No doubt about it, Alain is a skilled Trainer, but it still hurt seeing Ash so close only to lose to a Mega Pokemon. Eventually, Ash's Greninja loses to Alain's Mega Charizard. The battle is better-scripted than prior encounters no single Pokemon demonstrates too much power. In his latest League match (as of this writing) at the Lumiose Conference, Ash narrowly loses to Alain, ironically to a Charizard. Could the next season chronicling the X and Y games redeem the show?Īsh-Greninja Vs Mega Charizard X Vs Alain (Kalos League)Ĭredit where it's due: this season put effort into showcasing Alain's power prior to the League, and we finally saw Ash make it to the finals. Some had hope that Ash would mix his old team with his new for the tournament (after all, Charizard returned for a bit earlier in the season) but no such luck.

This emotion magnifies when we see Cameron lose his next match against Virgil with Lucario performing far more poorly.īy this point, many fans had abandoned the anime after a string of poor English dubs, new voice actors, and ridiculous League losses this match didn't help matters. Yes, Riolu's evolution increased its power, but the entire encounter felt stilted. Finally, Lucario defeats a previously-damaged Pikachu, winning the match.Next, Riolu beats Snivy (and evolves into Lucario).Cameron's first-stage Riolu defeats Ash's third-stage Unfezant, even with a type disadvantage.At least Hydreigon is a third-stage and powerful Pokemon. His Hydreigon takes out two of Ash's Pokemon before falling and damages a third.The fight proceeds with things going a little too conveniently for Cameron. By the way, Cameron's an idiot, accidentally bringing five Pokemon to a 6 on 6 match and repeatedly smacking himself with his headband to decide which Pokemon to use. One lackluster adventure later, he collects the eight needed badges, enters the League, beats rival Trip, and faces his friend Cameron. In his Black and White experiences, Ash again resets his team to only Pikachu and travels with his most annoying companions yet: Cilan and Iris. Pictured: An idiot Vs Cameron (Unova League)
