CUTEST. POKEGIRL. EVER. ❤️

Motherbeast is here! What’s this? Clefable charging to Lillie?

[rohanite]

My favourite thing about this episode is the way they explained Lusamine’s state, basically Nihilego is tapping into her life long desire of meeting an Ultra Beast and making her act like a child protective of its new favourite toy, so yeah it’s kinda like the games where Nihilego amplifies a person’s already existing qualities, so Lusamine is not 100% a helpless victim, she definitely had some issues beforehand (though she’s definitely not evil in any way but that ship has long sailed, alas). Action wasn’t that well animated and there was a lot of running from place to place (+there was an annoyingly dragged out scene of them trying to destroy a mountain that they could’ve simply jumped over, just to show that Solgaleo was stronger than the other Mons), but it was mostly build up for next week so here’s hoping that’ll deliver. I do like how Lusamine kept gradually dropping more Pokemon as she was running away and a part of the group always stayed behind to deal with it while Satoshi and Lilie kept following the big bad (well, it’s kind of a generic formula but whatever it works). And I love how Rowlet and Litten came for the classmate’s rescue, like not to disrespect them or anything but they HAVE been specifically pointed out to be extremely weak in battles in the Kanto arc and sleepover episode so makes sense that they’d need some help (tho it could be more about them being caught up the Teeter Dance, they’ll probably hold their own next week). Of course Rowlet ruined the moment immediately lolol (for the characters I mean, not me. I’m all for some fun even in a situation like this). Looking forward to the Rowlet/Steenee combo next week~ The big Lilie and Clefable scene again suffers from lack of prior build up, like we knew there was SOMETHING since she used to raise it as a Clefairy and she has that Cleffa doll, just would’ve liked to have seen more to REALLY care. But oh well, twas pretty nice regardless.

Pokemon Sun & Moon Anime’s Aether Arc - Pacing

Something I wanted to put together… Might have to do some editing later if I remember something despite doing this while rewatching the arc, but I thought it’d be fun to see how pacing actually was.

SM044 - Start of the Arc, Introduction of Lusamine, Burnet, Wicke, Sauboh/Faba after Satoshi finds Cosmog/Nebby, the basic lore of Ultra Beasts and Guardian Deities, relationship between Lilie and Lusamine is explored.

SM045 - Introduction continues, Cosmog knows Teleport, Rocket Gang learns about Cosmog/Nebby. Battle Scene between Satoshi & Pikachu and Musashi & Mimikkyu.

SM046 - Aether Paradise Introduction, relationship between Lilie and Lusamine is explored further, hints of Type: Null’s purpose and Faba/Sauboh having something to do with Lilie’s fear of Pokemon. Rocket Gang is shown working for Aether Foundation thanks to Sauboh hiring them.

SM047 - Type: Null is introduced to Ash/Satoshi and explained deeper to the audience. Gladio explains Lilie being afraid of Pokemon because of being attacked by an Ultra Beast, and how Silvuddy saved her. Also tells more about Gladio’s motives as well. Battle between Satoshi’s Lycanroc and Gladio’s Type: Null.

SM048 - Deeper introduction on Burnet and Kukui’s relationship, Lilie has a verbal fight with Lusamine, we learn more about Lilie’s and Lusamine’s past relationship. Lilie goes back to the start with the fear of pokemon thanks to seeing Silvuddy and remembering something. Plot thickens.

SM049 - Sauboh takes Type: Null back from Gladio, only for Gladio to go and get it back after shouting at Lusamine and making her realise the error of her ways, who also didn’t know about Lilie being attacked by an Ultra Beast. Sauboh also makes a move towards trying to erase Lilie’s memories she’s now trying to get back with the help from Nebby and Satoshi. Rocket Gang does not approve of Sauboh and quit. Type: Null breaks it’s mask and becomes Silvuddy. Lilie remembers Silvuddy saving her from UB1: Parasite when she was little after Sauboh’s Alakazam holds her up with Psychic and Silvuddy saving her again. Stops fearing pokemon, can touch them now! UB1: Parasite was summoned by Sauboh in the past. Plot thickens.  Lots of battle scenes between Satoshi and Sauboh, as well as Gladio and Sauboh.

SM050 - Lilie is shown enjoying hugging all the Pokemon at School, fun activities, Sauboh plans to kidnap Nebby, Rocket Gang interfears, succeeds, Nebby escapes because of clever teleport, Sauboh succeeds. Satoshi, Gladio, Lilie and Lusamine go save Nebby. Nebby is saved, but evolves to Cosmoem. Ultra Hole is opened due to this. Lusamine gets kidnapped by UB1: Parasite when protecting Gladio and Lilie. Plot now has a conflict. Episode ends with cliffhanger. Battle scene between Satoshi, Gladio and Lusamine vs Nihilego.

SM051 - Lilie and Gladio run away from home to save Lusamine, rest of Alola Squad along with Kukui follow then after learning where to go from Hala. Episode ends with Kapus/Tapus gathering at Altar of the Sunne. Battle scene between Gladio & Lilie and Totem Kommo-o & it’s pre-evolutions.

SM052 - Kapus start their ritual with Nebby after Satoshi and others bring up the case of Lusamine being taken away by Ultra Beast. Nebby evolves to Solgaleo. Satoshi’s Z-Ring evolves to Z-Power Ring thanks Kapus. Kukui goes save Burnet from Jangmo-o and Hakamo-o. Alola Squad makes it into the Ultra Hole thanks to Satoshi doing Solganium-Z move.

SM053 - Kids make it to Ultra Space, Nihilego’s home. Lusamine is shown being fused with Nihilego, and is acting like a toddler who doesn’t want to have her toy taken away. Kids make chase, each leaving behind to deal with Lusamine’s mindcontrolled pokemon. Kaki fights Salazzle, uses Z-move. Mao, Mamane & Suiren battle Lilligant, Mismagius & Milotic. Gladio battles Absol. Lilie battles Clefable. Lilie manages to get Clefable out of mindcontrol. Satoshi heads to Lusamine. Episode ends before he makes it.

SM054 - Satoshi makes it to Lusamine, other kids defeat their battles using Z-moves, only for them to get revived. Gladio and Lilie head to Lusamine. Lusamine keeps trying to escape. Lilie has a speech with Lusamine. Lusamine starts waking up, only to be completely consumed by Nihilego. Satoshi uses 10 000 000 Volts Z-move. Motherbeast is defeated. Everyone heads home. Solgaleo appears to be gone right after Ultra Hole disappears.

SM055 - Epilogue for the Arc. Kukui and Burnet get married, Satoshi & others arrange a suprise wedding party for the two. Sauboh apologizes for his actions, Alola Squad kids are appointed as Ultra Guardians. Solgaleo disappeared not long after Lilie’s family left Altar of the Sunne, but showed up during the wedding party for a quick goodbye scene. Hints on new arc involving Poipole and possibly Ultra Recon Squad on that matter.

Post Author’s notes:

- While Rocket Gang didn’t have any important role in the plot, them knowing the Aether Paradise inside out will no doubt be useful on any possible future arc.

- Background music usage in this arc is absolutely stunning and beautiful. Best OST I’ve heard in Pokeani.

- While I had hoped for this arc to last longer than it has, I’m quite satisfied with what we got. Pacing seems quite fine when watching the episodes back-to-back, thou it probably could have used some more episodes to have bit better pacing. I’m not the best person to analyze this, I don’t understand that much about pacing.

- Dusk Lycanroc’s anger issue will most likely be explored later on.
