This week, Ash's and Gary's epic match gets underway, with a legion of fans cheering for them both!

This episode was fun to write--mainly because I got to play up just how the match would've been hyped in universe, and explore what it would look like if it took place today, with social media providing up to the minute reports.

Sportscasters Tina and Alex are new minor characters for the project, covering all of Ash's League runs for KNTO-TV. He has met them both before, when he made his Kanto League run. Some of their banter also foreshadows a rewritten "Fire and Ice", an episode of the Kanto remix, to feature Gary instead of a CotD--which in turn sets up for this match.

Initially, this episode had a cutaway to reveal what Misty was doing in the Pokethlon, but decided to have that and Harrison's prior match occur offscreen, so I could maintain the focus on Ash and Gary.

For the curious:

Harrison's cheer is a reference to the cheer scene in the Looney Tunes short "Superrabbit", which I couldn't resist Pokemonizing as a counter to Gary's cheerleaders.

Next time, the epic match continues!
