Not thinking twice!
In the case there was a rematch, please state which battle you're referrring to (or if you're referring to both as a whole).
I'm counting Ash vs Korrina because it's Ash's second PWC battle that has been treated as an important event

I think ash vs broly is underrated, it was good for its time.

I liked Satoshi versus Touki in the sense that Satoshi had to train on Muro Island for a while in order to beat Touki, although even that battle was flawed since at the end of the day Satoshi used the geysers to his advantage despite that being a very contrived winning strategy.

I liked Ash vs Gardenia the most. I dunno why maybe I just really liked Gardenia's loud personality or I'm just attached to Sinnoh but that was a good gym match.

Ash vs Korrina takes it.
The best Kalos character and the best Pokemon of all time is in it, and Dragonite also kicks butt! :D

If I remember right, that was one of her last major moments while on Satoshi's team prior to the trade with Hikari. It's also one of the few battles that involved her that I remember in general, although I didn't think that Gym match was particularly impressive.

there switching going on , ash use stariva block the sun so gardenia bounsweet attack stop , trutwig got his revenge , ash trick roserade grass knot with aipom double team , ash aipom reflect back her rosarade fire weather ball , ash trap her roserade with aipom's swiftstar and swift a single star to make the circle star attack roserade and knock it out with punch on the face with focus punch , how its that not impresive tell me ?? i cant belive how awesome DP battle
and still hate how they treat aipom in DP , she deserve better , that trade is just nonsense if aipom just want to do pimpong nonsense

I picked Ash vs. Bugsy because that gym battle involved everyone's favorite fire echidna winning against a giant praying mantis.

I thought that was one of the stranger Gym battles in Jouto since Tsukushi's team was weird. I never expected to see a Transel move the way his did, and even his Itomaru was rather competent for such a small Bug-type. Then there's his Strike which used Swords Dance in a creative way to deflect Fire-type moves. One thing that I especially liked was that Satoshi no longer had Lizardon, so he couldn't just sweep through that Gym.

For me it's Hala. It wasn't anything astounding strategy wise but the animation was pretty good from what I remember. I also like how Hala as a character was shown especially with him using AOP with Hariyama. Also Ash's first time using BB
