Secret handshake of the two! Just like back in SM097~

I respect your opinion, but I... myself I don’t see it that way, at all. First and far-most, I think you’re kinda reading ahead of what might have happened had he actually lost and not been interrupted by Hala’s re-evaluation. Keyword on might. As we don’t actually see that here.

Satoshi always does the ‘hides under his hat‘ when he loses. It’s his thing. Kalos is the only league where he doesn’t do that, and that’s because he’s proud of his accomplishment. Here?

He is clearly disappointed in himself at this moment. He feels like he’s failed himself and his Pokémon. And it’s human to react this way, esp.with his talent and how much confidence and trust he had in his Mokuroh.  Also, important fact with Hau is that we don’t actually see how he reacts to the loss at the exact moment of the announcement. The first face we see of him, after winner’s been declared and he knows he’s lost, is this:

Considering how he reacted back in SM097 when he lost to Satoshi during their rematch, I’m certain Hau did the exact same thing Satoshi did, feel disappoint, but also does what Satoshi would have done to him has he actually lost: congratulate him on his win and not show the disappointment he’s clearly feeling! The two are quite similar after all in their enthusiastic personality traits, it’s why they clicked so well! However, this is something we can only speculate on, as is how Satoshi would have congratulated Hau, had Hala not stepped in, so I wouldn’t go and say Satoshi is a sore loser. No. With the facts in our hands, It’s impossible to declare that. It’s up to one’s imagination on how things moved on when the screen wasn’t showing it, and I myself see things going the way it usually does during Satoshi’s losses: show disappointment, but then congratulate the winner with a happy smile!

Mokuroh is having a bed hair day, and Fukuthrow is trying its hardest to get the bedhair out of him. But it just moves locations, and poor Fuku gets exhausted lol.

He’s so fed up ajkfgsjfhsfjhf like I give up. Then just a bit later!

Mokuroh’s bed hair gets way way worse!

Fukuthrow is shown turned around and is slowly walking away from Mokuroh ajfgfsjhgfjshgfsjhgfs ITS SO UPSET OF THE BED HAIR!

But I love Mokuroh and Hau and his Fukuthrow over the moon so I'm not letting it make me not like the ep.

And I love how Kukui and Burnet both give advice to Satoshi when thinking about ways of getting stronger...
