Why It Rocks

  • This episode was a decent way to start the Ash vs. Gary Two-Parter Arc.
  • The plot is well-done, with the tension of the battle between Ash and Gary heating up as we get to the exciting battle.
  • The beginning picks up where the last episode left off, where Ash and Gary argue as usual for their upcoming full battle.
  • The music is amazing, and fits really well with the episode, as usual.
  • The moment where Ash reflects on how he lost to Gary before was nice, and got his confidence that he will beat him during the full battle with him.
  • Ash was doing some studying with Brocks help to figure out a way to beat Gary.
  • Great animation in its time, especially for early 2000 standards as usual.
  • Many hilarious moments in the episode, like when during the flashback, Ash got slapped in the face with the Magikarp, and when he got Flamethrowered by Charizard as he returned, as its way of saying hello.
  • Ash was talking with Misty and Brock about how to assemble his team against Gary, since Gary can be unpredictable with his Pokémon.
  • Such as when Ash was thinking about his team, Charizard came back, and it was awesome, as Brock revealed he called Liza, the Charizard trainer, and told her to have him it come over to help Ash in his battle against Gary.
  • It was sweet that Professor Oak and Delia came to Johto Stadium to cheer on both Ash and Gary.
  • Ash and Harrison had a nice talk, and Harrison wished Ash luck on beating Gary, and they promised each other they would battle in the next round.
