Weav-vile is correct. Shinji did indeed release 2 of the three Mukuru he had captured, and kept one of them which went on to beat Ash's. After which, he returned it to it's pokéball, and then sent out Hikozaru for round 2.
Besides...what reason would he have to release the creature if it had won it's battle without breaking a sweat?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that!
The episodes are awesome, btw.
EDIT: No, no, no...
He releasead his Mukkuru... :\
I've made a mistake, sorry!
