I'm sad that Ash vs Astrid was only really reduced to a cameo. With how many times we've seen her (more times than most other characters.) you'd expect at least a full episode battle. Then again, this is the Kalos League. Quite possibly the most underwhelming league to date. (it's going to fast for it's own good.) Apart from that though I found the rest of the episode pretty good. Sawyer vs Tierno was ok even though they both actually made some really stupid decisions. Seriously, who teaches Solarbeam to a Ludicolo? Especially a RAIN DANCE LUDICOLO! Sawyer's stupid decision wasn't nearly as stupid but as Raichu was digging against Aegislash, I couldn't help shouting out loud multiple times, "USE KING'S SHIELD! USE KING'S SHIELD!"
