#mama subzero

[lilborealis]

Hear me out, what if there was a timeline where instead of Kuai Liang and Bi Han being Scorpion and Sub Zero, you have their parents as Scorpion and Sub Zero 👀

Like it’s very much Thomas and Martha Wayne in the flashpoint timeline. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a timeline in the DC universe where Bruce died instead of his parents. Martha is driven insane and becomes the joker, while Thomas becomes Batman. In this timeline, mama subzero wouldn’t go crazy, but she turns very cold and distant after the death of Bi Han and Kuai Liang. She and her husband still adopt Smoke and was very much a mother figure towards Riptide, but her breaking point is when she gives birth to a stillborn daughter (Min Le). After this, she solely focuses on the Lin Kuei, wanting power and control for once like she had been “robbed” of concerning the death of most of her children.

Everything pretty much happens like it does in the current timeline, and Smoke and Riptide have to watch the two people they considered parents/mentor figures fall apart :(

[running-with-the-feels]

if bi han and kuai liang were never in the lin kuei (aka normal au) what career path do you think they'd choose? rlly i ask this because for some reason i cannot get the idea of opera singer bi han out of my head

I think that Bi-han would have been a baker like their mother (he's a mama's boy at heart) although opera singer Bi-Han is a fascinating idea

I think Kuai Liang would have been a musician, his voice actor in mk11 sounds like he'd have a rly soothing voice for country songs

I also like both of those hcs bc they feel so incongruous with who we see the Subzero Brothers being in canon, which highlights the tragedy of their kidnapping by the Lin Kuei. Like, they used to fit into those roles so perfectly it was easy to see them becoming those things.

But now? If they told anyone that they had wanted to be those things when they were younger, whoever they told would laugh in their faces.

[kath-artic]

the hierarchy of Suitors at the moment is

- guy who hotboxed that prawn 2 death and ate a bug off the ground and then talked to me about dinosaurs and 9/11 for an hour outside in subzero temps. also has a secret ball python that hes hiding in his dorm room and initiated contact w me on bumble asking for juggling lessons. OH and one of the first questions he asked me was "what's the strangest kind of meat youve ever eaten"

- guy who juggled mousetraps. i know nothing about him beyond this actually thats a lie i know hes an engineer but either way i fall in love with people who use props

- guy who i was friends with freshman year who would text me and my buddies that he was ordering food in case we wanted anything and if we said yes he would send us like 10 minutes worth of snapchat videos of him cooking it in cooking mama and then show up wherever we were with his ds. he just described himself as a wine mom once and that bumped him down to 3rd

Praja - Gallipoli, tutti i top party dal 23 al 31/8 con Boomdabash, Nicola Zucchi, Rudeejay, Luchè, Icy Subzero...

Che succede alla Praja - Gallipoli dopo Ferragosto? Si continua a ballare, con party e top dj, ovviamente, in un locale unico gestito da Musicaeparole.

Venerdì 23 e venerdì 30 agosto, ecco BigMama, scatenato party hip hop e black Made in Salento. Il 23 sul palco ci sono pure i Boomdabash, artisti salentini capaci di far ballare tutta Italia con hit come "Per un milione" e Tropicana". Ed eccoci a sabato 24, con Sottosopra Fest che ospita un artista d'eccezione, il rapper napoletano Luchè. Successi come "Non abbiamo età" lo hanno consacrato come star dell'hip hop italiano.

Eccoci quindi a domenica 25 agosto, quando sul palco ci sono due top dj, ovvero Nicola Zucchi e Rudeejay. Lunedì 26 un altro super dj italiano, ovvero Cristian Marchi. Martedì 27 agosto è invece la volta del trapper romano Icy Subzero. Come scrive Webboh, il suo vero nome  è Matteo D'Alessio. E' nato a Roma nel 1999. La sua passione per la musica inizia fin da giovanissimo, quando, attratto da tutto l'immaginario urban, si affaccia alla musica hip hop. Matteo si avvicina alla scrittura per gioco, all'età di 13 anni, ma tutte le sue idee artistiche cominciano a strutturarsi quando diventa maggiorenne, dopo l'incontro con il suo attuale producer, Baudelaire. Ed eccoci al 29, quando va in scena Il Giovedì del Villaggio, seguito sabato 31 dal closing party del top club di Musicaeparole:  La Bella Vita. 

Ospiti internazionali, un nuovo show pazzesco e l'atmosfera incandescente della Praja - Gallipoli, aperta 7 notti su 7. E' questa l'estate 2024 della Praja, epicentro del divertimento più scatenato e colorato a Gallipoli e in Salento. Lo slogan scelto per la nuova stagione è Live the Dream, perché d'estate spesso i sogni diventano realtà. Soprattutto quando si balla con gli amici a due passi dal mare di Gallipoli, con top dj internazionali, come capita alla Praja. 

Il club è l'anima della Praja. Il mainstage di tutti i grandi spettacoli live e dj set. Stare in pista è come sentirsi parte dello show, tra scenografia ed effetti speciali e servizi per tutte le esigenze. Vivere uno show alla Praja - Gallipoli è un'emozione indimenticabile. La Praja ha tante diverse zone in cui vivere la serata: Amamè, Kabana, Soqquadro, aree privè. Sono tutte diverse e in tutte si sta al centro della scena, quella della musica (elettronica, pop, etc) internazionale.

Il 22 luglio ’23 Happy Birthday Praja Gallipoli by Musicaeparole… e una settimana di top party

La settimana di party imperdibili alla Praja Gallipoli by Musicaeparole inizia martedì 18 luglio e si conclude domenica 23 luglio 2023... e culmina sabato 22 luglio '23 con un party dedicato proprio alla Praja, una festa di compleanno, Birthday Celebration in inglese che mette sul palco artiste e personaggi di tv e social amatissimi... ovvero  Ludovica Pagani, Gaia Bianchi, Sofia Crisafulli, Gaia Clerici, Valentina Clerici e Ginevra Lamborghini... tutte insieme  sul palco per il compleanno della Praja. 

Ma andiamo con ordine che le feste da non perdere sono tante e c'è il rischio di perdere il ritmo. Martedì 18 luglio, insieme a Cristian Marchi, top dj italiano che da tempo si esibisce alla Praja, c'è un appunamento firmato Sottosopra Fest con Icy Subzero e VillaBanks. 

Mercoledì 19 luglio ecco invece sul palco Meduza, progetto italiano (e non solo) che con la sua pop dance che fa ballare il mondo. 

Giovedì 20 luglio ecco invece Timmy Trumpet, dj, artista e musicista capace di intrattenere e far scatenare sul dancefloor chiunque, con i suoi dischi e la sua tromba. L'appuntamento è parte dello scatenato PopFest.

