Bluemarc i can sense your sarcasm and quite frankly it's annoying. Listen Mijumaru has not used Shell blade in the episodes that have aired yet.

M-m-m-m-onobear?!
Also is there a website that streams the episode?
KeyHole TV lets you view episodes as they air, and it's the only legal way for non-Japan-residents to view the episodes. I really should stick this in an FAQ somewhere.


Anyway, preview! Naturally, Ash is getting to fight all three GLs, although I wonder how they'll explain it. (is that always how it works in animeverse? Do they go "wait, your starter's a Pikachu? Uh..."?) And seeing all three Sanyou Gym brothers in the anime confirms it: Dento's eyes are stupid and there's no reason he can't have normal eye-whites like his brothers do. Look! An entire post without debating Mijimaru's Shell Blade! It's a miracle!

After seeing Mijumaru run off after seeing its evo in the last episode, I am not too confident on it being the powerhouse of Issuh. We'll know about its merits in the gym battles though.

Mijumaru kinda acts like a spoiled brat wich is so cute.The fact that it didn't want to battle its evolved form is a positive thing...it recognized its evolved form as being more powerful than itself and had no desire to defeat it wich means it will eventually evolve

Thing is, I'm sure that Mijumaru will be beating Yanappu. I'd bet money on Dento being the last one Ash fights and we have a title for BW009 now- I very much doubt that the writers would wait until episode 10 for a rematch. I know Turtwig starred in Oreburgh and we saw what happened to him, but starring in a gym will be a good start for Miju.

Also, I agree with what Nacreous said.

Come to think of it, Ash never really did choose Mijumaru as his original poke'mon. It just came out of the ball. Maybe it would've fought his evolved form had Ash ordered it to. Anyways, I hope you guys are right and that Miju evolves, and then doesn't turn Turtwig.

If people haven't seen the summary here it is.

Ash has finally arrived in Sanyou City! Ash, unable to suppress the excitement of his first Gym battle in the Isshu region, finds himself faced by a young man named Dent. Dent, seeing how friendly Iris and Kibago seem to be, informs them that they have perfect compatibility. It seems that he is qualified as a "Pokémon Sommelier" and is able to see the compatibility between Trainers and their Pokémon. While listening to their stories, he guides them towards the Sanyou Gym since they came all that way. And then, the long-awaited Sanyou Gym appears before their eyes! Ash jumps right in in full battle mode, but they can't believe their eyes at the spectacle spread before them inside the building...

Poor thing they cant all have the confidence of Shooti Tsutaja, let it get some battling experience and maybe evolve to get a better opinion, he is brave after all.

It's not necessarily cowardice to run from a battle that you don't have to fight and you know you probably won't win . . . and I agree with whoever said that Mijumaru will likely try harder if Ash actually wants it to battle. I do hope it evolves at least once though, Futachimaru is my favorite of its' evolutionary line though I wouldn't mind seeing it evolve fully either.

I don't think it's a matter of braveness. It felt intimidated. As I have been mentioning, evolution = experience. Seriously, if my ten year old self will meet me (19 years old) he'll feel intimidated.

DEM doesn't work anymore. Let it battle with it's expereince and skills. Tsutarja on the otherhand is not aware of Pikachu's power.

Let's go to the beach, each.
I'm actually looking forward to seeing Mijumaru getting it's arse handed to it during this fight. From the look of the preview pictures for this Yanappu/Hiyappu/Baoppu episode, Mijumaru will run into some form of challenge and will only win at the last minute due to it's Shell Blade. Kind of sad how it'll have to rely on such a cheap victory but at least the humiliation will help it develop into a strong Pokemon. In related news, I can tell the monekys apart, yay. I was so confused but I memorized their names.

On the contrary I don't think it's humiliation. I think it's for good laughs and I don't think it's a cheap victory because Yanappu will be using Solar Beam, arguably the best grass move available.

I am hopeful that the gym rules should have Ash win 3-0 rather than leave one gym leader winning against Ash. I don't want unfinished business. This will be the first time that he'll lose to an important character without a chance of redeeming himself. So I hope he beats PORN BROS. + DENTO.

In one of the pics, I saw Miju and Pikachu in the battle field together, with Mijumaru apparently sleeping or something. Seems like it just came out of its ball again, and then doesn't want to battle. Or maybe it doesn't want to fight a water type which was apparently being used(the reason why Ash chose Pikachu to battle).

What's this Cazak? Is this a new thing from the episode?

Ooops I got it wrong. The pic I was talking about is when Mijumaru is crying while apparently battling Dento. Sorry for messing up the information everyone.
 
I think the gym battle will make Mijumaru push itself to become a better battler and instead of being scared off, it will realize that it would have to win to help Ash out and the moment it does, that would be when it starts dominating the match. Using its shell to deflect Bullet Seed and Solarbeam, then using Shell Blade, I think we'll see that when Ash calls out to it and Mijumaru and Ash work in synch to win.

Can't wait to see the gym match with the three brothers and Ash. I wonder if Ash has to beat all of them or 2 out of the 3. I sorta hope it's 2 out of 3 for the suspense factor. Ash wins one match, then Ash loses another, then vs. Dento would be a high stakes battle.

Pokabu vs. Boappu looks pretty interesting and I wonder how Pikachu will overcome Hiyappu.

Obviously the other match to watch out for is Mijumaru vs. Yanappu. Maybe after Mijumuru uses its shell as a shield against Solarbeam, its shell gets strong enough to become a Shell Blade. Then Miju will get the epic win!

Can we please get the older, old forum back?

Probably.. I wonder if they might go the backsprint way:

Pikachu surprisingly loses to Hiyappu due to that Boiling Water move.
Pokabu wins against Baoppu in a tight battle.
Mijumaru wins against Yanappu for the win with Shell Blade.

This so much. If this happens, Corn is undefeated! 8D Even though Pikachu losing is not so good, at least Corn will be undefeated.
And for the rest of them... I couldn't care less about them. Lose, draw, win, don't care.
