>>27927201>Show makes a big deal about him going back to get Goodra.>During his battle we even get a cut to Goodra's Florges waifu and swamp friends cheering him on back home.>Up until this point he had always managed to take down at least one Pokemon.>This time he completely drops the ball and is absolutely DESTROYED without doing anything but setting up a Rain Dance, which Greninja immediately proceeded to waste because Ash had him use FUCKING CUT.You can really tell that they brought in different writers for this episode, there was so much buildup that never amounted to anything and suddenly Alain was the main character fighting for his friends while Ash got no internal dialogue to match it.
