I wasn’t initially going to have the battle with Skyler be a sky diving battle, but quickly decided it could be a whole lot more interesting than just another normal battle. I should make it clear that in Luna, Terra, and Sol, the battle with Skyler is not anything different from normal, however, after you become champion, you can challenge him to a Sky Battle (Sky Battles do make a return throughout the games) once a day. This episode was kind of my way to have Ash lose against a Gym Leader, without actually having to bother with an actual rematch later.
