Ep 27. A Restoration Confrontation! Part 1

Ash and his friends arrive at the Dekorola Island and come across a park that has been closed for a long time. They are curious about it and decide to check it out. As they reach the park, they meet an archaeologist named Juniper who tells them about the history of the park. Apparently, the park was built around a beautiful ancient ruin that was destroyed long ago when a fire broke out. Juniper has been trying to restore the ruins for a long time and has finally made some progress.

However, things take a turn for the worse when a group of Team Rocket members arrive and steal the restoration machine that Juniper was using to restore the ruins. The machine is crucial for Juniper's work and without it, she won't be able to make any progress. Along with the machine, Team Rocket steals all of the Pokemon in the park including the archaeologist's two assistants' Pokemon and Pikachu.

Ash and his friends are outraged and vow to get the Pokemon and the machine back. They come up with a plan to sneak into Team Rocket's hideout and steal back the machine. With the help of some of the Pokemon in the park, they successfully sneak in and retrieve the machine. However, they soon learn that the machine is damaged and won't be able to restore the ruins.

To make matters worse, Team Rocket tracks them down and a battle ensues. But just when it seems like all is lost, the archaeologist and her assistants come to their aid with some powerful Pokemon they had been working on. The battle ends with Team Rocket being defeated and all of the Pokemon being rescued.

Now that they have the machine, the group decides to figure out a way to restore the ruins without it. The episode ends with them devising a new plan to restore the ancient ruins and save the park.
