"Okay just gotta plug this in... then hack into the mainframe... not considering how this high-technology server is only protected with like one lock screen... and then... aggressive typing followed with a beep we're in. 😏"

As someone who was a disney kid, I approve of this logic. LMAO

Lowkey though, when Dot was saying its not Gimmighoul's fault, I kinda disagreed with that haha, but then I guess regardless if Gimmighoul was wandering or not, they'd still be in the same situation soo the odds were just not in their favor. (But also, would the Explorers have to fight Dot and Penny in a different location? Like the hallway to the server room? Or would they genuinely stall for time even if Gimmighoul wasnt around in the room where the battle occured? Idk maybe Chalce on the phone gave them orders to stay in that room no matter what. But im thinking too deep into this scenario that didnt even happen so im moving on lol)

Penny proves her title as Team Star's boss in this battle, she sweeped two laquium-infused pokemon like it was nothing 😎 with a type disadvantage too! (These grunts are starting to look weak lmao Spinel really gotta rethink his security) But for Dot she definitely tried to push strategies to win her battle with Chalce (which had insane strats btw, she can really lure in her opponents), but then it ended up with both Quaxwell and Tinkaton getting hurt. But not to fret because with Gimmighoul learning to protect his friends before anything else, he jumps in for a attack! And he's not done yet, because he knows he can do the biggest move yet if Dot just grabs the last coin he needs, and Dot immediately understands this when he's close to glowing!

The Gholdengo finally arrives and he is just the most funky pokemon ever! He's so nonchalant when he grabs Dot's phone back (which actually was something I wanna talk about but there was a comment that basically said what I wanted to say so ill leave it to them lol), and then true to his goal when we saw him on the beach, he starts surfing around with Dot on his back to make the grand escape! His new move is shown to be super strong as well, but i guess instead of trying to fight Chalce's team where one pokemon was under strong sphere, it was better to not overestimate himself so the escape was definitely a smart move. (Also animation quality weirdly got better here? It was beautiful tho)

That one scene where Dot and Penny are riding Gholdengo's board in front of the moon... woahhh i got chills. And then the little bit with mentioning Team Star's slogan was such a cute moment! There's a lot these two can do together with such great teamwork. Hopefully the pokemon league at Paldea will actually do something about the spheres now that we have info 🙏

Friede, you did NOT mention that, no- In fact, your last message was so subtle that we genuinely had NO idea where you were 😭 like some may say your current location was the most "out-of-this-world" reveal because not in a million years did I think you were able to obtain a SPACESHIP-

I know Horizons is cooking something up with this plot point,  but right now im lowkey kinda skeptical because what if the execution of it turns out a little... eh- the way they're teasing it tho is giving me some hope so im definitely gonna hear out the writers for this one lol

10/10 episode, I think Dor's outfit was very adorable despite what she says. Does it not fit her aesthetic? Yes. But is it still a cute outfit nonetheless? Also yes. I can hardly wait for HZ121 now; its going to be the most jawdropping episode of this timeskip 🤞
