If anything, Ash acted OOC, should he not be paying attention to all of his team members, as per usual (what other Pokemon has he neglected before?)?
It sure angered me while I watched...
On a side note, one of the reason I loved this episode is it reminded me that not too long ago, we watched Pika as a baby Pichu and seeing the way Pikachu behaved was a reminder that Pika-chan is just a small young mouse pokemon with feelings.
3rd time they bring up jealousy in this season. It would surely annoy me if my Pokemon were jealous of one another but I would make sure the problem isn't me (like how Ash had to apologize because HE was shitty to Pikachu), I think of the episode with Croagunk and Piplup I would not stand that.
