Betrayal.

#ep order: 65 / 75 / 83 / 87 / also 87 / 135 #spinel #pokemon spinel #gibeon #pokemon gibeon #other characters are there too but this is about highlighting gibeon and spinel's similar fears #while the bit from ep65 doesn't mention the word betrayal. i still included it because this was the first hint at gibeon's fear of betrayal #(and spinel clearly framed amethio's actions as “betrayal” in the ep anyway)#also that bit from ep 83 is kinda funny. why is rayquaza the bus driver all of a sudden #thinking about how lucius told gibeon in ep 87 that he didn't intend to betray him. but gibeon still took it that way #how betrayal/communication/connection go hand in hand..#how you can feel betrayed and misunderstood but the only way to avoid that is to keep reaching out and communicating #lucius regretting that he didn't try to talk more to gibeon in rakua #vs liko and amethio in ep 65.. there are things you'll never know if you don't talk to people etc #how spinel's attempt at framing amethio for betrayal led to communication/connection.. those three themes connecting #hz065 #hz075 #hz083 #hz087 #hz135 #character notes #episode notes

Acknowledgment.

#lucius and gibeon acknowledging each other and becoming friends #vs liko and amethio acknowledging each other while they were still adversaries #and currently having a relationship of mutual trust.. which lucius and gibeon had too #but it's slightly different than theirs #in both cases. a third party tells us about the fact one acknowledged the other (rystal / conia)#liko #liko and amethio #lucius #gibeon #hz075 #hz104 #character notes #episode notes

Happy one year anniversary to the broadcast of HZ075, etc.

IF Crave is Amethio's father, then he has to be an in-law relative to Gibeon, because Crave doesn't look like Gibeon at all. Not like Amethio does. So, I wonder if HZ075 will give us more answers relating to Gibeon's lineage. Because the RVT folks have a point, Gibeon is way too old to be just a grandpa of Amethio. Either he is great-great-grandpa like Lucius is to Liko, or something else is going on.

But I highly suspect that Lucius as well is alive in Rakua, probably also partly pink now lol. As it would seem Rakurium can cause eternal life, if we are to believe Gibeon to be the same Gibeon Lucius knew.

Looking more closely at the preview for HZ075, it appears that Rystal owned a copy of the Scarlet Book.

The characters speculated that Lucius must have read Heather's book back when they met Briar, so Rystal is probably the one who showed it to him.

For better or for worse, Spinel and Amethio really seem to know each other too well.

Spinel describing someone Amethio as someone "who doesn't know when to give up" when Agate told him that Amethio was probably acting independently. Spinel acknowledging Amethio's perseverance and resilience and still keeping an eye on him, as if he knew that Gibeon dismissing Amethio wouldn't be enough to crush his spirit completely and that Amethio would still find a way to keep going.

The whole thing with Spinel trapping Amethio in a cave with Liko was also another one of these cases of Spinel knowing Amethio too well, because he knew that there was no way Amethio wouldn't cooperate with Liko to get out of that predicament. Spinel using Amethio's nature against him because he knows the kind of person he is and that he wouldn't abandon someone who needs help. In turn, Amethio also seems acutely aware of Spinel's movements and keeps track of him specifically, which is something he doesn't seem to do with the other Explorers.

I wonder what's going on between the two of them.. Spinel said he wanted to be the one to go to Rakua with Gibeon. I wonder if his attachment to Gibeon is genuine, or if he has other plans. Sometimes, he comes off as wanting Gibeon to favor him over Amethio, like he wants to be the favorite child or something.

#really fascinated by amethio and spinel's continued dynamics #and how different yet similar they can be #like that one time friede noticed that both of them had the same reaction when he sent out a pikachu to fight them #they both felt underestimated etc #i love when characters who oppose each other acknowledge each other's traits (bad or good)#spinel acknowledging amethio can't give up. amethio being like “i know that guy is planning something. i don't know what but i know”#i wonder how long they've known each other or what spinel sees in gibeon #amethio #spinel #pokemon spinel #hz075 #character notes #episode notes

I really find Rystal's reaction to Gibeon interesting.. especially in contrast to Terapagos or Rayquaza's reaction to him.

Rystal doesn't seem to blame him specifically for what happened, while Terapagos and Rayquaza both got angry at Amethio on separate occasions due to his resemblance to Gibeon which indicates that they personally hold him responsible for what happened. It highlights that the Pokemon have their own feelings and thoughts which can be different from how humans feel. The Six Heroes and Terapagos feel loyalty towards Lucius and his memory above all, while Rystal has different feelings on the matter.

Even the way Rystal brought up Gibeon at the end when Friede asked her where Rakua is, and she thought that Gibeon might know.. and then added that she doesn't know what happened to him after the events at Rakua while looking sad. She thought that they could ask him and considers him as someone they could potentially rely on (the way both Lucius and her did in the past). And her words indicate that she still thought about Gibeon after everything and probably lived without knowing if he survived or not. Rystal lost a friend that day too, on top of losing Lucius, Terapagos and the Six Heroes.

Really, the whole framing of the scene at Rakua felt interesting to me. Lucius tried to reason Gibeon, Gibeon didn't want to listen but he didn't directly attack Lucius or Rystal for disagreeing with his ideas. He was much more focused on the potential of the Rakurium, and the wild Pokemon turned ferocious by the Rakurium were more of an indirect consequence of Gibeon's actions than his intent. Gibeon didn't even see Lucius sacrificing himself either, since he fell in a ravine before that. It adds to the abruptness of the tragedy, everything went by so fast and they didn't exactly have time to exchange more words or truly process what happened.
