Quinton's Animation Extravaganza 673
0673
Rocket Meeting No. 31
I was enjoying my day with Miyako, Fluttershy and Quinton Jr. I wondered what Team Rocket had accomplished since I last saw them, so I decided to schedule a meeting. We all met at our usual spot in the basement of the Game Corner in Celadon City. I opened the meeting by telling my followers about meeting the founders of Team Aqua and Team Magma, whose goals were to protect nature on sea and on land, respectively. I told my followers to show their support to Team Aqua and Team Magma because their goals were very helpful for the environment. Musashi and Kojiro were still waiting on Poita’s Fantasia project, so I decided to check on it quarterly. Yamato and Kosaburo had found out that a series of anime films were edited for the Japanese Blu-ray release. I was aware of this, but thankfully, they still kept them unaltered on Amazon Japan. One of my other followers had pointed out that certain episodes of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 had cover songs that were removed from the current DVD release. Luckily, somebody on YouTube had those songs restored. The rest of the meeting went well and I enjoyed listening to what my followers had to say. For the rest of the day, my friends and I kept an eye out for whenever Deathdark’s next monster attacked.

Devildom's Spooks and Scares (Obey Me!)
For my wife @sevensins-stuff because we both share the same fear 😌💕💖💞💖💕💞
*This fic contains her mc Aqua and my mc Musashi. Both of their pronouns are she/her, so read at your own discretion!*
(And can someone show me how to do the "read more" option because I for the life of me have no idea how to do it and this post is LONG)
-------------------------------------------------
Lucifer placed a hand on Musashi's shoulder, looking at her out of the corner of his eye. "Are you ready?"
Musashi glanced up at him before sweeping her gaze over the other brothers, Barbatos holding the way to the other side open. This would mark the first time they were going to visit Aqua's universe, and needless to say they were all looking forward to being with her and the brothers' counterparts again.
She smiled. "Of course I am!"
She was stoked to finally talk to Aqua in person rather than over text all the time. A few weeks had passed since their fateful encounter, and it was a hassle to see when their schedules lined up so they could go visit.
The eldest brother removed his hand with a small smile of his own, nodding towards the open door. There was a myriad of colors swirling in its maw, but they all had confidence that it would lead them to the right place.
"Then let's go."
Once they landed on the other side, they looked up at the House of Lamentation. Much like when they met Aqua's group, they were situated near the front door.
"Well, what're we waiting for?!" Mammon said, marching up and (to his credit) knocking on the door.
He only got two knocks in before the door swung open, Aqua's wide smile being the first thing to greet them.
"You're here!!"
Musashi brightened at her appearance, taking a running start and tackling her into a hug. "Aqua!!"
Aqua stumbled back from the force of her hug, laughing at her energy as, this time, she didn't hesitate to hug back. "Long time no see, Musashi!"
Musashi's version of the demon brothers entered from behind, most looking on in amusement at the two humans before seeking their respective counterpart. It was surreal that they were all gathered again (and in such short time to boot), and quickly the House of Lamentation filled with laughter and shrieks (courtesy of the Levis, who found out that they had enough power to defeat a difficult boss level in one of their games).
"How have you been?!" Musashi asked Aqua excitedly, releasing her from the hug.
The taller human smiled at her energy, giving her a pat on the head. "Oh, you know...about as well as a human can do in a house full of demons."
Musashi laughed as Aqua's face scrunched up, the latter no doubt thinking about something one (or more) of the brothers had done recently. "That bad, huh?"
"...You could say..." Aqua answered cryptically, which caused Musashi to burst out laughing again.
She wiped a stray tear from her eye, giving Aqua a side hug. "I've missed you."
The way Aqua's eyes twinkled let her know that she felt the same. "I need a sane person in my life right now."
Musashi linked their arms together. "Unfortunately, I don't think either of us are "sane" either, but hey; at least we're staying the night!"
Aqua's answering laugh warmed her heart, and the two retreated to her room to catch up. They found that it was indeed Solomom who had brought them back, and even shared their similarities with the Golden Hellfire Newt Syrup Fiasco.
"Did you kiss Lucifer?" Musashi teased, lightly pushing Aqua's arm. She was privy to all the late night conversations about how her own Lucifer was hot, and how Musashi's Lucifer was subjected to her endless teasing due to his height. Musashi found it incredibly endearing and cute, so sometimes she asked her own Lucifer what he thought about Aqua.
