Ep 1. Alola to New Adventuer!
- December 5, 2016
Ash and Pikachu have finally arrived at the tropical Alola region, eager to embark on their new adventure. As soon as they step off the boat, they are greeted by the friendly local citizens and the beautiful scenery.
They quickly meet a new friend, a spunky girl named Lillie, who introduces them to her family's Pokémon research lab. Ash is excited to learn about the unique Pokémon that live in Alola, and Lillie's brother, Professor Kukui, is more than happy to show him around.
While exploring the town of Melemele Island, Ash and Pikachu stumble upon a group of wild Pokémon wreaking havoc in the marketplace. Ash can't resist the urge to jump in and help, and he quickly discovers that battling in Alola is a little different than he's used to.
With Lillie's help, Ash learns about Z-Moves, powerful attacks that can only be used once per battle. Lillie demonstrates how to use a Z-Ring, a device that allows trainers to activate their Pokémon's Z-Moves in battle. Impressed by this new technique, Ash can't wait to try it out for himself.
As they continue to explore Melemele Island, Ash and Pikachu encounter a mysterious Pokémon that they've never seen before. This strange creature seems to be following them wherever they go, and Ash is determined to catch it.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket has also arrived in Alola, and they're up to their usual shenanigans. They're hoping to catch some new Pokémon to impress their boss, and they have their sights set on Ash and Pikachu's new friend, Lillie.
With new challenges, new friends, and new Pokémon to discover, Ash's journey in Alola promises to be his most exciting adventure yet.
