I was right, it IS an Ash-free episode!

Day-um, Chloe! I knew you and Ash weren't close, but thought you at least had SOME fornications to give...

oh if that's true then Chloe wouldn't be in Galar with Ash and Gou!!

"What does it mean for a Pokémon to Evolve?"

That's a surprisingly deep question and I would be curious to see how the anime answers that considering Pikachu's refusal to Evolve.

According to Dephender, this could actually be episode 120.

 

[isrrael120]

two possible scenarios if that's true, Leon's second battle happens before Chloe's episode or Ash vs Steven's battle is two parts!

 

[BigDocFan]

Really hope this episode is Ash/Goh free (minus a cameo maybe)

I like the idea of Chloe and Cerise spending some father daughter time as we haven't really seen them interact much I don't think

Two parter would be great, I feel 3 v 3 in one episode can be a bit rushed

it would be nice to see it to be honest!

 

[BeautifulSylveon]

It seems that they deliberately omitted JN119's title because it contains a spoiler. So likely Leon's second Battle.

 

[Imtnt]

I guess this summary suggest it is more likely Chloe and Eevee will chose a path, other than to stay unevolved.

But I have a question.. isn't Eevee confirmed using copycat all the time? So why Bulbapedia did not stated it in her moves?

 

[HiroHunter]

With how JN has been up until now I bet that the summary is nothing but bait and nothing with Chloe and Eevee is going to change.

 

[DuskAstral]

I would reject both of these suggestions.

1) M8 participants should get some respite before the semi-final battles. Therefore, I do not see their beginning here.

2) Why would the fight with Steven include two episodes? A 3v3 battle can be easily fit into 1 Episode.

 

[BigDocFan]

Would be nice to see Chloe's Eevee use moves other than Copycat, we saw it use Tackle once against a Rhydon but that was it

We don't see that many Eevee using attacks in the anime it seems

 

[Sai]

I don't see the first semi-finals being done in 1 ep and then this Koharu ep

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

I really have a feeling Chloe's story is going to have the most boring conclusion. They could easily take a more interesting route by having Eevee evolve into a new Eeveelution as a Scarlet and Violet teaser, and having Chloe go off on her own journey to find her own path, her way, just like Eevee did. Its an open ended conclusion, but her Eevee taking her own path by becoming something new could easily inspire Chloe to forge her own path her way. Most of her journey, she's had others showing her options and Eevee has been seeing her options. But I can easily see them taking the boring path of just saying oh, they don't need to make any decisions right now.

 

[SonansuMan]

Unless they drop a new evolution, I don't feel much of anything towards this arc at this point (much less so if they do literally nothing with Eevee). I wish they had just opted to make Chloe a main character because it feels hard to feel invested in her story when she doesn't even appear in at least half of Journeys

It is neat that we're getting a Cerise backstory at least

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

Chloe isn't a bad character, but they've just handled her so poorly by opting out of having her as a main character.

 

[P_S_B]

Chloe isn't a bad character, but they've just handled her so poorly by opting out of having her as a main character.

It's even more frustrating because it looked like they were fixing that problem by giving her more frequent episodes and bringing her along with Ash and Goh a lot of the time, but then they backed off that idea and now she's back to where she was at the start of the series where she only gets one episode every 2-3 months and scant appearances in between.

 

[Lucifer Angel]

If eevee does evolve it might turn into a new form to hype scarlet and violet.

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

Wait, is this not taking place in Galar? If its not in Galar, it rules out Gigantamax Eevee.

 

[DuskAstral]

It is not clear from the episode summary where exactly this Camping will be.
Most likely it will be in Kanto, but if it really were to happen in another region, I would prefer the 9th generation region.
