Okay, cross that. I meant how Emolga used Volt Switch. Usually she likes hitting random objects or the ground beneath her, missing her opponent completely. But I guess that's more towards her issue with not listening to Iris =/

@The sandwich: Volt Switch doesn't switch out pokemon if the opponent is KOed by the attack. Iris pretty much pulled off a risky move by using it since she'd pretty much be disqualified if Emolga was switched out.

Actually, Emolga I think most of the time does hit the opponent with Volt Switch before she switches out. I'm trying to remember but I'm pretty sure she always hits the opponent when using Volt Switch.

Even if Sawk wasn't KOed by Volt Switch I don't think Emolga would have switched out of the battle since it had turned in her favor again.

I wonder why Iris never commanded Emolga to use Discharge... its just like when Ash battled Stephan and Waten Gun was completely ignored.

Didn't she usually hit the ground? Or maybe I've been seeing it wrong since her capture episode.

Losses like this can happen sometimes... although Pikachu is stronger than Excadrill and Ash is a better trainer than Iris... This tournament did not mean a tremendous lot for Ash but it did for Iris after all the good and bad times with her Excadrill and about her goal of becoming a dragon master...

^ True. I agree that Pikachu MAY be stronger and the tournament meaning a lot to Excadrill, but I don't agree about Ash being a better trainer than Iris. XD

Iris should have won against Ash just because he used Pikachu against her Excadrill. I'm not suprised at this outcome.

Iris called out Excadrill after Ash chose Pikachu, not the other way around.

How exactly is Iris a better trainer than Ash? She makes the same mistakes as he does...like with Axew, she used Scratch on Golett when it clearly was known to be a Ghost type. At least Ash gave a reason to why he had Pikachu use Thunderbolt, which was to strengthen its spirit

An episode I didn't like.
Satoshi showed during the whole anime that Pokemon types didn't really matter if you use your brain. Pikachu was able to use in the first seasons his agility to get past the opponent's defense, and knock them out in a way or another.
Here, after all he did, using his brain, he wants Pikachu to stop a big creature going at top speed with his Iron Tail?...That is really fanservice I think. Just a way to make Iris wins, whilst she should not.
For Satoshi, who aims to be the world's greatest Pokémon trainer, this is really a stupid thing to do. Come on, can't the writers make him wins a tournament just ONE time? An easy one also? For Pikachu's sake, seriously.

*Rm*. In short, I didn't like that one. Don't mean to offense anyone. I just didn't like the way they made it.

The battle could have been better and not feel so cheap. That's what people I think are really some what upset about. It doesn't matter if it was Cilan or Iris who was his opponent. A cheap battle is a cheap battle. I guess it kind of feels like a Tobais rip off.

Yeah, but Tobias had an excuse; using two legendary Pokémons. Here, it was an escadrill that we never saw battling that much, and he beated the crap out of Pikachu in no time.
That was really too cheap.

Pikachu still did a significant amount of damage to excadrill according to Iris. But really, how was Pikachu suppose to win this battle anyway? All he had was Iron Tail really.....that's it.

I never said Iris was better either. You said it yourself: they both make the same mistakes, which is why I don't think Ash is better either.

No she didn't. She wasn't even cocky, Ash and Iris just congratulated each other for a good battle. Iris was just so cute and excited and sent the feathers she won to the Dragon Village.

What the hell? What do you think happened "offscreen"? LOL!

You hate Iris for the sake of hating her and don't give credit where is due, and watch the episode. ;)
