Re: BW22 & 25 - Hiun City and the Gym Battle
I didn't think Ash would lose to two Gym leaders in a row anyway. They're probably saving his second loss for either the 5th, 6th, or 7th Gym leader.
That doesn't surprise me what with the group spending three episodes in Hiun City prior to the gym battle. Back in DP, they were only in Oreburgh for four episodes, and the second episode of that was the first attempt for the gym battle. Compare that to the (seemingly) faster-paced BW, and I don't see how they could spend more than five or six episodes in Hiun.
