* Chloe dislikes curry (not the food or the taste itself, though) because it's a reminder of how she and Goh are no longer friends. In ''Journeys'' episode 50, she's shown cooking and eating curry alongside Ash and Goh in the Galar region quite merrily as part of her ascension into more of an active role with Ash and Goh as one of the lead characters in Journey's middle and late stages.

* Episode 106 would offer a reveal that turns the entire premise of the fanfic on its head: apparently after Chloe got Eevee in canon, she became so much more involved in Pokemon and going on adventures with Ash and Goh that ''Professor Cerise'' was starting to get a bit lonely. While being more based on paternal empty nest syndrome than a feeling of being mistreated, it is a hilarious flip on how the story treated things where Chloe felt like everyone was ignoring her for Pokemon and leaving her behind.

* The story features a pair of siblings, an older sister and a younger brother. The older sister acts aloof and is a bit overbearing on her brother, and is shown to be prejudiced against somebody while not realizing how much damage she's doing, and her story Arc eventually leads her to become more accepting of those she misjudged. As for the brother, his sister's influence has caused him to develop a front that hides a pretty vindictive and selfish personality. He also ends up suffering [[spoiler:SanitySlippage as a result of his sister hanging out with someone else and keeping him in the dark about stuff, culminating in him taking control of a powerful Pokémon in part to prove himself superior to a character he thinks is going to take his sister away from him]]. Are we talking about Chloe and Parker, or [[VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet Carmine and Kieran]]?

* After Ash brings his old mons back during the Unown arc and they stick around afterwards for battle, the anime itself would feature a return for them heavily in the 2021 previews.

In ''Journeys'' Episode 68, when all these mons are featured, Charizard's there to greet him.
* Trip questions what would happen if Ash's Dragonite fought off Iris's Dragonite...and lo and behold, Journeys Episode 65 has them fighting and Ash's Dragonite ''hugging Iris''! Even better is that Trip shows Ash a picture of Iris in her championship dress; guess what she's wearing when she and Ash fight?
* The fact that Goh is called out for how he gets everything handed to him so easy when Episode 64 reveals that he caught that Absol -- albeit to save it from a geyser of hot steam -- without any effort and no bonding.
