>>40018977Remember that battle with Paul?
Remember when it was a full 6v6 battle?
Remember how Ash was always on edge waiting for Paul attempt a trap?
Remember how Ash applied every technique he learned from Dawn, Paul, and gym leaders he faced in Sinnoh?
Remember how Ash would deliberately bait Paul into using certain moves that end up giving Ash an advantage (ex. switching to Buizel once he saw Gastrodon knew ice beam in order to pull off an ice aqua jet, Ash purposefully risking a close range hit from Electivire so that Infernate could activite it's blaze)?
Remember how it was a 3-parter battle that involved blending in real game mechanics with plausible anime-only mechanics?
Remember how it was a nice battle that resolved several developed subplots and character arcs into one package?
Good times.
