- December 21, 2018
Ash and his friends continue their journey towards the Alola Pokémon League. They stop by a riverside restaurant where they meet a chef named Mimo, who is known for cooking delicious Pokémon food. Mimo is in love with his sous chef Harper, but is too shy to confess his feelings to her.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket has also arrived at the restaurant disguised as chefs, with the intention of stealing all the Pokémon they can find. However, their plans are thwarted when Mimo's Pokémon, a Claydol and a Bounsweet, team up with Ash's Pikachu and Lycanroc to defeat them.
As the group sits down to enjoy their meal, they discover that Mimo has prepared a special dish for Harper. It is a heart-shaped cake, made with the help of his Pokémon. Harper is touched by Mimo's gesture and confesses her own feelings for him. The two of them share a romantic moment that is interrupted by an attack from a group of wild Pokémon.
Ash and his friends join forces with Mimo and Harper to defend the restaurant and its Pokémon. They soon discover that the wild Pokémon are only attacking because their habitat has been destroyed by a dam upstream. The group comes up with a plan to redirect the water flow and restore the natural habitat of the wild Pokémon.
With the help of Mimo's Pokémon, as well as Rowlet and Turtonator, the group successfully redirects the water and the wild Pokémon are able to return to their home. Mimo and Harper thank Ash and his friends for their help, and they continue their journey towards the Alola Pokémon League.
The Shape Of Love To Come! is a heartwarming episode that showcases the power of love and teamwork. It reminds viewers that even in the world of Pokémon, love and compassion can conquer all.