Venerdì 21 luglio ecco un'altra data a cura di Sottosopra Fest. Sul palco Rosa Chemical, fattosi conoscere quest'anno a Sanremo, con la sua carica e la sua ironia. Sul palco c'è anche Miles... e non è tutto. Sul palco della Praja Gallipoli by Musicaeparole ecco Big Mama, party scatenato dedicato al sound black (hip hop, rnb e dintorni) che fa scatenare il pianeta.

Sabato 22 come abbiamo già accennato ecco la festa di compleanno della Praja, mentre domenica 23 ecco un folle e imperdibile party firmato Zarro Night, una festa tutta da vivere cantando e ballando con gli amici. Special guest Alessia Lanza, influencer da oltre 1 milion di follower su Instagram e voce di Mille Pare.

L'estate della Praja Gallipoli spinge forte a ritmo di musica che fa scatenare. Ormai il calendario lo dice chiaramente e l'estate della Praja Gallipoli, discoteca simbolo del divertimento estivo italiano gestita da Musicaeparole, continua a far ballare anche a fine giugno 2023 dopo aver iniziato la sua stagione il 17 giugno con un super party che ha visto sul palco Federico Scavo al mixer e il violino di Mark Lanzetta... il locale ha risposto alla grande alla splendida musica proposta da questi due artisti. Anche il party di qualche notte fa con Francesca Brambilla e Fred De Palma, grandi protagonisti musicali dell'estate italiana... 

A luglio e agosto, nell'estate 2023 la Praja Gallipoli (Lecce), capitale musicale del Salento e del divertimento è aperta 7 sere su 7, spesso con due o tre superstar sul palco ogni sera.  Musicaeparole sta comunicando via via la presenza, come capita del resto ogni anno di tanti top dj mondiali.

Ecco, direttamente, dalla pagina Instagram della Praja Gallipoli, gli artisti aggiunti più recentemente: 

Il 12 agosto, dopo il concerto di Mara Sattei, torna il groove di Benny Benassi @ Popfest - People on Pleasure c/o Praja  Gallipoli. Il 30 luglio c'è il pop scatenato di Irama, una vera star per chi ama la musica italiana. Il 27 luglio, ancora per Popfest, ecco Merk & Kremont, super dj italiani che producono tanti artisti tra cui quella di Sangiovanni ed Il Pagante. Ecco poi un dj set molto atteso per il 10 luglio: al mixer della Praja c'è Ale Basciano, che divide la console con un artista da sempre amico della Praja, Cristian Marchi.

E ancora: l'italiano Gabry Ponte è atteso il 26 luglio; Bob Sinclar, il re di Francia e del Salento, torna alla Praja il 3 agosto... ed è già stata annunciata mentre scriviamo anche la presenza di Steve Aoki, ovviamente per Popfest, il festival più internazionale della Praja Gallipoli. Il super dj americano sarà alla Praja Gallipoli il 14 agosto, per un Ferragosto scatenato.

Tra gli altri dj set  egli eventi già annunciati, a luglio '23, c'è una serie di eventi davvero da non perdere. Oltre a diversi eventi legati al Sottosopra Fest, ecco due dj set scatenati per Popfest - People on Pleasure: il 20 luglio arriva Timmy con la sua tromba, mentre Acraze arriva il 27 luglio con i suoi ritmi irresistibili. 

Riassumendo, l'estate targata Praja Gallipoli e Musicaeaparole è tutta da vivere, ovviamente in Salento.

Everyone is busy Preparing for Aliyaa birthday. Selviya and Selena manage to distract Aliyaa by going shopping with her.

“So.. i heard that boutique is making a huge discounts wanna go there?” Selena asked, while pointing toward the shop

“Sure why not!” Selviya says in excitement

“I guess..” Aliyaa mumbled

The girls went to the shop. And its amazing and wonderful

They took their time shopping while considering about Aliyaa birthday party.

The girls Searched the whole shop. And they’re done from it.

Unlike Aliyaa who Found beautiful things in it and she decided she will buy something

Selena and Selviya are waiting for Aliyaa to finish from her shopping. She did she paid and they all got out

“I’m just asking what do you find in that shop?” Selviya asked

“I found some pretty things.” Aliyaa replied to her

Selviya took up her phone and start messaging someone hastly So Aliyaa wouldn’t see her.

{Conversation}

Selviya;- everything ready?

Arouj:- Yes! We just need to lure her in!

While messaging Arouj to tell him about the party. Subzero unexpectedly Called her. She answer the call

“Hey honey. How are you!” Selviya asked him

“I’m fine but the question is where are you?” He asked her. Impatiently

“Honey i’m in a middle of an important thing, i’ll call you when i’m done!” She says, seriously which shocked him

“What is it more important than to stay with your boyfriend?” He asks annoyed

“Will… its really important! See ya!” She says then hung up the phone on him.

She went to the chat between him and her to message him

Selviya:- its Aliyaa’s birthday today Thats why i couldn’t tell you!

Subzero:- ooh.. okay!

Selviya:- i’m trying to distract her so that they can finish the decorations and such

Subzero:- tell me if you need anything! Ooh and if your done with the distraction tell her i said happy birthday to her.

Selviya:- Okay!

“Now can we go to the palace? I need to relax and have a coffee and sit in my favourite chair.” Aliyaa said annoyingly

“Sure sure! We can go back!” Selviya uttered, Selena nodded

While they are in their way to Virginia palace. Selviya was texting Hadi and Arouj again

Arouj:- we’re ready just lure her in as i said!

Hadi:- yup! Soon we will start operation happy birthday for mama

The girls reach the hall, it was dark. Suddenly there is a noise of people shouting and The Decorations bomb popper.

“Happy birthday! Happy birthday to Aliyaa!” They said, singing happily to her

Unexpectedly a group of another people sings!

It wasn’t Arouj, Hadi and scylla. But they were Hanzo and Takeda and younger Aliyaa. And the Lin-kuei gang

Both subzero, Both Bihan, Smoke and cyrax too

“So the whole gang is here right? PERFECT!” Aliyaa Uttered loud.

“Happy birthday koibito” Hanzo congratulated her. And kissed her in the cheek.

“Thank you honey!” She kissed him back on the cheek

When she saw younger Aliyaa handing her a gift she squealed.

“Ooh! Its your birthday too! So this is for you!” Aliyaa muttered and gives her a gift to her.

“Th-thank you!” She sweetly reply

“Happy birthday ali!” Takeda says,

“Happy birthday mum!” Hadi congratuled her.

“Thank you both!” Aliyaa answers them

“Happy birthday from the Lin-kuei” the grandmaster Says as her gives Aliyaa an ice rose in a glass globe Similar to the beauty and the beast one.

“Thank you Kuai Liang” Aliyaa thanked him

“Wait a second how did you come here?” Selena asked, pointedly

“We followed Scorpion here.” The Lin-kuei gang replied

Another person comes and it was the younger Scorpion/Hanzo Hasashi

“Thank you for attending the party” Aliyaa added.

