A new rival like Ult is going to get on everyone's nerves fast if he keeps saying the word mega in every single sentence he speaks
erica_brown
Liko being back at the academy felt strange because she seems so down, and I really hope Ann can help her feel better soon.

Mega Sableye looked great in action and it is interesting to see another trainer using Mega Evolution so early in this new season
microwaved_dave
I can't believe Roy just has a Lucario and Mega Evolution now and the show didn't even explain where they came from during the time skip
levifangirl
Dot is still focused on her Nidothing broadcasts which shows some things never change but seeing Liko back at the academy feels like such a massive shift for the series
steven_stone_327
It was cool to follow Roy searching for the Black Rayquaza with Captain Pikachu and the new party eyecatches are a nice touch

I am really confused about how Roy ended up with a Lucario and a Mega Stone after that time skip, but seeing that Mega Lucario go up against a Mega Sableye was a massive moment. It is strange that Laquium is still causing problems for Pokémon like that Slaking, and I really wonder if that Lucario is actually a shiny variant.
jiraiya_jester_50
Having a rampaging Slaking infected by Laquium is a scary thought and it proves the threat wasn't actually gone like everyone thought it was
rengoku_radiance
One year jump feels so weird because Liko looks like she is carrying so much guilt and her friend Ann is clearly worried about her well being
mewtwo_304
Two different mega evolutions clashing in the first part of this new arc was a great way to show how the power ceiling has changed during the skip and the battle was really well done
nabooru_268
It was honestly wild to see Roy just pull out a Mega Lucario to deal with that Slaking, but the fight with Ult was definitely the highlight of the special
ulquiorra_uber
I cannot believe it has already been a year since the Laqua battle and seeing Roy travel with Captain Pikachu alone was such a mood shift
zygarde_312
It made me so happy to see Dot back in her room making Nidothing videos because she looks so much more confident now than she was at the start
dialga
The new eyecatches showing the whole team are a nice touch, and it really emphasizes how much Roy and the others have built their parties over the year
umibozu_usurper
That Slaking was acting so weird and seeing Laquium return after it was supposed to be gone for good is a crazy twist
raifort
Life back at the academy looks good for Liko and her growth as a trainer over the year is really obvious now
kirishima_red_riot
I really cannot stand how Ult says mega in every single sentence but his Mega Sableye is a tough opponent and that battle with Roy was great
iris
The return of mega evolution is exactly what this show needed and the animation for the transformation sequence was so exciting
tengu_tempest_61
Liko watching Roy act so much more mature while she struggles with her own self-doubt was a really heavy way to start the episode, even if it was sad
fierce_deity_271
The time skip is such a wild way to start this new arc and seeing everyone so far apart is heavy. Roy looks like a different person with that Shiny Lucario and Liko being stuck in her head at school while the world thinks the Rising Volt Tacklers are criminals is a lot to take in right now and it makes their reunion feel impossible
EPISODE CONTEXT
This episode launches a new narrative chapter following the resolution of the Laqua arc, using a significant time skip to reposition all three leads on divergent paths. It functions as a soft reset, re-establishing character dynamics and daily lives before pulling them back into conflict. Roy's investigation into unusual Pokémon behavior serves as the clearest thread pointing toward whatever larger mystery this next arc intends to unravel.
