Meet Porkchop my shiny Lechonk (Or for Japanese fans Gourton). I don't know which form they'll evolve into since Porkchop is a transgender Pokemon (A rare occurance). Nature is Impish (+Defense -Special Attack and Loves Sour foods but hates Dry foods).

Moves as Lechonk are Body Slam, Knock Off, Yawn and Protect

Moves are the same as Male Oinkologne (Or for Japanese fans Perfuton)

Female however is Body Slam, Play Rough, Yawn and Protect

(P.S. If you have a better nature or moveset let me know)

Some character notes and episode notes for HZ051, writing them down for future reference.

The ep starts with the kids reaching some place to do their reports on wild Pokemon. Dot uses Friede's distribution map as help for the reports (Liko and Roy roast Friede btw since they are not used to seeing the academic side of him), and they all decide to study and set up camp there (they're excited to show their results to everyone on the ship too). They set up their tents. Roy is the fastest (he is used to this), Dot set hers too, Liko took some time since Nyarote was playing with the rope (very cat-like reaction). Nyarote's attention turns to a Kunugidama sleeping on a tree, and Roy accidentally ran into the tree and made it fall and explode.

Liko and Roy wash their Pokemon in the river. Roy spots a Pokemon (Kaiden's evolution) and decides he'll write his report on him. He asks Liko and Dot if he can go after it and they agree. Dot tells him to be careful (which is sweet, and also cute that Roy asks them before running after that Pokemon, that way they can both know where he is). Dot decides to go back to her tent and research the local Pokemon for her report. Liko stays at the river. She lets Terapagos roam free and play around, and has to wash Mibrim again since the latter got dirty by falling down. Nyarote gets a bit annoyed and plays with her yoyo in the meantime and wants to show Liko one of her tricks, but Liko's attention is taken by Terapagos who is walking away. Liko apologizes to Nyarote but she is annoyed and jealous seeing Mibrim and Terapagos in Liko's arms, so she turns away. Liko tries to touch Nyarote, but gets pricked by her fur becoming spiky all of a sudden. Nyarote slaps Liko's hand away and runs away after realizing what she's done (it seems like she is still afraid of hurting people she loves, like in HZ040).

Back at the camp, Kanuchan and Kuwassu are playing together while Dot is looking for info for her report. She notices Nyarote is by herself and asks Liko what happened when she comes back to the camp. Liko is a bit nervous and explains that Nyarote is in a bad mood. Dot switches the topic to their reports and suggests they share info. She tells Liko about the flower pillar phenomenon and explains it's shrouded in mystery but that anyone who sees it will find happiness. Liko wants to tell Nyarote about it but notices that Terapagos is gone so she prioritizes looking for him and asks Nyarote to go with her. Dot thinks she should head out too but Kuwassu is too busy taking care of his coif and she has to stop Kanuchan from breaking their frying pan (these scenes were cute and funny).

Liko is looking for Terapagos without much success. She asks Nyarote to help her, but Nyarote ignores her. Liko is sad about it, and Nyarote also looks sad seeing Liko like that (I love that these two are just like this... Nyarote doesn't like seeing Liko hurt or sad and she is the one causing it and she knows that, but also cannot help her feeling of jealousy). Mibrim tries to cheer up Liko, so Nyarote keeps ignoring Liko. Meanwhile, Terapagos arrives at a pond and is amazed by the Pokemon there and gets blasted off by a Gourton (and laughs the whole time too, he was having fun, which was so cute). Liko arrives at the pond where Terapagos and recognizes his footprints. She decides to follow them, and hands Mibrim to Nyarote who has to carry her. Mibrim can sense Nyarote's feelings so she feels nervous, but they soon realize that Liko is missing and run after her. Liko falls off a cliff in the meantime and realize she was separated from her Pokemon.

Meanwhile, Nyarote and Mibrim find Terapagos struggling on his back in the forest. Mibrim tries to flip him over but he is too heavy for her, so she can't. Nyarote watches the whole time, but doesn't do anything. Mibrim and Terapagos call for her help and she eventually helps Terapagos. The latter walks towards a tree with more Kunugidama and Nyarote quickly freaks out and grabs him and runs away in the other direction, Mibrim following her. (The whole scene was basically Nyarote being the tired big sister of the group but still helping the baby. Mibrim also really feels like the middle sister who is trying her best to be helpful, since she is now less scared of her surroundings and takes in more responsabilities, especially towards Terapagos.)

