A few were hard to pick between so some of these may be subject to change, but I'd say this is pretty accurate as of now.

This is my first anime Pokemon episode review.
I love everything about this episode. I love the fact that we have been introduced to a new character called Amelia that she has a character which no other rival had before this really confident but also really arrogant and calamitous attitude which of course has made Serena really nervous but I also love that Serena didn't got intimidated by Amelia and also performed really good. I also left the conflict between Serena and Palermo and that Hilaire mob tries to push the arena harder to get better and better but in VN.
Of course, I love the little details. For example, Serena's Sylveon was still worried and nervous about what happened in the last type of tripokalon and that Serena even much short even more that she develops that her character even developed more and that she takes responsibility for her pokemon, I love that. I also love that Ash even didn't really care about his last batch to finally enter the Kalos League and instead of that, he actually cared more about Serena that it's more important right now that Serena will take part in this masterclass try instead of aiming for 8th batch and that was beautiful.
The story was beautiful, everything more in the story was absolutely beautiful.The focus, of course Serena's fleurrh city showcase and the focus perfectly describes the situation of the story that Serena has a lot of conflicts with in this episode between Amelia between Palermo and also between herself because she also helps herself but of course, she's getting cheered up by her friends and especially by Ash because she gets motivated by Ash as attitude during the tripokalon and also the tripokalon and this was beautiful.
The Animation was Amazing. The Main animation focus was ,of course the free performance and although I really love how they animated these Rhyhorn turning section, the free performance is of course the main highlight of this episode. I loved how they animated Amelia's performance which was really crisply animated. It was perfect, it was shiny and this is how a performance should be and of course there was Serena 's performance which was really really well done. Serena's performance was also perfect. I've really also loved the length of both performances which were really good. Amelia's performance wasn't too short, and so wasn't Serena's and because of that, I loved this animation highlight.This episode was wonderful and perfect.

Mine is Serena's Freestyle Performance in Fleurrh Showcase!
I love the culmination of that performance. And the animation is Amazing! They moved the characters, the background and the camera all at the same time.
And even the line of sight is perfect.
I felt that this performance was the culmination of all Serena's previous performances.

Decided to fuse two witches
Also this
I don't understand why they both look sort of good
The chapter after this is the last chapter!
“Eevee?” Luke asked me.
“Your partner?” Josie asked that she laughed so hard. Scratch and Jaden started to laugh too.
“Look. Those are two Eevees. I recognize that one from anywhere.” Josie said that she pointed at Jupiter, “That one is the offspring of boss’s worst enemy.“
“Look if you want them you have to go through me.” I told them.
“All right. Brax! Use Fire charge!” Josie Yelled
“Hades, used bite!” Jayden Yelled.
“Luke! Use quick attack the other Eevee use tackle!” I called.
Brax hit Luke. But the other Eevee dodged Hades bite and tackled him.
“Good job!” I told the Eevee. She looked at me and smiled.
“Flamethrower!!!” Josie yelled and just like that the flame hit the Eevee and the eevee fainted.
“Crap it.” I said.
“Ve.” Luke told me.
“Do you have an idea?” I asked him.
Luke nodded so I nodded too.
He then looked at Brax And then looked at me and gave me a high five. He then went full speed at Brax and hit her so hard that she fainted and explosion happened in the background.
My jaw dropped and so did the twin’s.
“D-did you just do Veevee Volley?” I ask Luke knowing it was super rare and super powerful.
He nodded and smiled at me.
“H-Hades! Return!!” Jayden said.
“Brax! Return!! We are going to beat you later! Just wait and see!” Josie yelled as they all ran off.
I took the Eevee to the pokecenter.
“your Pokémon are all healed!“ Nurse Remedy told me.
“Thanks but, they are not my Pokémon.” I told her sadly.
“Oh. We’ll come again!” She called me as I walked out.
“I’m sorry.” I told Luke, “I was just mad and upset and hungry and cold. I’m sorry and I know you probably don’t forgive me.” I apologized.
“Ve.” Luke told me as he nuzzled me.
“Luke? Will you be my partner again?” I asked Luke.
Luke and Jupiter walked through the Forrest.
“Where are the Berries?” Asked Jupiter.
“Dunno.” Luke Replied.
“I’m glad you’re staying” Jupiter told Luke.
“Same. I’m just glad your dad allows me.” Luke said dislike chuckle. Jupiters face turned a little red and she looked at Luke.
“What’s that sound?” Asked Jupiter.
They followed the sound.
“You idiot! What makes you think that would’ve been a good idea!?” Familiar voice yelled at another.
