>>28179189Ash is truly a dumbass
What trainer goes to the Pokemon League, knowing there will be strong as fuck trainers there, including a rival who just kicked his ass and another rival who continues to kick his ass, and brings a Pokemon who hasn't been in a battle since the 5th gym? Do you know how fucking underleveled Goodra probably was? Holy shit
AND THE KICKER - The motherfucker actually thought about bringing one of his Oak reserves instead.
We can blame Goodra for why Ash lost to Alain. There is no refuting it.
