>>37810022its because ash and paul have a rock/paper/scissors relationship
ash's recklessness lets him beat experienced trainers with his creativity because he is unpredictable
paul however beats ash's retardation by sticking to the basics, (and making him mad in the process) thus letting paul read his moves even more easily
however paul's basics are smashed by the sheer power of high levels (Brandon) thus getting rekt because he cannot get creative in the hardest of times.