Lucifer's brows furrowed, a scowl setting on his face as he stared into the distance. "There is nothing to talk about," he'd say, but Musashi knew better as she saw a tiny of red to his cheeks.
"Mm-hm, okay. Thanks Lucifer!"
"What does that mea- hey, no running in the halls!"
Judging by the light flush on Aqua's cheeks, she had hit the nail right on the head. "Don't ask questions you already know the answer to, goofball."
Musashi grinned, proceeding to make kissy noises like a five year-old to further embarrass her friend. "Aqua and Lucifer, sittin' in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N- "
Aqua pushed her shoulder, her body shaking with laughter. "Shut up you dork! How about you and a certain white-haired demon, hmm?"
Musashi's mouth clamped shut, red spilling onto her cheeks. She forgot that she in turn told her about her (hopeless) crush on Mammon one fateful night, her sleep-deprived brain turning wax poetic as she gushed about his eyes or the rare, bright smiles he sent her way.
She averted her gaze, sweat rolling down her cheek. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Aqua's smirk was piercing. "Did you two kiss, or no?"
Musashi buried her face into her hands, letting out a noise of embarrassment. "I-I could never, you know that! I'd just be taking advantage of him...I hugged him instead."
She didn't mention how warm and soft Mammon's hug was, nor how she practically melted into his hold as she hugged him back just as tightly. She also didn't mention how she couldn't muster up the courage to even ask him for another hug, but the amusement in Aqua's eyes let her know that she was in the process of coming to that conclusion.
She opened her mouth to tease some more, but a brief knock on the door followed by Satan's head poking in interrupted her.
"Dinner's ready, you two." The blonde said in an amused tone. A shorter Satan also peeked into the room, gesturing for them to get up.
"Hurry and grab your plates before the Beels eat it all."
Aqua and Musashi shared a glance before they were running out of the room, the Satans barely having time to get out of the way.
"Last one there's a rotten egg!"
"Wh- hey, you've got longer legs than me!"
-------------------------------------------------
Dinner was, as always, loud but peaceful. There was more of a surplus of food than usual due to there being two Beels, the Belphies sliding some food onto their plates whenever they caught them looking at someone else's food (read: the Levis'). It got a little hectic once both Lucifers reached for the same piece of food, their staring contest masking the clash of wills that Musashi could've sworn caused electricity to spark between them.
"Hm? Mammon, what's that?"
Asmo's questioning voice had them turning to the demon in question, who was polishing a bottle as Musashi's Mammon looked on with intense focus. He pointed out if the other missed a spot, and Musashi marvelled at how efficient their team up already was. Isn't this only the second time they met in person?
"I bought this at a shop not too long ago, and I plan on sellin' it for a higher price on Akuzon." He explained, wiping the cloth over the smooth surface of the object. "I jus' gotta polish it a bit, is all."
Aqua's Satan hummed, eyeing the vase with a troubled look. "Where have I seen that case before...?"
"Ah! Gotta clean the inside, too." Aqua's Mammon murmured, faltering once his hands reached the cork. "Why the hell's this on there?"
Aqua's face shifted into one of unease. "Hey, Mammon, maybe you shouldn't - "
"Too late!" He cackled, pulling it off in one go. The lights flashed as seven apparitions flew out of the vase, their chilling laughter shaking Musashi to her core.
Aqua's Satan sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Now I remember. That case is home to seven particularly pesky poltergeists. Luckily, we should be able to reseal them again using the vase."
Musashi tensed. Poltergeists...as in ghosts?
She couldn't handle ghosts.
"Haha, that's funny Satan." Aqua's laugh fell short as she rubbed her arms, glancing around the room. Musashi scooted her chair closer to offer her a bit of comfort despite being scared as well.
The taller Satan frowned. "I didn't make a joke?"
Musashi's Lucifer sent a glare at the Mammons, who were already tense enough as it was. "And now they're roaming the House."
The other Lucifer sighed. "In any case, they don't pose a threat. All they pull are small pranks."
