I'm glad Axew and Sraggy's relationship has changed.
Sure no captures from Gothita and Garbodor(Even though this one was unlikely anyway), but I enjoyed it anyway.
I wouldn't liked Tranquill to battle but at least it was used to help search.
I don't think this battle was to determine that at all, Gothita just wanted to battle, that spoiled thing actually came off as kinda courageous.
at Snivy smiling at Axew and Scraggy together, she acted like their mother lol.
I'm 90% certain this girl will come back.
shac I don't consider this a filler :S, the episode was all about developing Axew and Scraggy bound and showing their friendship, we got two battles and like I said I'm certain this girl and Gothitha will come back so its an introduction episode(I might be wrong and she doesn't come back but to me its still not a filler).
I sort of meant overall, no trade for Scraggy. But anyway, that sort of makes sense, why would they have a battle to decide it again, but I still see no point in the battle anyway. That could have been used for something else.
Like Gothita changing it's ways or something like that.
I don't think this girl will come back, she doesn't seem like a rival for Ash to me, but I guess it wouldn't hurt for Ash to get a 4th rival now.
I think you are right, the last battle had nothing to do with the 'trade'. Good to see snivy smacking the **** out of that spoiled brat.
Well, to avoid complexity, I consider any episode not having a major battle/evolution to be a filler.
Did anyone catch what attack Gothita attack that Snivy was 'vine whipping' away. Looked like silver wind.
The best part was when pikachu tries to talk to Garbodor to calm it down, but gothita being the brat she is just tries to attack garbodor again; and then snivy smacks her in the butt. I lol'd at that.
I sort of meant overall, by the time Gothita was defeated, there was no way Koharu could have traded it by that time, otherwise it probably would've been too short and knowing how pushy she is, she could have turned it into a battle with a trade on the line.
But like I said, that battle seems even more pointless, especially when Gothita was still a brat by the end.
Wait a second Pepsi and Shac.
Look what Bulbapedia says.
"Her Gothita took a liking to Ash's Scraggy and wanted her to battle Ash for ownership of him. Not being able to say no to Gothita, she agreed to it. Of course Ash refused to battle her if those were the wages. However, Koharu taunted him until he eventually agreed. He was able to knockout her Mandibuzz with his Tepig before the rest of the battle was canceled by rain. The next day she battled against him again. This time she used her Gothita while he used his Snivy. The battle ended in a loss for Koharu and she was forced to run after her Gothita who left the scene in a fit over the loss."
Looks like it was meant to be a 3 vs. 3 or a 2 vs. 2 battle, but after Ash won the first battle, the rain canceled the rest.
