Well now that I've been watching the battles so many ties,I notice that pokemon only work on their master's orders..so lik if they're about to get hit by an ultra beam or something that'll kill them they just stand there to wait for thir death until their master says something? and also HWO THE HECK DO THE TRAINERS TALK SO FAST THAT THEY GIVE OUT THEIR ORDERS IN A SECOND!! LIKE for example pikachu is out on a battle they're gonna hit him with bubblebeam,and then the buble beam is like 2 seconds away from him and then ash says: "pikachu thunderbolt!!" that whole sentence takes more than 2 seconds!!by that time shouldnt pikachu have been hit already?? ...NO! it actually has time to sit around and wait for the orders and do them!!all in so lil time?h-how is that possible??cuz I really wanna know ,heck !If I knew,I could prevent car accidents and stuff!!
