Now it’s time for one final attack.

Now it’s time for one final attack.



It probably isn’t but I’m to hyper to care so I’ll just say that this always looked like a Jesus shot to me.



Okay, it flys down in such a way that means that the sun is right behind it, that just nicely shows off the glowing wings.





Closing in not just to show extra panic but the speed of the attack and…



It’s over now.





So how did it fall forward, or did it roll in a really weird way. I’m sure I’d have remembered a roll if it had happen?



Once that part of the battle is over, Shinji withdraws his pokemon. He surrenders the battle.



And because Shinji isn’t completely nuts in this battle (unlike another certain battle he was in where he failed to take down any pokemon), he lets it go and finishes up here. This despite the fact that he actually has another powerhouse on him. There’s just no point in getting his pokemon any more hurt and he’s learned how different they are.

So that was the battle. Lets look at the techniques that each of them use:

Shirona: wrapping fire around Gabarisu and attacking a dig whilst it’s still in the ground. Defending with wings. Not attacking until the opponent’s technique is revealed. Timing. Hiding her own reactions until the right time in the battle or acting.

Shinji: wrapping fire around a pokemon and then using dig on it (failed), timing (failed once then succeeded later on), getting the other pokemon in the air using haze, getting the other pokemon to use hyperbeam to ground itself. Using weaker pokemon to better understand his opponent. Hiding his own reactions until the right time in the battle or acting.

The skill level here isn’t that far apart. There are times where I can say that the only difference is that Shirona is slightly tighter in her timing and acting. In fact, Shinji’s techniques are overall more impressive even though he fails. Quite simply Shirona’s pokemon are of so much more of a high level so that is why Shinji loses. However, it’s Shinji’s and Shirona’s personality I want to discuss here. During the battle it becomes clear that they have very similar thought and battle patterns. We also get to see quite a bit of respect for each other. Shinji wants a battle and therefore Shirona gives him one and doesn’t assume that he’s a weakling or needs to be taken down a peg. In fact, it’s Satoshi’s defending of Shinji that makes her so very interested in Satoshi. She doesn’t go easy on Shinji but uses her best timing, acting and one of her powerhouses. It is believable when she says she can see them becoming champions. It’s also notable how calm they are. Like I said, during the sand sequence, Shirona and Shinji are both really calm when everyone else wouldn’t be.

Continuing the episode



Whilst, Shirona has no reaction to this, the crowd do and give us the reaction that a Silver expy would get from his Wataru expy… or rather not. They just call him stupid. This effects Satoshi.







It’s pretty neat seeing Satoshi defend Shinji though at this stage it isn’t known how much of a jerk Shinji could be. He doesn’t particularly like Shinji but he’s willing to see that Shinji did nothing wrong in challenging Shirona, even if Shinji doesn’t really appreciate Satoshi’s actions.





Anyway this makes Satoshi’s presence known to Shirona and she becomes more interested in both of them.



Satoshi calls Shinji out for not going to the Pokemon Centre but



When Shirona joins in, he actually goes there. Shinji having more respect for Shirona than Satoshi isn’t that surprising thanks to the fact that we’re already aware of how much Shinji dislikes Satoshi. However, at this point the viewer is not really aware of how much respect Shinji can have either. We’ve been shown his politeness before but that can be a very different trait.

There is though another question raised by this and unfortunately we don’t really get an answer: how long would it have been before Shinji went to the Pokemon Centre and where was he planning on going? We know that he uses Pokemon Centres from previous and later episodes and that’s about all the evidence that is ever given in any direction on the matter.



Sorry. My sense of humour can be a little immature.



Anyway, at the pokemon centre, Shirona takes care of Shinji’s pokemon and Shinji reveals a bit more about himself as a trainer and more about his pokemon. This is pure fan service: knowing that Shinji begun with a Dodaitose does not add to the Shinji Satoshi rivalry. It’s nice to know that Shinji is as accomplished as Satoshi but we could guess that anyway.



I really like how Shirona and Dodaitose frame Shinji here.





The camera moves quite a bit during this sequence highlighting how little interest Shinji is taking in comparision to Satoshi and friends. This can be read in two ways: Shinji doesn’t care for his pokemon and how they’re treated or Shinji trusts Shirona to do a good job. The presentation lets you think both which gives it great rewatch value since the first time the viewer sees this they’re more likely to assume a lack of care. Anyway, Satoshi gets into another argument with Shinji and Shirona takes notice.