"Wh- we're just leavin' em?!" Musashi's Mammon yelped, Aqua's Mammon shifting from foot to foot as he eyed the ceiling warily. Musashi's heart went out to them both; everyone knew about Mammon's fear of ghosts and things that went bump in the night, and they were always teased about it.
"Why not?" Aqua's Asmo shrugged, a smile on his face. Musashi marvelled at how calm he was being; then again, her mind was running at 150 miles per hour and double-checking every corner covered in shadow. "I think they're cute, pulling harmless little pranks. Don't you agree, Aqua?"
Aqua had yet to loosen up, her back straight as she replied in a cautious tone. "Yeah...cute."
Asmo's eyes widened, an amused smile spreading across his face as he connected the dots. "Why, are you - "
Levi stood up from the dining table, the shorter Levi following in tandem. "Well, we're gonna go game. See ya."
Both Belphies stood up as well. "Going to bed sounds nice right about now, so we're leaving. Beel, are you coming?"
The Beels stopped sneaking food from Asmo's plate, nodding. "Yeah. Goodnight, everyone."
One by one (or in this case, two by two), they all dispersed until only the humans and the Lucifers were left.
Aqua's Lucifer nodded at them both. "We'll be retiring to my-...our room as well. Is there anything you'd like to say?"
Musashi felt like laughing, hysteria building in her throat. How was anyone (save for the Mammons and Aqua, who was turning paler by the second) calm about this? Have they not watched The Conjouring? Insidious?
The Exorcist??
"Nope!" She said, voice strained, "All good here! Everything is good in this hood! Happy hunky dory!"
Now both Lucifers were looking at her strangely. Aqua's forced laugh turned their confused gazes to her, the taller human pulling Musashi away.
"Don't mind her, she's just tired. We're gonna go to sleep now too so BYE!!"
Once they made it to Aqua's room, Musashi closed the door behind her and slumped to the floor.
"So...ghosts."
Aqua flopped against her bed, a stressed sigh escaping her that seemed to stem from her very soul.
"...Ghosts."
Musashi worked her way over, resting her back against the bed. "How screwed are we on a scale of one to ten?"
Aqua shifted, turning to face her. Her expression was apprehensive, and she ran her hand through her hair as her brows furrowed. "Try a twenty."
Musashi fiddled with her hands. "...I guess we sleep it off, somehow?"
Aqua's voice came out dry, her humor tumbling straight to the floor. "Ah yes, sleep off the fact that we're going to be experiencing Paranormal Activity in real life."
Musashi was really hoping she wouldn't phrase it like that, but she was right.
There was one thing left to do in a situation like this. It was a fail safe they had come up with over text: Contingency Plan P on Page 117 of their book What To Do In The Event Of A Paranormal Experience.
It was one of the most powerful weapons they had at their disposal, and it worked 98% of the time: It was the foolproof -
"Blanket fort?"
For the first time since Mammon opened the vase, Aqua smiled.
"Blanket fort."
-------------------------------------------------
They didn't mean to fall asleep.
One minute they were talking, and the next thing Musashi knew was that she was being shaken awake by a very distressed individual. She tensed under the touch, the thought of the ghosts had breached their impenetrable blanket wall and were coming to steal their souls and possess them being the only one that ran through her mind as the shaking got rougher. Her fear was made worse by the fact that she didn't have her glasses on, making the world around her out of focus and leaving her mind to fill in the blanks with its imagination.
Her fight or flight instincts kicked in, and the flight won over as she shied away with a primal startled cry. "Aqua!"
She was relieved to see that Aqua was alright, her blurry figure rising up almost immediately as she punched the form closest to her purely on reflex.
A familiar, brash yelp of pain shook them back to their senses. "Ow! Whaddya have to do that for, huh?!"
Aqua's surprised voice answered. "Mammon? What are you doing in here, so late at night?"
Musashi couldn't really see, but Aqua's Mammon suddenly retreated, bashful. "...What if I just wanted to visit ya? I am your first man, after all!"
Aqua leveled him with a stare. "...Uh-huh."
Her Mammon scowled. "Alright, alright, stop givin' me that look! We were sleepin' and out of nowhere, my radio started playing this horrible sound. Ya gotta come see this, 'cause no one else will believe us!"
A hand touched Musashi' shoulder, and she involuntarily flinched. Her Mammon immediately backed away, raising his hands in defense.
