Weird that we're having a Water Pokemon race. I guess it's been almost 60 episodes since the last one, but it's still weird to have this idea repeated in the same series. Both of them also featured fully-evolved Water starters native to that region, too. But this race was more obstacle course-y, which was a nice deviation I guess.
As usual, I liked this episode. I like every episode (that isn't a ****ing Plusle and Minun filler or that second two-shorts episode.) Koharu and Eevee were great and got some much-needed focus, Grookey was cute, and Dracovish stole ever scene it was in. I just hope we don't have to wait like 8400000 more episodes for it to appear again.
Oh, and the Seaking girl from the Feebas episode is back.
Now the question is, what becomes of the Water Stone? Will it get used, or be forgotten? Will Koharu end up collecting all of the Stones for an episode about Eevee evolving (only for it to reject all of them?) Or will another Pokemon use it?
