so this time, when the rule of threes of someone falling during one of serena's performances performance nearly comes to pass, sylveon is able to keep her stable + save the performance's ending (a trainer's bond with pokémon & a difference in perspective picking up where another's abilities falter)... but then she also pays the price of a hurt wrist
I have a newish headcanon that “maybe” something happened between the end of XY113 (after “the glomp”) and XY114. Maybe they drank too much wine that night with dinner and got closer. IDK? In the beginning of XY114, Musashi is saying that getting a Mimirol will enhance her mature sex appeal even more, and Kojirou is like “is that so?” with a little giggle- suuure, he always dismisses her fantasies of beauty/grandeur, but sometimes it’s more like “sigh, she’s extremely delusional 🙂↕️🙄” and this time it potentially COULD be interpreted like, “oh, is that so? 😏🙂↔️” … I mostly say that because he *also* gives her that *look* for over 10 seconds of on-screen time, and he is mimicking her hand position from the first scene, which suggests he’s in tune with her in that moment.
and that's basically it for showcases forever. they still pale in comparison to contests but I am still glad to have watched them, in a sense, in order to understand the performances and etc better and to be able to compare and contrast them to contests more accurately.
it seems like an incredibly uphill battle to try and dethrone the defending queen... she's probably going to stay there until the day her popularity dies down.
English Dub made me love Clemont even more. He's so sweet and modest.
