Yeah, I'm calling total bullshit on that one shot against Scizor, welp if Guzma goes down, so does the plot. Personally I see no tension between Gladion vs Ash when compared to this. So now we apparently get a look at Guzma's past, seeing that he is always been in second place. So... he's gonna lose in fourth place? Go forth to lose to Gladion?
God damn it all I want is for the Guzma arc to finish on a good note, a final match between him and Kukui. Fuck Ash. Fuck Gladion.
