I'm literally thinking Suichi but I'm sure not everyone will know who I'm talking about. For now, until I think up a good nickname for her, she shall be known (to me) as Goddess Suiren/Lana. Or Lady Lana/Suiren.
Good news: Bonnie, Serena and Clemont get to stick around for a bit longer than we originally expected!
Bad news: They're almost certainly (as in, certainly but can't technically say so until the episode actually airs) leaving in this episode. I know people wish they would go with Ash to Pallet Town and that "head off on a new adventure" seems to imply that ... but Dedenne not wanting to say goodbye implies that at least Bonnie will leave. Clemont probably won't leave Bonnie behind, so he stays behind too. And I highly doubt Serena would travel with Ash to Pallet, considering she won't be in Sun and Moon.
Also bad news: This is likely the second-to-last episode of XYZ, a season which was amazing. It's going to be sad to see the characters go. Yes, two of the three (Serena and Clemont) didn't get as much development as they should have, but all three were likeable and all together (with Ash) had some pretty excellent group chemistry. They all actually felt like a family in some ways, their group chemistry was that good (best example: see XYZ010).
Also, I would advise people here not to worry about the Dedenne part. Not sure why Dedenne is worried (Chespin, etc. would have made more sense) but I highly doubt the Dedenne focus will last more than a minute or two. Remember XYZ036, with the Chespin gets lost blurb that got people really annoyed, and which ended up being a minute or two of a really good, plot-developing episode? I could see a similar situation happening here.
I wish ... but don't get your hopes up. If they were all going, why would Dedenne feel bad about saying goodbye? (it wouldn't have to say goodbye at the airport if Bonnie were going.)
These Gen 6 characters aren't going to Alola. Let the new characters like Mao chan, Queen Lillie, and Lady Lana get their time to shine. Serena and whoever can visit Alola whenever the writers feel the need to put them there.
SM episode 1: Satoshi and Serena! A New Adventure in Alola!
*2 weeks of amourshippers fanboying*
Summary that comes out 2 weeks later: Satoshi is heading off to the Alola region! He has left his friend Serena back in Kalos as she pursues her dream of becoming Kalos Queen!
Dedenne should have complained about Goodra leaving forever, not the others, so this comes across as weird. He's just slightly better than Clemont's Luxray, but he was never that much into being the team's glue...
i have a feeling this is gonna play out very similarly to the dp farewell. dedenne will run away, bonnie and pikachu go after it, dedenne cries while pikachu pats it on the back, and then bonnie says some stuff, hugs it, and takes it back. watch them throw team rocket in there because why not.
Ah well, repeat of the last DP episode, only with XY characters. They need to realize that not everything can last forever. They'll be back together eventually, but only off-screen. Writers NEED to promote the Gen VII characters more than Gen VI soon.
So this is where Clemont, Bonnie and Serena leave then? That's good as it gives us a bit more time with them before they go. I hope it's a good farewell, not like last time...not too thrilled about the Piplup similarities here though i must admit since i'm not the biggest fan of Dedenne to start with and never will be xD
Oh well i really hope that all the Pokemon are out and able to say goodbye this time (not like last gen...), and as long as Chespin-Pancham/Bunnelby-Sylveon/Dedenne-Goodra (though i dislike Dedenne, Goodra's still awesome-if Goodra's even still with them...), have a good goodbye between them (as well as Ash and co) i'd be happy! That's all i want from this episode ^^
EDIT: Wait...could this be the last XY episode then? I was hoping to have an Ash alone episode at the end in Kanto where we get to see Ash's team dropped off at the Lab, his older Pokemon, his mum and Prof. Oak again. If it's all this episode then i fear that the goodbye between everybody will be rushed 3:

OMG ! After around 140 episodes, Dedenne will have personality!
No, seriously... I thought that having less personality would make a Mascot less unbearable (as Piplup and Emolga that were very irritating), but here, except "to be cute" Dedenne had no personality. I even came to regret Emolga... No Piplup, not exaggerate...
I actually see Clemont and Bonnie leaving in the decision episode, then Serena leaving in the following, then in the Greninja episode, actually reappear towards the end saying something like how they couldn't let their best friend leave without saying goodbye, they help fight Xerosic and then they're there for Greninja's release. Then they all head off to the airport for this episode. Queue Tears after the cloudy weather.
I hope theres an Oak episode after this, I need Bulbasaur to make his XY series appearance so I can carry on saying Bulbasaur has appeared in every series.
'Till the day we meet again… if only, episode title, if only.
Anyway, I suppose this pretty much confirms that XY will end with this episode. There could be an extra episode where Ash goes to Pallet Town to meet his Pokémon again, though where he will be disfigured completely to get ready for the Alola region.
