Alexis' Failures, Difficult Struggles and Aster's Responsibility: Pokémon Legacy Platinum Episode 5
3at April 4 after finishing breakfast with Aster and Bella, Alexis left Twinleaf Town and landed at Veilstone City to which she returned to Team Galactic HQ and battled the Commander Saturn in intense battle but lost to him barely after Magnezone's Zap Cannon beat a paralyzed damaged Staraptor in a critical hit. returning home, Aster healed Alexis' Pokemon causing Alexis to fly to Veilstone and battle Saturn again only to get defeated a second time. after getting her Pokemon healed by her husband again, Alexis returned to Veilstone again and managed to defeat Saturn back in third rematch leveling Ponyta up to Level 28, Luxray to level 44 and Weavile to level 37. after three battles with Saturn, Alexis arrived at the Restaurant where Cynthia and Flint and Aaron and Lucian are shown eating breakfast to which Alexis challenged Roman and his wife Kylie to a battle. however for an embarrassing hour after healing her Pokemon at the Pokemon Center too much times, Alexis got swept instantly by Roman and Kylie too much duo to the couple's strong heavy Pokemon too powerful yet Luxray leveled up to Level 45 while Abomasnow leveled up to Level 41, Weavile remained Level 37, Quagsire leveled up to Level 29 and Ponyta leveled up to Level 40 fully evolving into Rapidash after embarrassing difficult aggressive training fighting. after losing too much to the rich couple, Alexis got criticized by an angry Kylie about her and her Pokemon's weakness including the lacking of professional training despite that Ponyta evolving into Rapidash after too much struggles proved to be an impressive achievement yet Kylie angrily explained to Alexis she's not ready for tougher battles at all including being uncapable enough of taking on the Elite Four and Champion duo to the circumstances of risky consequences. however Kylie explained to Alexis she has a first impression on her following Darach and Palmer's defeats two top Frontier Brains and that the sacrifices and bravery were heroic. respecting her embarrassed opponent, Kylie fully healed Alexis' Pokemon but requested her to never return to the Restaurant and never bother her and her husband or all other strongest trainers as they don't have patience for her following the embarrassing situations and battles. embarrassed further, Alexis was forced to accept Kylie's request and terms and left the Restaurant by leaving all top trainers alone to let them focus on their business. returning home humiliated, Alexis talked with Aster about her embarrassing battles including Palmer and Darach's defeats yet Aster criticized his wife for her inability of professionally training her Pokemon including the weaknesses as a trainer causing Alexis to direct her anger towards herself while blaming herself for her failures and embarrassing blowouts against Kylie and Roman. responsible for his wife's sake, Aster forced Alexis to stop traveling and stay with him and their daughter Bella at home in a break of one week until Empoleon and Medicham will return fully raised level 100 to help Alexis recover her prime and dominance and eventually professionally battle all strongest trainers including rematches with Kylie and Roman that can get better by Empoleon and Medicham's potential teamwork to help Staraptor and the team get strong.

37:10 Alexis defeats Saturn after losing twice (Risky Close Combat)
2:00:54 Alexis gets swept by Roman and Kylie too much
2:01:27 Ponyta evolves into Rapidash at Level 40 after getting swept too much
2:01:37 Alexis gets criticized by Kylie about her failures (Drama at the Restaurant)
2:03:11 Alexis argues with Aster about her failures (Aster forces Alexis to take a break for one week until getting Empoleon and Medicham back at April 7)
this is my second favorite Episode by how much it shows that Alexis has no choice to have a break for a week if she isn't ready for tougher trainer battles. 1 week later, her Empoleon and Medicham will be level 100 and the two strongest Pokemon of Asuka will make her recover her prime...eventually. in life, we can win a lot, lose a lot and have fun or get mad. that's how it is and i think those lessons are important to develop Alexis as the main protagonist thus Alexis getting embarrassed and swept by Roman and Kylie is like how Barry lost to Jupiter at Lake Acuity but more positive and serious. #alexiskaiba #alexisrhodes #pokemon
