Now I can call this episode a true and amazing conclusion to a epic 3-part battle. Omg this battle overall was pure amazing and the finale today was the best!!
I'm happy that Gliscor got a win, against the Drapion what wiped out half of Ash's team, and who was especially in a rough condition when trying to defeat it. It was ashame to see Gliscor got hit badly at the beginning from Pin Missle against X-Scissor. But to see Fire Fang back in use, and pratically put Drapion in huge flames, that was a most outrageous sight to see. O_O
Then, Gliscor went against Electivire, aka the final Pokemon on Paul's team. I did think of the fact before that Gliscor was part Ground so Electric moves won't have effect. But looking at all that's happened from this battle, Paul had a move in mind. I was stunned to forget about that, once Paul's Electivire used Thunder on the ground, to cause chunks of rocks to fall on Glisocr. Now that was super effective. xD Looks like Paul got payback, when Ash's Infernape used Flair Blitz to heat up the stage to subside the Toxic Spikes affect. I'm glad that Gliscor tried all it could do after wards, but it's a shame that it loses after Electivire catches it with his tails and uses Brick Break. That was a strong move though, Paul knows what he's doing.
Then came Pikachu to play. Both Electivire and Pikachu felt pretty even to say. Because they could only used Brick Break, Iron Tail and Quick Attack. They've been a good match as well, for trying to use those only moves to play. I liked the part where Pikachu used Quick Attack to face Electivire, when it used Thunder again to make the rocks fly and crash back onto the ground.
Then again, I was curious when Ash had Pikachu use Volt Tackle, considering the fact Electivire's ability is Motor Drive. Once it came to use ThunderPunch and Pikachu used Iron Tail to intercept, looked like at first Ash had the upper hand. Not until Paul had a idea in mind, as this was like their first battle. I totally forgot about that part, where Pikachu uses Iron Tail to end the battle, though Paul wasn't gonna let him try this again. We all totally forgot that Electivire has ANOTHER hand to use a move! Brick Break to the face, daaaang. Pikachu got real damage there. Pikachu is out of here. Electivire is really strong, yet it creeps me out in a way.
But now, it was time for the battle we've been waiting for... Electivire VS Infernape! Seeing how Infernape has taken damage from most of the battles its been in, and with Toxic Spikes Poison in effect, one may wonder (at least if they havent seen the conclusion before). At first, they make a good match to start up the final part of the battle, while firing back with ThunderPunch/Mach Punch/Flamethrower. Both are quite fast, and really powerful. Then it came a critical moment, where one of Electivire's tails grabs Infernape and shocked it to the max. Owwwch. With Infernape fell to the ground and is losing fire on it's head, and with Paul saying how pathetic it is (owch again), there's no way this battle is over yet!
My eyeballs grew once Infernape got up and activated blaze to the HIGHEST possible peak EVER. The music added a lot to it too (I believe it was The Ultimate Challenge again, but it sounded like an instrumental version; didn't hear any singing). A tower of fire launched right up in the air and over the stadium. O_O Woah, huuge power! Now they came with all their might; with Thunder/ThunderPunch from Electivire, and Infernape's boosted Flamethrower, Mach Punch and Flair Blitz, they came a enormous explosion for the end. Wondering who goes down, after Electivire still stands from a Flair Blitz reaction, the screen just zoomed out further. And my blood felt dead silence, wondering who will win this. But then... ELECTIVIRE IS DOWWWWN! Ash wins!
The finale was such a heated battle, and overall a wonderful Full Battle that I enjoyed to watch. It was great to see Paul say how well Electivire battled and took the loss well. Especially looking nice upon Infernape's performance.
And now... it's time for the Semi-Finals. Ash VS Tobias, oh boy. The Darkrai Guy is up next, and this League is not over yet.
It was also nice to see some of Paul's older Pokemon, especially Torterra, Honchkrow and Weavile since we haven't seen much of them for awhile. And I bet both Reggie and Cynthia enjoyed watching Ash and Paul's battle very well. I know a lot of us might have as well.
At the end, it was wonderful to see a final word from both Ash and Paul, before they both go their separate ways. Ash has his Semi-Final Battle, and Paul is off to Snowpoint City to have a rematch with Brandon! OH SNAP, we better see it. And until all later in the future, Ash and Paul's Rivalry Story of DP is over, but it'll be something great to look back upon.
My excitiment from today will take awhile to burn out. Plus, I can hardly wait for Ash to challenge Tobias now, and of course the question comes to mind if Ash can even defeat that trainer's Darkrai. All next week, and I cant wait!
