Brock is nowhere to be found and thus will not be getting his balls drained by Ivy in this anime reenactment.
From here on out, I don't actually remember much of the Orange Islands anime arc. I only remember:
>Butch and Cassidy hijack an entire island>Ash races a qt on a Blastoise for a badge>There was a pink island>There was an island made up of Kabuto>Ash eventually wins the league>>55651705>Mutating your pokemon is a consumable resourceHaving a consumable limit break system sounds sensible for an RPG yet really retarded for Pokemon. I can see how a dev would arrive at the conclusion it's a good idea, but that sounds fucked to balance no matter how you cut it. If fights are balanced around the player not having it, using a mega lets a player "skip" trainers. If fights are balanced around players using it on each major boss, now there's a mandatory grind/walkback tax to refill your supply before or after each use.
