Preview JN122: The Semifinals I: "Overwhelming Victory"

[FinnishPokéFan92]

Title provided by Dephender. Scheduled for August 26.

 

[BigDocFan]

Hopefully not overwhelming as in Leon's Charizard knocks all of Diantha's Pokemon out in a single move

 

[Daren]

Title makes me think Diantha is about to get Alain'd.

RIP Diantha
Alain will have done better against Leon than Diantha

 

[RetroPokeFan]

Diantha about to get that "Kalos League Victory" taste thanks to Leon.

 

[Articfoxgamez]

I'm guessing this means 121 is just a recap of the first round's then?

 

[isrrael120]

another smash from Leon! XD

 

[nickdt]

Lol. Charizard is gonna solo Diantha 1v3.

 

[Rath]

"Overwhelming Victory" pretty much confirms another curbstomp, except Diantha gets a full episode to get curbstomped.

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

At this rate I’m curious as to how the grand Ash vs Leon episode is gonna be titled.

“ULTRA UBER PLUS ANYTHING GOES MASTER TOURNAMENT SHOCKING VICTORY! WE’RE TOTALLY NOT PHONING YOU WITH THESE TITLES THIS TIME”

 

[Sai]

The last magazine scan said Diantha will force Leon to bring out more than 2 pokemon, so she's not going to do as badly

Which means the title is misleading, since then it isn't an overwhelming victory (Unless the Victory is for Diantha and she solo's Leon with Gardevoir).

Bring out, yes. Lose more than one? Questionable.

It just says Leon made it through the first round without bringing out a third Pokemon.

It's more or less implied, "Leon will show more than 2 pokemon this time" which I doubt they'll say that otherwise. Leon doesn't strike me of just switching out his pokemon for the hell of it.

So charizard definitely learn steel wing against gardevoir

Reminder that Ash isn't even going to battle Leon.

Better luck next time. Mega Lucario just doesn't cut it.

I highly doubt they'd give away the outcome of a tournament through a soundtrack release.
Good odds the song will be connected to him having concern over getting there rather than playing after Cynthia beats him.

I mean setting Leon up as Ash's goal only for him to actually battle an NPC is honestly not the weirdest thing the show would have done, but...

Edit: Also we had that whole "he's going to fight the ultimate battle" from an interview. That pretty much demands Leon because Leon is the top trainer in the world.

Cocky Ash isn't going to suddenly doubt himself. Everyone around him is making him feel invincible.

The fact that they're using the break for Chloe episodes instead of training says a lot.

 

[nickdt]

So... with the Miracle of evolution confirmed to be a clipshow and not an actual episode, doesn't that make this episode 120. Or are we getting another episode in-between them (If so, most likely focusing on Goh having a catching spree in Galar).

Diantha is gone lmaoo
