So much action, so much intensity, so many mysteries and questions popping up, Team Flare seem to be harnessing Zygarde's energy and planning to create Yggdrasil?

Hands down the best Pokemon episode since Ash vs Paul in the Sinnoh League.

What in the hell is Team Flare trying to do? Does that giant tree have any connection with the plot of the games? I couldn't play them :(

Anyways, nice episode. Both fights were awesome, although I was imagining that Ash would lose.
Seems like the next episode is going to be as interesting as this one. I'm looking forward to see how Z-2 will end traveling with Team Rocket.

Dat do-do-do-de-do at the Pokemon Center! :)

This was an intense episode (as far as Pokemon goes). Great battle and animation, especially in the first half!

Alan's Lizardon, wow never knew a Charzard could learn Thunder Punch. He sure caught Ash and Greninja off guard.
What better way to finish the battle than with a high powered Blast Burn.

Alan states that Ash and Greninja mega evolved without the need of the stone. He kept checking his Mega bracelet to see if it was radiating anything.


Ash vs Shota, well can't say I liked it. Shelgon getting owned by Hawlucha's Flying Press. This is a Dragon type we are talking about, sort of expected a bit more out of Shelgon. Honedge didn't even use an attack which was a bummer.

Overall it was a very good episode. Alan vs Ash was a great battle. Best battle since Sinnoh, excluding Tobias.

Finally, sub is here. So hype. I am enjoying and hype Pokemon just as much as when I first watch the first season.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Took so long for that to be subbed ha.

Probably the best episode of XYZ and most of XY if you ask me. Both battles were really fun to watch.

Good episode. The hype for the climax is real.
Fun battles! Poor Sceptile, though. xD

Really curious to see what Team Flare is really up to!


Sceptile got screwed hard. Let's hope the translations team will not translate movies like that. I'm not complaining but they take forever. At least wait til XY&Z is over first. Other than that excellent piece.

That was so awesome!~

Ash finally met Alain after fighting Sawyer and Alain saw what his Greninja can do and now he thinks it's mega evolution after doing battle and seeing the same again but with no mega stones!

Ash's bond must be strong with Greninja if it really is mega evolution with no stones like it appears to be! D:

I loved seeing Alain again and his mega evolved Charizard~! he's so awesome.

Thunder punch and all the other attacks were so awesome~!

Why does Team Flare want to use Zygarde's power to make big trees, I wonder if it is Yggdrasil! I haven't seen them in the X and Y games as I haven't played much so not gotten far.

This was easily one of the best episodes ever!

And that meeting between Ash and Alain is important to the Kalos crisis!

Whoa, Z-2 ends up with Team Rocket? I didn't know that.

Team Rocket were good this episode too until Alain ruined their plan and they did so well until he turned up!

Jukain got Pokemon sakuga'd by Gekkouga.

Rocket Gang's new song is so good.

The fated meeting and battle! Satoshi(Bakura) vs Alan(Yuya).

Odd-Eyes Lizardon Dragon owned the shit out of Gekkouga.

The battle was pretty underwhelming and just doesn't compare to Mega Evolution. ME spoiled me so badly.

I see that they are using "XY&Z" as the insert song. I hope they use Volt again at some point.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

Shota is back, with evolved and new pokemon. I do love the sword pokemon evolution line, very cool to see it in battle.

Those other characters are from the Mega Evolution special mini-series, huh? I skipped that since I didn't know it would connect to the main anime canon. I guess I should watch it before continuing too much more into XYZ.

Very cool battle. Satoshi/Ash lost? The type advantage didn't apply since Mega Charizard X is neutral to water-type attacks with the typing change.

Next episode looks like a Rocket-heavy one, yay.
