Damn that blue octopus of Bae really is one annoying and persistent pokemon!! So ash suffered his first defeat, guess its time to improve the mistakes he made this time for the rematch in the future.

Was about time to lose. What was that saying again? The higher the attitude, the harder the fall? Ironic, he didn't know how to deal with the luchabull. It was one of his strongest in alola.

bro if only ash used his only usable mon like DRAGONITE and spam hurricane smh

At this point in the Story If Ash chose Hitmonlee. Goh’s possible trade offers
1.One of the unevolved Kanto bug types except Pinsir, Scyther and Caterpie’s line
2.One of the Dustox
3.One of The Flabebe except the white flowered one

It was a naruto episode basically, eespecially with that "shadow clones" move of riolu.

Well they really chose a great fighter to have Ash lose against. Octopus looks like a real tough opponent and fighting in the area which he specializes in, was a bad move. And Luchbull has always been one of the stronger pokemons.
