![]() ![]() ![]() She has apparently taken a page out of AJ's book, in terms of literally whipping her Pokemon into shape ( is this allowed anymore?), to the chagrin of Meowth. Speaking of getting stronger, Jessie has gone decidedly old-school in her training methods. Has Clemont actually become strong enough to defeat Ash? ( Or more likely, has Clembot become strong enough to kill all humans?), only time will tell. The nasally-voiced challenger gladly accepts Clemont's battle advice and jots it down in a notebook that he carries with him ( nerd!). Clemont orders a Wild Charge from Luxray and it quickly puts an end to the Wood Gecko Pokemon. So what of Pokemon's resident John Denver lookalike? Clemont is presently in the middle of a heated gym battle against a mysterious green-haired trainer in cargo shorts and his Treecko. "So your worries are about Clemont – got it!" declares Ash stupidly, sounding as if he has only just now made the connection that Bonnie and Clemont are siblings. Bonnie and Ash do their best to cheer Fennekin and Pancham up, but then Bonnie unburdens some troubles of her own. Meanwhile, Ash's Pokemon have taken after their trainer and are all gathered around their food dishes stuffing their faces with not a care in the world. The thought of performing stresses Serena out again, if only she could be just like her hero: Aria, the Kalos Queen! Rather than dwell on Serena's personal crisis, Ariana presents a more pressing issue – which bracelet should she buy?Ībandoned and trainer-less, Serena's Pokemon are still fretting over whether she will ever come back. The red-haired Zooey Deschanel wannabe thinks Serena is in the market for a new hat, but when our heroine admits that her mind was elsewhere, Pokemon's New Girl offers a bit of free advice instead, "always keep smiling" – every 1950's housewife's mantra ( repress those feelings ladies!) Serena thinks to herself that she has seen this stranger before somewhere ( perhaps buying kale chips at the local Whole Foods?), but before she can dwell on this thought she is swept off on a shopping spree ( undoubtedly down at the Urban Outfitters).Īria – ahem, Ariana – is actually the first girl to recognize the other, claiming to have seen Serena's disastrous showcase debut. She is staring blankly at a shop window, when suddenly she is accosted by a roving hipster. Unfortunately, James' wisdom is no match for Jessie's single-minded determination, especially once Meowth joins in on her insane fantasy with the proposition of free Pokemon.īack in town, Serena is still stewing over the way she blew-up in front of her Pokemon earlier. Nearby, James – the rightful queen of Kanto – is fishing, and does his best to relay to Jessie the fact that becoming the regional performing champion does not necessarily mean that one will become "queen" in the head of state sense as well. Meanwhile, somewhere off by a stream, the show's regular overly-dramatic female is over-dramatically watching Shauna's latest performance and dreaming of the day when she will become the rightful queen of Kalos. ( "You shouldn't fight!" implores Bonnie, which must be the most contradictory thing someone has ever said to a Pokemon.)ĭespite Ash's best efforts to diffuse the situation, Serena angrily storms off, leaving her chastised Pokemon behind. Subsequent rehearsals do not go much better, and the feud between Pancham and Fennekin continues to escalate until Serena gets caught in the crossfire. The quick-to-anger little panda bear does not take kindly to having its butt set on fire, and it shares some harsh words ( or whatever passes for words between Pokemon) with Fennekin. The trio perform a complicated series of gymnastic leaps and dance moves which culminates with Fennekin spewing a ring of fire that Pancham leaps through. The opportunity to win her boyfriend's love through success in Pokemon-related competitions proves to be an excellent motivator for Serena and so the gang decamps to a nearby practice battlefield where she outlines her showcase strategy for Fennekin and Pancham in the dirt. Ash happily responds "she's famous alright!" – but perhaps a little too happily for jealous girlfriend Serena. Bonnie comments about how Shauna is famous now, following her stunning ( and in my opinion, unfair) victory over Serena in the last Pokemon Showcase. ![]() At present, the eyes of Ash, Serena, and Bonnie are glued to a public television on which Shauna – Serena's new rival – is flaunting her Pokemon Performing stuff. Today our heroes have stopped at a Pokemon Center on the way back to Lumiose City, where Ash hopes to defeat his once and future travel companion Clemont and earn his fifth Kalos gym badge. Another day dawns on the never-ending adventures of Ash Ketchum and his band of merry (wo)men. ![]()
