-We're getting right into the action with Trip VS Dento!
-Two opponents who are being CIVIL to each other? Pfft, lame.
-Oh wait, here's Cabernet to smack talk Dento from the stands.
-Dwebble vs Gurdurr. I'd pretend to be surprised if this wasn't spoiled weeks ahead of time.
-Gurdurr's Dynamicpunch cracked Dwebble's shell pretty easily.
-Luke's filming all of this for some reason...and Bianca gets in his way to ask where Zorua is. why the hell does she care?
-Back at the battle, Trip seems confident...but so does Dento, to the point where it's tasting time again!
-Ahahahahaha Cabernet's angry wiggle dance.
-Bianca's looking for Zorua and happens upon Langely...who seems rather happy and friendly, so it's clearly an impostor!
-Langley shakes her head "no", so Bianca keeps looking for Zorua and finds Langley a short distance down the hall. Bianca's just bright enough to realize that there shouldn't be two Langleys walking around, so Langley Who Is Way Too Cheery reveals herself to be Zorua!
-Back at the battle...HOLY SH
IT DWEBBLE CAN SUMMON BOULDERS FROM THIN AIR.
-Dento wins, then gets double camera attacked - once by Trip(who takes a picture to commemorate losing, I guess?), and then by Luke(who's filming everything because HEY GUYS I HAVE A VIDEO CAMERA). ...isn't Luke chuckling a bit oddly?
-Yep, that Luke was Zorua.
-Cabernet is Not Pleased that Dento won. I swear she's going to have an anyurism if she keeps being this angry.
-Next is Kenyan versus Bianca, with Minccino vs Zebstrika. And...goddamn, those doubleslaps look like they hurt.
-Alas, Minccino loses. Kenyan wins. And even the referree pronounces his name wrong!
-Next is Luke vs Some Random Loser. Luke wins.
-Now there's Iris vs Creepy Watchog Cosplayer. Iris wins. And with that, the first round has been rather quickly wrapped up.
-Later on, Trip's leaving, confusing Ash who doesn't understand why someone would want to go train more instead of watching a bunch of matches involving people they don't particularly care about.
-Look at all that food Kenyan's eating. No wonder he's fat!
-Ash is inspired to...try to eat more than Kenyan? I'm not even going to pretend to understand how his mind works anymore.
-Why is Bianca so goddamned obsessed with Zorua?
-Later, everyone's winding down in their bedroom(Ash by regretting the sheer amount of food he ate, Iris by admiring Dwebble's shell repair, and Dento by having a cup of tea) and wait when the hell did Cabernet find their room.
-Yes, Cabernet literally went into their room
just to insult Dento for 30 seconds.
-In the morning, Ash is excited for his battles. Of course. But then Langley shows up and she and Iris hate on each other while Dento just stares at them.
-And then Zorua shows up to help Iris mock Langley some more. God, I love this rivalry.
-Matchup time! How convenient that the two remaining faceless losers are paired with each other, leaving the important people to have their own matches.
-It's Ash vs Langley, and of course, Langley starts out with the upper hand - Pawniard cuts away Leaf Storm like it ain't no thing(while the credits music from the games kicks in because it's dramatic, I guess).
-Why even give Snivy attract if 90% of its opponents will be conveniently female?
-ahhahahaha Pawniard seriously just got a rock stuck on its head?
-And then we get a cliffhanger.
Too bad future episode titles already tell us who wins
Overall, a pretty solid tournament episode(even if battles don't really give me much to comment on). Though I wonder why they bothered making the distinct weird Watchog guy if his battle was going to be over in ten seconds.
On the bright side, Iris, Langley, and Cabernet all have the best faces.
EDIT:
EDIT: Yeah, I'm waiting for Juputoru's review as well. Usually I watch the episode and wait for him to put up his review, before I post in a discussion thread.
*her.
And don't feel like you have to wait to post anything until I get off my *** and post my review.
where did you guys see all this? i apparently missed out.
Keyhole TV's the only legal place to watch it unless you happen to live in Japan.
