Epic fight!

I would like to see a battle between Gary and Harrison.

Holy shit that was the best battle yet in the series.

That said is it just me or does it feel like they are really rushing through the pokemon league?

Best fight so far, hands down!

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Not really sure about the result, Gary looked stronger in the past, have more powerful pokemons, maybe Ash just won because he is the protagonist, but okay, let's see the next battle.
It was surely not the best battle, almost all pokemons just lose with one attack or two, different from most battles they've shown us, they are rushing it, the only real fierce round was the last.

For me Charizard vs Magmar was the best one so far but it was a cool fight for sure.
All that lead up of having a rival and finally seeing Blastoise vs Charizard. (2 starter Pokemon)

The fight felt a bit too quick, but it was still great to witness. I'm very proud of Ash.

Charizard vs. Blastoise was very good, however the rest of the battles could have been more balanced and fleshed out

maaaaan so glad it was Charizard to deliver the victory, he was the BROest 'mon since the start he earned every bit of it. that scorched Earth bit was pretty sick
now this other guy is all business! Ash might lose!

How did Ash win this I am not sure, I mean water vs fire and fire wins... doesn't make sense...

Next battle is against Harrison and I don't think Ash can win that.
Sorry for my english xD!

RIP Kentaro Miura :(
RIP Akira Toriyama :(

It doesn't matter what happens next; this was the real final battle, the showdown the whole series has been building up to. There's something very satisfying about closing out the second gen arc with two fully evolved gen one starters going at it with full force.
