QUICK TAKES
rana_rhapsody_503
i can't believe arboliva just came out and saved everyone by itself and seeing lucius in that vision made me so curious about the connection to the pendant and terapagos
sailor_tin_nyanko_392
It blows my mind that Liko basically has a legendary on her team now and it happened so early in the journey compared to what we are used to seeing
amikiri_amigo
Using the scent from Sprigatito to calm the rage was such a smart way to handle a bird that was clearly just suffering instead of being evil
gohan_glory
liko is such a different kind of trainer and using the scent to calm down moltres was way better than just knocking it out and it really shows how much she cares about pokemon
vexen_457
Roy wanting to fight everything while Liko looks for a peaceful way out shows why she is the perfect lead for this show, and that team effort with the scent was clever.

Amethio watching them from the ridge at the end was super ominous and it definitely feels like things are about to get way more dangerous for the pendant now
roy_mustang_116
My head is spinning after that Lucius vision because the resemblance to Liko is just too strong to ignore at this point and that little turtle creature coming out of the pendant was the coolest part of the whole mine sequence, and it really makes me think the Explorers are a bigger threat now that they are shifting focus to Terapagos
rem_rebel
Arboliva showing up on its own to protect the group and setting up that grassy terrain was huge and it made the whole atmosphere in the mine feel so different
suika_sphere
Kabu showing up at the end to praise Liko was sweet and she definitely earned that respect after calming a legendary
jugrad_juggernaut_482
I expected a huge fight but seeing Liko use Sprigatito and Arboliva to calm Moltres was way better, and that vision of Lucius actually made me feel for the legendary bird. It was also pretty creepy seeing Amethio watching from the shadows because now he knows about Terapagos, and I am worried about what the Explorers will do next.
sunekosuri_slayer
I am still kind of annoyed that we did not see how Friede and Amethio got out of that spot last time and skipping that felt like such a weird choice for the show
hitotsume_kozo_31
Friede just showing up at the center after that cliffhanger was such a cop out and they really needed to show how he escaped
mikasa_ackerman
Liko choosing to understand Moltres instead of just hitting it with moves was such a cool shift, and it really proves her compassion as a trainer
finral_flyer
Amethio is definitely going to be a problem now that he saw that little turtle pop out of the pendant
goku_guardian
The way the animation shifted during the grassy terrain scene was beautiful and Arboliva coming out to protect Liko was a great touch
nekomata_ninja
I find it so cool that Liko chose to understand Moltres rather than just attacking it and that moment with the pendant was intense