I like the amount of surprise they have at Shirona’s interest in them. It’s not just that she’s interested in them but that she isn’t judging them. Now by this point, I think it’s safe to say that Shirona’s idea of Shinji should be as good as the viewers (assuming the viewer has been watching since the beginning of DP).



She takes them back to the ruins and gives them her great piece of advise: 'Friend, when one life meets another something is born.' The cool part though is that she gives it to both of them. They both have something to learn of each other. Why does she give both of them advice? Because she ships them. Because she sees potential in both of them.



Zooming on to the ending (since I’m focusing on what happens in between elsewhere) , the last thing we see Shinji do is stalk watch Satoshi, with his pokemon watching too. I just noticed that Shinji and all his pokemon but Hikozaru have pretty much the same expression. Just a little more evidence that Hikozaru does not fit in.



To deconstruct, by my understanding is to take an idea and expand upon it in such a way that challenges exactly what the idea was in the first place. A deconstruction has the advantage of making something more interesting but the disadvantage of removing the original appeal. The question on if deconstructing is worth doing is how much creativity and effort available to be put in to make it work. I’d say that in Shinji’s case it’s super effective.

By having the battle with the champion not only leave no impact on the character, but show how similar they are is pretty subversive in itself. However, to have the rest of the episode show how intelligent this character is makes it deconstructive. Shinji does have his immature side but it’s not really on show here. This also allows the champion to become that bit more interesting. Not being judgmental is an odd trait to give a character and especially one that’s not only a powerful one but is placed next to a very controversial character.

It’s worthwhile asking why deconstruct Silver though? I mean is Silver a bad character? Not really. In fact he works pretty well and is one of the better examples of his type being played straight. Could Silver have been a bad character? Easily. The basic appeal being based on simplifying morality is kind of… icky. Bad people can be great debaters. Whist an argument can be stupid, it can have great arguments attached to it. Relying on bad people being idiots is not a great way to deal with bad people. I’m not saying that you can’t have a dumb bad person but the narrative should address the idea that the characters dumb. If you don’t than you’re also encouraging your audience not to think: a great move marketing wise since people are more likely to listen to adverts then but otherwise terrible making people not see your hard work and from a moral stand point plain icky. Here, they even end up asking 'is Shinji a bad person?’ and that’s challenging the viewers to think and that’s why I started to love Shinji.

Теперь это время для одной последней атаке.Это, вероятно, не, но я hyper для ухода, поэтому я просто скажу, что это всегда смотрел, как Иисус выстрелил мне.Ладно он летит вниз таким образом, это означает, что солнце находится прямо позади, что просто прекрасно демонстрирует светящиеся крылья.Закрытие в не только для того, чтобы показать дополнительные паники, но скорость атаки и...Это сейчас.Итак, как же он упал вперед, или сделал это ролл в действительно странным образом. Я уверен, что я бы вспомнил рулон, если это случится?Как только эта часть битвы Синдзи покидает его Покемон. Он сдается бой.И потому, что Синдзи не полностью орехи в этой битве (в отличие от некоторых битве, он был в где он не принял вниз любой покемон), он позволяет ему пойти и заканчивается здесь. Это, несмотря на то, что он на самом деле есть еще одна электростанция на него. Просто нет смысла в получении его покемон любой более больно и он узнал, насколько они разные.Так это было сражение. Давайте посмотрим на методы что каждый из них используют:Shirona: Упаковка пожар вокруг Gabarisu и атаковать копать, пока он все еще находится в земле. Защита с крыльями. Не нападают до противника техники выявлено. Сроки. Сокрытие ее собственной реакции до нужное время в битве или действия.Shinji: wrapping fire around a pokemon and then using dig on it (failed), timing (failed once then succeeded later on), getting the other pokemon in the air using haze, getting the other pokemon to use hyperbeam to ground itself.