"Woah, chill! It's just me, Musashi!"
Musashi forced herself to relax, groping for her glasses. Where were they...? "Yeah...Yeah. I'm sorry for scaring you, Mammon."
He scoffed, crossing his arms. It was too dark for her to see, but there was a blush on his face as he averted his gaze. "The Great Mammon doesn't get scared, ya hear?! And here; you lookin' for this?"
She felt him gently slide her glasses onto her face, causing her to blink as his face became clearer.
She smiled awkwardly, red creeping onto her cheeks. "Thank you."
He leaned back on his heels, tripping over his words. "Y-Yeah, whatever...it was nothin'."
Musashi could practically feel Aqua's amused stare as the other human got to her feet.
"Save it for later, you two. We have to check out the noise."
Musashi made a mental note to get back at her whenever they encountered Lucifer next as she scowled at her. Just wait until Lucifer comes into play. Then, it's no mercy from me.
"C'mon already!" The taller Mammon urged, grabbing an already hesitant Aqua's arm. Musashi could tell that she was trying to put on a brave face for the Mammons, and brushed shoulders with her both to comfort her and herself.
"Cheer up, Aqua! What's the worst that could happen?"
-------------------------------------------------
"OKAY. A LOT OF THINGS. A LOT OF BAD THINGS CAN HAPPEN."
"Less talking, more running!" Aqua snapped at her, the two turning a corner just in time to hear a plate crash where their heads used to be mere moments ago.
The poltergeist chasing them snickered, a hollow sound that was reminiscent to the wheeze of a dying animal. It had popped out of Mammon's stereo and set its sights on the two humans, collecting every object it could levitate and throwing it at them. Musashi could see that Aqua was getting annoyed the longer they ran, but the fear was still on her face as they bobbed and weaved.
The ghost let out a haunting wail. "OooooOoOOHhHH!!"
"Oh fuck off, you Boo Berry looking see through dumpy son of a - " Aqua was cut off as she ran into a solid chest, letting out a small oomph in surprise.
Musashi could've weeped tears of joy upon seeing the two disgruntled Lucifers, clad in pajamas and their hair tousled. Musashi may not be attracted to them, but even she had to admit that they looked hot in casual wear. (Aqua's blush as her eyes widened confirmed that yes, she did in fact agree with her.) "And what exactly are you two doing, running around the House of Lamentation like madmen?"
Aqua backed up immediately, trying for a smirk that unfortunately fell short in the wake of her fear. "Can't we just enjoy a casual run through the house at night?"
Musashi's Lucifer pinched the bridge of his nose. She saw him count to ten slowly, trying his damndest to reign in his irritation. "Which is exactly the problem: at night."
Aqua looked around her Lucifer at him. "Ah, sorry about that Luci...I didn't see you there."
The shorter Lucifer tensed as Aqua's raised his eyebrow, giving them both a look of amusement. "As much as I would like to see this play out," the taller one said with some humor seeping into his voice, placing steadying hands on Aqua's shoulders, "That still doesn't answer my question. What is the real reason for this?"
He didn't need to wait for an answer. The poltergeist rounded the corner, hurtling a lamp towards them with an unholy shriek.
Musashi's eyes widened as she saw the path the lamp was taking. "Aqua, look ou- !"
- But Aqua was pulled into her Lucifer's hold, the eldest brother wrapping a protective arm around her as he caught the offending object with ease.
Annoyance seeped into his tone. "...It seems I don't need to look further. You have the vase on you still, yes?"
The other Lucifer stepped forward, vase in hand as he directed the opening at the apparition. There was a scowl of his own on his face, irritation seeping into his frame the longer he looked at the ghost. "It's a good thing I hadn't dropped it off after taking care of the one in our room. Let's take care of this nuisance."
"OooOoOoohhhhH..." The ghost let out a guttural moan as it was sucked back into the vase, the floating objects trailing behind it dropping to the floor with a thud before silence returned to the hallway.
Musashi gaped. "Wh...How did you do that?! That was so cool!"
Her Lucifer preened at the compliment, a small smirk on his face as he set down the vase. "It wasn't too hard; remember, Satan had mentioned earlier that all you need to do is point the vase at them and they immediately return to it."
