**Let's Go by the Lugia! Nonomi's Past Reflections?** (Japanese: **ルギアで行こう！ノノミの過去の反省？** *Rugia de Ikou! Nonomi no Kako no Hansei?*) is the seventh episode of Pokémon Legends. In the English dub, it is called "**Legends, Go! Reflections, WHAT?!**"

## Summary/Synopsis

### **English Version**

*The heroes are attending the opening of Professor Cerise’s new research laboratory in Vermilion City, but the day’s events take an unexpected turn when Evemt Horizon interrupts...and after a delay, the Legendary Pokémon Lugia appears nearby! Chloe is trying to fight the Nightmare without revealing her idenity, but knocks herself out cold after purifying it. Meanwhile, the Pokémon takes the others on an amazing adventure, with Warrior Blaze capturing it all on camera...via his ÉléChanMirror! Despite having done it transformed, Professor Cerise is so impressed with the results, he accepts Nanette's offer to let her and friends have positions as research fellows at the lab—in training for now!*

## Plot

After waking up late, the heroes arrive at Doctor Okido's lab, where they greet him just as he is packing his car. Okido reveals that a new Doctor is opening a lab in Kuchiba City, and invites the heroes to attend the opening ceremony. Nonomi enthusiastically agrees to come along, as does Hanako and Barri-chan. Hanako admits she will be inviting the Starlight Club too, much to Kakeru's disappointment. During the cross-country road trip, Kakeru and Ayumi are thrilled to see all the wild Pokémon while Koharu asks Cheren if got some snacks, to which he replies that he got sunflower seeds.

Okido pulls up in front of the Sakuragi Institute, dropping everyone off while he looks for a parking spot. Eager to have a look around, Nonomi rushes up the fleet of steps only to be stopped by a yapping Wanapachi. Koharu reminds everyone that Pachi (the yapping Wanapachi) often doesn't take a liking to strangers, but when Batakurimu Purin attacks him with a Mud Shot, he shocks everyone with Spark, resulting in the ceremony starting late.

Inside the Sakuragi Institute, Doctor Sakuragi, with his two assistants, Kikuna and Renji, as well as Doctor Okido on stage, welcomes the gathered press to his laboratory. Sakuragi explains that his Institute aims to understand everything about Pokémon to better understand the world. The ceremony is interuppted when a woman (none other than Event Horizon) declares it to be over, making the heroes hide with an excuse that they forgot their lunches just to transform. Sakuragi, however, doesn't think Event Horizon is suspicious and offers her a seat to watch the ceremony, ignoring Koharu's warning that she's the bad guy. Once the Warriors transform, they quickly fly back, with Sakuragi asking Sparks where his daughter is. Sparks assures him that they took his daughter to safety and "Koharu" rushes to hug her father (actually Nijiko having Kabochichi-chan transform into her so that Koharu and Sparks can appear as different people, since she and the Pokémon are their secret-keepers).

## Trivia

### **Easter Eggs**

* Lugia says "Fasten your seatbelts!" when taking the heroes for a ride, referencing *The Magic School Bus.*
* Karyll mentions Elec Man's name in one scene, slightly triggering Nonomi.

### **Differences between the Anime Episode and the Book Chapter**

* Nonomi does not mention her secret past at all in the chapter book. Her diary entry is also changed a little.
* In the anime, Shitasakan-chan and Cheren get into an argument over who's a better snarker after everyone gushes over her being pregnant when the Trainers get Eggs. This is moved to the next episode's chapter in the book since the heroes just 'moved in' as rookie trainees.
	+ While topping it off in the anime, Nonomi breaks the 4th wall when she tells Cheren that players of Pocket Monsters Black and White think of him as someone who can't even keep a striaght face, to which Cheren responds with a slap on Nonomi's cheek. This scene is removed from the chapter in order not to offend young readers.
