*has the shakes* You have no… idea… how hard it was to hold out on spoilers until %^& bittorrent got its arse in gear. But those dark times are behind me now, alleluia. I’m writing this as I watch the episode.
Good animation team = happy Drew fangirl.
Absol is pwetty!
HARLEY FILES HIS NAILS. *dead… again… how many times is that man going to kill me?*
Wakana-chan!!! If only they’d showed more of her. I wanted to see her reaction to whatever it is Drew said to Jessie.
Drew’s being even more anti-social than usual. That can’t be good.
Fire Blast? Is there any attack Octan can’t do?
Awww, Octan’s dancing. That’s cute in an… incomprehensible way. Considering how clearly kickass it is, it seems a pity it’s not battling.
Oh yippee, Aipom’s back. >_< I hope Ash isn’t about to prioritise getting his hat back over watching May’s appeal. Come on, he must know by now that the little git’s going to show up a billion more times before TPTB put us out of our misery.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Pikachu Volt Tackled its monkey butt!! Go Ash!
…….Oh sweet Jesus, he’s going to try to capture it. No, Ash, no!
Oh thank God.
Heeeee, I love it when Ash gets brained by flying objects.
Man, Aipom sucks.
HARLEY STICKS OUT HIS PINKY FINGER.
May’s using Munchlax? I was hoping for Eevee.
Oooh, I take it back. That was nifty. Bit short, though.
OH MY GOD DREW’S TRYING TO KILL HIMSELF.
OK, scene over. Drew’s still alive, if cracked. This is one of those bits I nod and smile through until some kind person puts up a translation. Slightly disappointed that the whole group was there instead of just May, though… *beats inner Contestshipper over the head and wrestles her into a box*
When Harley’s onscreen, everything’s better. <3
Lol, it just occurred to me that if this was the Harry Potter fandom, all the anti-Drew fans would be out in force complaining that he’s a Stu because his backstory is currently being “told, not shown”. Although seriously, it would be nice to have more May/Drew one on one scenes instead of her getting everything through the Saori filter. That woman’s beginning to seem like an attractive expositional device.
Ash/Drew/Brock bonding! Squee!
Hey, not many co-ordinators made it through! It only looked like sixteen to me. Good, I was hoping for that. It means if May battles Drew and loses immediately after battling Harley, she won’t move down a place from the last GF.
Awww, Ebil Wigglytuff. How cute.
F*CK OFF, AIPOM.
The annoying thing about contest battles is that every time a Pokémon does anything, in addition to the commentary from the peanut gallery that we always get in gym matches, the judges have to sit around talking about it for half an hour, too. Just fight, already!
Wow, this is the first time in a contest double battle that one Pokémon’s been knocked out before its partner. Poor Cacturne, it didn’t get to do much.
Seriously, if you chopped all the talking out of these matches, they’d be one minute long.
Yey, B*tch Slap attack! How can anyone say Wigglytuff doesn’t suit Harley?
Firing off attacks at random is not a good strategy, May. And how come Solarbeam is charging so quickly?
Hang on… at the start of the battle, Eevee and Munchlax ran full force into Wigglytuff while it was inflated, and they bounced right off. Now, Munchlax Focus Punches Wigglytuff while it was inflated, and it’s a knock out?
Poor Harley-san. Oh well, I have hope that he’ll stick around. Whatever his new plan for this episode was, it seemed to involve Drew, so perhaps he’ll continue with it next ep.
I mean it, Aipom. F*ck. Off.
Woooow, Saori pimp-slapped that guy all over the field.
May VS Drew is happening already? Meep.
Yup, of course she’s using Squirtle. -_- Eh, Absol and/or Flygon are bound to lay the smackdown on it at some point… right?
Oh, like there’s any way May won’t beat Drew if they’re placing the battle NOW. *grumbles*
Holy crap, Combusken!
Animation for the next ep looks even better.