“I didn’t know it was going to be blocked off by rocks! How was I supposed to know?” The other said.
Luke and Jupiter Walked over only to find the two team rocket members (BTW I changed Jayden and Josie‘s hair to where Jayden has dark red hair and Josie has light red hair) Jayden, Josie and their meowth: Scratch.
“look you both messed up. Just admit it and don’t be like your mom to where you won’t give in.” Scratch told the bickering twins.
“Tell that to him!” Josie and Jayden said The same time but Jaden said “tell that to her”.
“Oi vey.” Scratch sighed. “Huh?”
He then looked at Luke and Jupiter.
“Hey! Hey! You two, there are two Eevees over there!” Scratch yelled.
Hey, isn’t mo- I mean, boss looking for an Eevee?” Jayden asked.
“No. I think she’s looking for an Umbreon but it wouldn’t hurt to bring back two Eevees.” Josie replied as she brought out her Pokeball.
“Uh oh.” Luke said.
“Come on out, Brax!” Josie yelled as a Braixen came out.
“Let’s go, Hades!” Jayden yelled as his Houndour came out.
“Oh, Crap.” Jupiter said.
“Hey! That’s not fair!” I yelled.
Luke Looked at me with hope.
“Stay away from my Partner.” I told The twins.
“CHARGE!” I shouted and we ran down, shouting banzai as normal and ordered them to surrender “Duel me” A grunt said “Then we will surrender”. “Ok” I said grabbing my rifle, I was gonna use my bayonet against a sword. We battled for a few minutes when I flung the sword, stabbed him with my bayonet and he fell to the ground, I went over to the cage when one of them stopped me “The only reason we have these pokemon is because we are evacuating them” The grunt said to me, one of the Vaporeon looked at me, it was shivering, pleading for me to not belive him but I knew he was lying. I pushed him away and shot the lock open.
The door opened and the pokemon jumped out one by one and when they were out I started a fire so they could warm up. I glanced back and noticed one of them was still in the cage, she was unconsious and was covered in bruises, I ran into the cage and tried to wake it up, I turned around to the grunts, “WHICH ONE OF YOU DID IT! I shouted one of them stepped forward “it was me” The grunt stuttered “Thats it” I said revealing a button on my club, I held it down, it clicked a few times and fire flew out of the holes on the end. The Phox siblings both clapped as the grunt stood back. “Thats what I thought” I said cutting the flames.
“Pearl!” Via shouted running over and trying to wake her up “Wait you know her?” I asked Via who was starting to panic, “Yes she is one of my friends” She said panicing more “Wait Via stop panicing I know what to do” I said grabbing a first aid kit and ran to the Vaporeon, I noticed she was bleeding too. I applied the bandage and covered the wound, a few minutes later Pearl woke up “Wha- VIA! What are you doing here!” Pearl asked “Im with him” Via said pointing to me, “Come on lets get you to the campfire to warm up” I said “Ok” She said picking herself up and walking over to the fire.
Once we had escorted the pokemon back to the lake the Phox siblings and Indigo decided they would search on their own so they left and we were on our own again. We walked for a little while when we came across an area that was covered in water, not snow “Too deep” Via said climbing up my bag and sat with Milo as we traversed through the area when Burn jumped out “So looks like you walked into my trap” Burn said... To be continued
It was a quiet day. We were walking through a small path surrounded by trees when an arrow flew by, “DUSK!” I heard Via shout, I turned back to see Dusk hit by an arrow. He howled in pain as everyone crowded around him. “You guys, calm Dusk down, I will snipe the person who did this. I looked around and I found a grunt, a longbow in his hand, I looked through the scope and fired, the bullet hit the grunt in the arm and the grunt fled. I ran back to dusk and got some bandages out of my bag and wrapped them around the Rockruff’s leg “Ok Dusk I will get the bandage off in a few days, we need to stay here for a bit” I said to everyone
After a few hours I asked Dusk if he was feeling better "Yeah im ok" Dusk said and we set off. About an hour later a Glaceon and a Flareon jumped out, “Via!?” They both asked, “Mom, Dad!?” Via asked back. After Via introduced her parents to everyone I decided to take off my helmet, “Wait Hazza, you were the one who rescued Via and Dusk from the fire, Thank you” The Glaceon, know I know as Icicle said to me “Your welcome, it was really wait you were that Glaceon i saw” I said “Wait, you saw me?” Icicle asked “Yes you were watching from the rocks” I said, “Oh I was trying to get to her but it was too steep” Icicle said. The Flareon who I know as Blitz told Dusk that he told his parents that Dusk was safe. “Um mom?” Via asked Icicle “Yes sweetie?” Icicle asked back “Can I stay with him, he’s really kind and I want to spend more time with Ace” Via said “You know what, sure” Blitz and Icicle said Via gasped then she started thanking them and hugging them both “Ok Hazza, you know how to take care of Via, right?” Blitz asked “Yeah I got it” I assured them and they said goodbye and left.
