Ep 16. The Lonely Snover

Ash, Pikachu, and their friends find themselves in a snowy, mountainous region as they continue their journey towards Snowpoint City. While exploring the area, they come across a Snover that appears to be lost and alone. The group tries to get closer to the Snover to help it, but it becomes frightened and runs away.

As they try to find the Snover, they come across a group of Weavile who appear to be bullying it. They quickly jump in to help and manage to scare off the Weavile. However, the Snover runs away again, leaving the group wondering how they can get it to trust them.

While trying to come up with a plan, the group spots the Snover being chased by a massive, angry Abomasnow. The group quickly intervenes and manages to distract the Abomasnow, allowing the Snover to escape. They then take the Snover to a nearby cave to keep it safe.

Inside the cave, they discover that the Snover is actually a female and is protecting a group of other Snover and an Abomasnow, who are all suffering from a mysterious illness. Ash and his friends promise to help find a cure for the Snover's friends and set out to gather ingredients for a remedy.

After obtaining what they need, they return to the cave and prepare the cure. They manage to heal all of the sick Pokemon, including the Abomasnow that was chasing the Snover earlier.

With the other Pokemon feeling much better, the Snover finally begins to trust Ash and his friends. However, she is still hesitant to leave the cave with them. The group spends some time getting to know the Snover and playing with her, hoping to build an even stronger bond.

Eventually, the group has to continue on their journey, but they promise to come back and visit the Snover and her friends soon. As they leave, the Snover watches them go with a sad expression, but the group assures her that they will always be there for her.

Overall, "The Lonely Snover" is a heartwarming episode that highlights the importance of empathy, teamwork, and friendship. It also introduces viewers to some of the unique and fascinating Pokemon that can be found in the snowy regions of the Pokemon world.
