Not the Greatest, but the Greatest since Ash VS Gary, I'd say... Thus, it's third in my eternal ranking of the Greatest Battles:
#1: Ash VS Drake
#2: Ash VS Gary
#3: Ash VS Paul

Drake- Ash Sweeps through it, a single lose of Lapras, and then needs his whole team for a single Pokemon.
Gary- A series of OHKOs, where Charizard and Blastoice took too many wins.
If anyone who says Gary's is better, and this battle sucks because Infernape and Drapion had too many wins...well Drapion and Infernape did the same as Blastoice and Charizard, if memory serves.

Not really, no.
There wasn't a single moment during this battle where I wasn't going, "HOLY ****!!!"
Seriously, no other battle in the series has ever been given this amount of attention and detail.

I Agree this was an amazing battle =D
I beg to differ
Lol agreed =D
- Personally i havent seen these episodes at full so i cant say much however from what ive seen i have to say its one of the best battles ever!//
i mean 3 long episode for one major battle is amazing!..however i think the gary vs ash match may top this, but dont get me wrong this was an excellent battle!.Hope to see similiar in isshu =D
We all knew Paul was going to lose, but the battle sequence near the end was completely as one would expect. The punches, the explosions, the musical montage, the one pokemon falling down, and Paul taking it like it was nothing.
Everything was on character, nobody did anything unpredictable. Maybe Paul actually getting angry for releasing Chimchar/Infernape, or something besides Blaze being the deciding factor.

But for heavens sake, however this battle is the best one or not is entierly up to each person to decide. You can´t tell people what to think just because you sees this battle as the best ever. Nostalgia or not every each person may have a special favorite that they put above this particular battle. So stop wasting post and forum- space on meaningless posts trying to convince people of what is right or wrong.
On topic the, yes for me this was the best battle in the series history. It had everything Ash vs Gary had and more. Perfect musical score and epic Pokémons to fight. We got to see Ash and Paul at their best, using every trick of the trade that they knew of. Aside from Torterra Ash used his Pokémon and their capabilities to the limit and fought in true Ash- style (many flying or fast Pokémon) while Paul tried his best to lure Ash with a few Pokémon that was not the usual Paul- Pokémon (heavy tanks). And in this he almost succed in taking down what was probably the best field line- up Ash has ever started with. How could such a fight not be epic? All the crap about Paul not using the a- team is nonsense, you start with the line- up you think can win, and then there is no such thing as the a or b team (and Paul ONLY starts with Pokémon that he is absolutly secure with and who has been through his rigerous traing).
The Ash - Gary Johto- league battle, Ash last battle with Brandon, Ash vs. Paul first 6 on 6, Ash vs. Drake and a few other battles are personal favorites. The one against Gary still top my most memorable list, because it was Gary, a person he had been behind for so long and now finally defeated him, He fought not just Gary there but also took his first step from being an ordinary trainer to someone who could actually make it, to the top spots in the tournaments. Against Gary he saw that he could do IT. That battle was more of a turning point than this against Paul. Had Ash lost to Gary he would forever been behind.
The most important thing in this Ash - Paul league match is that Ash and we other saw that his traing was the right one. That you could succeed with his style of training. Then this was played out perfectly in terms of feeling and animation and musical score.

Did anyone think Ash set off Electivire's Motor Drive on purpose? Maybe to intentionally let Paul weaken Infernape enough to set off Blaze?
That would be an interesting twist, but I don't know. I don't understand Japanese.
But this battle was great in its own respect - because Ash used an entirely regional team (minus Pikachu of course).

Too old for your rubbish..
Other than Torterra going down without a win and Infernape coming out to face Electivire at what semed like full health, yes it was a great battle and one of my all time favourites... I absolutely loved how they handled Infernape vs Electivire and am glad Gliscor got the win over what was undeniably the Ursaring/Blastoise/Dragonite of this battle.
It easily surpasses the battle against Gary in the Johto League, but i'm not sure if its quite up there with the battle against Drake in Pummelo.

Best battle IMO. Remember, while we can say for fact that this battle was better animated and had more emotion into it(seriously, no disagreeing with that), whether it is your favorite or not is for you to decide.

So...the battle is not good because the characters stayed in character? Sounds like a reason it is good, in my book....
