What is the problem with noting specifically that it is Paul's indifference to his very own Pokemon that outrages Ash.

Paul has been shown to have a certain degree of athleticism. In ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'', he and {{AP|Chimchar}} were seen to be able to downwardly scale a cliff of a waterfall near Bewilder Forest by swinging and leaping from rocks and branches. This could indicate that Paul physically trains himself and not just his Pokémon. | Paul has been shown to have a certain degree of athleticism.

Paul feels that Ash is a weak Trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Ash's very different attitude towards being friends with Pokémon also provides much fuel to their rivalry. Out of all the rivals that Ash has, Paul seems to be the most harsh towards him and his Pokémon. Despite that, Paul barely recognizes their rivalry and Ash as a Trainer and ignores Ash's speeches about loving his Pokémon. Ash on the other hand has a hatred of Paul that flares up at Paul's indifference to his Pokémon. However Ash accepts that Paul is a strong Trainer but considers himself on the same par as him. Paul's first hint of respect for Ash was in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' when he was very surprised to hear that Ash had beaten Brandon in a Pokémon battle. | Paul feels that Ash is a weak Trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it.

Although Paul finds most of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} weak (the ones he has actually met), he has shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}, as shown in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act To Follow!]]'', after Pikachu used Thunderbolt on Roark's Cranidos. Paul is also angered by how Ash "contradicts" himself by criticizing Paul's {{pkmn|training}} methods and then uses similar ones, such as entering the [[Wallace Cup]], despite Ash's motivations being clearly different than Paul's. | Although Paul finds most of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} weak (the ones he has actually met), he has shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}, as shown in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act To Follow!]]'', after Pikachu used Thunderbolt on Roark's Cranidos.
