[Playerking]

Here is a new summary of the episode, which Depender translated.

Spoiler

It's been decided that Ash is going to "Akala Island" as part of a Pokémon battling class starting today, which makes him even more excited than usual. Then, a woman accompanied by the Pokémon Lycanroc appears. The woman introduces herself as Olivia, and tells him that she's the "Island Kahuna" of Akala Island, which they're headed for. But as Ash heads towards Akala Island together with Olivia, trouble occurs.

*Please let the trouble Rocket-based.*

They'll probably stay in Melemele Island.

What and not appear for months on end? Call me an optimist, but I really think we've moved on from the appalling baseline BW set on this matter. We haven't had a gap of more than 2 episodes Rocket absence in SM so far, I don't think we're suddenly going to get a 5+ episode disappearance.

Is there any need to use the TRio this much when you have Team Skull?

We can see them in short cut-scenes, I guess.

Yes.

Unpopular opinion: Team Skull is the worst team ever. Also TRio came first.

 

[BigDocFan]

Team Rocket are absent this episode, nice

Here are two new summaries of the episode, which Dephender translated.

As Ash is enjoying his journey to Akala Island together with everyone, the Island Kahuna Olivia appears before him. He sets off for Akala Island together with the laughing, crying, falling and lively Olivia, but...

As an excited Ash is about to go to Akala Island together with everyone at the Pokémon School, Akala Island's Island Kahuna Olivia appears before him. Olivia possesses a mysterious charm that even lets her calm rampaging Tauros, and Pikachu and the other Pokémon end up attached to her as well. Ash and the others set off for Akala Island with Olivia as their guide, but on the way they end up getting involved in trouble regarding some sea Pokémon... will they manage to safely reach Akala island?!

 

[SammyW27]

Oh, there's nothing "mysterious" about Olivia's charm

 

[Hassel]

Aw, I was hoping for some Team Skull trouble. Anyways... It'll be really cool to see Olivia! Could the charm be a Soothe Bell? Oh, unless it's "charm" in the abstract sense... heh.

Yeah, I think it's probably her charm, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was some sort of object. Maybe the Japanese points to it being one of the two.

This is the longest absence of Team Rocket since BW097 to BW109.

 

[Nicolas721]

@Playerking isn't the gap between the Galvantula and the Carracacosta episodes bigger?

So this episode will be about Olivia guiding everyone through the sea? Awesome, I love those plots.

If this anime can live without Dawn, I think a few episodes without Team Rocket won't be that bad.

Yeah, but some people are really huge fans of Team Rocket. I'm trying to be sympathetic to Kanji.

Yes, that would be the biggest, but I said the biggest since. The only gap that is bigger than this that is most recent would be from BW097 to BW109.

 

[PTOldMan]

I hate it when I have to go a month or something like that without watching Pokémon because Team Rocket is absent
