>>32270006The only other option that I can think of that could tie Lillie and a potential Aether arc in that deals with her memory loss is if Lillie saw something really fucking traumatic that wiped her memories of the event.
UB's destroying shit, Nebby blowing shit up and warping out of Aether and taking Lillie along by accident, watching the disposal of the failed Type Nulls.
I really feel like they're setting up Lillie to stumble across Nebby by accident or at Aether Paradise and to have her memory kick in like, "I don't know why, but I feel like I recognize you/have seen you before" but not having her completely understand why which would lead to her rescuing Nebby after seeing it experimented on.
Shirons role would be to help her save Nebby and actually fend off Aether goons until Ash and company arrived or Nebby decides to warp them out.
>>32270038>Attracting UB's which fucking devastate everything in their path at the very start of a seriesThey wouldn't begin the UB arc and completely explain her amnesia within the first 20 episodes, that's just not going to happen. But episode 24 should hopefully give us a bigger clue as to what we should expect out of her.
Lillie is the only one with ties to Aether and Skull, she will have a large role in it. Lusamine is with Aether and Gladion is with Skull. Lillie is the true heroine of the Gen 7 games, her popularity is massive.
The anime has never followed the games to a T, but I'm certain that Lillie is going to have a large role in the villian arc.
Nebby is likely going to be the Puni-chan of SM, being taken care of by Lillie like Puni-chan was by Bonnie.
