Ep 30. Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?

Ash and his friends arrive at a small island, where they meet a young girl named Ida, who dreams of becoming a Pokémon Trainer. She is especially fascinated by Z-Moves and the Z-Ring that Pokémon Trainers use to perform them.

Ash and Pikachu agree to help Ida catch her first Pokémon, but things don't go according to plan when a group of Team Rocket minions show up to cause trouble. With Pikachu captured, it's up to the rest of the group to rescue him and stop Team Rocket from stealing all the Z-Crystals on the island.

Meanwhile, Ida's determination to become a Trainer and earn a Z-Ring inspires Ash to reflect on his own journey. He begins to question his own ability to use Z-Moves and wonders if he truly deserves a Z-Ring of his own.

In the end, Ash and his friends successfully thwart Team Rocket's plan and Ida catches her first Pokémon. As they prepare to leave the island, Ash receives a special gift from Ida – a Z-Ring that she crafted herself. Ash is moved by Ida's generosity and by the reminder that being a great Trainer is not about material possessions, but about the bond between the Trainer and their Pokémon.

With renewed confidence, Ash declares that he will train hard and earn the right to use a Z-Ring one day. His journey continues as he and his friends set off towards their next adventure.
