There's no way they are showing Ryuki bruh.

Since the Kantonian Gym is modeled after Lt. Surge's gym, I wonder if it will be the same in the anime and I wonder if Ash will remember his battle with Lt. Surge. Looks like we'll probably get a good battle here, and hopefully Ash wins for a change.

For a change? Ash wins almost all the time in this series.

Not really. He's lost probably half of his battles in this series.

What makes you think they won't?

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

Please let Ryuki appear here. He could even participate in the Alola League.

 

[BigDocFan]

Promises to be an interesting episode

Maybe. Maybe not. I don't personally see any solid hints to that direction, although I admit it could be a good opportunity for it.

This, coupled with the fact that it's April 1st, made me think this is a joke. But nope, Serebii says it's legit.

Not sure how to feel about this actually being real...

Hey, even the summary says "for some reason". It's obviously meant to sound weird until we get a better explanation for the ninjas.

 

[SammyW27]

Malie City...trainers dressed as ninja...Dragon-types...sure sounds like a good set up for a Ryuki appearance...

And if he does appear, I kind of hope the anime makes him related to Roxie

 

[DarkraiKnight]

I kind of hope the anime makes him related to Roxie

Yes, yes, yes and ONE THOUSAND TIMES YES!!!!!

 

[Gengarzilla]

I want to say Kommonium Z is a sure thing to see here, but I'm certain someone would have said the same thing about Fairium Z when Mina appeared. We just don't know yet.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

We don’t even know if a Kommo-o will appear in the episode...

True, but it could be a good opportunity.

 

[BigDocFan]

Hopefully we'll see plenty of Dragon types in this episode and some battles

If Ryuki is here, it will.

 

[MarshiyanMisutaa]

Iris will appear. As a background character.
