#i'd trade away lusamine's not even a redemption arc for that in a heartbeat

i feel like there was such a missed opportunity with sumo to focus more on found family when it comes to gladion and lillie. especially with gladion, one of team skull's defining appeals is that they're a big group of misfits who found a place to belong amongst each other. it sucks that he was never considered a real member of them, he deserved a place to call home and a family to call his own without lusamine. i feel like him at least forming a true bond with plumeria would've been sweet to see.
