Well, that sucks. Looks like, apart from Brawly, Ash has managed to avoid any Gym Losses... right when he needed one too. (After managing to smash apart the rest of the other Gym Leaders.

) It's truly a pity, because now I doubt we'll ever get to see Sootopolis after this, unless The Scriptwriters see fit to give us a *decent* ending to the Kyorge vs Groudon Storyline. (I am of course refering to the Cave of Origin, mentioned in 'A Three Team Scheme'.)
Cue lots of 'Heh, Alfonso sucks and was totally wrong' comments.

I admit, I was wrong. But I still stand by my thoughts on the matter... I think that Ash should have lost this one and realised that he'll have to turn up a notch if he hopes to have any chance of winning the Houen League.
That, and I think it's safe to say that ONCE AGAIN Pikachu has saved the day. -_- I hope he gets totally ignored in the League.
