It was your turn. Blue Drif' took my turn last week. [Rare smiley insert] → D: ← [/Rare smiley insert]

※ Ursala is a terrible name no matter what way I look at it. Though she is a geat character.

※ They inserted the dub “Battle Frontier” theme.

※ Typing about music, I barely heard any music this episode. I like.

※ Did I mention Ursala is a terrible name but a wonderful character?

♪ Pachirisu appears! And wins the contest! ♪

It was Sunday and you were nowhere to be found... So, yeah. I did. :3

This episode was a good Pachirisu episode. Lol at Pachirisu not liking Ursula's Poffin.... Dawn got her next ribbon, so that's good too. I like how Jessie came close to winning too.

Unfortunately, I was unable to pay attention to all of the other details of the episode because I was too busy WONDERING WHERE ALL THE MUSIC WENT. I know PUSA/TPCI will sometimes rarely replace a Japanese track with silence, but they they went crazy in this episode. XD There were 6+ minutes of silence in this episode. Wow. I'm happy about that, but it was pretty weird. PUSA used Battle Frontier(Eng.) so that's really cool.

I thank you for that too since it was an “UnBEARable”-esque episode.

thats good that Pachirisu won, thank you for telling me because I missed the last 10minutes of the episode. I was shocked at the beginning of the episode when Pachirisu finally learned a good move and i was shocked when they put the BF music in this episode as well

I was going to ask about the smilie before you edited in the tags XD I just presumed you would take this week, and I would do the one after

- Hah, Brock looks really weird
- Pachirisu is so cute
- It sounded like Pachirisu purred XD
- Wow, what's up with all the silence
- This girl better appear again sometime, Kenny and Nando are so boring
- Silence, you can stop now o.O
- Did TPCI even cut the Contest theme for silence?
- Huh? They even cut music for Dawn's appeal? It's better than dub music, but...it's got to be a mistake? There's no way they would actually cut so much music
- Oh well, at least we can hear Yanmega's voice better XD
- Hooray, music!
- So, the girl hasn't ever got through the first round...she can't be that great, then
- Cool, Battle Frontier instrumental. Yay, the actual song!
- I hope Ursula comes back again sometime

Music kept: (4)

RBY Gym Theme
Satoshi's Battle Decision (movie 1)
DPPt Karate King Encounter
GSC Trainer Battle

Because of all the silence o.O

Silence? I don't remember any silence.

The first half of the episode was almost all silence. The music really starts when Ursula, the sea witch, goes on stage to appeal with Gabite.

Do I get next week?

Silence music-wise, rather than on the whole, if that's why you were confused

xDDD

Okay, time for my review. This ep was really good, but I think I'm getting tired of Coordinators.

Ursula's name made me think of Ursaring. And that Gabite was cute and powerful. Pachirisu wouldn't win a regular battle, that's for sure.

I actually noticed the silence, but I'm not really that concerned about the music.
Rating: 10/10!!

Alice July 12th, 2009 11:55 AM

I was overall disappointed with the episode. =/

Why did they skip so much of the contest? And whats with them putting in the BF music... (Although I do like it,) it was like watching an AMV to me. They didn't even show Dawn's appeal round.

And Ursula.... weeeiiiird person lol.

Well, both names do come from the latin for bear. Which makes no sense if she has a Gabite, but then people aren't named after their Pokémon.

Satoshi Ookami July 12th, 2009 12:05 PM

Kinda cool episode but totally epic battle between Gabite and Pachirisu...
Pachirisu in real game wouldn't stand a chance against Gabite... well that's why it's anime

Nina July 12th, 2009 12:38 PM

I actually flipped on to this for a short while, and that silence. owo It was so disturbing, I mean sometime silence is appropriate. But for flashy contest appeals? It deserves some music.

That was...Just really strange.

notoriouslybizarre July 12th, 2009 5:38 PM

It was a good episode. I enjoyed it. Better than the last episode with Phione in it.
Plus Pachirisu was cute ^^

It was to skip to the final since you can't show a whole contest in one episode.

They inserted “Battle Frontier” by Akina Takaya in the Japanese version.

Yes they did. Dawn used Buneary in an ice themed appeal.

