Day 26 - Favorite Moment from the Pokemon Anime?
(those doing the challenge changed today's question, because it was originally the exact same question as yesterday)
This one was a bit harder for me because I haven't watched the anime since Unova (family cut cable before Kalos, and I was too lazy to find it online). However, of the first few moments to come to mind, one of my favorites is the battle between Ash vs. Elesa. Here's a quick summary of how this episode plays out, but a version is linked below.
1. Ash spends the entire night before his battle "strategizing"
2. Ash's entire "strategy" to beat Elesa is to beat all 3 of her Pokemon with Palpitoad.
3. Palpitoad faints, and it's revealed Ash didn't even bring any other Pokemon with him to the gym battle.
4. Ash "counters" Emolga and Attract with Snivy, forgetting both that Emolga is a Flying-type, which is super effective against Snivy, and that Snivy is also Female so he can't counter Attract with Attract.
5. Snivy faints, and Ash again doesn't have a clue how to counter Electric-types.
6. Pikachu electrocutes Ash, frustrated that Ash has forgotten Pikachu exists.
7. Emolga faints, and reveals her ace "electric queen" is Tynamo.
8. Ash and crew are baffled at how Tynamo could be Elesa's strongest Pokemon and make fun of Tynamo
9. Tynamo is revealed to have literal god speed and is insanely fast, easily pounding Pikachu into the ground (literally)
10. Ash still wins though because the Anime has spent too much time in Nimbasa city at this point.
It's a pure fucking disaster of a mess, but it's entertaining af.
