Alola! The First Visitation Day!!

It's time for an open day at the Pokémon School and Ash gets chosen to hold a presentation to all the people attending. Trying to work out what his presentation should be, he learns that his mother is coming to visit from Kanto, which causes Ash to be even more nervous. Rotom then comes up with an idea to help Ash. Will the presentation go off without an issue?

Litten is so cute with Delia

So Rotom's voice reanacter came in handy then...

 

[Lucario At Service]

So Rotom used its 'Voice Sampling' feature (which it got in the previous episode) in this episode to help Ash cheat?

Litten is so cute with Delia

Why do i suddenly get the feeling of seeing Delia with an Alolan Meowth as her pet?

 

[Frozocrone]

Ash is busted xD

Also this episode highlights that the classmates desperately need more Pokemon in their rosters.

 

[Lucario At Service]

Now Delia is commanding Litten in a battle.

Edit: Change in the Ending Theme?
Now Jessie, James, Lillie also do various Z-Move Poses.

 

[Frozocrone]

Delia is bae rn
crap she's leaving

OH **** LILLIE AND TR WITH Z MOVES

It's just an ending, but possible foreshadowing of things to come (Lillie being on par with Ash as a MC, TR being even more competent...)

ooooooh

Why do I get the feeling that litten might not evolve in order to remain as delia's cute house pet cat. Maybe Lycanroc might really be Ash's ace this gen. Anyway 6.5/10 for this episode. Loved the combination of Ash and his mom when fighting team skull, and of course gigavolt havoc.
EDIT : Ash must seriously feel fortunate that he has kukui as his teacher. Anyone else would have whooped him for cheating.

I'll just keep it short. I absolutely loved this episode and of course, we see not just Delia battle again but her and Ash battling alongside each other!!! I also noticed that Lillie stepped back when Kanto Vulpix ran up to Delia.

We can see where Ash gets his genes from and it was hilarious seeing Rotom help Ash with his report and hearing his friends call him out. I can't believe he thought that was a good idea lol! I had a strong feeling Delia might want Litten to come back home with her, that joke did catch me off guard nonetheless. Pretty good episode, I loved that Mallow chan remembered Ash's mother (it seems like she didn't get to meet anyone besides Mallow chan, Lillie, Prof Kukui, Rotom, and his Pokémon ) and I liked how Lana's mother had something to do besides stand there. Pretty good episode!!! I enjoyed it so much that it felt like only 5 minutes passed. Please return to us again Delia Ketchum!!!

EDIT: I agree that the classmates do need more Pokémon. I think Litten can evolve once I mean a bigger cat will help out around the house!

Nice episode! Litten looked really really cute with Delia throughout the episode, Ash's presentation(albeit helped by Rotomdex lol) was nice and typical SM011 end with Pikachu kicking the Team Skull grunts' *** with Gigavolt Havoc. I really enjoyed Delia's presence in this episode. Overall, 8/10.

 

[mystic9899]

i absolutely love delia's interactions with ash's pokemon, i really hope this isn't that last of her in this series. episode was pretty cute imo.

also nice ending with lillie and TRio. might be nothing, but like Frozocrone said, could be foreshadowing lillie's MC role in this series along with ash and team rocket.

 

[NPT]

Without a doubt, Ash and Delia battling alongside each other was the best part of the episode. The writers should do things like this in the series more often.

 

[TheWanderingMist]

This episode was great! I didn't get to see the ending with the people being added in but if it's Lillie and TR, i'm beginning to think that they may actually get the Z-Crystal. Delia having immediate control over Litten was hilarious and Mimey's reaction of her picking Litten over him to battle was funny as well. Plus, Ash and his mom actually got to fight together. We can all see where he gets his energy from now. Ash...how could you let Rotom talk you into that? Rotom just wanted to show off. Lana's mother and sisters were adorable as well even if they didn't do too much.

Wonder if there's any particular reason Ash and Mimey are doing the Psychic Z-move pose. Will Lillie manage to get co-star status?

The in-game Psychic Z-move user, Faba, doesn't show up until Aether shows up. Ash and Mimey are probably just placeholders for the time being.

Lillie better get co-star status. Worked wonders for Dawn being a co-star.

EDIT: might be wrong about Faba. Can't recall the Psychic user off the top of my head.

Agreed. The female lead role hasn't been the same since Dawn. They only got like 25 focus episodes had very little screentime, especially in Serenas case.

 

[satopi]

These Z move scenes are so funny. They look like they're having so much fun dancing and goofing around.

 

[Satomine Night]

Thank you, Pokémon Sun & Moon, for reminding me of why I love Ash's mother and why she needs more screentime. I love how Delia spent the entire episode holding Litten. I got a laugh out of Litten's almost tsundere attitude--how it protested at first, but then gave in and actually enjoyed Delia's attention.

I found it interesting that this was the first time Delia and Prof. Kukui had met. It makes me wonder if Principal Oak played the middle man and was the one who arranged for Ash to stay with Kukui.

That presentation... Oh, Arceus, Ash! ^O^ Well, it seems Rotomdex's voice sampling feature came in handy, but seriously, Ash, how could you let Rotom talk you into that? I knew Ash was going to get caught. The expressions on his classmates' faces as they watched his (or, rather, Rotom's) presentation were priceless! ^O^ Ash, you are darn lucky Prof. Kukui is such a nice teacher. Any other teacher would have roasted your butt for cheating like that.

I have to say the best part of the episode was Ash and Delia battling alongside each other. I really liked how they both shouted at the Pokémon to dodge, not only in unison, but also in the exact same tone of voice. It's just another reminder that, despite their dissimilarities, these two really are mother and son.

WTF is Bewear doing in the background in James's scene? Also, Lillie performing Z-move poses?! Is this foreshadowing an eventual deuterogonist role for Lillie?

[Nafsika]

Ah, this episode was so awesome!!! I liked that they showed us Ash acting so nervously and instead of improvise as usualy do he listened to Rotomdex's advice and cheated!!! In the first scene did Ash complained, because they chose him to do the presentation??? But the best scene was when Delia was giving orders to Litten to battle Team Scull and Litten was like <<What the hell???>>!!!! And the teamup Ash and Delia's was epic!!! I love that episode!!! I wish I could unerstand what they're saying but it's ok I will find it eventually!!! I also liked that we saw Lana's mum!!!!
Do you believe that Ash will take Mr Mime from his mum???

No chance on Mimey given that he didn't seem to mind not battling and Ash is a bit obsessed with them.
