Some thoughts on the last episode:

1 - Gibeon mentions something called Lacrium, which may be the Shiny Zygarde that appears behind him. It also says "once more in Rakua" which is confusing. Did he arrive in Rakua? Is he in Rakua? Has he ever been to Rakua? What's going on?

2 - Spinel 100% will betray the Explorers. His face at the end of the episode says it all. It is interesting that there is a possibility that both Amethio and Spinel would leave the group, but while Amethio would betray the Explorers to help Liko and the RVT, Spinel would betray them in favor of his own interests. It's interesting to wonder what Spinel's reason is for being on the Explorers, and what he's up to with Rayquaza and Terapagos. I prefer it to be something more interesting than "he's the villain and wants power to dominate the world" or something like that.

3 - It's super interesting to me that Amethio says "Follow your own path" when he terastalizes Ceruledge, because we know he's not in the Explorers for his own dreams and interests. Amethio doesn't have a dream, and he probably doesn't think he has a path outside of the Explorers. It's a very interesting choice of words.

4 - Conia and Zir were obviously worried about Amethio. Conia's tone of voice, and how Zir speaks first of Amethio's well-being before anything else, further shows how much they care about this troubled teenager.

5 - Floragato using the yo-yo to attack is so cool. Plus, she hugs Fuecoco and Liko (it was so cute). She was definitely super proud of herself for evolving.

6 - Liko thanking Amethio for his help! She seemed a little unsure of what to say, but it's nice that Amethio wasn't rude to her like he is to Friede. I think this may have been his way of apologizing for almost killing Liko in episode 1. Also, this is the second time Amethio has saved Liko or one of her Pokémon, and I think it would be cool to see Liko consider that at some point. He had nothing to gain by saving Sprigatito, and he did anyway, and that's cool.

7 - Am I the only one who thinks Charizard and Ceruledge fought way to well together to be the first time? Maybe we'll get a reference to what really happened in the mine with Moltres now that we finally saw Amethio and Friede working together.

This episode was really good, and I can't wait to start arc 3!
