Our Review

This action-packed installment in the Pokémon X•Y saga delivers a thrilling blend of high-stakes escapes and character-driven quests, as Korrina's desperate flight from the Tower of Mastery collides with X and Y's own journey. The narrative masterfully juggles multiple plot threads, from the ambiguous arrival of a powerful new Trainer to the gang's search for Y's mother, ensuring the pace never falters. Fans of the Pokémon Adventures series will be immediately hooked by the escalating conflict with Team Flare and the introduction of dynamic aerial combat.

What truly distinguishes this volume is its deepening character exploration, particularly through Y's past as her Sky Trainer school classmate, Yvette, drags the group into a challenging Sky Battle. The constant tension between allies and potential foes, especially the mysterious Gardevoir's Trainer, adds a compelling layer of uncertainty to the adventure. Readers who crave strategic Pokémon battles intertwined with personal backstory will find this a deeply satisfying and impactful read.
