Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness! (786)

I loved this episode, it had lots of moments that made laugh. Overall I never got bored for a moment, I just wished most of the episodes would be just as entertaining. I was glad to see Axew actually get stomped in a battle tournament, like what we should be seeing more often. No temporary power-ups.

 

Ash winning the ship's tourney was likely the writing staff's way of giving him his first BW tourney win hee hee. It probably didn't matter either way, but it's cool that he won something. And as for Purrloin, I guess we'll never know why Cilan has a grudge on them. ^^;

 

I suppose that makes sense, although since it was such a minor competition in retrospect, I have to wonder if Satoshi winning was even necessary since the Choroneko and thief plot was focused on so much more than Satoshi's battles were.

 

This episode was very tame. It had some funny moments but I'm already starting to forget what happened. Did Cilan state why he wasn't entering the tournament?