Liko wonders how to get out of the ravine, since she can't exactly climb out. She also notices it's getting hot. All of a sudden, a lot of Nonokurage appear. Liko hides and wonders what they are doing. The Pokemon spot her, which makes her freak out and scream. Nyarote arrives to protect her (she was carrying both Mibrim and Terapagos, very cool of her) and is ready to attack the Nonokurage and is fiercely protective of Liko. Liko understands that Nyarote wants to protect her but she stops her from attacking the Nonokurage as they haven't done anything to her. She hugs her and doesn't mind being hurt by her spikes the whole time. She keeps embracing her until Nyarote calms down and her fur becomes soft again. Terapagos walks over to the Nonokurage to talk to them (Terapagos really seems to be able to get along with anyone, it's been shown a few times already so I'm curious about this). Liko decides to help the Nonokurage who just need the vines gone (and the Pokemon also help her out of the ravine). Nyarote cuts the vines with her Magical Leaf, and the Nonokurage then all wait for something to happen. A strong wind blows and they all jump into the tornado, which causes the flower pillar phenomenon. Liko and her Pokemon all look amazed at it, and Liko says she is happy she could see this with everyone, and especially Nyarote. She takes Nyarote's hand and Nyarote licks her arm where she hurt her with her spikes (very cute scene, they are precious).

At night, back at the camp, Liko explains that she saw the flower pillar. Roy is handling food in this scene btw (idk if they all prepared together, but it's good to show this, Roy is good with crafts and at cooking, good for him!). Liko explains that the flower petals turned out to be Nonokurage flaps. Dot manages to understand how the phenomenon happened (and she explains it too), and asks Liko if she took it on video or photos. Liko completely forgot (she was immersed in the moment and just enjoyed it as it came.. highlights the differences between her and Dot, since Dot often records and documents her adventures). Liko decides she'll draw an illustration for her report since she remembers the phenomenon clearly. Roy wants to see Liko's illustration when she is done (cute tbh). At the end, Liko thinks about how she was happy to learn more about Nyarote through this experience and strengthen their bond. Nyarote seems happy about it too.

Overall cute ep focusing on Liko and Pokemon emotions (which is her Thing). Liko being willing to endure pain for those she loves is something that makes me think a lot. Liko willing to accept pain by/for those she loves, VS Nyarote who is so afraid of hurting the ones she loves because she doesn't want her friends to leave her. Put these two together, and wait for the result.

Also, this ep kind of made me remember why I like smaller teams of Pokemon for characters. Having lots of Pokemon means you need to divide your attention between them, make sure to care for them all, some get left behind etc. It's a huge responsability, especially for kids. So that's why I prefer smaller teams and actually hope the trio won't have lots of Pokemon. Which I don't think will happen anyway, but I think the max I could see is another addition to their respective teams and that's it (and tbh I do not want more than that, since Pokemon with clear defined personalities and arcs who fit their trainers and dynamics with each other is better than just having a bunch of them for the sake of it..). Anyway, I think Nyarote kind of learned to understand Liko better through this ep too, since she had to run around and take care of both Mibrim and Terapagos. They both learned to understand each other better. I think jealousy will always be a part of Nyarote, but I think she understands that Liko doesn't have malicious intentions.

This ep airing also overlapped with episode 17 of Wonderful Precure (both airing the same week), which also featured a cat being protective of her human, so that was nice for me specifically (Yuki protecting Mayu, just like how Nyarote protects Liko). Yuki's lines to Mayu being "You're fine as you are. Stay your kind self, who cannot ignore those in trouble. If your kindness ever puts you in harm's way, then I'll protect you" is something I can imagine Nyarote saying to Liko if she could talk.

' shigeru ! ' satoshi's greeting is still cheerful and boisterous despite being underneath several pokemon. ( not his own , but friendly still the same. satoshi had returned a wandering baby to the worried parents , and now they -- parents and children both -- were clearly trying to smother him with affection. would not be the worst way to go , but the group of perfuton and gourton were pretty heavy. ). still unwilling to move as he didn't want to push the family off , even as pikachu rolls his eyes at satoshi before playing with the kids , satoshi keeps prone on the ground. ' hey , i didn't think you were coming to paldea. researching something ? '
