Having the kids use Terastallization and still get wiped by Arboliva and Moltres really puts their skill level into perspective and makes the training arcs feel necessary instead of just filler

That new opening theme Only One Story is great, and it fits the vibe of the Rayquaza Rising arc perfectly as the Brave Olivine takes off again

I am so here for this new arc and seeing Perrin show up at the very end with that Kleavor was such a cool surprise but the best part was definitely Amethio and his team because seeing him actually value Zirc and Onia as friends instead of just tools makes his whole redemption path feel way more real and interesting for the future

Episode Context

A fresh start aboard the Brave Olivine as Liko, Roy, and Dot come back together with the Rising Volt Tacklers after their time apart. This episode leans into the warmth of reunion, trading high-stakes battles for character-driven moments that highlight how much the trio has grown. Expect a feel-good atmosphere with an undercurrent of anticipation, there's a clear sense that the crew is gearing up for something new. The pacing gives breathing room to the trainer-Pokémon relationships that make Horizons work, while weaving in enough unexpected wrinkles to keep things from settling into pure downtime. It strikes a comfortable balance between lighthearted camaraderie and the forward momentum of a crew ready to push into uncharted territory. A solid transitional episode that earns its emotional beats.
