I enjoyed this episode, the battles were great. BUT, it looses about 10 points for Ash having Noctowl face a Steelix and loosing. It's one battle and it's chance to shine in the league, and it goes up against the one Pokemon that a Noctowl can't possibly defeat. It made me want to kill the writers with my new Hammer! They should make Noctowl win, please only for me?

9/10
