Preview SM125: Satoshi, Encounter Beyond Time!

[marshiyanmisuta]

To avoid modifying the timeline and making it so Kukui completes the Island Challenge, ensuring that the league exists in the present day.

Wouldn't getting Kukui's Z-Ring just modify the timeline more?

Kukui could get another Firium z though... and its not as if not having a Z-Crystal without a Z-Ring would stop him from going to the island challenge.

Kukui could get another Firium z though... and its not as if not having a Z-Crystal without a Z-Ring would stop him from going to the island challenge.

The issue is more so Kukui completing his island challenge, because not having it might potentially result in him failing, thus erasing the league from the timeline. There is a way for Ash to obtain it without completely getting rid of the league, and that is the present day Kukui finding his old Firium and gifting it to Ash because he has no interest in using it now.

This is the SM anime aka “Everything was fine and a person got a new goodie!” series, so they could easily give Ash a Crystal for Torracat in this episode if they want to.

What's the story of that book ? And why kukui cares so much about it ?
It could be how kukui learned about the pokemon league

 

[SammyW27]

No kid Guzma...

And don't tell me this will be a Celebi appearance where it DOESN'T get hurt and need to be protected and/or carried around. That's messing with the natural order!

 

[Rath]

The Firium Z is Kukui's, Ash is just using it because Kukui doesn't have a Z-Ring yet

Hey, who's voicing baby Kukui? Surely Keiichi Nakagawa cannot be able to convincingly pull that off...

Unless OMG GAO IS BABY KUKUI'S NICKNAME!
(I'm so impressed with myself rn that I'm going to be properly disappointed if this wild punt is wrong...)

Probably a manga magazine like Shonen Jump or CoroCoro based on the size and design of the book. I also think we're more likely to see the inspiration of Masked Royal here.

 

[marshiyanmisuta]

Kid Guzma could be voiced by one of those VAs, no? Or maybe a silent cameo?

Maybe him calling himself that makes Ash not realize he's met the young version of the professor?

Really looking forward to this episode, I can't help but wonder why Trevanant is giant, totem maybe

 

[Pulsaro23]

I can't help but wonder why Trevanant is giant, totem maybe

I mean, we've seen Pokémon that are giant for no apparent reason in the anime before (and we're gonna see even more of them in the Sword & Shield series). Not every Pokémon that's bigger than normal has to be a Totem.

He said "maybe".

 

[Pulsaro23]

He said "maybe".

And all I said is that it probably isn't. I don't see what the problem is.

 

[marshiyanmisuta]

I think totem is the most likely option, considering the Z-crystal in Kukui's hand.

A trevanant handing out a firium Z?
