>>53038242>Paul using literally who's instead of team members that Ash needed some revenge onWell that was kind of the point. Ash is a sentimentalist trying to achieve an emotional victory meanwhile Paul is a pragmatist who couldn't give less of a shit about things like that.
Ash and Paul were perfect foils of each other. If Ash would do one thing then Paul would probably do the opposite and vice versa. That's a large part of why their rivalry was so great.
Like if Paul was a more generic less-interesting douchebag rival he'd actually probably would have used his Lake Acuity team to try to flex on Ash by beating him with the same team twice. But Paul is too interesting of a character to go for such an obvious cliche.