“Ooh.. um.. happy birthday to you?” Younger Hanzo Says embarrassed..

“Thank you! Again” Aliyaa uttered

“Happy birthday Aliyaa!” Smoke and Cyrax chimes together

“Thank you!” She replied while smiling to them

They celebrate the party with her, Eating cakes and telling beautiful stories and Situations happend to them

Aliyaa remembers the moment when she was sitting with Heynois. Celebrating the birthday and vowing to hunt her Father’s killer. In her birthday cake there was a Candle representing a Shepherd with two Sheeps besides him.

Before eating and cutting the cake. Aliyaa holds the candle in her hand. Everyone is looking at her and the candle it seems strange. But Beautiful

Aliyaa gently put the candle on her cake. And sat quietly in front of her cake. They remembered why the candle looks strange and yet unique. Its a reminder of her past. And her present and her future. Its connected to her story.

“Father… Remember the time were we used to celebrate together? It’s were beautiful and magical moments. I cannot forget it. I hold it deep in my heart. But it been centuries now. And I lost you centuries ago too. Father .. know this i still love and remember you. I know that you will be upset because i chose vengeance over Forgiveness. But i don’t regret this at all. I pray to God that he have mercy you father and bless your soul.” Aliyaa says her speech in a way that made everyone affected. Everyone is tearing their eyes out. She says the speech with love and hope that he can hear her. With a heavy heart and eyes full of tears she blows the candle.

“Thank you everyone” Aliyaa says as she wipes her tears. She is so happy. Unlike her previous birthday’s that she spent alone. Then with heynois when she met him and then with Arouj when he is reborn into a good man. The. With Hadi when he found him and Took care of him and raised him as her son.

Then with Eevie and derek when they become friends and allies. Then with Selviya when they become like a family. And then with Hanzo and Takeda when they Met her and she stayed in the Shirai Ryu for couple of months.

And with with her new friends from Lin-Kuei. How strange can life be?

This chapter is ended officially and happy birthday to Aliyaa from the author 🤍🎂🎉✨

[humansofnewyork]

“She’d always say: ‘My guardian angel is getting tired.’ There were so many close calls. She’d go skydiving, and scuba diving, and ski double black diamonds. Once she got lost in subzero temperatures while cross country skiing.  Another time she missed her landing zone while skydiving, and got tangled in a tree above an angry bull. My friends used to joke that I was a ‘mama’s boy,’ but it never bothered me. I was proud of it. And my friends loved her too because she had so many stories. But more importantly to me, she was always there. I was such a sensitive kid. I felt things really deeply, and I still do. If I have an argument with someone, it sits with me for awhile. I’ll withdraw. And brew. But Mom could walk into a room and know exactly what I was feeling. She was my entire world growing up. And she became my best friend. That’s why it’s been so hard to process. I was in the living room when I got the call. It was my Dad, and he said: ‘Your mom has been missing for eight hours.’ She’d been scuba diving in Mexico, and apparently she never came back to the boat. I told my dad not to worry.  I said: ‘We’ve been here before.’ But my mouth went dry. My heart dropped into my stomach. And the moment I hung up, I turned to my wife and started crying. That night I woke up out of my sleep, and I knew that she was gone. A few weeks later my wife gave birth to our first child. It was the most exciting day of my life, but it was bittersweet. Because Mom wasn’t there to share it. But I try to parent the same way she did. I feel her presence in the day-to-day stuff. And she still comes to visit me sometimes. Some people don’t believe in that, but I have these dreams. Sometimes I’ll kinda see her, but usually it’s more of a sense. And I’ll wake up so heartbroken that it wasn’t real, and I’ll start crying. But I’m grateful for the dreams. Even though they’re hard to deal with, I’m grateful that I can still feel her presence in some way. When I was a little kid, and I was having a real hard time, she used to come lie down next to me. She’d say: ‘How’s it going bud?’ Or something simple like that. But mostly she’d just lie there. And that was the only thing I needed.”

[spiderling-space]

Ok- Last request for the time being- I swear XD The staff of NRC reacting to their usually cold s/o (or aloof if that's the proper term I think-) turning incredibly motherly to a lost child/ren (if that's possible-) that had approached them, at first thinking that they were their parents. The child will most likely cry or be down upon realizing that they weren't and Mama Reader be there to comfort them- How do they react? HCs Format please UwU That's all- Thank you XD

You’re such a thot for NRC staff xD Aren’t we all though? Asdfasd

Imagine the reader at any age you want as long as it is above 18

Dire Crowley

Dire has 0 skills, if not subzero, with children. The kid started to cry harder when he asked where his mom is, or more accurately he yelled.

Dire didn’t expect his aloof girlfriend to handle the situation this good.

(Y/N) pats the kid on the back and tries to calm them down while shutting Dire up.

When she calms down the kid and helps them to find their parents, Dire starts wailing because he found the scene very touching.

Dire might hint that he would like to see her treat their children the same way.

🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶

Divus Crewel

Divus is surprised to see his little puppy having a motherly side to her. He smirks as he thinks of the endless possibilities.

He now knows the little puppy would be a good mama puppy one day.

Divus is such as tease so he will tease (Y/N) about this until the day they are having children.

It is a manly thing to help a person and especially a child in need but (Y/N) acts before him.

Seeing his usually indifferent girlfriend act motherly towards a lost child and comfort them until their parents come makes him think of the future.

A future in which Ashton and (Y/N) have 5 children and they both take care of them. After all, it is a manly thing to do care for his children as much as the mother does. He even plans a training schedule for his kids.

Depending on how long they are together, Ashton might ask (Y/N) to marry so they could start the future he thought of. That is, of course, if (Y/N) wants that many kids too.

📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚

Mozus Trein

Mozus isn’t surprised at all since he is the same way with children.

He wishes he met (Y/N) when he was younger, raising his sons alone.

Lord knows he needed someone who is firm yet caring when Anasthasius and Driscoll were growing up.*

👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

Sam

Sam considers himself too young to marry and have children or adopt them but he will keep in mind that (Y/N) has motherly tendencies.

Until that time comes, Sam wants to utilize their motherly side to handle his adorable crocodile. Maybe he will even let her deal with some of his friends from the other side. They can get wild sometimes and a mother’s touch might keep them in line.

-----------------------------------------------------

Twisted-whimsies and I created OCs for Trein’s sons. Here are some insights for them Headcanons Art #1 Art #2 Art #3

Honestly, Sam feels like someone who would have an alligator/crocodile as a pet. He is wild~

Some more zutara steambaby head canons nobody asked for (long post ahead):

They have 3 children. Zuko and Katara made sure that they are all competent fighters so that they know how to defend themselves but combat isn’t their favourite thing to use their bending/skills for. This is primarily because they’re peace time children. They got to have the childhoods their parents deserved but didn’t get T.T 

Izumi

Izumi is the oldest. She has Katara’s eyes and hair texture, but everything else is all Zuko. She is a firebender with blue flame who uses her bending primarily for healing. As future Fire Lord (who eventually helps transition the Fire Nation into a democracy) she is able to see the Fire Nation with “new eyes” (hence her mom’s blue eyes) and shows her people that there is so much more to firebending than death and destruction (hence, her using her bending primarily for healing).

