Thread: Hikari, Ayako to battle in next Pokémon Contest: Episode to air on Aug. 13

I'd seriously laugh if it turned out to be a dream. Again. :3

Has any kind of difference ever stopped them from using such excuses before?

Can you point out a similar situation that has happened Nando?

I already did.

There is no way she should have been able to beat Lila or May.

Yuri?! Who hadn't ever participated in a GF, let alone be a Top Coordinator, and who had even been a contest since her childhood? That's got nothing on Ayako.

As for Haruka, I must admit I found it a little implausible, but she did use her least experienced pokemon.

So, a coordinator that has only won 4 ribbons in her entire career, never entered a Grand Festival, quit, then came back years later and Glaceon who was May's weakest Pokemon and was taking it easy on Dawn (Blaziken or Venasaur would have destroyed Piplup, no contest).


Johanna's won a Grand Festival, but if she pulls punches like May did and uses her weakest Pokemon, then sure she could win.

Glaceon got maybe 5 episodes of screentime. And even if it is May's weakest Pokémon, it still should be stronger than anything Dawn had.

I can see I'm going to be shouted down though, so I'll stop here.

She won't beat her mother anyway, so arguing this is rather pointless.
