Clemont figured out the Psybeam and Shadow Ball came from Team Rocket. FINALLY someone brought a brain. Including that Clembot investigation, he is a CSI material. And Clemont came up with the distraction plan to let Ash and Goodra proceed, truly the MVP of this episode.
Lets not complain about the story writing first. Team Rocket once again hid away a huge freaking flying machine at some place that is physically impossible let alone unnoticed. And what is Team Rocket thinking by revealing the fact that they are the bad guys in front of Florges? To make sure they make one more enemy? That leading to their downfall is the best I think, Idiocy at its finest. I figured out that Goodra is still injured. BUT Team Rocket forgot the fact that Ash has 3 other Pokemon than Pikachu and Goodra? Do they even STAND A FREAKING CHANCE? Idiocy on a whole another level. But Ash did forgot he has 3 other Pokemons..... Idiocy on rampage!
Floette joining the hands of Florges and Goodra together. THAT SCENE. I dunno how to describe. WHAT EXACTLY did Ash saw? I don't understand. Maybe its the interaction between all 4 Pokemon (Goodra, Floette, Florges and Wooper) which made Ash consider releasing Goodra, but I dunno why I didn't feel that way. That you jump I jump scene. Sigh.. lost words to describe. I am shocked when Goodra jumped, but Ash jumped too? Is it even needed (where is your Fletcheinder)? Ash will jump ofcourse, but him catching up with the falling Goodra and Florges felt unbelievably fake and he truly accomplised nothing by doing so. Unlike the first epsode, him shielding Pikachu will atleast make sure Pikachu will be safe. Here? Not quite. Anyways, Goodra's friends did something useful? That's new.
Now into the most horrid part of this two-parter. STORYWRITING. I find it stupid to believe in any single plot in these episodes because of the overwhelming number of plot holes, and each of the plot holes are ridiculously big.
When did Team Rocket started to drain the waters at the Swamp? From what I know prior Ash catches Goomy they had been stalking Ash. And why would they blame it to the Pokemons in the swamp for over-consumption of water? So that they attack the Swamp Pokemons and blast Goomy away then so Goodra can bring Ash to the Swamp and so their trap can work? Logic be damned. This is horrid.
Another Logic problem. How do the Swamp Pokemons deplete the water? The cave is situated above the swamp right? ....... Seriously? I know there are natural phenomenons that make water flows upwards, but this is certainly no the case. Once again, logic be damned.
Overall, I love Goodra's personality, so is Florges', and Clemont is smart in this episode. Bonnie is totally unhelpful and finally, laughable story, in fact unlaughable, too ****ed up to be humorous about it.
Quite sad Goodra is definitely not coming back, but then, it might be for the best so that they won't remind us this bad story.
-5/10, negative five. One hell of a bad story.
