Dash, Charjabug!

Charjabug Races are very popular in Alola and Sophocles is a huge fan. Wanting to enter with his Charjabug, Sophocles recruits Ash and Kiawe to team up with him to enter a race, but his Charjabug seems very docile and doesn't move fast in the car. Wih lots of training done, when the day of the race comes, it proves to be tough for Sophocles. Would he be able to win?

I ended up being pleasantly surprised by this episode. I found it hilarious (and kudos to Sophocles for getting one over the Genesect team)!

The Bewear moment and the Ridge Racer reference were the best parts for me. It was a nice episode for Sophocles and Charjabug but not really a memorable episode overall at least to me.

Well at least it wasn't a total filler, Charjabug got as new move out of it if nothing else.

As expected, a disappointing filler episode. Charjabug finally got to do something, but it was hardly memorable, and it hardly got any character development whatsoever. Ash being the centre of the slapstick(getting knocked out by a Charjabug) was as annoying as ever. 3/10.

Saving a Charjabug from crashing isn't slapstick lmao.

Had Ash not saved him, Sophocles' Charjabug would have been out of the race.

It is. Basically being the buttmonkey as he has always been in SM, this time just for the attempt to save Charjabug from crashing.

Who the hell was going to save it then? Who?
If the writers made Ash save Chargabug successfully and not made him get hurt and knocked out, it'd have been much better, simple.

This is a Sophocles-focused episode. He had to get knocked out so Sophocles could get the victory.

It's as simple as that.

Sophocles focused or Charjabug focused? It seemed the latter to me. I don't see what would've been wrong had Ash along with Chargabug got the victory.

And he did just that.

Thanks for ignoring the rest of my post.

But Ash did get the victory by being part of the team

Sophocles was just the final runner having made use of Charjabugs string shot to stop sliding on the ice

Ash was a part of the team. He played his own part and let the trainer who owned Charjabug to finish the job. It's totally fair.

And that's why we got to see Ash as the buttmonkey once again. That's not fair.

...Because Charjabug isn't his Pokemon.