теперь время для последнего нападения.это, наверное, не так, но я очень заботиться, так что я буду только сказать, что это всегда выглядело как иисус, выстрелил в меня.ладно, она летает вниз таким образом, что означает, что солнце находится прямо за это просто красиво показать яркие крылья.закрытие не просто показать больше паники, но скорость атаки и...все кончено.так, как это не вперед, или он валялся в очень странно.я уверен, что я бы вспомнил Roll, если он произойдет?после этого часть битва закончена, синдзи снимает его Pokemon.он отказывается от борьбы.и потому что синдзи не совсем, что в этой битве (в отличие от другого некоторые битвы он, когда он не одолеть любого PokeMon), он позволяет всё и заканчивается здесь.и это несмотря на то, что он на самом деле был еще один лидер на него.нет смысла в том его PokeMon больше больно и он научился различных они.это была битва.взглянем на методы, которые каждый из их использования:shirona: упаковочная огонь вокруг gabarisu и нападения на раскопках, хотя он все еще на земле.защита с крыльями.не спорю, пока соперник техника не раскрыта.сроки.прятать ее собственных реакций до тех пор, пока в нужное время в бою или обязанности.синдзи: упаковочная огонь вокруг покемон, и затем с помощью выкопать его (не), сроки (не раз потом удалось позже), получить другие PokeMon в воздухе с помощью дымки, получить другие PokeMon использовать hyperbeam землю себе.используя слабее, покемон, чтобы лучше понять его противника.прятать свои собственные реакции до нужное время в бою или обязанности.уровень мастерства здесь не так далеки друг от друга.были времена, когда я могу сказать, что разница лишь в том, что shirona чуть более жесткие сроки и в ее обязанности.в самом деле, синдзи методик в целом более впечатляет, даже несмотря на то, что он не сможет.просто shirona - покемон имеют так много более высокого уровня, поэтому синдзи проигрывает.однако это синдзи и shirona личности, я хочу обсудить здесь.во время боя, то становится ясно, что они имеют очень похожие мысли и боевой модели.мы также увидим совсем немного уважения друг к другу.синдзи хочет боя, и поэтому shirona дает ему, и не считают, что он слабак или должны быть приняты на крючок.на самом деле, это сатоши - защите синдзи, что делает ее очень заинтересованы в сатоси.она не наказывайте синдзи, но использует ее лучшим временем, обязанности и одним из ее лидеров.вероятно, когда она говорит, что она может видеть их стать чемпионами.это также отметить, как спокойно они.как я уже сказал, в песок, последовательность, shirona и синдзи являются очень спокойна, когда все еще не будет.продолжая эпизодхотя, shirona нет реакции на это, толпа, и дай нам ответ, что серебро expy получит от его ватару expy. или нет.они просто называть его дураком.это последствия сатоси.это нормально, что сатоси защищать синдзи, несмотря на то, что на данном этапе он не знал, как придурок, синдзи может быть.он не особо нравится синдзи, но он хотел бы увидеть, что синдзи не сделал ничего плохого в сложных shirona, даже если синдзи не очень ценю сатоси меры.в любом случае это делает сатоси присутствия известны shirona и она становится более заинтересованы в их обоих.сатоши призывает синдзи за не собираюсь песня Pokemon центр, нокогда shirona присоединяется к, на самом деле он ходит туда.синдзи с большего уважения, чем shirona сатоси не, что удивительно, благодаря тому, что у нас уже знают, сколько синдзи антипатии сатоси.однако на данный момент зритель не знает, сколько связи синдзи может либо.мы показали его вежливость и раньше, но это может быть очень разным черта.существует несмотря на то, что другой вопрос, поднятый этим и, к сожалению, мы не получили ответ: а сколько это было до синдзи отправился в центр, где он был и Pokemon собираетесь?мы знаем, что он использует PokeMon центров от предыдущих и позднее эпизоды и вот и все доказательства, которые когда - либо не в любом направлении по этому вопросу.прости.мое чувство юмора можно незрело.в любом случае, на pokemon - центр, shirona заботится о синдзи - покемон и синдзи показывает, немного о себе, как тренер, и больше о его Pokemon.это чистый фансервис: зная, что синдзи началось с dodaitose не добавить к синдзи сатоси соперничества.это приятно знать, что синдзи является выполнена сатоси, но мы можно было догадаться, что в любом случае.мне очень нравится, как shirona и dodaitose рамы синдзи здесь.камера двигается немного в этой последовательности подчеркнул, как мало интереса к синдзи с comparision для сатоси и друзей.это может толковаться двояко: синдзи наплевать на его PokeMon и, как они обращались или синдзи надеется, shirona сделать хорошую работу.совет
