AG174: Harley and Team Rocket! The formation of the villains alliance! Speculation!

[CyberCubed]

Woo, that was a long title, almost didn't get to fit it all in! No the preview is not up yet, I just posted this now to get your hopes up for this highly anticipated episode. It should be up within an hour or two though.

This episode is the first part of a two-part appearance by Harley that will lead in to the May Vs. Jessie Contest following.

Let's go!

 

[Michael Lewis]

Hopefully this episode will be a great one and will have some great battle to show up in the contest.

 

[.Bambi.]

And getting my hopes up you did D:
Seriously, as soon as I saw the title to this Thread, I opened a new window, searched through my favourites and went to the TV Tokyo site.

Anywhays, on the episode itself. Everyone is talking about Harley joining Team Rocket and such for the episode, when I don't think that'll be the case. Note the title say "Formation of the Villain Alliance". Alliance people. Something Harley will most likely screw up in the end. Though knowing that little Election lover, he planned such things.

Ah good. That's one person I screwed over, I'm hoping I get some more before the TVTokyo people finally put the preview up. (Why in the world do they wait so late to put up the previews of the most anticipated episodes?)

 

[jolteonjak]

Got me too...I thought I had missed the preview being up. hehe

 

[Alopec]

I was just about to check the TVTokyo website, luckily I decided to actually read the thread first. XP Uhg, the wait seems so long...

Anyway, I also doubt that Harley will actually join Team Rocket. It sounds more like he's just helping out Jessie somehow, so she'll beat May, and prevent her from winning her fifth ribbon and entering the Grand Festival. I also have a feeling that Harley already has all five ribbons, and that he won't be entering the contest for that reason. Or has that already been stated? I remember reading a summary somewhere, but it wasn't the best translation.

 

[Judai Yuki]

Maybe he already has 5...

 

[Flamez]

Still waiting for the preview, really dont know what to say or what to expect.
So far im still going to say what i said a while back, and that was about harley letting jessie use one of his pokemon hopefully banette or cacturne if that happens. That would be very interesting to see IMO. O well lets see what the preview shows and then back to speculating.

 

[CyberCubed]

It is likely that he has all 5 ribbons, and is teaming up with Jessie so she can prevent May from getting her 5th ribbon, thus missing her chance to get into the GF.

I love the fact that Harley is still scheming revenge on May, even though he's already beaten her. To purposely team up with Team Rocket to stop May from entering the Grand Festival is the dirtiest thing he's ever done, and I love it!

Thank god Harley isn't going to turn into some goody two-shoes, unlike what Gary and Drew turned into as time went on.

 

[Alopec]

I sure hope he doesn't ever turn into a goody two-shoes, that would be awful. But that would never really work for Harley in the first place, would it? I mean, even if he did start acting nice to May, everyone would assume he was faking it again.

As for the ribbons: didn't Harley already have four of them last time we saw him? If that's the case, I think everything points to him having all five by now, but I guess we'll have to wait for the preview to be sure. It's nice to seee how he's really stepping up as a rival. I really hope this won't be his last season...

 

[JazzJazz]

It is likely that he has all 5 ribbons, and is teaming up with Jessie so she can prevent May from getting her 5th ribbon, thus missing her chance to get into the GF.

This obviously means that May will end up getting her fifth ribbon, I doubt we'd end up seeing the bad guys pull off such a nasty victory.

 

[CyberCubed]

Well of course, May winning the Contest in the next episode is a given, but Harley must give Jessie some extra pointers in her coordinator skills to get to the final round and put up more of a fight than usual.

Really, the interaction between Harley and Jessie should be gold.

 

[Judai Yuki]

I wonder how James would react.Oh oh oh Manene imitating Harley!

 

[S.Suikun]

No the preview is not up yet, I just posted this now to get your hopes up for this highly anticipated episode

...Hate...

I wonder how James would react.Oh oh oh Manene imitating Harley!

*envisions Manene waving *** in front of camera*

Obviously this contest is going to be rigged in Jessie's favor somehow. She's never before made it past Round 1 of the battles.

 

[Fizban]

She's never before made it past Round 1 of the battles.

Well, she did make it to the second round of battles in the contest with Kelly. Chimecho won in a fight against a Loudred (sweet revenge).

I hope Harley's help will be in the form of forching Jessie and James to dress up in Cacturne outfits. She certainly doesn't need any help when it comes to the appeal stage.

This gets my vote for "Best Preview Clip Image ever".

But in any case, it signifies that the Contest will be starting in this episode. Meaning that they'll be getting appeals out of the way early. Which in turn, means the next episode will be dedicated to the battling portion of the contest alone. And to add to that, it's scheduled to be produced by one of the better animation directors.
Hooray!

 

[vaporeon89]

Gravy, where did you get the picture, the preview isn't up yet, no??


;134;89

 

[CyberCubed]

Ugh, those TVTokyo people are late with this one. I don't want to have to go through the trouble of watching the new ep just to see a 30 second preview. :/

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

Preview pics on PPN, anyway Jessie has her Pink Dress outfit with Butterfly glasses, Meowth is dressed Japanese like and dancing (An appeal? Maybe it will be the Pokemon Kazouta song?), Jessie and Harley are like holding each others hands, and Harley is seen with a communicator, most likely talking to Jess secretly.

EDIT: It also appears Jessie might use Cacturne to battle. And Combushken is being leviated, probably by some Psychic Pokemon owned by another coordinator.

 

[Corazón]

The preview is up now. Seems that Harley lets Musash use hs Nokutasu. They hold hands... Harley isn't participating but is helping Musashi win against Haruka.. Most likely; Haruka is going to win...
