Nah, don't be confused, that's just the thread title.
But anyways, here's what seems to have happened.
Max seemed to be supporting his father and rooting AGAINST Ash all the way, and was rather unhappy to see his father lose. May was neutral, but a little more towards Ash's side.
Now, the battle:
A LOT of the R/S traits were emphasized on in this battle.
Pikachu VS Slakoth
Slakoth is fast, it's just lazy. Being lazy doesn't make someone nescessarily slow. But it was able to dodge a series of hits from Pikachu, but it's Truant trait showed. It only attacked every other turn, but it used some awesome attacks, like Shadow Ball, Hidden Power, and even Blizzard. Eventually it gets too much for Ash and Pikachu that he withdraws it and sends Torkoal.
Torkoal VS Slakoth
As a Flamethrower and a Blizzard are thrown at each other, obviously the Flamethrower outdoes it and toasts Slakoth.
Torkoal VS Vigoroth
Overheat is avoided by Vigoroth. Vigoroth goes for a Scratch, so Torkoal starts charging up its Iron Defense, but Vigoroth is too fast and Scratches Torkoal dead.
Pikachu VS Vigoroth (long time rematch!)
In this one Pikachu learns to use it's Static trait to its advantage. This time it does a bit better, but after a series of physical attacks, somehow they both stab each other at the same time and faint. DRAW! Both two down, both one to go!
Grovyle VS Slaking
Grovyle learns to use its Overgrow trait to its advantage! This helps the Bullet Seed and the Leaf Blade work well, while Grovyle uses its amazing speed to jump at Slaking's Earthquakes. Eventually a final Leaf Blade wins, giving Ash the Balance Badge!
More specific details coming soon.
