the Lazy god Arecus Shows up, uses judgement almost kills team glacatic on the chopper. Instead of letting Arceus kill the heattran & destroy Sinnoh, AUE convince Arecus to let Satoshi & co save the heatron. Well Arecus shades team galactic, you know theyll be back tring to find cyrus

Arceus made three kids risk their lives trying to tame a giant magma monster ad straight up ignored the already incapacitated Galactic trio, refusing to give even the smallest hint of where Cyrus could be. I'm surprised he didn't order someone to sacrifice their son or soemthing.
Anyway great special, the berserk Heatran was especially cool.

It was a very simple ending, but it wasn't that bad.

Not as good as I was hoping but we got shirtless Brock(and the Croagunk gag as well) and Arceus using his plates for more than just defense to ACTUALLY do something god-like so not much to complain.
Also, was that Lucas with Legends clothing in the end; nice cameo from AU guy.

Quite disappointing tbh, expected a bit more since they were giving us four episodes. Should have had Heatran in the title instead lmao.

Ash is over here trying to tell Arceus how to do his job, lmao. Lie down before you hurt yourself, Ash.

Overall, it felt like just another episode of the new series. Though, for being something that was meant to promote Legend Arceus, I feel like they did a poor job. The only mention of Hisui and the new forms was like a 30 minute segment in the beginning. I figured Ash, Dawn, and Goh were going to be sent to the Hisui region somehow and have an adventure there.

"...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?"

Same. First episode was the best for promoting Hisui region, meanwhile the other 3 of the episodes were just spent fighting a magma monster and Cyrus is still just MIA. And Cynthia was just there as Champion backup so I guess we'll never know the full story on Volo.

A decent ONA side story, though somewhat of a let down in the end. I am glad the dubbed version combined the episodes together as it made it feel more like a movie, which Pokemon has been noticeably missing the last couple of years. I also really enjoyed seeing Ash, Brock and Dawn back together again as well as Team Galactic too. However , the battle with Heatran was ultimately not the most interesting utilisation of these characters to me and it took up far too much time, making the later half a little dull. The connection to Legends Arceus was extremely loose too, with only the very beginning and end having any relation to the games making the whole thing feel a little superfluous in that regard. Still, for only a 1 hour story I did have a good experience overall so I really can't complain too much.

Arceus really was like "I'm God, I know what the fuck I'm doing"

But yeah this would have been way better as a time-travel plot rather than what we got.

Arceus to Team Galactic really be like “You kidding me? That guy tried to destroy reality, and you want me to help you find him? Don’t waste my time with that garbage.”
