Episode Title: Power Battle! Iris VS Hikari!
 |
| The nameless ref. |
It has been a while since
the last pokemon summary, roughly a month ago. But rejoice fans, PM subs has
finally released episode 07. In case you forgot what happened last episode the Pokemon World Tournament Junior Cup finally began. We rushed passed
the first round. The only battle worth noting was Iris’s battle versus Langley when Iris’s
Kairyu refused to obey any of her orders, and yet she still won. And that’s
what brings up here to today, where the second round of battles will commence.
The battles are chosen at random for the second stage of battles. The first to
do battle are Shootie and a random person by the name of Marufuji. The second
will be another random person by the name of Akihiro and Dent. The third match
with be yet another random person, Hirokazu, going against Satoshi. The fourth
match pits Iris and Hikari together. I feel sorry for all of the random people
who don’t have main character armor and will have to lose.
The first
battle commences almost immediately after the match-ups are decided. Shootie
throws out his final evolved form starter pokemon, Jalorda. Marufuji responds
by throwing out his fire-based pokemon, Kuitaran. Satoshi uses his pokedex on
the Kuitaran to gain more information about it, but really the information only
talks about how he breathes fire through his nose and how he is an ant-eater
pokemon. But Jalorda is a grass type pokemon, giving the obvious advantage over
to Marufuji and his Kuitaran. Iris is distracted from the battle because she is
worried about Kairyu. She would be because it wasn’t listening to any of her
orders, comments Satoshi. She nods and then runs out of the battle hall, saying
that she’ll step out for a bit.

Once outside
Iris summons Kairyu to start scolding him. He is hunched over like in a typical
Japanese delinquent anime. Iris starts scolding Kairyu and telling it to dodge
the next attack, but Kairyu is one stubborn jerk that pushes iris away when she
is so concerned about him. Shirona comes walking up to Iris because it is plain
as day that she is having trouble with her Kairyu. Shirona is a good person to
have her fully control her Kairyu, but somehow I think that Lance would be a
better choice, if a choice was given. Kairyu looks sharply at Shirona, as if he
was watching her battle with the Isshu Elite Four member and has now decided
that it wants to try his strength against her.
Shootie finishes up his
battle without effort. First he Leers the enemy and then finishes them up with
one attack of Solarbeam, just like in the first round of battles. Once victory
is acknowledged for Shootie, he looks over at Satoshi with a superior kind of
gleam in his eye and smirks and then he walks away. Satoshi and Pikachu both
return the stare down. The second battle commences between Akihiro and Dent
after the commentators give a few seconds to praise Shootie’s battle strategy.
Dent throws out his Muggyo while Akihiro throws out his Chillaccino. Satoshi
pulls out his pokedex for a second time and points at Chillaccino. He learns
that it is the evolved form of Chillarmy and also how its white fur has special
properties that can deflect enemy attacks.

Kairyu is such an awkward
pokemon. He fiercely roars and bares its fangs at Shirona, but Shirona merely
smiles and pats him on the nose while telling him to be more relaxed around
humans. Humans and pokemon are supposed to live in harmony together. Kairyu
doesn’t seem to hate to be patted, but he shifts his eyes uneasily to the right.
Iris’s eyes are sparkling even more; Shirona, her hero, is truly amazing. In
the battle hall has just made short work of his opponent and is declared the
victor. These opponents are so random nobodies that they aren’t even worth the
time it takes to watch their battle. Iris and her angsty Kairyu are deemed more
important. Iris comes running back into the hall right as Satoshi is heading
onto the stage for his battle. Meloetta appears as Satoshi is heading off as
well to show that she is here to support him.
Once out on the battle
field, Satoshi throws out his Gantle while his opponent throws out his
Lanculus. This time it is Hikari that pulls out her pokedex and inspects
Lanculus. It is the multiplying pokemon and is the evolved form of Doublan;
when Lanculus shakes its hands, a network forms that increases its psychic
power. Satoshi in his eagerness to battle starts the fight with Flash Canon. Even
the random guy who is facing against the star of the show gets shafted, this
time by Shootie and Shirona who have a pleasant conversation in the hallway.
Shootie is confident that no matter who is opponent is, he will make a strategy
against them. Well, says Shirona while licking her ice cream, good luck. She
then leaves while Shootie vows to defeat her after defeating Adeku. Satoshi has
just finished up his battle with a Rock Blast.