She is closest to Katara, often accompanying her mother in her hospital visits or visits to the villages. She is also the most like Katara personality-wise, her younger siblings teasingly call her “mom jr.” She wanted to be a waterbender and was extremely upset when she first started fire bending. She accidentally gives her little sister, Kya, a minor burn while they were playing. She was absolutely mortified and asked her parents if Uncle Aang could take away her bending. 

With the help of her father and Druk she eventually comes to embrace her bending. She loved her element all the more when she discovered she could use it to heal. It started off with her heating towels to help with Katara’s cramps when she was pregnant with her youngest child. On a trip to the South Pole, she helps save the life of a toddler who fell into subzero waters by keeping him warm with her touch. Eventually, she learns to master lightningbending well enough to control the voltage of the electric current to help restart people’s hearts (the same technique which saved her little brother’s life).

Kya

3 years younger than Izumi, Kya is the family’s goofball and artist. She loves making her family laugh and is Zuko’s theatre buddy. She loves cuddling with her dad and they often spend time in the library together, reading lines of their favourite plays to each other and reenacting scenes. 

She is the spitting image of Katara but with Zuko’s nose and hair. She is a waterbender and incorporates her bending into her art. She makes beautiful ice sculptures and often makes use of her bending in her dance performances (think Swan Lake with lots of water/ice bending involved). 

She travels all over the world on Druk when she’s older and helps revive the arts in the Fire Nation. Dancing, music, and theatre just explode in the Fire Nation because of her influence. She also helps foster harmony between the 4 nations by establishing Art Festivals where people from all nations can showcase their art and perform dances incorporating their bending. 

Initially, Zuko and Katara planned for Kya to be their last child as Katara almost died because she hemorrhaged pretty bad when she was born. 

Kallik

5 years younger than Kya, Kallik is their only son. He is a non-bender. He is all Zuko. The only physical trait he got from Katara is his wavy hair which he wears in a wolf tail. 

Zuko and Katara didn’t plan on having kids after Kya. One day, Kya and Izumi asked them when their baby brother was coming. Confused, Zuko and Katara asked them where on earth they got the idea they were having baby brother. They explained that they’ve been praying and giving food offerings to Agni, Tui, and La for months to give them a baby brother. (For my Filo friends out there, this bit was inspired by the movie Four Sisters and a Wedding HAHAHA). Katara is able to convince Zuko that it’s been a long time since Kya was born and her body could probably handle one more pregnancy. They had trouble conceiving though. There were many moments when Zuko would just hold Katara as she sobbed wondering why she wasn’t pregnant yet.

He didn’t have a heartbeat when he was born. Zuko/Iroh (I haven’t quite settled on this yet) used lightingbending to restart his little heart. This is why he’s named Kallik (lightning). His older sisters dote on him and fell in love with him the moment he opened his golden eyes.

He is a total mama’s boy and was quite timid as a child. He is a master of the dao swords like his father. He is just as angsty as Zuko and being the only non-bender was hard on him. His family always reminded him that they love him. His sisters tell him about how hard they prayed to the spirits for him and his parents let him know just how hard they fought to have him with them. 

He grows up to become a historian and an academic. He learns about the history of the four nations and helps to correct the narratives constructed by his ancestors. He travels all over to learn the history and culture of each nation and is often consulted by his father and older sister on foreign policy.

O Tiger’s Heart

“O tiger’s heart wrapped in a woman’s hide!” -William Shakespeare, Henry VI, Part III

___________________

“Tell me something.”

Ziva looks up, raising her eyebrows, and closes her journal. “What do you want me to tell you?”

Tony shrugs. “I don’t know. Something.”

“That is a very vague request, Tony.”

“I’m sure you’re up to the task. You tell Tali stories all the time. I want to hear one I’ve never heard.”

Ziva’s lips twitch. “Are you a six-year-old girl, my love?”

“If I say yes, will you alleviate my boredom?”

“Maybe.”

“Okay, then. Yes, I’m a six-year-old girl. Now tell me something.”

Ziva laughs and considers him for a moment, setting aside her journal entirely. “Alright. Did I tell you about who I met while searching for Sahar?”

Tony gives her a quizzical look. “If you’re going to tell me you met Gibbs, I’m already aware of that, sweet cheeks. Actually, I’ve met him, too.”

Ziva whacks his chest. “If you are going to interrupt with sarcastic comments, I might as well not tell you anything.”

“Fine, fine, I’ll behave!” Tony sits back and gives every appearance of waiting eagerly... this quarantine must really be making him crazy, if he’s so desperate for entertainment. “So who did you meet?”

“I met a tiger.”

“A—wait, what? A real tiger?”

“A Siberian tiger, yes.”

“Where!?”

“Where do you think, Tony? In Siberia.”

“The sarcasm isn’t really necessary, Ziva.” He’s grinning, though.

“Sarcasm? I was simply answering your question.”

“Okay, so, Ziva ‘Not-Sarcastic’ David-DiNozzo, you met a tiger. Is there a story that goes with that or is that just a fun, vaguely terrifying-sounding fact?”

Ziva wrinkles her nose. “I received intel that Sahar might be in the northeastern reaches of Russia, meeting with an accomplice. I followed the lead, of course, and though I did not find Sahar, I ran into a fully-grown tiger in the forest. It was very cold—Siberia is not the best place to visit in winter, I think—and she nearly blended in with the trees, she was so still. You would not think an enormous orange tiger would be difficult to spot in a snowy forest, but you would be wrong.”

“Was it scary?”

“No.”

“Come on, Ziva. I know you’re fearless and all that, but that’s a pretty big cat. I think it could probably take even you down.”

“It is the largest cat in the world, Tony. And yes, she could have taken me down if she wanted to, but she did not.”

“You couldn’t have known she wouldn’t. And on that subject, how did you know it was a female?”

“She had a cub with her. And I just... knew.” Ziva shrugged. “She looked at me and I looked at her, and then we each continued moving.”

“Why d’you think she didn’t attack you?”

“Kindred souls, I suppose, or at least equal threats. She was trying to keep her child safe, and so was I.” 

It’s somehow easy to picture—Ziva, wrapped in furs herself to ward against the subzero temperatures, her hair wild and curly like the warrior she is, locking eyes with an enormous cat in the forest and garnering its respect. “You think she just... knew?”

