Pokemon’s anime has finally brought Lillie’s grand mission to a close with a full reunion for she and her family with the newest episode of Pokemon Journeys! The newest iteration of the anime has felt like a culmination of many years of build up through the series’ latest few seasons as it has picked up after Ash becoming the Alola champion during the Sun and Moon series to follow him through a new tournament in an attempt to become one of the best trainers in the world. As a result, we’ve gotten to see lots of old fan favorites make their return in previous episodes.

While Ash and Goh have already crossed paths with his old friends in the Alola region in previous episodes, that episode actually revealed that Lille, Gladion, and Lusamine were actually still following Magearna’s clues to somehow find Lillie’s father, Mohn. This mission continues to the newest episode of Pokemon Journeys airing in Japan recently, and with a journey to Galar’s Crown Tundra, fans finally got to see an emotional reunion between Mohn and the rest of his family after some interference from Nihilego.ย
Episode 111 of Pokemon Journeys recently aired in Japan and featured Ash, Goh, and Chloe heading to the Crown Tundra on reports of a mysterious Pokemon sighting. While this report eventually falls through, Ash soon reunites with Lillie, Gladion, and Lusamine when they reveal that they have triangulated their last few clues and discovered that Lillie’s father Mohn is in the region somewhere. It’s then revealed that he had lost his memories and had been living with a Nihilego, thinking it was his daughter Lillie.ย
After some emotional back and forth with the Nihilego, Lillie and the others realize that the Ultra Beast wasn’t acting out of malice but out of love and worry for Mohn. It’s soon after that Mohn’s memories are restored, and together with their new Ultra Beast friend, the entire family gets to have the emotional reunion that Lillie had been searching for since the end of the Sun and Moon anime series.ย
