It's because the Flying Taxi is an element that ties every episode together.
Sakurai, Ono or Saab. I cannot pick a favourite. They all do a great job at voicing Leon.Man, they really upped the continuity for this episode, just a sad reminder that it's coming to an end soon. T_T
Having not played Shield, I had no expectation of Allister going in but I ended up liking what we saw of him. Tommy and John reappearing in this episode was unexpected but not unwelcome and I liked the bonding between Tommy and Allister.
I will say, I squee'd just a little when Leon spoke at the end...though it was pretty strange hearing hearing Sakurai coming out of his mouth instead of Ono.
Lastly, I totally did not realise that was Sonia during the credits until I saw Yamper's butt.
Hmmm....
Have not played Shield, but I learned about Allister. An interesting Gym Leader.Why the hell did they have to fill my son's episode with a plot totally unrealted to him? They couldn't have just given John and Tommy their own episode to have this little spat instead of making it take up all of Allister's episode? We legit barely see my boy, which sucks becasue the little that we did see of him was soo cute. He's the shy little bean that I love and his pet ghosts follow him everywhere. That would have been something great to see as the focus of an entire episode.
The other gym leaders got their own full episodes, but Allister has to share? I don't like it. I wanted this to be my favorite episode, but they really ruined it by shoving Allister to the side and focusing on two characters who already had a whole episode dedicated to them. I hope we can see more of Allister at a later point, becuase he got toally screwed over here.

The same thought occurred to me during this episode--the Mega Evolution special turned out to be a way to bring a character into the XY main anime, after all.

Melony and Gordie did actually cameo in Oleana's episode. It's during the G-Max fight between Lapras and Coalossal, you can see their faces flash by on the moniter.
Also, did you notice that when the guard did his nightly rounds (AFTER Tommy returned) that Tommy's bed was not only empty but not even made, and the guard was nevertheless satisfied and left the room? Nothing to suggest that Tommy has been discharged...
