''Satoshi'' and the others? This episode is Ash focused confirmed!

 

[BigDocFan]

Guessing Chloe and Goh are the others

 

[GrookeyFan77]

I would like it if Chloe came with them

 

[BigDocFan]

Hopefully Chloe will catch some Pokemon, I'm guessing this is set in Johto

I love just how casual these summaries have become regarding legendaries.

“So, they came to a lake, and there happened to be a Suicune being hunted there. What are the odds?”

 

[GrookeyFan77]

What are the odds?”

100% cuz Plot Armor.

Kei Shindo: Raichu

Goh's Raichu, perhaps?

 

[BigDocFan]

Goh's Raichu, perhaps?

That's what I'm thinking, or it could belong to the hunters

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

That's what I'm thinking, or it could belong to the hunters

I personally think it's Goh's.

 

[BigDocFan]

I personally think it's Goh's.

Agreed

Nice to see we have an actor for Suicune, even if Chloe is absent

This is probably a long shot but I really hope they address here what makes Gou wanting to catch Suicune any different from these hunters that want to do the same beyond “oh these guys are using traps and specialized technology so they’re automatically bad while Gou is good”. This would be a perfect opportunity to address the concerns people have said numerous times about how Gou’s goal is handled in this series (especially compared to how capturing Pokémon was handled in the past) and it could lead to some really good development for Gou and making him think more about what he’s doing and what’s so different between him and these hunters and could he be tempted to catch Pokémon in these methods? (Although I will admit to bias as if I were to write Gou (who I love but wish was handled better), that would 100% be what I’d do)

But hey this is Journeys so I won’t be surprised if they just go the generic “good guy protagonists vs evil hunters” route with no acknowledgement of Gou’s goal beyond why he’s here

Tsuguo Mogami: Boss

BOSS?

I personally think it's Goh's.

OMG yes, I love Goh's Raichu!

and Go instantly gets excited about the chance to get a legendary Pokémon.

Too bad, there is no way he will catch it
