Why is the Blueberry Academy arc ending already because five episodes was not nearly enough time for everything
trunks_traveler_85
Briar dropping all that lore about the eighteen types and the six heroes makes the mission feel so much bigger now
kirishima_red_riot
My heart was so happy seeing Skeledirge finally show up after all that build up with Roy and his singing
sheik_263
Kieran showing up in the crowd for a second was cool but he really deserved way more screen time before the arc ended
iono_363
I still think Roy beating Drayton was a bit of a stretch and the power gap just feels huge even with that clever Kilowattrel combo
thegingerweeb420
Kilowattrel jumping in to take that massive hit for Crocalor was such a big moment even if it didn't get a knockout
umizato_unicorn
Skeledirge is finally here and that tiny bird on his head having its own personality is the best thing ever
glenn_radars
kieran and the others only showing up for a second at the academy totally left me wanting more, I mean, why even tease us like that before we just zoomed away? but I was genuinely thrilled for roy when he finally got that powerhouse pokemon he's been needing, his team is gonna be so much stronger now and I bet he's pumped.

Kieran just standing there in the crowd for two seconds was such a tease and it feels weird that they are leaving Blueberry Academy so fast without him doing anything
xiangliyaos
Seeing the strategy with the wind and fire was cool and Roy finally getting that big win against Drayton made me so happy for him
bulma_brilliance
Kilowattrel acting as a taxi for Crocalor was such a smart move and it sucks that it didn't get a knockout but it really carried that battle before it went down
samebito_samurai_84
It sucks that Kilowattrel had to tank that hit for Crocalor just to be the one that faints while the other guy gets all the glory of evolving
narutorunner99
Skeledirge looks so massive and powerful on screen but seeing Kilowattrel go down without getting a single knockout felt a bit unfair after all that work
flat
My biggest worry is that Skeledirge is going to end up like Ash's Torterra where it just loses all its speed and starts losing every single match, but the way it handled Drayton today makes me think Roy might actually know how to use a heavy hitter. The evolution sequence was gorgeous and that music choice really made the whole rematch feel important.

The battle was great, but Liko and Dot barely did anything this whole time and now the group is already leaving for the next mission.

Skeledirge appearing right in the middle of that intense fight was exactly what the show needed and the animation for the fire attacks looked so good
susanoo_slayer_49
Roy beating Drayton so soon after getting crushed feels a bit fast for the power scaling but the strategy with Kilowattrel made it feel more like a team effort than just luck
yanari_yurei
I am still buzzing from Skeledirge appearing, because Roy really earned that evolution after everything they went through during the battle. It was a bit of a letdown to see the other Elite Four members get basically no screen time, though. I just hope Skeledirge keeps moving around in fights and doesn't just become a tank that stands in one spot.

It is about time Kilowattrel did something useful in a major fight and watching it sacrifice itself so Roy could win against that Kingdra showed how much it cares for Crocalor
kyurem
The lore dump from Briar about needing eighteen powerful Tera types to save Terapagos sounds like a massive task and it makes me curious how Liko and Roy will even find that many
EPISODE CONTEXT
This episode directly follows Episode 118's focus on Liko and Hattrem's bond, creating a deliberate parallel by shifting the spotlight to Roy's personal resolve and his relationship with his Pokémon partners. It serves as the second half of a character development pairing, ensuring both protagonists are emotionally prepared for what comes next. Episode 120 pivots to Dot and Penny on a secret mission, signaling a transition from individual growth arcs into collaborative, plot-driven territory.
