QUICK TAKES

I can't believe Roy just Mega Evolved a wild Lucario out of nowhere and the animation for that fight was so good

I couldn't look away from the screen when Roy triggered Mega Evolution on a Pokémon that wasn't even his and it really changes the rules

Lucario acting like a giant puppy wanting to join the team after that intense battle was the cutest thing ever

shinji_ikari_180

You have to wonder if the wild Mega Evolution is a hint for the new Legends ZA game because the lore is getting really interesting now

Ult finally getting Mega Sableye felt so right for his arc and seeing that bond pay off made the whole episode for me

I am actually kind of torn on Roy being able to Mega Evolve a wild Lucario without a bond or a stone, because it feels like they are making him way too powerful lately and he just keeps getting these massive boosts and I hope Liko doesn't get left behind in the dust, but the animation was so pretty I can almost ignore it

The battles in this one were so high quality and seeing Sableye transform was the highlight of the week

Roy singing to Crocalor again was such a throwback and it actually worked to take down that Lucario

Roy using his singing gimmick to hype up Crocalor during that fight was a nice throwback and that Skeledirge evolution needs to happen soon

EPISODE CONTEXT

This is the capstone of the Mega Evolution mini-arc, directly following the setbacks Roy and Ult experienced in 'Ult: Strongest,' where their attempts to master Mega Evolution hit a wall. Episode 114 resolves that tension by reframing the challenge around emotional connection rather than raw power. It also serves as a bridge into the 'Rising Again' arc, positioning the characters for fresh challenges with stronger foundations beneath them.
