So on to the second episode of this special. Surely it can't be any worse than the first one right? Well nope, cause it's almost as pointless.
While it was nice to see Mallow's brother, him returning for only one episode just for the Bread festival felt lame. Also, Ash not remembering Nina was the height of ridiculousness. I get he's not the smartest kid around, but to forget a character within the same series, and the family of Nurse Joy's thrice is indeed ridiculous. Only Mallow's brother offered some kind of entertainment, as he was fairly funny. Beyond that, this episode was a dud, hence it gets a 3.5/10.
Next time, unless and until an episode focusing on Mallow clearly indicates something important, like a capture or evolution, I'll treat every Mallow episode to be a trash filler.
And overall, this was one of the worst one hour specials. Two boring and pointless episodes that did nothing.
