The next day with Ash, Pikachu, Leorio and Kurapika waking up in Recovery Girl's office.
Ash: Huh? Where are we?
Kurapika: We're in Recovery Girl's office.
Ash: Who's that?
Kurapika: The person who's been taking care of us after we were ambushed by Dabi.
Leorio: We didn't stand a chance against that guy. Just how strong are the League Of Villains?
Kurapika: They are more dangerous than Hisoka.
Leorio: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!! NO WONDER WE COULDN'T FIGHT BACK!!!
Pikachu: Pika!
Ash: What's wrong buddy?
Pikachu points to Meowth who is still unconscious.
Ash: Meowth, only if I was faster, we wouldn't be in this situation.
Leorio: It's not your fault Ash.
Ash: It is my fault Leorio, I wasn't able to use my Z-move quick enough to defeat Dabi.
Kurapika: Well from what you and Gon have described about these Z-move, I guess that Dabi attacked while you were preparing your pose.
Ash: That explains it.
Kurapika: You mean that you never thought about that being an opportunity for your opponent to strike back?
Ash: It never crossed my mind.
Kurapika: Why am I not surprised?
Leorio: I never thought about that either.
Kurapika: That also doesn't surprise me.
Ash: It explains why Meowth hasn't recovered yet. Using all of his energy to try and use a Z-move for the first time will have tired him out.
Leorio: You did say that Z-moves can only be used once per fight, is that why?
Ash: I suppose it is, I've never thought of it that way before.
