Summary:
"The 'Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup' continues with fierce battles! Iris' Kairyu battles the Pokémon Coordinator Hikari's 'Twin Tusk Pokémon' Manmoo in the second round! In the first round, Iris was having a hard time forming a combination with Kairyu. And even though Kairyu was given instructions on how to start the battle off, this round doesn't seem to go the way Iris wanted it to either...!?

On the other side of the spectrum, Hikari and Manmoo work as a perfect combination. One move after another hits its target! How is this battle going to go!?

It was an ok episode overall, though I hate how they rushed Dent's battle... actually, that's something really bothersome with this 'tournament' : it feels rushed. That, and the fact it's just yet another Don Tournament... without Don George. I was expecting longer and more intense battles, personally.

I'm curious to see how long it'll take Iris to have Kairyu obey her. Though I know what's going to happen in the next episode... damn people making the previews!

So far, I can't say I'm impressed by the Junior Cup. The episodes are fine, with some character development and all, but the battles themselves feel lackluster and rushed.

I thought all the battles were quite rushed. I wished they would have done at least 2 or 3 more episodes for the Junior Cup. All those K.O's of Shootie sped the tournament up 10 fold.
