The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Watching the father and daughter leave, Xiao Juer walked up to Xiao Zhi and said,

"Xiaozhi, you are here to challenge the gym match, right? I will be waiting for you at the gym's battle venue tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I will definitely try my best to defeat you, Miss Juer."

"Then I'll wait and see."

Silent all night.

The next morning, Xiaozhi and his two friends arrived at the Raven Gym early.

I personally think that this battle is the worst written battle in every season of Pokémon animation, from the time Satoshi started from Pallet Town to the time he won the Eight Masters Championship, no doubt about it!

Seriously, give me the pen, I can write a better script than the screenwriter who wrote this episode's battle.

There are many humiliating battles arranged for Ash to fight in the Pokémon animation by the screenwriter.

For example, a full-level Pikachu lost to a level 5 Viper that Shudi had just received from Professor Yew.

Lost to the great god Kotetsu in the Unova League 6 vs 5,

Etc., etc.

I can understand all of this. The screenwriter just forcibly reduced Xiaozhi's combat power.

Also, speaking of the battles in the original anime where Satoshi got too carried away by his complacency, there was one in almost every season. It's nothing, it's normal.

For example, in Advanced Generation, wasn't Genji, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, arranged to make Satoshi realize that he was too complacent?

None of this matters.

But this battle is really not very harmful but extremely insulting.

In this battle, Xiaozhi challenges Kiku from the Electric Gym.

Unlike the previous Ash who was full of confidence and believed in Pokémon, this time Ash only prepared a Blue Toad with the passive attribute to go on the challenge.

In a three-on-three match, even a newcomer would know to keep some tricks in reserve.

But in this episode, Xiaozhi seemed to be possessed by another spirit and became stupid.

I only brought two Pokémon, Blue Toad and Pikachu, and no third Pokémon.

And Pikachu was left in the audience by Xiaozhi.

It's so outrageous that even my grandma opened the door for me - it's so outrageous that I've reached my grandma's house.

After Blue Toad was defeated, no one knew what to do. Even the referee had to urge Ash to send out the next Pokémon quickly, otherwise he would be declared the loser.

But Xiaozhi just sat cross-legged on the ground, not knowing who to send out to fight.

I seriously suspect that the screenwriter's head was kicked by a donkey.

This is Xiaozhi's first time to participate in a gym tournament, right?

Then, Serpentine was replaced by Satoshi, and Xiaozhi was asked to leave the field temporarily and run to find Professor Yew to exchange the fight.

And even if you were to teleport temporarily, you could at least teleport a few more. Why are you only teleporting one Vine Snake?

This is because the gym trainer doesn't bother with you.

If one team cannot produce a Pokémon in a league tournament, the referee will simply declare you the loser, without giving you time to go and get your Pokémon.

Do you think the alliance is run by your family?

And then I forgot that the flying skills of the Conductive Flying Squirrel are very effective against the Grass-type Snake.

And Xiaozhi only wanted to rely on the charm skill of the vine snake to charm the conductive flying squirrel, but because both Pokémon are female, the charm is ineffective.

Charming's tactic was incomprehensible, and coupled with Xiaozhi's reckless command, Snake Sister was beaten the whole time and had no ability to fight back. It was simply the most tragic thing in the snake world.

To put it bluntly, after this battle, it was already good enough that Snake didn't just abandon Satoshi and choose another trainer.

After Snaketail fell, Ash didn't know who to send into battle, and had to be reminded by Pikachu before he came to his senses.

In the end, Pikachu won the victory thanks to his outstanding performance.

No, I really don’t know what the screenwriter’s mental state was when he wrote this episode?

Did Xiaozhi suffer a major blow the day before, or did he not bring his brain with him when he went out today?

Really, Xiaozhi is completely written as a little mentally retarded,

Moreover, Xiaozhi is a master of reverse attributes. In this episode, it seems that if he does not use Pokémon with favorable attributes, he will definitely lose.

You know, in the original animation, Xiaozhi would use Pikachu every time he fought in the Electric Gym.

Where is the courage in the original animation when the water otter was used to fight against Kenyon's zebra?

In the past, Ash didn't care about attributes at all, even if the opponent was a ground-type. For example, in the final of the battle between East George and Alice in the original animation, Ash still used Pikachu to face Alice's ground-type Diglett.

As long as the Pokémons are on the battlefield, Xiaozhi will let them on the battlefield even if their attributes are unfavorable.

However, this episode completely ignored Pikachu who wanted to fight, thinking that Pikachu's electric skills would not be effective against the electric Pokémon in Cherry's hands.

So in this episode, no matter how much Pikachu wanted to go up, Xiaozhi refused.

Anyway, in this episode, until Pikachu reminded him and he woke up, Ash's IQ was offline the whole time.

For other battles, you can say that the screenwriter has reduced Ash's combat power too much, almost to the point of eliminating it.

But in this episode, the screenwriter can be said to have completely reduced Xiaozhi's IQ.

That person's fighting power and IQ are taken away. He is neither good at literature nor martial arts. Isn't he a waste?

Since you, the screenwriter, have written it like this, what else can I say?

If this was Xiaozhi's debut match, for example, his first gym match, it would be understandable that he didn't know anything and was very flustered in the first match.

But the problem is that in the original animation, Xiaozhi has already traveled through four regions at this time, and is almost halfway through the fifth region. He has even killed countless legendary beasts.

Xiaozhi! You are a man who has defeated a legendary beast!

Facing Articuno, Regirock, Regischi, Regice, Darkrai, Latios, and even the God of Creation Arceus, Ash remained unfazed.

I was actually frightened by an ordinary conductive flying squirrel.

It’s like, for example, an athlete who has won a world-class competition, participates in a provincial or municipal competition, and is almost defeated by an up-and-coming athlete.

Maybe this metaphor is not very appropriate, but it is very vivid.

It is possible that a former world champion would be defeated by a mediocre newcomer competing for the first time, although the probability is low.

For example, this newcomer is usually very hardworking, or this newcomer is gifted.

Or maybe the world champion's physical strength has declined due to his age, etc. These may be the reasons for his defeat.

However, a world champion would be so nervous when he sees a newcomer who is particularly threatening to him that he would not be able to perform at his best and would not even know what to do next. He would just surrender on the spot.

Do you think this is possible?

It’s definitely impossible!

Right? I think the world champion must be very happy to see newcomers coming out, and will give his all to compete with him.

Even if I lose in the end, it's just like a Pokémon battle. In sports, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.

If I lose, I can only blame myself for not being as skilled as the other person. I also accept the defeat with a clear conscience, after all, the other person is really strong.

Instead of getting panicked before the game even starts and surrendering as soon as it starts.

Anyway, the screenwriter who wrote this episode of battle either has a problem with his own IQ, or he thinks that we, the audience, have a problem with our IQ.

Damn thing!

Who taught you to write like this?

Can you write?

If you can’t write, don’t write!

If you can’t write, why write? Write, write, write!

Give me the pen!

I'll write it!

Xiaozhi was actually written as a mentally retarded boy!
