It sounds like a filler rather than an episode about Lysandre's Pyroar. Three consecutive fillers are an odd way to start the series.

Summary, since it hasn't been posted yet, thanks to Adamant

A Litleo was about to leave its pride in order to live on its own! However, a mysterious shadow has its eyes fixed on it and....

Seriously if the shadowy figure isn't Lysandre then this epiosde is just useless as ever. I really just want to see how he caught his Pyroar.

Also, shouldn't the last bit of the title be, "The Firey Departure"?

 

[Jyo]

So Much Hype!
I Can't Wait to see Litleo & Pyroar in action!
Going to be long wait but I'm sure it will go by fast!
Just as soon as I ordered a custom made Pyroar plush - it's now announced in an episode!

Filler will make me smile!

Also, shouldn't the last bit of the title be, "The Firey Depature"?

*Firey isn't a word & *Departure

*Fiery

Something interesting:

- Past tense is used in the summary which is unusual for these summaries which only use present time.
- No mention of Ash and his friends whereas all previous summaries mention them.
- A mysterious shadow sounds way more menacing than TR and also it implies a single person unless it's a TR mecha. However, I doubt it.

Conclusion: This is a Lysandre flashback episode/Lysandre's Pyroar flashback ep.

Or at the very least, I really, REALLY hope it is.

Nah, not gonna get my hopes up.

 

[Pokeplayer150]

I swear, if this doesn't end up being a backstory episode for Lysandre's Pyroar, I will be sorely disappointed.

ITS BEEN 3000 YEARS!!! AT LONG LAST, XY&Z GETS AN EPISODE FEATURING THE CUTE LITTLE LION CUB!!! SO EXCITED TO SEE LITLEO!!

 

[Ampharos King]

It seems this episode will be about Persian 2.0 and how he met his trainer Lysandre.

 

[swiftgallade46]

Maybe it will be about Malva's Pyroar! :O

 

[ii kanji]

Sounds promising... Let's hope we're not misinterpreting the summary big time!!!

 

[lavandula]

Maybe it will be about Malva's Pyroar! :O

Lysandre's, actually.

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

So we got confirmation now that this episode is gonna involve Lysandre and his Pyroar. It could be a flashback episode about how he met him as a Litleo. Gotta say also, Lysandre looks classy af right in that picture.

 

[swiftgallade46]

Could still be about both! What if it's a love story about how Lysandre and Malva's Pyroar used to be in the same pride, but were separated when one of them was forced to leave?! ...ok too much speculation, but I really want to see Malva #GiveMeMyE4Members #MoreThanJustCameos

EDIT: and, yes, I know Siebold had a major role in the first ME special

Lysandre looks certainly much younger in that clothes, but I think that's still far of being a confirmation.

By the way, he is drinking wine. Dub edit speculation in 3,2,1...

SOMEONE END ME NOW! I JUST FOUND PHOTOS FROM THE EPISODE OF ASH HOLDING A LITLEO. THE POOR LION CUB LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE IN PAIN

Yeah I doubt Ash or anyone will catch Litleo in this episode. The poor thing looks like its getting abused in the previews.

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

I WAITED 2 YEARS TO WATCH A POOR LITLEO GET ABUSED. THAT POOR LITLEO!

I still hope someone will catch Litleo! Its my favorite XY Pokemon. Not much evidence, but I'm still gonna hope for it.
