Number one choice is definitely Wattson, in their second match he lost outright due to his own incompetence and even in the first Ash won through unfair luck as Pikachu was given a random powerup and Ash didn't notice his partner's condition or didn't care. Either way he was unworthy both times. He should battle Sabrina who he joked around with instead of beating, Brock who he beat with a sprinkler trick (and really why don't they go off in nearly every battle in the gym? I mean everything explodes in the anime), Misty as he should have got the badge from a serious gym leader not a hobbyist. Basically any Gym Leader he didn't beat with battling skill, and maybe Erika too although he did deserve a badge for saving her Gloom in a fire. And Liza & Tate for that thunder armour **** which made no sense at all.
It's part of Ash's weird trackrecord against Electric-type gymleaders.. For some reason, they're Always made into freaking unbeatable goliaths:
- Surge: Overcrowded the freaking Vermillion PokéCenter on a weekday...
- Wattson: Ash has no conclusive win at all.
- Volkner: Ash needed to halt the first battle due to Team Rocket, but was getting schooled.
- Elesa: We had to witness Bianca getting owned before Ash barely made it out alive, oh, and why was Snivy in that battle for gods sake!?
- Clemont: Already had one battle, where he was shown able to counter his specialty type the first time Ash was in Lumiose City.
You want him to fight animé Giovanni as well if I'm getting your sentiment.. Good luck seeing Kanto Ash beat Mewtwo.. -.-
I think he should rematch Tobias and Cameron and Paul.
1)For Tobias he should use his best team and defeat him in an epic battle.
2)For Cameron I just want them to make a 3v6 so Ash can show how much better a trainer than Cameron. Or he can can just sweep him to make up for that terrible excuse for a league battle.
3)For Paul I just want an epic battle with little BS like the last one they had except better.
Heracross got Sleep Talk, Mega Horn, Hyperbeam and Focus Punch to deal with Darkrai and STILL didn't win. There literally isn't anything else that would've worked to be quite frank. Sceptile only beat it because of plot. And I disagree with the necessity, because Tobias was just a plot-device, whereas Cameron was (supposed to be) a character.
Cameron:
- If Ash actually had a regular team he would've whiped the floor with Cameron. If he didn't have a Snivy and Oshawott, and instead evolved Palpitoad, then he would've owned Cameron. A team featuring Boldore, Pignite, Leavanny, Pikachu, Unfezant, Krookodile would've won. Best Wishes was a bad series, but the dumping didn't even end here.. Cheren was wasted, and so was Team Plasma with that weak N-arc, not to mention Da! which is why the primary BW-arc was rushed for. Horrid, horrid arc.
Trip:
- Why he didn't get at least a 3vs3 is beyond me. Sure, Best Wishes wasn't DP with a story-arc between Ash and a rival, so I wasn't expecting another Ash vs. Paul-like 3parter, but at least a regular full battle akin to Ash vs. Katie would've been adequate. The fact that Ash vs. Stephan is widely accepted as the best battle in that league (with an underdeveloped rival, while the battle featured underdeveloped pokemon: Stephan's Liepard, and Ash's Palpitoad/Leavanny)
