That glorious reused footage! Just look at that Ferrothorn move! Like poetry in motion.
 
It's nice to know that Stephan will use his Zebstrika during the first round.
 
After the unholy disaster known as the PWTJC, I haven't really set my hopes sky high this time. It's good that Stephan is finally using Zebstrika again though after shoving Sawk in our faces like there was no tomorrow...

Kotetsu is just meh really, I'm more interested in seeing what Virgil can do. Hoping Bianca does good too, maybe she can actually beat Stephan this time, Shame Georgia and Burgundy aren't here this time, especially since Burgundy actually has a badge.

As for Trip, well anybody who has seen my posts knows exactly what I want for him...

I think this is for this episode.

So is this one.

"'The Isshu League Higaki Tournament begins! Satoshi VS Shooty!!' Satoshi and friends finally arrive in Higaki City, where the Isshu League is to be held. And it seems that in the preliminary matches that finally begin, Satoshi ends up facing Shooty and Jalorda..."

and for the other scan -

"Having arrived in Higaki City, on the way back from entering the tournament, Satoshi and friends find a Kotetsu and a Riolu in a glade that have been waiting for orders there for three days. However, surprisingly hearing that he hasn't entered the tournament yet, Satoshi hurries to the Reception with Kotetsu as the closing time draws near."

with thanks to bluesun.
 
So Ash vs. Trip is indeed a preliminary match. In this case, it will be 1-on-1 just like it had been for the other regional competitions.
 
So maybe this means that Trip doesn't get knocked out here, just loses. though I would guess that he does

Sounds a little bit like Morrison...

I think its quite novel that he'd face a rival in the peliminaries, its not impossible after all. Although its odd because Trip is the only rival with a full team, will we ever see his other pokemon again? Tranquill, Frillish, Lampent and Vanilite haven't even been shown to evolve, In DP the only rival pokemon that were not shown to have evolved were Kenny's Machoke and Nando's Kricetot (probs because he already had Kricketune)

Lots of rivals Pokemon don't do anything important in the long run. Ash never did beat Paul's Magmortar or Torterra after all. Lots of Zoey's extra Pokes went unused as well.

Trip's only vital Pokemon was Serperior, the rest of his team was shown to be either average battlers or nothing special, I don't think it matters really.

I should also mention tha Ursula had an unevolved Gabite and Jigglypuff...

Regardless wheather Seperior is the only one of Trip's pokemon to make a huge impact, the others are established as oppose to all Virgills pokemon that are only just gonna be introduced and any other pokemon Bianca, Stephan and Kotetsu get.