“Think about it, Tony. Where does Gibbs’ gut instinct come from? How does a parent know when their child is in danger? Why should kinship between an animal and a human be any different?”

Tony thinks about this for a moment and nods. “Could be it... or she could have just been afraid of you.”

Ziva laughs. “Think what you want, Tony. I know what I saw and what I felt.”

“I guess they say that’s when animals are at their most dangerous, right? When their young are around? I know you would do some incredible things to make sure Tali was okay... in fact, you already have.”

“As have you.”

Tony leans in to kiss her briefly before glancing behind them at their little cub asleep on the couch. “Glad you’re on our side, mama tiger.”

He can’t help but think that for the several years she spent forcibly separated from her baby, she was far more dangerous than a true tiger could ever be. And, really...

She still would be, if anyone messed with Tali.

⏪ P J’s PokéAni Rewind 2019

Hello, yes I’m still alive for those wondering or care at all :] Just been taking an indefinite leave from all my social media accounts (though you can still see me on Discord: PokémonJesus#2495) since mid-November going through some personal self-discovery journey...nobody misses me anyways. I’ll address that maybe in a future post, but let’s not make this about me...because RIGHT NOW it is time for my 4th annual year-end (and favorite) Tumblr tradition! 2019 was a stressful year for me personally (as you can tell I’ve been on and off  here), and I appreciate all of the friends I’ve made within this fandom who’ve stuck with me through it. It was also the year of the successful launch of my new PokéAni exclusive side-blog @pokeaniepisodes​ where I would do my weekly episode blogging/screen-caps/GIFs for the #pokeani tag. Within the span of 10 months, I would gain over 1,000 followers! Thank you to those who have followed me there as well. Obviously due to my current circumstances, that has been put on halt as well after Sun & Moon ended. Apologies, but I’ll be back in 2020 hopefully. As for PokéAni, it was bittersweet as we bid Alola farewell with the Sun & Moon series ending heading into the next generation series. If you’re curious to hear what I have to say about the new series, well here’s your post! The Pokémon anime has officially wrapped up for this year with Ash & Go in the Hoenn region earlier today, in where he WON another tournament showing Go how it’s done! But now, it is time to highlight some of the best episodes (this post will be following the original Japanese release dates, but will still be using the English/game dub names for a universal understanding by all) I personally found noteworthy from each month. Without further ado, let’s take a look back at what the Pokémon anime had to offer in 2019. 1, 2, 3. LET’S GO!

JANUARY - Hello Hapu

The Poni Island adventures begin! And also, the road to Ash’s final grand trial to complete. This mini-arc started a very fun series of character-centric episodes among the main cast and their Pokémon while they were in the island without Professor Kukui’s guidance. From Sophocles’s Charjabug evolving to a Vikavolt, and Lana’s Popplio evolving to Brionne (plus getting Primarium Z!). But the highlight out of all of this was the character arc of the soon-to-be Poni Island Kahuna, Hapu! She was a stubborn trainer who didn’t want to interact with anyone or battle Ash. She eventually opened up to him and his friends slowly after getting back her stolen radishes from Team Skull (the first appearance of Plumeria as well). She was a key figure on the class’ expedition throughout  Poni for their respective research projects, while Tapu Fini and her late grandfather keep an eye on her progress. Eventually when she did became Kahuna, Ash finally had his rightful battle with her for a grand trial. She didn’t gain only a new set of confidence, but a new set of friends too.

FEBRUARY - Mama Mallow makes us cry

As the group continues doing their personal research projects in Poni Island, and after Kiawe clears his own trial with Tapu Fini, we get a feels trip to Mallow’s past. Thanks to Tapu Fini’s mysterious mist that allows people to see the departed, Mallow relives her childhood days with her mother. We not only get a teary backstory of what Mallow said to her ill mother before passing away, but also Lillie & Gladion’s attempt to see their “deceased” father, Mohn. Mallow seeking proper closure, finally reunites with her mother in the mist as they spend as much time catching up with one another ever since their improper argument at the hospital. We then discovered that Bounsweet was actually caught by her mom before gifting it to Mallow as her first Pokémon...who is now a fully evolved Tsareena. There were a lot of good moments like seeing the Stoutland that (as if this wasn’t enough of a feels trip) help raised Ash’s Torracat when it was still a Litten, and that Mohn is nowhere to be found in the mist meaning that he’s still alive! Stoutland’s final gift to Torracat was upgrading its Ember move to eventually learning to use Fire Blast. But the most important thing about this episode, is that it teaches us to be grateful to our parents (or those who raised us) even when it looks like they don’t seem to care, we misunderstand and overlook how much they truly care for us. Never take things for granted and live in the moment. In the end, Mallow’s mom gave her one final gift before going back to the afterlife, a Shaymin to care for. Thanks mom :’)

MARCH - Ya boi is never too late!

All we can just say when he was first announced was...finally...or about time! Team Skull boss Guzma’s long awaited appearance in the Pokémon anime happened when he and the rest of his gang visited the Pokémon School to confront Professor Kukui. After hearing about the official announcement that the first Alola League was going to happen, Guzma is determined to eliminate everything for what it stands for. Meanwhile, everyone in Alola wanted to get in on the action for an opportunity to become a champion, that includes Ash who stood up to Guzma for Kukui. After wiping the floor with Team Rocket, Guzma battles Ash taking interest with his utilization of the Z-Power Ring. Despite newly perfecting Corkscrew Crash, it had almost no damage on Guzma’s Golisopod. As the battle rages on, Golisopod’s Emergency Exit activates when Pikachu starts to get an upper hand. A stubborn Guzma not wanting to admit what really happened leaves and berates Ash as he sends a clear message on his vow to destroy the Alola League. Guzma and Kukui went face-to-face before Team Skull left, and it’s clear that his intentions were more personal. There’s always a reason behind of it all, and Guzma was seeking for vengeance.

