Eh, I agree it was a lackluster episode, not really anything of importance and so strange after a good lot of episodes.
The girl never returning to her state is sad, also is the dub aware this counts as a dead body right? Sure, she's stone, but it's still a dead body, interesting since they usually shy away.
So Talonflame... It's just lying somewhere made out of stone as well? Or some rock collector picked it up and took it with them unknowing it's actually real, (We don't know where it landed). I feel sorry for them both.
So uh. Olympia and Bonnie have ancient look alikes? Who had the exact same Pokemon? Or was a hint that that child was the ancestor of Bonnie? Maybe the stone girl had a baby before she became stone, and Jan couldn't take care of her in grief so gave her up, and it turns out Bonnie/Clemont are the descendants of this lot. Of course, once again it's a children anime, they aren't going to say that, but I find it suspicious she showed up for no reason, also with a Dedenne. (Maybe she didn't know it was actually her father, but she came around that area because she suspected something.). Or a reincarnation of the stone woman even, perhaps the writers just figured we would figure it out, and didn't want to get into detail/
Don't know about Olympia and her Meowstic deal, maybe she's a time agent, or she is just really old, considering what kind of stuff she got up to.
Oh I think we know where Jan is Professor, his skeleton and Gogoat's skeleton is probably still in the area, or in the water, but since it's a children show it would be not a good idea to actually show the body, doubt anyone ever moved them, for all we know Gogoat somehow helped bury him, and then went to die in a nearby cave.
Well it's a shame it wasn't better, and many questions will never be answered. Honestly if this was a explanation of Bonnie's descendant, and explains why Squishy chose her, because the cells always knew, then that would make sense, maybe it was but the writers were too scared to actually admit it, especially if Jan and his beloved weren't married.
Episode also reminds me of Ghost of Maiden's Peak,
