![]() ![]() was about each of the classmates and their Pokemon working together through their struggles and developing in their own way. Electrium-Z, Satopika-Z, Normalium-Z and now the Steelium-Z and he was naturally able to play a role in the earning of each of these new crystals that function for his entire move set. ![]() He picks out the Steelium-Z, this means that Pikachu has a Z-Crystal for each of his moves. The reward scene seals it, Satoshi allows Pikachu the agency of having a voice in what Z-Crystal he’ll be claiming from Hapu. It was only fitting that Satoshi finish this trial with the very first Z-Move he had ever performed, GigaVolt Havoc alongside his starter and partner Pokemon. This fight allows Hapu to fully respect and understand Satoshi’s ways as a trainer. The entire match would have been too easy with Mukuroh’s being able to easily avoid ground-based attacks, a type advantage and a wide array of attacks to take the horse down and Mukuroh has nothing to prove. ![]() The inability to use Electric-type moves also added the tension of putting Pikachu in an unfavorable position right from the start while allowing Hapu the opportunity gain control of the affair rather quickly. Hapu was extremely impressed by the innovation Satoshi and Pikachu brought as a team to her battle, from using Electro Web to save Pikachu from a Z-Move KO, to the usage of the surrounding seawater and terrain for a makeshift Soak attack (which Satoshi was inspired by while ironically enough playing and enjoying time with Pikachu), to using Quick Attack to maneuver around the field. and using Pikachu who she commented twice already as being a gutsy choice was the most fitting way to wrap this up. Satoshi has been a catalyst toward Hapu’s development throughout the Poni arc. Satoshi chose Pikachu because he’s putting full faith in his most precious partner Pokemon like how Hapu does throughout the battle with her own Pokemon. It would be very easy to counter with Mukuroh as Kaki already noted. Hapu said she would be fighting with her partner Pokemon, Banbadoro. The episode was about not just Hapu’s inauguration as an Island Queen but subtly Satoshi and Pikachu’s bond in a more battle-related light. I get the message behind it and what they wanted to convey. Especially when he was already defeated by her Goloog before she and Satoshi even formally met. I don’t think anyone expected Pikachu to be used against and succeed so well against a Ground-type specialist like Hapu. ![]()
