I voted Luana. She didn't have any of those 'special' things that the others had for their gym battles, but her pokemon could work in sync with one another. That takes hard work and a lot of dedication (as Ash found out himself). Plus the battle in that one was cool, it wasn't just attack after attack, it was more than that.
Sissy's alright, but she wasn't as unique as the rest to me. I just don't think of her that much. The race was alright though, Lapras is adorable when it's sliding. ^^ Danny kinda annoys me with his cheerfullness, I think I'm a bit like Ash in that respect. Rudy's annoying as well. He practically wanted to marry Misty when he had only known her for an hour. XD Whoa there big fella!! I thought guys were supposed to be afraid of commitment!! Plus, he just likes himself too much.
