This ends the 1st wave of Terastal Training, now comes the 2nd wave coming to you somewhere in Late July - Early August.

Matchups are as followed:

Dot vs Larry
Roy vs Ryme
Liko vs Grusha

All three of them are 2v2's, so more Hattrem, Kilowattrel and Tinkatink action coming soon.

I won't talk much about this episode though, it's a nice and solid episode as per usual with all the others, but what are your thoughts?

Glad to see all three of them succesfully made it through the training. I do hope Liko will start to feel more confident in her battle skills though, it's a bit sad to always see her struggle to get into it at first. But in the end she always delivers.

Next episode seems like a fun one! Can't wait!

This episode went unnecessarily hard, the animation for that fight was great.

Good episode.
First of all, good battle between Liko and Rika.
When these fights with E4 were announced, I thought it was kinda stupid that the characters, who could barely fight against gym leaders, were to fight against the regional elite, but in the end, none of the protagonists won(I think that the fight against Poppy was won by Iono, and Dot was lucky to be on the team with her), so a bit of logic is still here.
It was also nice to meet Penny and see her interaction with Dot.
It was obvious how the interaction of such socially withdrawn characters will look like, and voice actors really did ther job.
It's also nice that the anime's plot finally related to the main plot of the games.
However, I still have the impression that the story of Koraidon/Miraidon, Arven and his parents will be omitted here, and everything will focus on Terapagos.
Likewise, I wouldn't be surprised if the Team Star storyline was also omitted in the anime.
I still don't understand how the next fights with gym leaders will be explained, since theoretically the characters have completed the Terastal course. Second level of the same course maybe? Regardless, I'm glad we'll get to see Larry, Ryme and Grusha in action. The animation in the preview looked quite nice. I wonder what about Tulip and Kofu?
I think Roy vs. Ryme would be a good time for Fuecoco to evolve. Nevertheless, seeing how much emphasis anime creators put on showing the basic forms of starters, I not sure this will happen so soon.

Chili had to terrestrial in the end and she was the only Elite Four member who did. which I thought was against the rules but whatever. I think it just showed how far along Liko and Nyarote are. Great episode.

@SoraSenpai I checked the last episode, the gym leader was banned, not the E4 member.

@Soleks100000 I think the Team Star plotline has already happened offscreen, because Penny's already working as an engineer in an official capacity. Which looks like it's gonna make her plot relevant, as it allows her to notice things that no one else of student age is in a position to notice.





As for my own thoughts on the episode.... well.

Penny my beloved FINALLY got proper screentime. This is what I've been waiting for!

Liko crying after the battle was sad to see, but anyway it was a good one, and meanwhile the story development with Dot and Penny was interesting

Oof F for Liko. It was expected to happen but she did better than I thought. This defeat can set a new milestone for her. She has a Floragato and Hattrem in this point of the anime, and she wasn't even fully trying! With this new view on battles, I'm sure she'll reach new heights :P

Godd Liko development episode. She has finally found a reason to give her all in a Pokemon battle.

Really enjoyed this one. Liko's battle was really exciting, although it was all but inevitable that she would lose. You could truly feel the earnest tears at the end. Dot's little side mystery is also setting things up nicely for the overall plot. I'm glad that korraidon finally made an appearance (through the shadow on the book) and they are teasing terapagos' alternate form.

We finally had some mention of Paradox Pokémons! I'm quite excited to see how the series will approach this plot.

Such a fun battle!
Love the character development for Liko, even if she lost.
