Rematch: Pikachu vs Jibanyan

Now, let's see what abilities Jibanyan has.Strength: Jibanyan's main method of attack is his Paws of Fury, which is strong enough to send Nate flying incredibly high. In the games, his Strength stat is 56 at level 60.Durability: Jibanyan is incredibly durable, as he has been flattened, smacked with a giant club, and survived a fall likely arount 10 feet. These only stunned him for a few seconds at best. In the games, his HP is 208, and his Defense is 104 at level 60.Agility: During his training on the highway, Jibanyan doesn't take very long to rush back to the intersection after getting sent a far distance by cars, and only took a few seconds to get there and try again. In the games, his Speed stat is 68 at level 60.Abilities: Jibanyan can attack with weak fire spells, with his Spirit stat being 97. He can also Inspirit his opponents to slow down their movement with a paralyzing seal in the games. In the cartoon, the Inspirit takes people in front of incoming traffic, which there's none of in this arena, sadly.Nate's assistance: Nate Adams can think rather quickly, and able to counter a few different Yo-kai with his plans. Though he does have his moments where he's not that smart. But Jibanyan can and does think for himself, and doesn't require instructions, but the help does exist.Conclusion: Jibanyan is quite powerful when you think about it.But now it's time for my rebuttals. What does Pikachu have over Jibanyan anyways?Rebuttal:Strength:"Volt Tackle is considered by Screwattack to be one of the most insanely ferocious attacks ever observed by a Pokemon. In Pikachu vs. Blanka, Whiz and Boomstick described this attack as having close to one megaton worth of force, which of course is equivalent to one million tons of TNT and is what physicists use to measure the strength of atomic bombs."1 Million TNT? What are you talking about? Pikachu doesn't have that sort of power, and I certainly don't remember ScrewAttack ever mentioning nukes or anything in that video.Agility:"Pikachu is one of the fastest pokemon in the pokemon universe and is able to fight and run at breathtaking speeds, often creating mirror images of himself while fighting. Overall he is nearly a million times faster than Jibanyan."Sure, Pikachu is fast. But what's with you and the number 1 million? If only you could prove Pikachu could run at such a pace.Durability:"Pikachu is one of Ash's most durable pokemon, capable of going toe to toe with psuedo-legendary pokemon such as Metagross and Dragonite and even actual legendary pokemon such as Regice. He was also capable of fighting Tobias' powerful Latios to a draw, despite the fact that Electric type moves are not very effective against Dragon types."That's roughly what Jibanyan can endure. No real flaws I can think of here.Abilities:"Leer – Broken, godly, cheating, and insanely OP, Leer is considered by pokemon fans and cartoon battle experts to be one of the most over-powered fighting abilities of all-time, comparable to using Goku’s Spirit Bomb or Superman’s X-Ray vision. With Leer, Pickachu has the admin like ability to lower the defenses of any opponent, meaning Pickachu pretty much wins this fight by default and by a score of no contest."(Examines source 2.) I'm as confused as that Cubone. Why isn't he reacting if it's as destructive as Spirit Bomb? Besides, isn't leer supposed to be... scary? The word's defined as "look or gaze in an unpleasant, malicious, or lascivious way", so you're clearly making stuff up. Pikachu never actually learned this move, so no one's defense is getting lowered."Diplomacy -Pickachu is clearly considered the leader of Ash's pokemon, whereas he has often used charisma and diplomacy to inspire others and gain allies... In Pickahu vs. Jibanyan then, it is not inconceivable that Pikachu could use his wits, diplomacy, and good looks again to convince Nathan Adams or Jibanyan to put aside differences and forfeit the fight."He only gained "allies" from Ash's already caught pokemon, and neutral characters. Jibanyan's very determined anyways, so he wouldn't forfeit that easily. Besides, you have no sources of Pikachu recruiting anything anyways."Rock Star Popularity & Social Network– Pickaboo and Ash Ketchup are insanely popular in the pokemon universe... With the crowd on his side, we can expect Pickachu to have far greater stamina and morale in any public stadium fight against Jibaynan. We can also count on Ash and Pickachu to visit these Pokemon gyms and scientists ahead of time for invaluable extra training and leveling if given prep time."Who said there weren't Yo-kai Watch fans in the crowd? Heck, in Yoink's episode of Yo-kai Watch, he stole Jibanyan's popularity and gave it to Whisper. Before, Whisper had no popularity, then various Yo-kai came for his autograph. Anyways, I guess Jibanyan also gets prep time. You don't need to fight rock snakes when you could fight a Yo-kai that can create objects out of nowhere (Whisper). But I don't see any real benefit to training other than a few stat boosts here and there."The Team Rocket Factor - Where ever there is Ash and Pikachu, Team Rocket is never far behind. And while the rules of this fight do not allow for any direct help by allies, they still do not disallow third party interference."Wait, what? You never stated only allies weren't allowed. "2) Neither character can recieve backup. It will be only Pikachu and Jibanyan fighting." No backup can be recieved. You broke your own rule! Does it feel nice to lose via ignorance? Rule 10 stated you'd (risk) a loss by failing to follow the rules! So get rekt!*ahem* Anyways, you did break a rule by requesting back up which was never allowed. I suggest the voters take this into account."Luck Comparable to Harry Potter - In Pokemon episode 1, Pikachu was presented to Ash Ketchup in a pokeball with the emblem of a lightning bolt, clearly indicating (like Harry Potter's famous scar) that he is the chosen one with a unique destiny, whereas he has repeatedly proven this time again by beating the odds against some of the most powerful pokemon ever."Or, you know, Pikachu's a lightning mouse pokemon, therefore lightning. And Nate also had lucky times where something pops up to save the day when he could not, and he's an average kid (which is a running joke in the cartoon). So... what exactly does this mean?"Cartoon Mouse Advantage - Pikachu is a cartoon mouse, whereas Jibanyan is clearly a cat, and the history of cartoon cat vs. cartoon mouse matchups shows that the mouse always wins."I personally don't accept this argument, as you're taking a trope and using it as an argument. But I will do a bit of research to humour this... Alright. Nothing popped up that's interesting. But this doesn't mean anything. Jibanyan's stats are still superior.Ash Ketchum:"Super Human Durability - Ash Ketchum has superhuman durability and could be immortal. He has repeatedly been zapped, hosed, torched, blasted, water boarded, and chomped on, but has never yet suffered any lethal injuries...."Therefore...? He's not battling, so this is irrelevant."Ridiculously Good Luck - Once again, Ash Ketchum has shown he is insanely lucky with superhuman instincts and durability, but more than that he always seems to win against impossible odds, even though Team Rocket (a billion dollar high tech crime syndicate made up of elite pokemon trainers and scientists) constantly tries to stop him."Luck means little. And it's not that he's lucky, Team Rocket just sucks as their job."Scumbag Hat Transformation"Again, he's not in the actual fight, just merely watching over and instructing his Pokemon. As far as I'm concered, this is irrelevant."Sensitive To Magic - Humans and pokemon in the pokemon universe have shown able to use magic"And teach Pikachu magic? But Pikachu can't learn any water type attacks. Besides, how would Ash know how to use Scald or whatever? Theme; What mind control?Equipment and Pokedex; It's a Pokedex, not a Yo-kai Pad.
