tell it was in pain from being bitten), so it wasn't fresh when it came back out.
seeing Gengar take out Aggron was cool, but man Cradily is a beast, at least until Pikachu locked it down as usual with Ash's tactics, and I got a kick out of how while Cynthia and Diantha are shocked, Leon was smiling.
Of course Paul cracked a smile too...that is always creepy.
So can people stop calling it the "nuke" now cause it sure as heck didn't take Metagross out, and I like the fact that it can function in more ways than just straight forward attacking. I like how the separate streams were capable of blocking metagross attack and then slamming it from different angles.
I am abit bummed that it looks like Iris is leaving (steven and alain not so much), I was hoping she would stay but I guess not.
Also,
@Dephender was there a special preview after this episode in addition to the normal one?
To be positive for a moment I did like how Iris watched this match from the stands. If she's really gone now though, they screwed up. Giving us that for one episode then taking it away is just gonna feel sad.
Yeah that kind of bites if she is indeed leaving here, I was hoping she'd stay until the end.
