Pokemon Horizons - Episode 137 & 138 summaries

May 22nd: PM2023 137 - Reboot! Off to the World of Adventure!!

>Now that their adventure in Rakua is over, Liko and the others have been spending their days just sitting around absentmindedly without doing much of anything. However, one day Friede comes by and invites them along for some fieldwork to investigate an amazing Pokémon. That amazing Pokémon turns out to be a... Feebas?! This Feebas does seem to act quite different from how it's described in the Pokedex, though... A new adventure is now about to begin, with everyone's heart filled with their own individual desires!

May 29th: PM2023 138 - Enter the Fake Rising Volt Tacklers?!

>News of the Rising Volt Tacklers helping people has become the talk of the town all over... however, Liko and the others have absolutely no idea what these stories are referring to. Could there be impostors around...? The group head off to investigate in order to find out what's going on... and believe it or not, while they're asking around for information, they discover a second Brave Olivine?! Just who are the Fake Rising Volt Tacklers...?

Some reasons:

  1. Absol's lore and backstory make it an incredibly easy setup for a tragic backstory and a bonding episode. Liko has always been depicted as a character who wants to understand Pokemon better and excels at bonding with them, and having her bond with a Pokemon that some people still believe brings disasters would be ideal.

  2. The key point of Absol's lore is that it's unfairly blamed for natural disasters to occur. This is something Liko can explicitly empathize with because she and the Rising Volt Tacklers were also unfairly blamed for a disaster that occurred even though it wasn't their fault.

  3. Absol is a single-stage Pokemon, meaning it doesn't require evolving for its Mega Evolution. This makes things way more convenient than catching a pre-evo and having to train it.

  4. Absol has a Z-mega evolution, and it would present a nice counterpart to Roy's Mega Lucario who also has a Z-mega evolution. Its Dark/Ghost typing would be a nice counter to Lucario's Fighting/Steel typing.

I know the chances of Liko getting a Mega are like 0.000000001% at this point, but if she gets one, I could totally see Absol being a perfect fit.

This pretty much summarizes everything wrong with the current state of Horizons. They pretty explicitly stated in the previous arc that Liko and Amethio will be the key to stopping Spinel, only to turn around and make Mega Evolution the key to defeating Spinel, with Roy and Amethio being the actual stars of the climax.

I've seen a few comments about the latest episode saying how Agott was acting out-of-character compared to the previous episodes, and how all the girls have inconsistent personalities that change from episode to episode.

What is all that about, am I missing something?

I haven't noticed any obvious inconsistencies.