"So it's like Ghostbusters? That makes it a little bit less horrific!"
He regarded her with another look, Musashi realizing too late what she said. "Are you saying that you were scared of a little poltergeist, Musashi?"
Musashi didn't usually throw her friends under the bus, but she didn't want to be the only one suffering under Lucifer's judging yet amused gaze. "W-Well, I'm not the only one!"
"Musashi!" Aqua hissed at her, no doubt remembering her betrayal for a later date.
Musashi looked around frantically in response, the weight of Aqua's glare growing heavier by the second. "Well would you look at the time, it seems like Beel found one in the kitchen! Let's go, Lucifer! Ghostbusting awaits!"
She tugged on his arm, and he barely managed to secure the vase in their grasp before they were off.
...
It seemed like it was just Aqua and Lucifer in the hallway, now.
Aqua's Lucifer looked down at her, a teasing lilt to his voice as a smirk adorned his features. "Afraid ghosts, are you? I never expected you to be the type."
Aqua scowled, red blossoming on her cheeks as she refused to look at him. "It's not like I wanted you to know about it. I can't help what I'm scared of."
She was too busy looking away to notice how his expression softened at her words, only startling when his hand reached up to brush a lock of hair out of her face.
He leaned in, his breath brushing against her cheek as he whispered in her ear. "I'm merely insinuating that you can get behind me if you are scared."
Oh, he was playing dirty and he knew it. Aqua lightly swatted his arm, her scowl gone as she raised the back of her hand to her mouth in an attempt to cover it. She didn't exactly trust the facial expression she was making right now, and most of all she didn't want her Lucifer to see it. "Asshole."
The insult fell flat due to her shaky voice. A chuckle escaped him as he rested his head against hers, hands moving to brace himself on her shoulders as his lips twitched upwards in poorly concealed mirth.
"I don't hear a no from you."
Aqua snorted, a soft smile forming on her own face as she drank in the sight of a laughing Lucifer. It seemed that he was loosening up more and more around her as of late, and this was an expression she wanted to commit to memory.
"Alright Lucifer, I'll humor you. I'm counting on you protect me from all of the remaining poltergeists in here."
The gentle smile he sent her way nearly made her heart stop.
"I wouldn't dream of anything else."
-------------------------------------------------
"Well, I guess this is it. Again."
Musashi said jovially as she stepped up to Aqua, a bright grin on her face. With the vase in their possession, it hadn't been long before all seven spirits were rounded up and properly sealed inside once more.
To be honest, the highlight of the entire adrenaline-filled night was when they all crashed in the living room, making a blanket for on the floor (per Musashi's and Aqua's request) and falling asleep together.
...At least, it was either that moment or the one where Aqua and her Lucifer had trailed into the kitchen to check up on them shortly after sealing the first ghost, the eldest demon holding her hand in reassurance as she looked like she was going to drop from sheer embarrassment.
"Say nothing," Aqua merely stated the second Musashi opened her mouth with a mischievous twinkle in her mocha orbs, narrowing her eyes at her. "You have no room to talk."
(She really didn't, not with how she had grasped Mammon's hand after a particularly bad scare later on in the night and gave it a squeeze. She couldn't help it; it was a reflex she didn't know she had, and she nearly combusted once he squeezed back.)
"I'll be visiting you next time," Aqua said with a smile, holding her arms out wide.
Musashi sprang into her arms, wrapping her own around the taller woman's waist. She looked up at her, a grin on her face as she heard Aqua laugh at her actions. "Hopefully soon?"
A nod. "Of course! We need to have movie night at your place, remember?"
They reluctantly let go once Musashi's Lucifer called her over, the brothers having already said their goodbyes. She turned to leave, then stopped and threw a heartfelt smile over her shoulder.
"Despite my soul wanting to leave my body on multiple occasions, I had fun this time, too."
Aqua's smile widened as she raised her hand in a wave. "Don't be a stranger!"
Musashi waved back, and before she knew it she was back home.
"I'm going to go sleep off that entire experience," Belphie groaned, dragging his feet towards the entrance of the House of Lamentation.
Satan smiled, glancing behind him at where the portal used to be. "Overall, it was a rather...thrilling experience."
Now it was Asmo's turn to groan, throwing his hands up as he followed the blonde through the door. "Ugh, who let you near the pun books again?"
