-Iris, that girl was tenacious this episode. I really enjoyed what I saw from her and her attitude toward Maya and her clique. The way Maya starts the episode off by ****-talking Emonga and Tsutarja and how furious she gets at her as well as the way she shows concern over Emonga were good moments for her, Maya immediately reminded me of one of those typical MTV-watching ball buster-type girls. The wild child's noblewoman's laugh almost had me in stitches at some points in the episodes. I really like how she got into the spirit of things and was pretty nonchalant toward the troupe's idol behavior status and got Dento and Satoshi in on things, kicking those prima donna's butts and teaching the alpha female, Maya, a lesson gave this episode spark. It takes a lot to stand up to a bully, especially when they have their crew behind them. I give Iris props for doing what she did because she's a hotblooded trainer who gets angry when anyone talks **** about her or her Pokemon and this episode showed that. Nice foreshadowing of Souryuu City at the beginning of the episode.
-Satoshi and Dento, I love the moments these two had. Satoshi's smirks and typical masculine mannerisms contrasting so well with being dressed like a girl were hilarity and showed me something that I wish we saw more of out of Satoshi when he crossdresses. Dento executing feminine hand commanding signals was funny as well as his moments when commanding Yanappu-Chan.
-Yanappu-Chan and Pikachu-Chan, I'm glad to see that both of them were able to leave that place with their man cards intact. I felt bad for poor Yanappu especially, who simply looked beside himself on what to do half the time what with being dressed as a girl. You can tell he's really out of his element, because he's kicking *** next episode. I was more excited for Cross-Dressing Pikachu than any human crossdressing. XD
-Emonga, she kicked ***. I like how she used her flying as an advantage toward the earth-bound Pokemon girls through her bouts of strength did we see her succeed. It sucks she couldn't knock out with Roserade with a Volt Change, that is her signature move and obviously Iris was gonna use Mero-mero, so she opted for Hidden Power and Discharge throughout the battle. Though I would have loved to see her learn Acrobat, but otherwise it was an enjoyable battle. Her noble woman's laugh alongside Iris and Tsutarja at the end. "Emomomomomo!", gave me Tamaki/Usagi vibes.
-Tsutarja, way to be a head ***** in charge. During her balance beam bout, I liked how saw her pull of a judo throw in order to send Chillacino sailing toward that pool of vile nastiness. I really liked the way that she went up against Chillacino in battle. I liked the strategy with using Vine Whip to snatch Tail Sweeper in midair and then the other one with using Leaf Storm to mess up Chillacino's scarf/fur/tail so she couldn't clean herself after cannon balling into that cesspool. She once again shows how much of a badass she can be when she wants to and did more than a good job of putting that snob in her place. Only thing that could have made it better is if she learned herself a new move.
-Music, I noticed some pieces of new music. I'm guessing from the BW2 games, either I'm slow to the race or those were just added. Props to the music director.
-Maya and her gang manage to be entertaining enough for one episode as C(s)OTD, I realize being a neat freak is a tendency all members of the Chillarmy line have, but still I like the way Chillacino vacuumed herself up after Tsutarja threw her in the mud. Maya's snooty passive-aggressive *****y behavior was great and she easily got what she deserved at the end of the episode. Mizuki was good and Shion had a pretty deep voice for a girl imo. Also, yay for older Pokemon appearing. It's BW2, so an older Pokemon is welcomed, especially one I like such as Roserade. They came off as Maya's pets at some points in the episode, but it just highlighted how they hide behind someone popular and how shallow they are. I wouldn't mind seeing Ms.most-likely-watches-lifetime-and-MTV-all-day appear again.
Moral of today's episode? Don't **** with Iris.....or she will completely wreck your ****....and laugh in your face about it five-seconds later.
