Ep 31. The Island Whisperer!
Ash and his friends are still reeling from their experiences on Poni Island, and they are eager to explore more of the Alola region. When they hear about a mysterious island where the local Pokémon can talk, they decide to investigate.
Upon arriving on the island, they are greeted by a young girl named Mallow, who claims to be the island whisperer. She leads them through the lush tropical jungle, pointing out various Pokémon along the way.
As they walk, they come across a Snorlax blocking their path. Mallow explains that she has been trying to communicate with the Snorlax for weeks, but it refuses to budge. Ash decides to use his Z-move to try and wake the Snorlax up, but it still refuses to move.
Mallow then reveals that the Snorlax has been acting strangely ever since a group of humans arrived on the island. The humans have been cutting down trees and polluting the water, causing the native Pokémon to become sick and disoriented.
Determined to help the Pokémon, Ash and his friends set out to stop the humans from damaging the island any further. They sneak into the human's base camp and sabotage their equipment, causing them to abandon the island.
With the humans gone, the native Pokémon begin to recover, and the island returns to its peaceful state. Mallow thanks Ash and his friends for their help and invites them to stay on the island for as long as they like.
As they settle in for the night, Ash and his Pokémon are serenaded by the island's Pokémon, who all seem to be singing in harmony. It's a magical experience, and Ash knows that he will never forget his time on the island.
Overall, The Island Whisperer! is a heartwarming episode that showcases the beauty of the Alola region and the importance of protecting our environment. It's a must-watch for any Pokémon fan, young or old.