Later the resupply came and this time I got Oreo a scarf that allows him to control the heat, a new helmet that still has the Zygarde 250 Night Vision Visor but has a radio attached and is more like a standard JCG helmet, I swapped my revolver for a trench raiding club and I got the new .306 Decidueye Semi, a semi auto version of the bolt action rifle, it uses clips instead of mags so I could hold more ammo and in general it was better and we set everything up to get some rest.
We all woke up to the radio, “What is the radio saying?” Mirage asked, I put the helmet on and it was one of my recon aircraft “Hazza, Hazza are you online? Where are you!?” I heard “Yes, Yes im online whats wrong?” I asked “There is a Team Rocket convoy carrying kidnapped pokemon, go deal with the problem” the recon told me “Roger that I will deal with it” I said gathering everything “Alright we got something to deal with come on” So everyone got up and followed me in the direction to the hill, we ran through the snow and parked ourselves at the hill nearby the road when I saw the convoy, they had kidnapped the entire Vaporeon and Eevee population from that lake and were taking them to the HQ when one of them dashed out of the trees, it was clearly searching for me but I was already there “This is horrible” Ace said to me with his powers, we all remained silent as a grunt approached the Vaporeon “Hey guys” He said grabbing the pokemon, it started thrashing to break free but failed “We got another one for the road” The grunt said walking back to the cage as the others laughed as he opened the cage and carelessly tossed the poor Vaporeon in, I signaled everyone to charge when I count to three, everyone nodded and we waited until the best time to strike. 30 seconds later I put up my hand and counted down. Three two one... to be continued
The helicopter landed on the snow as we jumped out and started our patrol. We were marking out some of the clearings so the helicopters can resupply us. When we entered a clearing I saw a Braixen and a Delphox, sitting alone, they both got up got up and walked over to me and asked for help. “Whats worng?” I asked “Some Team Rocket grunts kidnapped our trainer”, the Braixen said “Dont worry, I can help” I replied “What’s your name?”. “Inferno” the Delphox said “And im Mirage” “were siblings”, the Braixen added. Later we were walking, searching when I heard rustling. I turned around and bolted my rifle when an Nidoran popped out and quickly got scared and ran away.
Later the next day we were walking around when I saw a camera, it was from Team Rocket, I drew my revolver and fired, shattering the camera. “Ok we gotta get out of this area now they are probably sending men to get us” I said lowering my visor, turning on the night vision mode as it was getting dark and we left. “Alright” I said to everyone grabbing my shovel “lets stay here the night’. We all built our own shelters and fell asleep. In the morning I decided to name Eevee Milo and he liked it. Later we heard whispering, I got my .306 Decidueye, fired and a Team Rocket grunt ran off with her Vulpix. “We will get her!” The grunt shouted.
Later we found a radio tower that needed to be sabotaged, I noticed the grunts protecting it so i was gonna have to charge it. Fixing my bayonet on the end of my rifle and telling everyone what to do we ran at them, shouting “BANZAI!!!!” I didnt want to bayonet the grunts but if they attack I wont hesitate. We immedietly surrounded the grunts and they surrendered. “Great, the bushranger got us” I heard a grunt mumble “Thats actually a cool name thanks!” I joked leading them into the helicopter. “Now about the tower” I said grabbing my grenade and pulling the pin, “YEET!” I shouted, throwing the grenade. It got caught in the bars and it exploded, destroying the tower as we slipped into the forest.
Later I noticed someone following us from the shadows, was it the girl who wanted Via, we were about to find out. “Everyone, in the trees now!” I ordered and we got up and waited and she walked past. “Burn, when do we find them” I heard her Vulpix whine. “So, her name is Burn” I thought to myself. I gave the signal and we jumped down, I bolted my rifle, the Phox siblings ignited their sticks and my pokemon prepared for a fight. “What the” Burn said in confusion “Surrender, now” I said. Suddenly she threw down smoke canisters, as the area swamped with smoke and I ran to protect Via, about a minute of this the smoke cleared and Burn was gone, at least Via was safe. Later as we were walking I saw a small road leading to a caravan, hidden among the trees only a single light on... To Be Continued...
