Hmm, Burnet and Gonbe here. Seems to be a Lillie focused episode. I smell more Aether stuff here!

 

[Janovy]

Lillie ends up sneaking out. Let me guess: she's secretly training with her Vulpix?

Please be true.

Lillie to crush League dreams

 

[Darthlord7]

I don't really get the "Fully Powered Pose" part of the title. I can only think about Lillie getting her "Z-Powered Form" but I think it's a bit early for that.

 

[1rkhachatryan]

So either Lillie's going into Z mode or she finds the Z-Ring/Icium Z here . That or Vulpix finally learns some new moves and battles/trains which I would be just as happy with lol.

 

[345ash-greninja]

Please be true.

Lillie to crush League dreams

Not in a million years!

I think this episode could be an apt prequel to the next episode with Lillie running away at night here and meeting Silvally in the next episode.

 

[Xeogran]

I'm more interested to see the classmates all playing together. I love scenes like this as they add more character development, and I hope that it will be a nice and fun compilation.

 

[Akkipeddi]

In the opening, we see Lillie getting ready in her Z Powered form near a balcony. It's possible that the episode ends with Lillie changing into her form, and sneaking out to meet Gladion for the next episode, with Burnet spotting Lillie that way.

Kinda hope there spark between burnet and kukui :3

 

[Frozocrone]

Hadn't even noticed Burnet and Munchlax were in here.

This could be fun.

 

[Lucario At Service]

Oh, more interaction between Kukui and Burnet, which i guess is being done to tie in with the games aspect of them both being married.
In short, by the end of the SM Saga, both of them would hold a marriage, and their marriage would most likely be the reason for Ash to leave Alola and continue on his journey in another region.

Lol that actually sounds like a really sad way for Ash to leave Alola. It'll be like Kukui saying "Hey Ash, we're married and need the space. There's no room for an unwanted freeloader like you, so please leave".

In the games Lillie lives with Kukui and he is already married
This doesn't make sense at all

 

[TheWanderingMist]

Z-powered Lillie likely? Or perhaps she's been secretly meeting with Jigglypuff because it reminds her of Clefairy.

im excited for dubs, but did Kukui mention anything specific towards Burnett hinting at their future relationship in the last episode that aired do you know???

Maybe she'll take Vulpix to go train at the Pokemon Fight Club.

So, Prof. Burnet is going to be sleeping over at Prof. Kukui's house ehh...

 

[Satomine Night]

That was one of the first things that came to my mind, as well—Lillie sneaks out at night to start training with Shiron, though why she would feel she has to train in secret, when everyone else is asleep, I don't know. Another thing that came to mind is that perhaps the tour of Aether Paradise triggers something in Lillie's mind—either a newfound determination or a fragment of a missing memory. Perhaps she sees something at Aether Paradise that reminds her of Silvally and/or of her brother.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to any potential Kukui/Burnet interactions here. I'm still disappointed that anime Kukui and Burnet aren't married, as their game counterparts are, so a part of me is hoping this episode lays the foundation for a future (romantic) relationship.

He seems to know her because she's a fellow professor and researches on Ultra Holes, which is an important topic. Other than that, there wasn't any hint about Kukui and Burnet getting together yet. It could of course get built up later on.

Yeah I'm looking forward to the scenes with the classmates playing. More Lillie focus is great but I think she'll just have a heart to heart conversation with Prof Burnet.
