** Riptide always lost against Gorillamp when they battled previously, ever since they were an Aquana and Chimplug respectively. This mix the first time Riptide finally managed to defeat it.

* VillainousBreakdown: Lightning, having slowly gotten more annoyed over the course of the battle, finally has one in the climax. When Riptide seems to be beaten, Lightning begins demanding to be declared the winner already, only for Riptide to keep getting back up. When Riptide won't stay down and Flash starts taunting him, Lightning completely loses his cool, screaming he is sick of Flash always getting in his way and that he is going to destroy him, causing the entire crowd to flinch in shock at this outburst.

* BrokenWinLossStreak: Applies to both Flash and his Pokémon.
** Flash finally defeats Lightning in an official Pokémon battle. Previously he only managed to tie with him or outright lose. Though it was downplayed previously when he beat Lightning in the Balance Battle Tournament, they both acknowledged that it wasn't a "real battle". But this is a true victory for Flash that can't be downplayed or denied.
** Riptide always lost against Gorillamp when they battled previously, ever since they were an Aquana and Chimplug respectively. This mix the first time Riptide finally managed to defeat it.



* HeroicRematch: Flash finally manages to defeat Lightning in an official battle, after drawing in their first battle and losing to him in every other, with the only exception being his victory against him in the Balance Battle Tournament, which they both state was not being a "real battle".

to:

* HeroicRematch: EveryoneHasStandards: Everyone in the crowd is left frowning after watching Gorillamp defeat Springer, and barely anyone even cheers. They might enjoy an exciting battle, but that brutal display was way too much for them.

* MythologyGag: Flash's reaction to realizing he has finally beaten his rival Lightning is similar to [[Recap/PokemonS5E61CantBeatTheHeat Ash's own reaction to beating his own long time rival Gary]].

Added DiffLines:

* TheDeterminator: Riptide absolutely refuses to stay down and be defeated by Lightning and Gorillamp again, constantly getting back up again every time he seems to be down for good. His persistence ultimately pays off, and wins him and Flash the match.
* EntitledBastard: Lightning starts ''demanding'' to be declared the winner before Riptide is officially knocked out, deciding that Riptide is already finished and the "so called match" as he puts it is over. Later, after Flash is declared the winner, Lightning is so shocked by this that he begins mumbling that this "isn't right" and that he was "supposed to win and beat Shining Armor" because he is "the strongest".


Added DiffLines:

* LaserGuidedKarma: Lightning Blitz is defeated by Flash Sentry, who he has constantly dismissed as a "worthless loser" who wastes his time with "weak Pokémon". Additionally, his ace Pokémon Gorillamp is defeated by Riptide, who Lightning has constantly dismissed as "worthless" since the start of the series.

* HumblePie: Lightning takes a huge slice after losing to Flash. He has his entire worldview shattered, barely able to process that he lost and isn't going to face, let alone ''beat'', Shining Armor like he thought he was destined to. As he slowly sulks out of town, he realizes for the first time in a long time he has no idea what his future holds and is forced to concede that maybe Flash was right the whole time. He ends up humbly asking Grand Hoof for help, despite expecting to be rejected because of how [[IHaveNoSon Grand had previously washed his hands of Lightning]].
