Ash vs. Cynthia continued:

Cynthia still looks great and there was a marked improvement in the animation and overall intensity.

After the tie in the last episode, Cynthia sent out Garchomp and Ash sent out Dracovish. Garchomp blocked an Ice Fang and used Stealth Rock, then she changed it for Roserade. As expected, no burn due to Natural Cure.
Roserade poisoned Dracovish. Dracovish did well, tanking through Leaf Storm with Dragon Rush and KOing Roserade.
Cynthia sent out Milotic; Draco was able to use Fishious Rend on it, doing major damage before being KOd.
Ash used Sirfetch'd next which KOd the Milotic, after using Brutal Swing to get rid of the Stealth Rock.
Cynthia sent out Garchomp; Sirfetch'd was able to use Meteor Assault on Garchomp, dealing damage, before Garchomp KOd it.
Lucario is Ash's last. Cynthia returned Garchomp, bringing Togekiss back. Lucario hit it with multiple Bullet Punches before Cynthia decided to Dynamax Togekiss. Episode ended with Ash seeing the Dynamaxed Togekiss and considering Mega Evolving his Lucario.

Ash hasn't returned once, though he tried to return Dracovish and it said no.

Ash has just Lucario left while Cynthia has Kiss and Chomp.

I'm a little uneasy about this, it's not impossible that he loses.

Like I said before, Cynthia was the only one not named Leon I could see Ash losing to.

Didn't expect this to get a third episode, or at least half of one.

I'm with XIII, Lucario victory is likeliest, but Ash kicking the tourney bucket here still feels distinctly possible. I don't like that we're going to Goh (heh) after this fight. I realize Chloe got stuff recently as well, but ehh. The saving grace here is that there's no episode following Cynthia to see who takes the crown or anything, meaning surely there's a high chance that's not a wrap regardless.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Leon stomps Cynthia mostly offscreen like he's been doing to everyone else so far.

Togekiss whittling down Lucario as much as possible for Garchomp to finish it off makes sense to me. Not like this is the games where Togekiss gets immediately one shot by Bullet Punch. Plus might get to see Lucario's whole moveset before Garchomp comes back out

Second strongest trainer in the world. Her ace gets walled by any Fairy type. Makes perfect sense.

Yeah that sounds like a feature not a bug

I haven't watched pokemon in decades but I am pleasantly surprised that it seems to be crafting battles with actual strategy

The other thing is that her strategy seems to be let Togekiss weaken Lucario so Garchomp can finish it, but Garchomp took a huge hit from Sirfetch'd (and it's even harder if the writers remember that Scale Shot lowers defense), and all it has to take on the Steel type Lucario is three attacks Lucario resists and a now-useless support move.

Yeah, the writers have done a good job showing Garchomp is weakened quite a bit while Lucario is pretty fresh. The good news for Cynthia is she still have Togekiss to weaken Lucario.

Lucario immediately Mega Evolved, then was able to withstand Dmax Togekiss though it seemed to take a lot of Luke's energy to do it. It beat Togekiss after it returned to normal form, but it's panting.

Now down to Mega Lucario vs. Garchomp.

Garchomp and Luke had a relatively short battle, but it was brutal; they stood up to each other and threw down, with Lucario just about standing tall in the end. There was a particularly great image of Scale Shot colliding with Aura Sphere with both Pokemon in the shot as well. With the music and the way both were presented, it felt appropriately big.

Ash vs. Leon in the final, as expected, but seeing Cynthia beaten was deeply satisfying.

Animation wise it was always going to lose to anything from XY, which was great by this show's standards. But the result of the Alain fight was an awful insult that precludes it being up there with the best, and Cynthia's strategies were more interesting than most of what Sawyer did and the magnitude of the battle does help it.

I'd put it #3 or 4. If like me you think Ash/Paul is head and shoulders above, then it's in the Kukui and Sawyer range.

I pretend the fight afterwards just doesn't exist and that Ash vs Sawyer was the actual final.

As it should be.

I think Ash vs Paul is overall the best fight, but in terms of single poke vs single poke, Gren vs Scep wins for me.

Underrated fight that makes top 3-5 for me is Vs Olympia. Doubles fights always have the opportunity to be high class stuff and this is peak doubles fighting. Great stuff all around.

She used it in the first round against Iris. She wasn't allowed to use it this round because there's a one gimmick per battle rule and she already used Dynamax on Togekiss

Leon's team revealed after today's recap/preview:

Cinderace, Inteleon, Rillaboom, Mr. Rime, Dragapult, Charizard

Three starters is a bit cookie cutter but I quite like them as Pokemon, while Mr. Rime is a great, strange choice.

Also confirmed that Dawn will be at the stadium watching.

Leon proposed to use all 3 gimmicks in the match and Ash accepted. Whether that means Leon uses all three, idk. If Ash uses 3 to Leon's 1, I think that'll be cheap

Dawn and Chloe arrived to watch. Leon started with Cinderace, who used Scorching Sand to become a Ground type with Libero, nullifying Thunderbolt. Ash withdrew Pikachu and Leon withdrew Cinderace.

Gengar vs. Inteleon; Gengar G-Maxes and wins. Mr. Rime then KO'd Gengar, end of episode.

Part 2 started with Sirfetch'd vs. Rime, Ash switched it out
Lucario came in, Mega Evolved and took out Rime
Leon used Dragapult, Ash used Luke for a bit then switched to Dracovish. Leon used Dragon Tail to force out Dracovish and bring in Dragonite, then Dragon Tail again to force out Lucario. Bullet Punch was disabled by cursed body and Luke was KOd by flamethrower.

Ash brought in Dragonite which finally KOd Dragapult

Episode ended with Dragonite vs. Rillaboom. Ash is up 4-3 but his team are tired. That said the numerical advantage for Ash makes me feel he's less likely to win.

Preview shows G-Max Charizard, Pikachu's z-move, and Eternatus for some reason. A bit concerning.
