The Secret Sphere of Influence! (504)

Awesome episode!! First, the legendary trio and Dialga and Palkia get a mention. Seeing two Jennys is also great along with Gardenia! Glad to see Nando again as well. Plus, all the pokemon out, Pikachu and Piplup interaction, and cameos of Cassidy, Butch, J, and Team Galaxy equals one of the best D/P episodes. A great plot, imo with continuity! Can't wait to see where this leads to. (Also, Stunky is awesome!)

Can we please talk about the episode itself instead of wild theories with zero basis?

Well than maybe a rival in a different way. Not all rivals need to be collecting badges just to be Ash's rival.

I should have known that Team Galactic (Galaxy) would have to make an appearance in the anime at one point. I wonder if they will have the same intention of world destruction based on the info I looked up on the Wikipedia website. Of course (as always) I could be wrong.

Wait, but what did the grunts say?

**Crask** · 2nd June 2007, 1:01 AM

Is it just me, or did Brock start moping about Prof. Ivy when punk Jenny, asked about her? (i don't understand much jap) And that scene owned just for the fact that Croagunk laughed at his shame.

Same as the game, but with something that could be taken as a nod it to Arceus. (Ash asking who would have created Dailga and Palkia)

**09Murphym** · 2nd June 2007, 5:53 AM

does anyone know why butch and cassidy had a cameo in the episode?

No Butch and Cassidy do not have cemeo's in the episode, they just got mentioned by Ash in it.

**scizor08** · 2nd June 2007, 6:54 AM

This is a very cool episode..Meowth dressed as a Sunflora and Wobuffet looks like a robber..

**uber gon** · 2nd June 2007, 9:41 AM

Yay to Leaf Storm!!!

**ChaosMage** · 2nd June 2007, 10:24 AM

Jesus tap-dancing Christ! This episode and the one preceding it have cemented D/P as the absolute best saga EVER. Nando is a great recurring character, especially since grass-type trainers have never been all that well-respected in the anime. He's the first character ever whose been a gym battler and co-ordinator, and I'm sure that come the Grand Festival and League our Nando will truly shine, although Drew fans are probably a bit miffed. Surely he could have had a different signature pokemon?
Team Galactic appearing for the first time, as well as foreshadowing of J or even Cassidy and Butch returning... I'm in love. Pokemon has flip-flopped back over shark.

**Seijiro Mafuné** · 2nd June 2007, 12:06 PM

For the last time... Ash didn't mention anyone. Brock mentioned Cassidy and Butch and one of the Jennies mentioned J (though I think she was being more general, I don't know).

Yeah, she just mentioned that it could have been a Pokemon Hunter, nothing specificially about J. Same with Cassidy and Butch, it was just "some other Rocket members".

**MechaBulba** · 2nd June 2007, 12:53 PM

From, the episode pictures this episode looked confusing: MaSSES OF CHARACTERS, CAMEOS, Pokemon running around, random sunfloras.
But after reading the posts in thios thread its all starting to makle sense.

however 2 questions
1. What did Kanto, ganster Jenny have to do with anything? and was it here skunk?
2. About the space time story! In the anime Darkrai is somehow linked with the Palkia and Dialga story. Also like the games the trio of failry things are. Also its hinted that Arseus may also be in the mix. So what about Giratina? The 3rd equivilant of Palkia and Dialga

**Seijiro Mafuné** · 2nd June 2007, 1:19 PM

1. I don't know the details, but apparently the Viridian City Jenny was passing by and was on Nando's side. The Stunky belonged to the city's Jenny (who thought Nando was the criminal).
2. Darkrai and Giratina were not mentioned, and Arceus himself didn't really appear like the others; he was just the egg.

Can anyone confirm this for me?

**Maestro Kinético** · 3rd June 2007, 10:38 AM

I really liked this episode, we got to see Pokemon interaction like in the past and the trainers using their Pokemon in varied ways. It had plot and that's why I liked it, I don't have any problem with enjoying a DP episode if it's good. But the best has to be the end, I loved that scene. I'm going to forget about the things I didn't like which are. 1) The horrible green background appearing behind Parukia and Diaruga2)Perfect shinning tiles 3)Team Rocket playing football, it took away all the atmosphere4) Natane apearing again, I don't like that gym leaders now are friends instead of people that you are afraid of.

**DaDonYordel** · 3rd June 2007, 10:57 AM

now I am really excited of watching future D/P episodes because of this..

**Korobooshi Kojiro** · 3rd June 2007, 11:52 AM

Ah, I'm glad to see one person here always stays in character.

I must say, Eterna Jenny is an idiot. She waited for Ash to scan Stunky giving Jessie the chance to use Seviper to escape.

And the...horny guard...

What do you mean "now"? That's been the case for years. Quit looking for things to complain about.

Anyone else liked this scene? Seeing Pokemon have little conversations is always cute. When they found Team Rocket, Pikachu wanted to go get Ash, but Piplup wanted to confront them right away.

**-Starly-** · 4th June 2007, 3:25 AM

Funny how Piplup, one of Dawn's Pokémon, is the one who's rushing without planning when it's usually Ash who does those things.

Love this .gif:

**Dax** · 4th June 2007, 3:42 AM

He's desperate to return to it's pokeball. He's practically never in it...

**HoennMaster** · 4th June 2007, 4:00 AM

I must say that this episode was really good. D/P is turning out to be a great series, it is like starting fresh, but in a different way. I can't wait for this episode to air in the U.S. I'm glad D/P starts tomorrow!

**Neo Mario** · 4th June 2007, 4:15 AM

Well this is one of the few episodes where people thought it would be bad then it turned out to be good

Yeah, and I haven't like that in those years. i loved when they were dark and misterious.