| Chillaccino is defeated. |
And finally for the final
match-up of the second round, Hikari versus Iris; Iris throws out her Kairyu
(talk about predictable) to which Hikari answers with her ice giant Manmoo.
This time it is Langley that pulls out
her pokedex to check on Manmoo. This is going to be a power-vs-power battle. It
won’t be elegant just because Hikari is in it, which is a darn shame because
her elegance tore Dent apart when they battled. Hikari starts with a Hidden
Power. Iris half-yells and half-pleads with Kairyu to dodge. It snorts very
obviously, but it dodges the attack. Hikari follows up her attack with another,
Ice Shard. Iris reacts as if she could feel the ice all the way on the other
side of the battle field. This time for sure, Iris orders Kairyu to dodge, but
Kairyu overheard her fears of ice type attacks against dragon type pokemon.
Kairyu doesn’t dodge and takes the attack head on.
Why won’t Kairyu dodge
attacks that it is weak against, wonders Iris. This is turning into the first
round all over again. Hikari orders Manmoo to use Take Down. IT starts powering
up and then charges forward. Iris again orders Kairyu to dodge, but instead of
dodging Kairyu does the exact opposite and charges forward to meet the Take
Down attack head on. Kairyu has caught Manmoo by its tusks and a display of raw
power is shown by both pokemon and neither wants to back down. Hikari uses her
battle experience to order Manmoo to use Ice Shard from this distance. Kairyu
is then pummeled with Ice Shards at close range for a short moment, but then
Kairyu has enough of that and picks up Manmoo and flings him across the battle
field. Satoshi and Dent are on the sidelines with huge, sparkling eyes. Iris is
yelling and trying to scold Kairyu in the middle of the fight, but Kairyu
merely snorts and ignores her.

| The Pokemon explains Manmoo to Langley. |
Manmoo makes it back to its
feet. Hikari congratulates it and tells her pokemon that they will win for
sure. Iris points to Hikari’s and Manmoo’s bond with each other and tries to
get Kairyu jealous of that bond, but another snort is given. If there is no
connection between trainer and pokemon and zero trust is given, then it won’t
matter how much power you may have. Hikari orders another Take Down. Of course
Iris is going to tell Kairyu to dodge, but for the second time it charges
forward ta top speed. But this time Kairyu doesn’t grab Manmoo by its tusks.
The two massive pokemon collide heads and Manmoo is the stronger of the two,
sending Kairyu flying back over to its side of the battle field. Kairyu
struggles to get back up. In the meantime Hikari has ordered Manmoo to follow
up with another Ice Shard. Fire is strong against ice, Iris tells Kairyu, so
she wants him to counter with Flamethrower. But Kairyu hears the fear in her
voice and refuses to do anything about it and takes the Ice Shard head on
without even bothering to block.
Hikari goes on the attack
again, this time using Ice Fang for the first time. Manmoo’s tusks grow larger
and then are covered with a thick wall of ice. It then charges Kairyu like in
Take Down. Iris is having a panicking attack because she knows that Kairyu
won’t listen to her no matter what. Kairyu has caught Manmoo by its tusks
again, and as in the first round of battles, Kairyu is beginning to get covered
with ice. Suddenly, Kairyu’s wings opens and he flies up to the sky, breaking
the contact with the ice. At the ceiling, all eyes are on Kairyu and are
wondering what he is going to do. Normally in this situation, people will be
wondering what the trainer is going to do, but no one is fooled into thinking
that Iris is the one in charge here. Kairyu bellows a deep, rumbling roar and
then it flies down at top speed using the move Dragon Rush to defeat Manmoo in
one strike. This has to be one frustrating battle for Hikari, but a loss is
still a loss and Iris isn’t going to let Kairyu’s refusal to accept her orders
impede on her celebrations. At least for a moment.

The third round match-ups
are chosen at random again. There is no change whatsoever in the match-ups, but
Iris and Satoshi has changed positions on the match-up board display. Iris and
Satoshi are fired up for their battle because the last time they had an
official battle, Satoshi lost. He is ready to redeem that loss. Shootie and
dent have also faced each other in an official battle previously and it was
Dent who won then.. Shootie is ready to redeem that loss with a victory here.
Shootie vows in his mind, in response to Adeku claiming this will be a battle
to see, how this will be a boring, one-sided affair with him as the winner.
Dent knows that Shootie is only looking forward to the final battle against
Adeku, but dent vows not to go down without a fight as one of the Isshu
Region’s Gym Leaders. Shootie sends out Jalorda for the third time in this
tournament while Dent sends out his Iwapalace.
Shootie hopes to finish this
battle up instantly by using Leer and then using Solarbeam. Dent has his crab
use Protect, which guards against all attacks. But Iwapalace may be protected against
all attacks, but Jalorda’s power was still too great and sends Iwapalace flying
away, though it took no damage. Dent decides to attack with X-Scissor, to which
Shootie has his Jalorda dodge with absurd ease. Dent follows up his attack with
a Rock Slide. Rock form in the air out of nothing and start crashing against
the ground. Shootie counters with a Frenzy Plant attack. Jalorda slithers
passed the falling rocks and hits Iwapalace for the victory.

Before his battle with Iris,
Satoshi shares a few words with Dent about his loss. Satoshi can’t wait to
fight that Jalorda, but first he must win his battle against Iris. Also before
her battle, Iris and Hikari share a few words. Hikari tells Iris that she’ll be
okay because she had a rough time getting Manmoo to listen to her as well. To
be fair, Satoshi had trouble with his Lizardon. It seems that for these
oversized pokemon in both size and power it takes nothing short than risking
your life for them to get them to trust you and listen to you. The battle between
Satoshi and Iris commences. Satoshi throws out his Waruvile while Iris throws
out her Kairyu. The episode ends with a stared own between these two pokemon
and a peek into the future at the battles left to be had.