Samme! July 12th, 2009 7:18 PM

I actually really liked this episode! Well, i love all of the episodes pertaining contests and that focus on another character instead of Ash for once..

But URSULA?? Why URSULA?

???URSULA???

I have to apologize for that spazzem back there... Name didn't really fit ya know? But I really hope we see her again cuz she's got this cute good-girl look to her but her personallity is like POW! a little vengeful... and devlish
But she is AwEsOmE :)

And Pachirisu was soooo cute and awesome in this episode :) Finally one of her pokemon do good and learn a new move.

And including Battle Frontier theme? Dis-Like!

But overall a good episode :)

Oh really? It must've only been on for a second, cuz I missed it. I would rather have them just take 2 or 3 episodes to do a contest though.

It was for a minute or two but it was nothing special. All Buneary did was slide in a slide that was made out of ice and use Dizzy Punch once or twice.

Wings Don't Cry July 13th, 2009 5:29 PM

I hope Ursala never returns again, she's the type of person I hate the most

Vernikova July 13th, 2009 6:19 PM

If she comes back though she could light a fire under Dawn like Drew did with May. Do you really want Zoey and Kenny to be Dawn's rivals in the Grand Festival? They aren't that exciting to watch.

I actually want Jesse to be Dawn's rival, she's pretty good but she always has to lose because she's Team Rocket

There's the answer right there.

Azumi July 15th, 2009 7:23 PM

Hell, I never post in dub episodes, but something caught my eye.

Ursula. Is she related to that sea witch in The Little Mermaid?
*checks* HOLY KARP. She may be mean and such, but calling her Ursula is really an insult! I mean, she WAS quite a good character.

EDIT: Silence until the sea witch comes. They really respect her, don't they?
And I thought I heard Ash say damn it.

DoubleWide July 15th, 2009 8:09 PM

I thought it was interesting that Jessie didn't have a meltdown when she lost. She still needs 3 wins to make it to the Grand Festival. And a couple new Pokemon would help as well.

I Laugh at your Misfortune! July 17th, 2009 3:06 PM

I liked the episode as a whole, but I didn;t really like the 'climactic' battle. Gabite, for all its fugliness, kinda owned Pachirisu to be fair. My ELoT:

- stop stealing the credit ash >:|
- Those cries at the end of the theme still really bug me >.>
- Damn you Ambipom and your Dawn-catching skills!
- 'Kay? 'Kay!
- God, Gabite is hideous. It's like a shark plus a torpedo plus a jet engine. It should be awesome but it sucks.
- Yeah!!!!! Chocovine!!!
- I'm betting at least one person was trying to see up her dress when she did that.
- ASH IS HITTING ON BUNEARY!
- I'm betting on Jessie :D
- Nicely pasting over the battle frontier line there :D
- Or not.
- Wobbuffet sounds really creepy when its crying.
- They overuse that spin dodge thing.
- Mamoswine reminds me of Manny from Ice Age.
- Is it just me or is this a load of crap?
- Pachirisu used...Rapid Spin?
- Yeah, because that's definitely not a compliment.

Sweet Smoochum July 17th, 2009 5:57 PM

Dawn's new rival is the best one she has had. I'm glad it's an uncommon name like Ursala. (Reminds me of the witch in Little Mermaid.) This rival looks different than other rivals. In a way she reminds me of Angelica Pickles with the pigtails and the evil laugh. That rival was given the quickest development in just one episode. Also, Jessie doesn't seem to like Ursala either. I like the battle frontier theme used in this episode. Noticed they changed it to "let the battle begin." It sounds better in this episode then when it did as a theme song. Overall, very good episode for the DP season. Way better than I expected.

Yeah, it's about time Dawn got a new rival. Speaking of Dawn, her Pachirisu is the third electric type to beat a ground type, the other two being Pikachu and Paul's Electabuzz. As I've said before, there's no type advantage in pokemon and I'm glad Dawn got to use her other pokemon in the spotlight. I loled when Pachi didn't like Ursula's poffin.

Azumi July 23rd, 2009 11:12 PM

^ There is type advantage/disadvantage. It's just Ash's always like "i don't care about type disadvantage zomg i care about the pokemon's strength zomg"
...that's why you always lose to Paul, my dear...