Levi tapped away at his D.D.D., no doubt texting his counterpart. "This wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Mammon."
Mammon let out a noise of offense. "What makes ya say that? Oi! Where d'ya think you're going, Levi?!"
Lucifer walked after the two, no doubt going to wring out the location of the vase from Mammon so something similar doesn't happen in their timeline.
Beel also made to go inside, but stopped and turned to her. "Musashi, are you coming? I want to try the homemade brownies you promised to bake once we came back."
"Hm? Oh!" Musashi startled, glancing down at her D.D.D. before pocketing it. "I'm sorry for the wait, Beel! Let's get baking!"
The device showed one sent message to Aqua before it shut off on its own.
Did you kiss Lucifer in the hallway too on top of him practically manhandling you to safety?

Pokemon Anime - Continuity references in Sun & Moon
Horrible title is horrible.
Ever since Sun & Moon started airing, the fandom seems to have been divided on believing whether or not Sun & Moon is a reboot of the series or not. Well mates, I’ve come to make this post to bring up all the points that point towards continuity, and also try debunking the points that would point for a reboot!
And with that, let us begin! (Since this post is freaking long, I’ll put a cut here.)
Cases that support continuity
1. Ash/Satoshi returns his Kalos pokemon at the start of the show to Oak/Okido’s lab!
Honestly, we don’t know if it’s his Kalos pokemon, and the number of 5 pokeballs doesn’t match. If it were his Kalos pokemon, he’d have 4 pokeballs since Numelgo/Goodra was left in Kalos. Gekkouga/Greninja’s ball would also possibly not be shown here since it was left in Kalos as well, thou I’d argue that to be only temporary. Although, some people do like to believe that Ash/Satoshi is the kind of trainer that’d keep his pokeballs of released pokemon as sort of a memory, so I guess that’d make sense in this case. However, this isn’t such a great evidence on continuity.
2. Ash/Satoshi mentions his Tauros in EP1!
Straight up reference to his Tauros group that he caught during his Kanto adventures. Sadly it’s the banned episode so not every fan might know this. But this is a very strong evidence on continuity.
3. Ash/Satoshi knows Flabebe!
In Sun & Moon EP6, Ash/Satoshi mishears Rotom’s word Flámbe as Flabebe. Flabebe is a Kalos native pokemon, and so far hasn’t appeared in any other region even in games, so this would definitely support the continuity!
4. Sonansu/Wobbuffet exists!
Surely it could be argued that Jessie/Musashi might have got it differently, but its existance is pretty much what supports continuity. IF we go with the reboot theory that suggests Ash/Satoshi only having been to Kanto’s few towns. Sonansu/Wobbuffet was got by Jessie/Musashi during the Johto Saga after all.
5. Ash/Satoshi seems to know about Mega Evolutions!
In the latest episode of Sun & Moon, EP33, Lana/Suiren teases Ash/Satoshi by saying that she’s gonna go fish up a Mega Gyarodos (At least it’s how I understood the case). Ash/Satoshi doesn’t ask what that is, but instead says he didn’t know you can fish up something like that. (Alas, you can’t, Lana/Suiren trolled him here <3) This would suggest that Ash/Satoshi has indeed been to Kalos, since Mega Evolutions debuted there. Although, it could be argued that Mega Evolutions would exist in Kanto as well in supposed new timeline, but I don’t really see that as a possibility. Then again, it’s just me.
6. Ash/Satoshi knows the move Aqua Jet!
Once again in the newest episode of Sun & Moon, EP33, Popplio learns a new move, Aqua Jet. Ash/Satoshi immidiately recognises the move! Aqua Jet is a move that debuted in 4th generation, and from his previously owned pokemon, only Buysel and Oshwatt know this move. Of course it could be argued that some Kanto pokemon he’s encountered before might have known this move in new timeline, but again, I don’t find that claim so good. This for me is strong evidence on continuity.
Now, these are the continuity references I could think of right of the pat. Now let’s start debunking some cases that people take as a sign of reboot.
