Well, this half was better than the first half, but still pretty lackluster. The move spamming just annoys the hell out of me, and it didn't help that both Lycanroc knew Stone Edge. I think I would have enjoyed this battle more had there been a larger variety of moves used.
Pikachu vs. Zoroark was decent I'll say. I do wish they'd lasted a bit longer, tho. I was very happy to see Ash have Pikachu use Breakneck Blitz instead of one of his electric Z-Moves.
The Lycanroc battle seemed like too much at times. Ash's dog took so much damage, including 3 counters, but was still able to fight. Yet Gladion's dog take's a few hits and is bruised up and then down for the count. It came across as unbelievable, just like when M-Lycanroc battled Kiawe. Now I did like how Outrage confused Lycanroc and had him hurt himself. But the fact that he broke out of it so quickly kind of ruined it. It would have been better imo, had GGladion lost due to his dog being confused and unable to save himself instead of....Countering Counter. Again, Ash's dog takes 3 of these along with other attacks and is totally fine, but all it takes is one to K.O. Gladions....whatever.
I am happy that after 20+ years Ash has finally won a region's league, but I am pretty miffed that it was this league. I feel like the hype just wasn't there for me. 6/10.
Gladion laughing tho...that was surprising.