APRIL - Mohn is missing

After discovering that their father may still be alive (as mentioned in my February highlight), Lillie and her family are searching for answers with the help of the Aether Foundation. Lusamine then confesses to her kids about an Ultra Wormhole incident that caused Mohn to disappear. As they continue to get more info, they stumble upon Mohn’s room and discovered two very important treasures. A Z-Ring which he used to wear, and a Magearna that doesn’t seem to be responsive. Lillie decides to wear and use her Z-Ring until her father is found, while also finding away to bring the Magearna he left back to life. With the blessing of Kahuna Hala and her friends’ support, she deicides to finally put her Icium-Z to good use by practicing the Subzero Slammer Z-move with Snowy now that she finally has a Z-Ring at hand. She fails at her first attempt, it won’t keep her down from practicing until she gets it right. The episode ends on a very touching note with Lillie reading an entry from her father’s old journal revealing that Mohn did in fact bought an inactive Magearna in hopes to restore it to give it to his one and only daughter as a gift <3

MAY - Lana’s lure of fate

In one of my personal favorite episodes (totally not because she’s my favorite and the best girl), I got shut up for even doubting that her Brionne would evolve this soon (don’t you just hate it when anime previews spoil?). Lana finally decides to make her dream a reality (referenced in previous episodes) to hook a Kyogre at sea! With the help of Ash, they were able to track down a Kyogre that suddenly appeared while the class were fishing. When they discovered that the Kyogre had been poisoned by Pokémon hunters, Lana decides to cure it with an antidote hooked to a special Misty lure she had been given while Ash deals with the troublemakers. Even after curing the poison, the hunters attempting to catch Kyogre made it rage even more. Lana tries to save it by trying to hook him out of the Hunter’s capturing device. She was successful in freeing it but ended up dragging her to the ocean rapidly as a storm develops from an angered Kyogre. And it was at that moment when Brionne wanted to save her  trainer from getting dragged all over, evolving to Primarina was the only way to end this perfect storm. Primarina’s singing calmed down Kyogre, as Lana lifts up her rod graciously with Kyogre in the sky. Dream achieved, and a moment has been made with new sea friend. Now when Lana tells this story, it’s actually the truth and there will be no one laughing now! Later on another episode, Lana & Primarina would learn how to use and master the Oceanic Operatta Z-move, and it’s all thanks to the hook of this Kyogre. I’m sure Misty is proud as well :)

JUNE - Kid Kukui and Little Litten

There’s a Celebi in this episode...you know what that means. Back to the past! While Ash was training with his Pokémon for the Alola League, a Celebi stumbles upon them and transport Ash & Torracat to the same place where they were at, but only many years ago. They meet this little kid that had Litten with him and it was clearly obvious that his was younger Kukui and his (The Masked Royal’s) Incineroar who hasn’t evolved yet. However, Ash still had no idea he was in the past and treated little Kukui like any other kid he’d meet traveling. The two bond throughout the episode with their similar attitude when it comes to battling, and Ash gladly guided the little kid on executing Z-moves with their Pokémon. The two even worked together assisting a Totem Trevenant in sheltering all the nearby Pokémon as a rainstorm approaches. Thanks to the good heart of Ash helping out everyone, he receives his own Firium Z from the same Trevenant that gave Kukui his Firium Z. He eventually gets back to his timeline where it seemed to have an effect on the present day Kukui. If it wasn’t for that meeting, maybe the professor would’ve had his vision of forming an Alola Pokémon League if it wasn’t for that mysterious older boy he met with his Torracat. A Pokémon time paradox? Maybe...but what I loved about this story is that it repeats itself for the next episode but from the perspectives of Ash’s Pokémon that were left behind in hopes of finding their trainer. Really reminds me of that time Pokémon got separated from their trainers during S.S. Anne arc in the original series, only difference is that the perspectives of the trainers and Pokémon were happening at the same time. But you gotta love a pure whacky Pokémon adventure! Pretty much like a Pikachu short you see before movies.

JULY - Let the League begin!

The moment everyone has been waiting for...the Alola League has officially begun! With everyone prepared to unleash their Z-Power, it’s time for the qualifying round to start. Unlike previous Leagues, this starts off with a free-for-all Battle Royal with a total of 151 competitors but only 16 will advance to the next round. Most of the trainers in this League are recognizable characters if you have watched Sun & Moon in its entirety up to this point. From Mina to Kahili to Acerola to the entire Team Skull gang to Hiroki and even Pikala, every Alola character is here! While all the Island Kahunas serves as the officials for the event. It was fun way to kick-off a 4-month long League arc and they couldn’t have it done any other way. The top 16 has been decided and it gave us good match-ups to follow in the next couple of episodes such as, Mallow vs. Lana, a childhood friend clash which also tests Mallow’s courage in battling. Our favorite Team Rocket duo in disguise facing off against one another (can’t remember when was the last time we saw that). A sibling battle and a trial on how far Lillie has gone as a Pokémon trainer facing off against her strong big brother, Gladion. And of course, the friendly birby rematch between Ash and Hau. The line-up of matches is stacked! I could not remember how hyped I was for this long-awaited League arc. Some battles might’ve been short and quick, but every participant mattered! How can you not love the Sun & Moon series?

AUGUST - The Alola Final Four

And then, there were four. In the semi-finals bracket, we first have Gladion facing off against Kiawe who defeated Acerola and bested a friend in Sophocles. He’s pretty much the dark horse in this, but he’s been working hard all series with his battling to get to this point. As Lillie and Mimo (Hoshi) cheer on their big brothers, it was Gladion who got the upper hand and the two exchange in a very meaningful handshake of sportsmanship. Meanwhile on the other side of the semi-finals, Guzma, who blasted through Ilima and Lana, getting his rematch with Ash seeking for retribution after his soft defeat the last time they faced off. It was a clash of personalities as the Team Skull boss vows to get to Kukui by destroying someone who resembles him in Ash and get a big W for his fellow Team Skull outcasts. This battle was more than just advancing through the semi-finals but also the integrity of what the League will become if Guzma is successful in his ploy. Guzma was very aggressive during this match to the point of even scolding his Golisopod. But when you mad, you don’t focus well and that became Guzma’s downfall eventually resulting in his defeat against Ash who battled with his heart. Guzma had to learn the hard way, maybe softened his mindset a bit, but even after losing Plumeria and the rest of the grunts still want to be by his side improving their own skills in battle to be like their fearless leader. You never see a heartwarming ending for a “villainous” team in Pokémon before, but I think Team Skull had their own happy ending.

SEPTEMBER - The “Curse” is finally broken

Ash vs. Gladion. Here we go, the League finals to determine the inaugural champion of Alola. I mean I already made solo-post last September about how BIG this episode/moment was for our capped hero. Their rivalry has been amazing from the get-go. From their first meeting at the beach by Kukui’s place with a feisty Rockruff that wanted to battle, to the Manalo Stadium battling for a prestigious championship title with Ash’s Lycanroc fully controlled over its rage with dirt. It wasn’t a full battle, but 3-on-3 showdown served us one heck of battle! It may not be considered the best by many, but it was still an amazing and fun bout between two trainers who promised each other to meet in the finals of the big stage. The laugh they shared, the flashbacks that was shown to us (with the awesome Type: Wild! music playing in the background), and the storytelling of who wants it more makes you get to the edge of your seat, cheering for Ash to finally win a major Pokémon League. Ash’s newly evolved Melmetal showcased it’s new strength but still wasn’t able to beat Gladion’s  Silvally. Then, when Zoroark and Pikachu knocked each other out, it was the 1v1 Lycanroc battle that really put this friendly and competitive rivalry full circle.