Cases that would apparently support reboot
1. Ash/Satoshi acts and sounds more like a child in Sun & Moon than in XY(&Z), it must be a reboot!
This is something I constantly see as an excuse for stating Sun & Moon to be a reboot. Honestly, it’s not a very strong excuse and I could give out many reasons for Ash/Satoshi to act like he is in Alola. First, Alola’s a vacation resort, people tend to go there to relax. Second, at the moment the series is very lighthearted and nothing serious has been going on, so there’s no reason for Ash/Satoshi to not live like the 10+ year old kid he is! Kalos on the other hand had lots of serious stuff going on. Although he was sort of a kid there too at times.
This exact same argument was apparently used when Best Wishes! aired as well, and that reboot theory turned out to be bollocks (2nd season was filled with continuity, and apparently so was first episode. I always miss this reference :D)
Also! Even if there hasn’t been that many fights in Sun & Moon at this point, the fights that have been shown to it’s fullest have shown that Ash/Satoshi is still very skillful strategist, like he was in XY(&Z). Best examples I’d say at the moment are the trials in Melemele Island.
2. Ash/Satoshi forgot about Nurse Joys being the same again! It must be a reboot!!
Oh boy. This is something I actually understand people using as an excuse, but, I’ve come up with an explanation that can be used to debunk this. Be prepared, this section is long!
First of all, let’s take a look at the looks that Nurse Joy has.
Nurse Joy looked the same throughout the journey from Kanto to Sinnoh. Satoshi had no reason to think that Nurse Joy would have different rules in these regions.
In Hoenn, it was May/Haruka who questioned this. (Then Brock/Takeshi goes on telling about the little details that differinate all Joys from each other.)
In Sinnoh it was Dawn/Hikari. However...
Nurse Joy got it’s first official redesign in Unova. It’s also where Ash/Satoshi got confused about Nurse Joys again after a long time.
...wait a minute.
WAIT A MINUTE!
HE ACKNOWLEDGED IT! He did in the end realise that the same rule from before applies here too! Wow. Who said he didn’t recognize Nurse Joy “clone” thing in Best Wishes! in the first place?!
...moving on!
Nurse Joy received yet another redesign in Kalos. Sure, you guys must be thinking that wait, Ash/Satoshi wasn’t questioning this in XY, it was Serena, but just you wait:
Serena may have asked about it but see, Ash/Satoshi wasn’t certain here. I think this was also the first time Ash/Satoshi meets Joy in Kalos so Serena beat him on questioning this.
Now onto the case that is Sun & Moon:
Once again, Nurse Joy received yet another redesign in Alola. (My personal favourite design btw.) She hasn’t appeared much in Sun & Moon, but when the group moved onto the Akala Island in EP31, this happened:
I think that judging from those two previous cases we can say that whenever Ash/Satoshi reaches a new region, and Joy has a new design, he is not, I repeat, not certain that the same rules apply. So, I debunk this evidence for reboot theory as false!
(I’m so sorry this Nurse Joy section is so long. I just had a lot to say for this.)
3. XYZ didn’t end with the usual “Next time, a new beginning”, but instead it said “And to our own Way”. It must mean XYZ ended that timeline and Sun & Moon is a reboot!
I don’t know what to say to this claim. Maybe they just wanted to change the sentence to this one here instead. I don’t see it as a proof for XYZ ending it’s timeline in any way thou. I mean come on, they left his goal undone. That’d be horrible way to end a series. I highly believe in what I just stated before: they just wanted to use another sentence this time.
4. The anniversary episode EP20 didn’t mention any of the past adventures! Reboot!
Hmmmmmm. This is just a lousy evidence. Sorry. The episode focuses on the bond that Ash/Satoshi and Pikachu has and have had since the first day they met in Masara Town. It was also a good episode that showed that they CAN handle themselves with just the two of them.
Also, the series was just beginning at that point, newer viewers wouldn’t know what the heck he’s talking about if he had mentioned previous regions or friends. This show focuses on introducing the Alola region and it’s people at this point after all. I know how upset people were at this, and I get why, but I also understand from story point why it wasn’t relevantly needed.
And that’s it! This post is already freaking long so I think I’ll stop this here, since I can’t think of anything more at this point. If any of you can think of some more evidence for continuity, or want me to debunk another reboot theory evidence, fire away!
Hope you enjoyed reading this! Smiling Performer, aka Aleira, signing off!

