So this was very underwhelming(nothing to do with Satoshi losing)...
Goodra sets up Rain Dance, but not really since it disappears right away, making Goodra absolutely useless in the match, to further prove this, Greninja comes and one shot Bisharp.
The Charizard vs Greninja battle was o weird, so many pauses, and very bad fight coordination frankly. The last clash was just lame, it didn't have an impact at all, Unfezant vs Talonflame thad more last week.
The best part of the episode was the Team Flare part to me, even though I think they should have given more time to the fight, and give Team flare a smaller segment, we got plenty of episodes coming.
I enjoyed last week episode way more than this one, though this was a pretty bad ending to an enjoyable battle
Dragon jobbers gonna job.
Also is Greninja Shuriken, Froakie flubber thingies now? it can do everything, can he feed starving children with those shuriken?
I could tell this was The B plot, the A plot was clearly the Flare Arc
Clearly, which is mindboggling why Satoshi main objective is the secondary plot...