Ash has NEVER defeated Gladion...until this moment. He’s been training for this, and it finally paid off. The two Lycanroc’s took no prisoners and went back and forth with one another. In the final blow of that match, Gladion’s Lycanroc used Counter against Ash’s Lycanroc that was charging towards it, but then our big brained hero fights back with their own Counter attack. Never have I heard of Countering a Counter in the Pokémon universe, but using it in this one moment nobody expects, it was the HYPEST way to swerve fans from almost losing the match but ultimately gave an epic counterattack that would knock out Gladion’s Lycanroc. And for the first time since the Orange League, Ash is a Champion. Only this time it is a way bigger deal! Mostly because this is a game-based series which has more meaning when it comes to the Pokémon League.

Old fans, new fans, and casual viewers a like were buzzing within 24 hours after this episode released in Japan that caught mainstream media attention. People who have never seen a Pokémon anime episode in their life (or a subbed episode for that matter) past the original series, wanted to see how this episode went down to see a childhood hero achieve a major trophy. This is how big of a pop-culture icon Ash & Pikachu was among many generations of fans since the show’s launch internationally. This was truly THE PokéAni moment of 2019. Again, big congratulations to our Alola Champion, Ash Ketchum/Satoshi! Too bad Guzzlord had to ruin the closing ceremony afterparty... 

OCTOBER - A fiery full final battle

So after becoming Alola Champion, sending three Guzzlords back to where they came from, reuniting with Poipole who evolved into a Naganadel, and The Masked Royal’s identity publicly revealed as Professor Kukui ALL IN THE SAME NIGHT! We finally get our exhibition match between Ash and The Masked Royal, who would like to go under his real identity. This is the final battle, and the promised reward the first Alola Champion gets. This is honestly also reward to the fans giving us one final hoorah for the Alola region with a full 6-on-6 Pokémon battle! I believe this is the only full battle we got to see in Alola and it was definitely worth the anticipation and surprise. Kukui had a lot of secret Pokémon up his sleeve that the viewers don’t know about (unless you get spoiled by freakin’ Oha Suta), and it is also the first and only official battle that Naganadel will be part of under Ash’s team. So the excitement levels of this fun 5-PART episode battle were off the roof! Kukui had amazing Pokémon that he kept a secret, but what I do want to focus in this spotlight is the showdown between Incineroar and Torracat. Just like with the Lycanroc duel, these two have similar stories with Torracat never being able to beat The Masked Royal/Kukui’s Incineroar. Ever since it was still a Litten, the desire to battle strong opponents still burns inside. As the two fiery cats clash in this epic battle, both sides have the same intensity when receiving and taking attacks.

As the battle worn out, both Kukui and Ash activated their Z-Rings together to use Inferno Overdrive against each other. After a gigantic explosion from the Z-move collision it was Torracat who was the last Pokémon standing finally beating its personal battle rival. After a victory screech, I was surprised as everyone seeing it fully evolve into Incineroar. Unfortunately, that evolution took a toll on the newly evolved Pokémon and is unable to continue further. Rest well big kitty, you beat who you wanted to beat and deserve a good rest.

As if that wasn’t epic enough, in the final phase of this full battle, Tapu Koko steps in and serves as Kukui’s last Pokémon and even granting both parties to be able to use Z-moves once again. Fast forward, Ash and Pikachu finally defeated their first opponent when they first set foot in the Alola region with the Z-Ring Tapo Koko gave them in the first place. It clearly now knows that Ash was a worthy holder of using Z-Power and a Champion that everyone can look  up to. What a battle. What a series. Thank you Alola. Thank you Sun & Moon.

NOVEMBER - Pikachu Origins

Enter the next chapter. The new era of the Pokémon anime finally launched this in a very different way. The first episode basically serves as the prequel to the Pokémon anime series before Ash had set out on his quest to become a Pokémon Master. Long story short, we can Pikachu’s background story on how he came to be the loving mascot recognized everywhere on paper. I mean who would’ve thunk it? I just love the fact that we’re getting an origin story of how Ash’s Pikachu when it was still a wild Pichu. Although it wasn’t explained how Professor Oak ended up catching the little guy, Pikachu always had a good heart (you know despite rejecting Ash at first lol). The most adorable thing about this episode was the family bond Pichu temporarily shared with this little Kangaskhan family. The little guy was an outcast not really sure where to go or what to do except survive and find food. When that Kangaskhan picked him up as if it was one of its babies, and gained a new caring sibling in the process. It was a wholesome story of calling someone family even though there is no blood relation. Pichu was literally not their kind, but they still loved him as it was them!

Meanwhile, we get a little preview of our new characters from seeing their childhood and setting up the premise for them to cross paths with Ash in the future. The newest protagonist, Go, was a little know-it-all about Pokémon, and he sure bragged a lot of his knowledge on it during one of Professor Oak’s camp (in which Ash failed to wake up for). Along with his worrisome friend, Koharu, they spotted a Mew while going off course in Oak’s tour around their campsite. It would also be the saving grace of the lost baby Kangaskhan who accidentally fell off a cliff after attempting to play with the Mew. After seeing Mew’s psychic abilities, it was clear for Go that he needed to catch Mew one day. This is the initial goal that Go wanted to set out for when he’s old enough.

After the incident with his Kangaskhan sibling, Pichu had to re-think if he wants to continue being a part of a pack that he doesn’t even properly belong it in the first place. When the herd of Kangaskhan took shelter in cave during heavy rain, Pichu had to make a tough decision and leave his foster family behind while they were asleep because he knew that the mother Kangaskhan would not let go of someone who it sees as a child of her own. Pichu knew that was the only way, but despite his sad decision he was grateful for the happiness they provided for a lone wolf Pokémon that wandered in the wild looking belong somewhere. It was that same happiness that gave Pichu the strength to evolve to the Pikachu we all know today, and found a forever home with a certain tardy boy a couple of years later that they both formed an inseparable friendship.

DECEMBER - The Great Gigantamax in Galar

Of course, you can’t have a new series without showing off a new region?! As our “research fellows” Ash & Go continue their exploration in the Galar region learning more about the Dynamax phenomenon that causes Pokémon to grow bigger in size, they are about to be in for one gigantic dilemma. They had some trouble when they met a bunch of trickster Pokémon in those Nickit and a dirty Scorbunny trying to steal their food, but that wasn’t the last they saw of that Scorbunny. When they took the train to explore the Wild Area, Scorbunny secretly tagged along in hopes to be partners with Go after feeling a connection with the trainer during their first encounter. After MANY attempts of trying get Go’s attention, he finally notices Scorbunny after it kicks a rock to knock down fruit on top of a Snorlax they were observing (that hits Ash’s head first oof). Scorbunny attempts to get caught by Go, but he declined due to his vow for Mew to be his first catch. After the sad rejection, red lights then start to surround the Snorlax that ended up Dynamaxing it to Gigantamax Snorlax! This caused a big road blockage that affects a train line in that area. Ash, Pikachu, Go and Scorbunny decide to team up and move the Snorlax before the next train comes by to avoid a disaster from happening. Ash and Pikachu were able  to cut down a big fruit from the Gigantamax Snorlax’s body and pass it on to Go and Scorbunny to make sure he jumps (just like earlier from Scorbunny’s accidental fruit pick) for that fruit in time for the train to pass by without anyone getting hurt. It was a tough task getting all the way up to the belly of beast, but thanks the Double Kick boost Scorbunny gave that big fruit, Snorlax not only moved in time for the next train to stop by, but return back to normal (big) size.

