Guuuuhhhh, all the possibilities T____T WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN ACT IV?!
-> Will Manon actually manage to meet Alan? I know, I know, she knows about the tournament and is super-worried about it (geez, he leaves you for one day and he manages to BET HIS STONES in the meantime, good job Alan :/) according to the summary - but technically, she could be asked to wait for him to finish his battles?
-> D: If Hari-san discovers greenblob-who-may-or-may-not-be-Puni-chan, we can be sure that, whether or not he manages to bring it back to Manon, he will convey to Manon that Bad Things Are Happening (maybe itâs the close-up shot on Manonâs face with the surprise-shocked expression from the preview?) - I. donât think it would be a good idea for the labs to let her go after that...?
-> So if sheâs not around in XY&Z, or barely, where is she. Will she quit, will she be on the run, will she be caught? Will Alan know what is happening? (Will he even know that she went after him?) Will he help her and Hari-san (and the greenblob) somehow? ... Is the âManon... you and I, we canât be together anymore.â referring to the end of Act IV...? Would it be a flat-out rejection (because She And Hari-san Have Disrupted The Directorâs Research) or, once again, a pushing-away-to-protect-you (if he has realized that, uh, the labs are fishy and someone who claims to be working for âpeaceful purposesâ probably isnât)?
(Iâm pretty sure Sweet (Rich) Uncle Daigo-san would provide the best protection and he could train her a lot in Hoenn in the meantime (sssh-sshhhh, let me dream, I know heâll probably either just cameo in a flashback, or make a quick cameo at the beginning, or at best have A Flashback Of A Discussion With Alan Before Alan Left, but psssh.))
-> ... Alan being Alan, tho, if Things Happen and Alan realizes the labs are up to no good, he would totally buy it if Fleurdelys just told him that ~sadly, some people from the labs betrayed him, oh no Alan, please help me~ (itâs For The Professorâs Safety) (You know Alan would just... accept it.) (Alan, no.)
-> I like how the general trend amongst people liking Alan (well, those Iâve discussed with) is generally âI canât wait for him to lose against Pachiraâ.
-> But really: canât see him win? Maybe the battle will be interrupted, but canât see him dominating the fight (for long) anyway /o/ (BUT THEN HE STILL HAS HIS STONE ON THE POSTER.....)
And then... what will happen to them at the end / before going into the main anime?! Iâm gonna stick to my âManon is in fact Puni-chanâ delusion idea until the last moment (:|) because it would be. too. damn. sad. (and hella frustrating). to have her just... sent away while Serious Stuff Is Happening In Kalos. Will Pachira still be around, given that sheâs absent from the character sheets&the poster? WHO WILL VOICE PACHIRA?! Will my answer for female adult characters stop being âSayaka Ĺharaâ one day. Will Limone Papa and Platane pop in together in tights at some point?! And... the most unlikely... would... would Alan say âPleaseâ at some point?! I know, that would be so shocking.
