I am so hyped!

My favorite pokeboys are going to fight as a team!!

I was hoping that Gladion and Hau will interact more, and it might happen next week!

Btw, what does the Pokémon world have against finals???

Kalos league finals ends in Flare Gang attack.

Alola League finals ends in Guzzlord/Akuziking invasion.

And now, World Championship finals end with G-max Drednaw/Kajirigame rampaging and destroying the dome.

Dude this world does NOT like finals lol

A quick thought about the meaning of Guzzlord’s appearances.

Last night just as I was about to go to bed, I realised I understood something wrong about Ultra Ruins episodes: The Guzzlord in Ultra Ruins didn’t actually appear because of the pollution, destruction of nature, and all that stuff. Now that we’ve seen SM140, I think Guzzlord’s arrival was just inevitable fate, just like other UBs appearing, and the destruction of Melemele in Ultra Ruins was due to people not caring for the nature and letting Kapu Kokeko lose faith on humanity and leave them. Thus, no one being there to help with defeating Guzzlord. Thus, Guzzlord creating such destruction.

This time in our Alola, everyone’s prepared for the day Guzzlord might arrive, Satoshi having informed everyone at Aether Foundation about what he experienced and what to do to prepare, and unlike back in Ultra Ruins, everyone still had Z-moves to use here, and Kapu hadn’t abandoned the folks for their disrespect on the nature and sharing life together. That’s the difference.

In Satoshi’s Alola, everyone loves the nature, and everyone’s sharing their lives to live together. Even Bourgain actually never went as far as polluting, thou I do think it’s a missed opportunity. In Dia’s world, people stopped respecting the nature and drove away the respect from Kapu, and didn’t live together as one with the nature. And that is why Ultra Ruins world was how it was. And It kinda feels like a message to us as well...

Might expand on this later after work, or not, depends if I have more to say. It’s just some thoughts I started thinking about.

Ofc we could just think that Ash/Satoshi winning the league was such a big disrupt in the order of nature that it caused three Guzzlord to wreck havoc

I wonder how the people who called SM100 and SM101 filler episodes feel about that claim now.

I never believed that btw, ever since those episodes I knew that they’d come back to the series in some way, in a final crisis arc, in a moment that needs Satoshi to fullfill his promise to Dia: ‘Take care of your Alola!‘

God I swear I’ve had too good of a faith in this series, it’s scary. I wonder how much will end up being destroyed after this crisis, or whether most damage will be prevented. Let’s hope so!
