Despite the "To Be Continued", this is the last we see of this mirror universe & Team Rocket just show up in the next episode like nothing happened. I know it's not the first time they've been a situation where escape is impossible, this might be the most extreme. A wizard did it.

Mirror universe Team Rocket doesn't show up until the very end and I feel like we were cheated out of seeing how a heroic version of them would look like beyond a gag at the end of the episode. Mirror!Meowth sounds like Dudley Do-Right & it's amazing.

I liked the detail that this mirror universe is one with the saturation & contrast are tweaked. Put more effort in this AU being different from the main reality than most multiverse stories these day.

I think Ash's mom once mentioned having a twin brother that she forgot about.

And Team Rocket are just randomly in this mirror dimension without an explanation. Like, I know they're bunglers but how they did bungle their way into another reality?

Oh hey, it’s this episode I once alluded to on the other site while watching Journeys. And honestly, it’s even more random than I thought. I was just looking up random plots to have Ash bring up. I didn’t expect it to be a Bizarro World plot with the AU Ash ended up in.

XY Episode 35 might have the most pointless Team Rocket appearance in the Gen VI anime. It felt like the writer couldn't think of a good cliffhanger going into the ad-break & threw them in just to be disposed of after like 3 minutes with no set-up.

Korrina was less a temporary companion for Ash & more like the temporary main character since the episodes while she was with Ash & co was her trying to master her Lucario after unlocking Mega Evolution. Kinda felt like Ash & Pikachu were side-characters in their own show.

I'm sorry, but is that a gotdang hovercart and they're showing it without any fanfare? I know the technology in this show was already odd in the second episode when video chats were treated as a common thing while dial-up internet was the norm when it aired, but still.

Apparently in the Japanese version, the episode title card would alter between Ash, Serena, Clemont, & Bonnie depending on who's the spotlight and for these next few episodes, Korrina would be added. Annoyingly, TPCi apparently didn't want that uniqueness for the dub.

Eh, 90% of anime has the most dramatic intense cliffhanger to end an episode followed by an upbeat ED. The whiplash is so common to the point it's become a meme. www.youtube.com/shorts/PUvnV...

Yeah, could do this with almost all of Team Rocket's plans, honestly.

Anyway, the next episode introduces Korrina. Hi, Lisa Ortiz, how's it going?

In case you're wondering, Team Rocket's plan was to trick Clemont into building inventions by claiming to be from a science institute when, of course, they end up using his work to steal Pikachu. And they didn't know how Clemont's inventions have a tendency of blowing up.

At least this episode isn't dumb enough to have them be locked up for this & instead just had Officer Jenny let them go with a warning. I feel like if this was Johto or Hoenn, it would've gone down that path.

Yeah, Ash, they do look like you...
If you & Serena were like a foot taller.
...
And if Bonnie didn't have a nose.
...
And if Dedenne was a Muppet.
...
And if Pikachu could float. What is this episode?

Aww, aw no, guys. I don't care if it's part of a plan to frame Ash, Serena, & Bonnie and isolating them from Clemont. But you're still taking it all in a weird area by doing this.
