So that's the end of Advanced, onward to Advanced Challenge. If only Pikachu's attacks were that powerful normally. Oh well, looking forward to their inevitable rematch anyway when that Electrike has evolved into a Manectric.

I am disappointed! I have been waiting for this gym-battle since the end of the pokemon contest but there is no battle?!

Pikachu should be that powerful normally after going through 2+ leagues.

The adaptation is bad in general, bad this was especially disappointing.

This Gym Battle was kinda disappoiting since there was no real fight but man seeing Pikachu one-shoting all the Gym leader was so satisfying haha. After more than 300 episode that's the level he should have.

Anyways, now that Advanced is finished, let's go to Advanced Battle !

The show would be hella boring if Pikachu could just one-shot every opponent. I don't know what kind of anime some of y'all are used to watching, but I don't see the appeal of protagonists beating their opponents 100% of the time and never facing opposition.

Uh I know the show will be boring if that will be the case. I just said that logically that’s the level pikachu should have after such a long time and seeing pikachu one-shoting his opponent ONE time was satisfactory.

Never said that Pikachu MUST have this level now.

Even though it was an underwhelming Gym Battle, a part of me feels satisfied to see Pikachu one-shotting Wattson's Pokemon
