it was okay-ish. He won due to sheer luck. Finding himself inmidst of a waste dump that coincidentially features highly poisonous substances and parasites miraculously being weak to poison. Come on, parasites, even in Pokemon, poison is usually worthless!11

But. again, given the circumstances, it was a competently handled fight.
