Pikachu vs Jibanyan

I thank Strategery for posting his argument. With that, let's see what's wrong with his explanation for a Pikachu victory.Rebuttal: Biased Victory;His first argument is that Pikachu is more famous, and would get a biased victory. In case you didn't know, the winner is based off of strength and durability, not biased popularity. For this reason, voters can just ignore this point altogether.Strength:Electric Power; Yes, Pikachu is quite powerful. I'll have to concede that, however, keep in mind Jibanyan has taken many hits, and was never disabled.Leer; Okay, I don't remember Pikachu using Leer. I'm going to watch that episode... Actually, do I have to? I've seen every episode of the Black/White series, and Pikachu never used Leer there. I'm personally a bit skeptical as to if Pikachu does use Leer, if often.Volt Tackle; One megaton... I personally don't think Jibanyan has been through THAT kind of force, but keep in mind Pikachu still lost that fight against Blanka (He was without Ash, but still).Volt Tackle is powerful, but there's a catch! When Pikachu uses it, he takes 33% recoil damage. Assuming Jibanyan takes a ton of damage, Pikachu will be damaged a lot in the process. ScrewAttack mentions this in the Blanka fight. Knowing this, Ash won't use this move very often.Surf; Nice. Pikachu can surf. So what? This isn't a coolness contest! It's a battle. This point is irrelevant. (I know Surf is a Pokemon attack, but Pikachu is unable to use it, both in the video games, and anime) Flight; Ash probably isn't going to bring balloons. That's also against the rules to bring a held item. Plus, How will Pikachu call forth a flying pokemon? Ash won't be able to call forth reinforcements, as this is only between Pikachu and Jibanyan.Speed:Quick Attack; Yes, Pikachu can use quick attack to get free hits, but it's not exactly powerful. I concede it is a good attack, though.Agility; Yes, Pikachu has dodged normally speedy attacks, but remember he still gets hit in the anime. But, as Pro stated, Pikachu is pretty fast. I'll have to concede this point as well.Durability:Yes, Pikachu is quite durable, and could probably take a few car hits. But keep in mind Jibanyan is almost equal, if not more, durable than Pikachu.Abilities:Leadership; Again, this is a fight between only Pikachu and Jibanyan. Plus, this is taking place in Jibanyan's world, but Pikachu's, so there's no reinforcements to even hire.Intelligence; Jibanyan is also smart. He can understand humans, he can read, he can speak full sentences, and come up with strategies on his own. Although I don't see how this helps at all.Expelliarmus! (It's been a while, okay?); Nice, Pikachu and Harry Potter have lightning. This is just a coincidence and doesn't mean anything.Raichu; ... Hahaha. Sorry, it's just that Pro's wrong on a few facts. 1) It's the Thunderstone which Pikachu uses to evolve, not Moonstone. (Minor detail, but still) 2) In the anime, Pikachu refuses to evolve. Ash respects this, and won't force Pikachu to evolve. Giovanni would be happy with a Yo-kai!; 1) Team Rocket would be an annoyance more than anything. I won't allow for them to show up. 2) Even if I allowed for the annoyance, and they captured Jibanyan, Nate possesses the Yo-kai Watch, which allows him to teleport Jibanyan back into the battle. And Ash and Pikachu would probably kick their butts as well.A game of Cat and Mouse; This is a logical fallacy. Yes, Jerry always defeats Tom, and Itchy cures his Itch For Murder by murdering Scratchy, but this is just comic relief. Besides, even if the mouse wins in cartoons, that doesn't mean in an actual fight, the mouse would still win.Trainer: Ash KetchumAsh Ketchum sent out Ash Ketchum!; Okay, in the movie, it wasn't Ash who turned himself into stone, it was the attack combination of Mew and Mewtwo. Also, Pro says "Ash could be a formidable melee fighter should he choose to interfere." Should he choose to interfere, which we've never seen Ash actually battle a pokemon, whether owned or wild. Like a normal pokemon trainer, Ash lets his pokemon do the battling. And I doubt Ash himself will battle.Luck; There isn't necessarily luck in this battle, except if you count cars as luck. So, this means little. Voters can decide for themselves, though.Ash Ketchum went to Hogwarts!; Okay, send us a link of this. Last time I checked, this isn't Final Fantasy, and humans can't use magic even in the Pokemon world. Hang on... "telekinesis, transformation, force fields, and the ability to read minds" Those exact traits seems familiar... Ah well! Moving on! (Hahaha. Just can't contain my laughter.) But Pro, please source this. Also, show that Ash can indeed use these powers, this especially.Super Saiyan Hat; Okay, Pro is obviously trolling in this debate, which is against the rules. Magic, Surfing, and now saying that when Ash is serious, he becomes powerful by turning his hat.The very best like no one ever was; Again, Pro's just having fun. A theme song is, simply, a theme song, and nothing more than a song.Equipment; The Pokedex has no data on Jibanyan, since he's not a Pokemon. Pokeballs won't do anything, since there are no pokemon nearby, because 1) The battle doesn't use reinforcements, and 2) It's Jibanyan's world, so there's isn't even any pokemon in the area! Also, Pro, what else does Ash carry in his backpack, and how often does he use said items?Observation:I realise what Pro is getting at. The rules never states that reinforcements aren't allowed. But the debate is "Pikachu vs Jibanyan", not "Ash Ketchum vs Nathan Adams". So I suggest, by the resolution itself, that Pro refrain from bringing in reinforcements. Let's make this a fair fight, eh?Closing Thoughts: Next round, Strategery will attempt to refute my claims of Jibanyan, and defend his own claims. Let's see what comes next.Battle Tally:Power: Pikachu, by a lot.Speed: CloseDurability: Close, Pikachu has taken on numerous strong foes. Jibanyan has dealt with being ran over practically daily.Abilities: Jibanyan (Not counting electricity, Pikachu has no real abilities. Jibanyan has his Inspirit technique)Helper: Close, both Ash and Nate can make good strategies.[This is my own perspective on the stats. Voters may agree or disagree with my tally, and that's fine.]
