Recap:
First matchup: Boldore vs. Koffing: Koffing.
- Good battle, Sandstorm is Boldore's go to move.
Second matchup: Unfezant vs. Koffing: Koffing.
- Not so good a battle, Ash tried to counter speed with speed and failed
Third matchup: Leavanny vs. Koffing: Leavanny.
- Quick battle, Stringshot and Energy Ball did the work.
Fourth matchup: Leavanny vs. Scolipede: Scolipede. Really one sided.
- Razor Leaf does nothing to Scolipede.
- Toxic to Leavanny's face causes it to fall on its rear.
- Energy Ball. Dodged by Scolipede.
- Poison does its effect and hurts Leavanny.
- Rock Tomb hits Leavanny.
- Sludge Bomb KO's the battered Leavanny.
Fifth matchup: Pignite vs. Scolipede: Pignite wins.
- Flame Charge vs. Bug Buzz.
- I missed a move.
- Flame Charge again. Brings Scolipede down to the ground, but it gets up.
- Pignite fires Flamethrower, but misses and gets hit with a poison move and gets poisoned.
- Fire Pledge takes out Scolipede.
- Pignite loses the poisoning due to a Pecha Berry that appeared from somewhere.. :S
Sixth matchup: Pignite vs. Garbodor. Good battle, really showed Pignite struggling.
- But before that, the crowd goes wild. Iris feels she need to support Ash.
- Flame Charge, missed like in the preview.
- Body Slam on Pignite. Awkward shot is awkward.
- Double Slap to Pignite hurts.
- Pignite's struggling, misses FLamethrower.
- Tackle from Pignite does wonders to Garbodor... TACKLE????
- Garbodor stops another Fire Pledge by stopping Pignite's punch!!!
- And throws Pignite away!
- And hits Pignite again and again with Double Slap!!!
- IRIS STARTS DRUMMING ON A BONGO!!!!
- This Double Slap is brutal...
- Fire Pledge fails because Garbodor used Hyper Beam on the trail of fire pillars.
- Hyper Beam goes on and KO's Pignite. A good battle, but I fear for Palpitoad.
Seventh matchup: Palpitoad vs. Garbodor. Make or break, evolution or not! No evolution, and Venoshock really seems overpowered.
- Iris and Cilan are glad with this choice.
- Mud Shot misses.
- These two pokemon really are likeminded.
- DareDa: Garbodor
- Meloetta is sad... She's an emotional wreck!
- Hyperbeam vs. Hydro Pump.
- Pikachu notices Meloetta.
- Mud Shot vs. Gunk Shot, Palpitoad is poisoned.
- Ewwww.. A green sludgelike move, probably Venoshock. It hurts Palpitoad bad.
- Palpitoad continues!!! More Venoshock's cause Palpitoad to faint. Sadly...
Last matchup: Pikachu vs. Garbodor: We know how this will end.
- Double Slap from Garbodor, Pikachu dodges like hell. But Garbodor gets itself in a knot!
- Quick Attack hits Garbodor. It flinches. I call this a cheap shot.
- Pikachu dodges another Double Slap by jumping rope.
- Thunderbolt hurts Garbodor, and it gets up again.
- Iris is drumming..
- Iron Tail, countered by a Double Slap.
- Garbodor untangles its arms.
- Pikachu barely dodges a Gunk Shot,
- But now Garbodor is covering the field in gunk, causing smoke and then hits Pikachu with a Double Slap to the roof.
- Pikachu falls, but is repeatedly hit by Double Slap...
- Iris isn't liking this and doing something to Cilan.
- More Double Slapping... And oops... Static...
- A Gunk Shot to Pikachu gives Pikachu a poisoned status.
- Pikachu is really struggling.
- Meloetta is almost crying.
- Iris screems to Ash and they're in face paint!!!
- Iris: A Thunder pattern, Cilan in a fire pattern!
- Static really affects Garbodor now, I call a cheap shot coming.
- Thunderbolt hurts Garbodor bad.
