'Departure' can also mean death. Maybe hinting at Nagandanel or Lillie's death?
No.
The Japanese is 旅立ち which is very specifically "embarking on a journey". And even aside from that... I know Sun & Moon has dealt with death before but they're not gonna end the series with one of the hero's closest friends dying.

They're never gonna kill a main character. Ever.

I mean I’m shocked we even got Stoutland and even Mallow’s mother was included

Ash has died how many times now? Lol you’d think this was Dragon Ball with how much death has been played around with in this series since DP

But yea, no one is going to die. Traveling wise, I do think Kiawe and Sophocles are going to travel together in a different region to participate in Gyms and spread Alolan culture or whatever. Lana is going to find her master again, Lillie is going to join Gladion in search of Mohn, and Mallow is going to keep on running the restaurant.

Honestly have no idea what Ash is going to do or even how they’ll transition this into Galar.

Ash deaths: 6
Pikachu deaths: 2
Goku deaths: 2

Keep in mind, Dragon Ball has an readily available method for reviving the dead, and DB is supposed to be a much more dangerous universe than Pokemon.

Peanuts aren't just a nut.
And so the end is near. SM, you have a lot of appreciation from me for the fact that you shook things up considerably from the norm with the school setting. But I won't feel too sad leaving you as the next series also appears ambitious and different from the norm. On that note:

It's finally coming to an end. Three years of absolute mediocrity. It might have been an utter waste for the most part, but I thank SM for highlighting exactly how a series can fail in almost every conceivable aspect.

Good riddance
Hopefully the next series will not be like XY(Z).

"Tower of Terror"
M1

Where are the other 3?

It's the same pattern in each of those middle movies: someone dies, then the Mythical (Mew/Manaphy/Victini) use their powers to bring the deceased back to life. I'd argue if you say Mew revived everyone, Manaphy/Victini did so as well, it's just that drowning and freezing/suffocating is a much less visceral death than being devoured by myeloid cells.

Curiously, Shudo has gone on record saying that Ash didn't die in M01. But that's how everyone remembers it, and that experience is why he more explicitly died in M20. The stone-petrification death was also canonized by Yveltal in both M17 and "The Legend of XYZ" special, and so the effect was changed in M22 to not resemble stone-petrification.

lmao Knew the Mohn plotline wouldn't get resolved. SM defense squad was so quick to jump to it's aid on the previous episode. What was even the point of bringing him up?

Hopefully Kiawe's leaving for Kanto. Bewear's farewell will be the only thing worth shedding a tear for
Goodbye and good riddance worst professor and Lana, I won't miss either of you