Thoughts on Aqua x Musashi??🤔
@sevensins-stuff I stg Musashi will wife Aqua so fast -
I had to make some platonic and romantic headcanons for them 😌💕
Platonic HCs for Aqua x Musashi
They text each other. Every. Single. Day. Most of the time, it's about something one of the brothers did; other times (usually at night), it's about whatever crosses their minds.
This usually ends up in them staying up even on a school day, and their respective Lucifer is 100% not pleased to see them looking like the dead during breakfast.
Musashi can and will hug Aqua on sight, regardless of where they are. She tackles Aqua into a hug so often that Aqua can now tell the difference between a normal hug and a tackle-hug just by the thudthudthud of Musashi's feet.
Movie nights and anime nights happen so often that it's strange when they don't have one. When they have one in person, it doesn't matter what universe they're in; Levi, Mammon, and Beel will always join them. As a result, it usually gets hectic halfway through.
"WOOOOOAAAAHHHH!!! Did you guys see the way the protagonist fired off that shot?! They were like WHAM and BOOM and the explosions accented their frame so nicely...!"
"The best part's coming up, Levi!"
"For an anime that's supposed to be calm, there's a lotta blood and gore...are you sure ya picked Slice of Life?"
"Oh, we're out of snacks...I'll go grab some more."
Musashi will throw the strangest facts and ideas at Aqua that, usually, it takes a second to process it. Aqua responds so casually, like it's normal that they talk about stuff like this (which it is in the human world), and meanwhile the brothers are like "?? How are they talking about this with straight faces???"
"Aqua, guess what! Last night I had a dream that it was the apocalypse and I saw my neighbor get eaten by zombies and zombies freak me out but I was pretty calm as I took a baseball bat and beat my former neighbor's brains in before they could eat my dog!!"
"Oh, that reminds me of the dream I had where vampires were after my cat, who turned out to be a magical creature that's an overlord of the planet Nyanlantis. I had to get a priest's help in getting stakes that had to be blessed because apparently, the vampires just had to be stronger than normal."
(The brothers are both concerned for and terrified of them since they say it so casually. Humans are strange, unpredictable creatures.)
They are each other's wingwoman when it comes to relationship advice with the brothers (how to get their attention, what they like, what they dislike, how to let them know they like them). They're both scarily observant and intuitive, so 98% of the advice they give is accurate.
Romantic HCs
Everytime they see each other they go up and kiss the others cheek in greeting, which is followed closely by a "Hi there my beautiful/lovely wife!". They've been doing this ever since they became friends, and at first it was because they were extremely close in the first place (which made the brothers think that they were dating when they weren't at the time).
Their late-night talks over the phone are more personal, and if they're in person they will just lean against each other in comfortable silence. Musashi wraps them both in a blanket, and every brother has walked into the living room to see them sleeping against each other more than twice.
Their dates are more subdued, but still filled with a sense of adventure. Small cafes, picnics, walks in the park, stargazing, you name it; their most often dates are the movie nights they have together (mentioned above in Platonic HCs).
Aqua is scared of ghosts and will cling to either Levi, Lucifer, Satan, or Musashi. Musashi is also scared of ghosts, so she'll cling right back. They're the two who frantically build a pillow/blanket fort and crawl into it, flashlights on as they refuse to sleep a wink in fear of creatures that go bump in the night finding them (even though they live with demons).
(10/10 the Mammons join the fort because they're also afraid)
Musashi rarely lets anyone see her sketchbook, but she never hesitates to show Aqua her sketches and ideas. She loves talking to Aqua about writing prompts as well, and Simeon is often called over whenever they have a discussion.
Goofy dates happen often, as well. Amusement park rides? Laser tag? Paintball wars (okay, this one not as often)? Getting out and having fun is their #1 goal, and unfortunately the brothers from both universes tail them to make sure they stay safe (without their knowledge).
They joke-propose to each other all the time. When they do mean it, they end up proposing at the same time. Their rings are matching because purple is both their favorite color, so they somehow got the same exact ring for each other. (Musashi argues that she proposed first, because she was the one who led their usual discussion towards one about marriage. Aqua indulges her.)
And, of course, they comfort each other whenever the other is feeling insecure or low. Since their intuition and observation skills are high, they can tell right away when the other is feeling down.