Unfortunately, Scorbunny was also swallowed in that big gulp, but it was a good thing that Snorlax didn’t munch it all the way. After the teamwork Go felt with Scorbunny during all that, he decides to modify his dream a bit and wants Scorbunny to now be his first Pokémon catch. Both are happy to be with one another, and we all know this was going to be the start of wonderful friendship. With this addition to the group, the main cast for the new anime series is now fully-set. Let the true adventures around the Pokémon world begin!

Some honorable mentions…

2019 for PokéAni marked an end of an era, but a start of a new one too! No doubt one of the most impactful years the show has had in the world since the XY&Z arc. Besides the historic Alola League, we also saw the continuation of Brock & Misty’s trip to Alola (not to mention Brock & Olivia’s adorkable interactions together), the class’ crash-course golf lessons with none other than Kahili! Ash catching a rare Meltan that appeared out of nowhere, The Sparkling Trio of Mallow, Lana & Lillie uniting as Alola DrinKyun (’Refreshing Trio: Alola Idols’ in the English dub), Ash challenging Ryuki’s Kantonian Gym, the high-speed Vikavolt race, Mallow’s vision in opening her Pokémon café, Matori’s unexpected visit to the Team Rocket base in Alola, and let’s not for get about the Ultra Guardians finishing up their final missions in capturing the remaining UBs: Pheromosa and Kartana. And honestly, after seeing all of Sun & Moon, can everyone just agree that Kukui is the BEST Pokémon professor?!

Of course, how can I not mention the final episode of Sun & Moon? In what was probably one of the most emotional farewell episodes in the anime’s history. If you don’t have bias from the original goodbye with Brock & Misty in Johto, this would probably be the best one. It was executed perfectly with Ash’s class figuring out what to do in the future with Ash himself not sure what to do moving forward. Naganadel had to return back to its homeworld, the Rockets had to say leave their Alola Pokémon with Bewear as she sends them off one final time, Nebby returns to see Ash one final time, and Lillie decides to search for her father away from Alola after brining Magearna to life. With everyone deciding what to do, Ash heads back home to explore the world (which transitions to the new series) leaving all his Alola Pokémon behind in Kukui’s lab, while Rotom Dex decides to work for the Aether Foundation. The boat scene with Lillie was a good touch on how her character evolved thanks to Ash’s help, and the departing airport scene with Kukui, Burnet, and Ash group hugging was touching. Even Ash teared up as he gets in the air leaving Alola as his friends and Pokémon he left behind wave goodbye. If that wasn’t a good send off for the Sun & Moon series, Mallow’s Shaymin finally achieved its Sky Forme (which have her mother’s eyes...could be a touching symbolism that she was always watching her ;_;) from a Gracidea flower before taking off, AND ON TOP OF THAT, the final shot of the series no less, we find out that Professor Burnet is pregnant. Never in the history of this anime has ever done that to a major character in the supporting cast. The Sun & Moon series continues to break ground as one of the best Pokémon series.

Other than that, we got the new series (which I still wish we had a proper sub-title for -_-) giving us a taste of what to expect in the new Generation VIII era. Our newly appointed research fellows, Ash & Go are at Professor Sakuragi’s Institute helping with his research along with Mimey and Koharu helping out with the household chores. Lugia brought these two together, and are now living under the same roof. And, can we talk about Mimey?! I’m so glad a classic character from this anime is being used as a permanent supporting character for this series. Not to mention that he battled alongside Ash in the Hoenn tournament and won! It’s also refreshing to see updated animation within Kanto where they’re home base is at, and I absolutely cannot wait for them to go back to other regions with this fresh new art style. With Go’s goal to catch every Pokémon there is for him to index, he’s bound to meet Mew again one day! He’s literally every Pokémon games’ protagonist and I’m glad we have a main character like him who actually focuses on catching them all. As for Ash, he’s still our Ash carving his own unique path on his continuing journey to become a Pokémon Master because it’s more than being the strongest trainer and more than just catching Pokémon. I’m going to take his word for it! I don’t know if you noticed, but Go kinda looks up to him a bit due to his experiences in battle. Just look how shy he was just wanting to be his friend. You just gotta love it when they make Ash this mentor-type friend especially now coming off a huge victory in the Alola League becoming a champion.

Overall, the Sun & Moon anime gave us a variety of different set of stories every week leading up to the anticipated Alola League. Everyone had a story to tell building up to the Alola League, and just look at the list of episodes we’ve had this year that went back and forth with characters that get a main focus other than Ash (or even Lillie). Most of these episodes I’m talking about are either development for a Pokémon in their team evolving, or a perfecting a Z-move with their respective Z-Crystals. This shows much the writers care about each main character gets enough screen-time before they’re ready to take on the League with Ash. If you are still thinking on whether or not to continue/finish watching the series if you haven’t yet, I would still recommend to please watch until the end! It’s a really fun ride to sit through it all in my humble opinion, unless you want to just bolt straight into the League episodes only caring about Ash’s story. You do you. As for the new series, it will definitely pick up the pace sooner or later with the initial episodes are setting up to lead into something bigger. If you aren’t hooked in yet, definitely be patient because I’m expecting a lot of good opportunities for them to pull off in this cross-region based format. Sure it isn’t based 100% on the latest games in the franchise Sword & Shield, but that’s what separates the anime and the games. The anime is doing its own thing with an original story, but I’m pretty sure they will mix-in some of the interesting storylines and feature important characters from Sword & Shield every time they revisit Galar because it’s the new region on the block. They should feature/market a lot of episodes from all the new content Galar has. So I would definitely still keep my eyes on the Pocket Monsters series 👀

And there you have it! This post as long as it already is, so I’ll stop here. If you’ve read everything I had to say (maybe a few typos here and there lol), then thank you for your time! Feel free share your own favorite PokéAni moment 2019 with a reblog or a reply if you choose to do so. Thanks so much for an amazing year, and it’s time for us to GO to 2020. More moments await for us, and maybe even some surprises we might see since Ash is returning to previous regions he already visited in the past. See everyone in 2020 for the first full year of the new ‘Pocket Monsters’ series. Let’s go (with Go heh) and have some fun! Yes, I think used the word ‘go’ here too many freakin’ times lol

Happy New Year to all my followers, and the rest of the Pokémon fandom!
