People have talked about ridiculous moments from the anime since the beginning of time
but nothing can top Ash battling Valerie
>Ash uses Hawlucha, a Fighting type, against a Fairy type gym leader
>Valerie has Spritzee use Trick Room
keep in mind that Trick Room in the anime is a literal room made of energy
>Spritzee uses Gyro Ball
>Ash has Hawlucha CATCH it as a ball, uses the momentum to jump off of the wall of Trick Room, uses X-Scissor on Spritzee
>Valerie has Spritzee use Dazzling Gleam, but Hawlucha's X-Scissor CUTS THROUGH THE DAZZLING GLEAM, crashes into the other wall of Trick Room, and BREAKS TRICK ROOM
and they fucking justify it by saying that while X-Scissor isn't effective against Fairy, it IS super effective on Psychic types, and Trick Room is a Psychic type move, which is why it was "a great idea" and that "Ash is amazing".
this is somehow worse than thunder armor Swellow
