Pokémon Ultimate Journeys

Ash's next World Coronation Series battle is against Drasna of the Kalos Elite Four! But first, he pays a visit to his old friends Clemont and Bonnie at the Lumiose City Gym, and Goh takes a detour to catch a new Pokémon. At the Gym, Ash's Sirfetch'd seems to be struggling to master a new move, Meteor Assault, so Clemont performs an analysis to find out what's holding it back. It turns out some special training with Dracovish is the key! Ash and Clemont have a Double Battle, giving Sirfetch'd a chance to perfect Meteor Assault…and Dracovish learns a new move of its own, too!

The Pokémon World Coronation Series is in full swing! After training with his old friend Clemont, Ash is ready to battle with Dracovish and Sirfetch'd by his side. They're facing Drasna of the Kalos Elite Four. She may seem sweet, but she's totally serious about victory! As the battle progresses, Drasna becomes increasingly impressed with Ash and his Pokémon, and both sides show off intense moves. It doesn't look good for Ash when Drasna has her Altaria Mega Evolve, but as usual, our hero comes up with a strategy to propel himself to victory and raise his Ultra Class ranking to ninth place!

Chloe heads to Lilycove City to meet up with Ash and Goh and watch a Sylveon compete in a Pokémon Contest. There, she's approached by Contest Idol Lisia, who encourages her to enter. She then runs into Serena, Sylveon's Trainer and Ash's former traveling companion, and the two go to the Contest Hall. Meanwhile, Ash and Goh get delayed because Gym Leader Wallace insists on battling Ash! Chloe, Serena, and Lisia all give amazing performances with their Pokémon, and as Serena bids Chloe goodbye, Ash and Goh finally arrive. Although their reunion is short, Ash and Serena promise to keep cheering each other on as they pursue their goals!

Team Rocket may be up to their usual tricks, but their latest plot to recruit new members involves something uniquely entertaining: a late-night web radio show! But "Team Rocket's Undercover Kingdom" isn't just unpopular-it has no listeners. So Jessie, James, and Meowth reformat the show into "Dum-Dum-Dum Z", which becomes a success with games, giveaways, and listener questions. Meanwhile, Ren and Professor Cerise have become huge fans of the show, not realizing the true identities of its charismatic hosts. Team Rocket's original goal of finding new members may have faded, but their web radio show is a big hit!

Ash and Goh are in Cerise Park, looking after the Pokémon living there. Chloe is also there photographing Pokémon, and Yamper's scurrying around helping everyone. They discover two groups of Pokémon who are fighting because dirty water has driven one group from their usual spot. With Yamper's help, our heroes find the source of the pollution: Grimer and its nest under the waterfall. As our heroes build Grimer a new nest, Suicune suddenly appears, summoning a gentle rain and restoring the waters of Cerise Park. Before departing, it shares a moment with Yamper, whose efforts helped save the day. Then, Ash receives a message-his next battle opponent is Raihan!

Ash is training fiercely for his upcoming Masters Eight entrance battle against Raihan, and when he sees Goh's Froakie evolve into Frogadier, he gets an idea! Realizing that his friendship with Lucario is similar to the bond he shares with Greninja, he and Goh travel to Kalos. They find Greninja, who runs circles around Lucario in battle, but eventually Lucario learns how to focus its Aura powers and connect with Ash on a closer level. And when gigantic roots attack, the Pokémon show their strengths and defeat them together! With Lucario boasting newfound strength, Greninja once again departs-but Ash knows they'll always be close despite being regions apart!

It's time for Ash's battle against Raihan-the winner gets to compete in the Masters Eight Tournament! As Leon watches, the three-on-three battle begins with Raihan's Flygon versus Ash's Dragonite. But Flygon overwhelms Dragonite, and Raihan is in the lead! Then, Ash chooses Gengar. Flygon attacks fiercely, but after recovering from an attack, Gengar Gigantamaxes! Flygon is taken down, and then Gengar and Raihan's Goodra knock each other out! With one Pokémon left on each side, Raihan chooses Duraludon, while Ash chooses Lucario. Although Duraludon Gigantamaxes, it's no match for Ash and Lucario's new technique: G-Max Aura Sphere. Ash wins the battle, officially becoming a member of the Masters Eight!

At the Sea Mauville nature preserve, Goh is tackling his next Project Mew trial mission-survival in battle! With only Inteleon, he must battle other challengers until just one Trainer remains. Luckily for Goh, Horace appears, and the two of them team up. Many of the other challengers form teams, too, and one pair in particular threatens to end the boys' winning streak. In the end, only Goh and Horace remain, but only one can win. Horace reluctantly battles and defeats Goh, winning three Project Mew tokens. Goh receives two, but he's discouraged when he finds out the Chaser selection will happen soon-he has some catching up to do.

Ash, Goh, and Chloe visit the frigid mountains of the Crown Tundra to investigate a report of an unusual Pokémon. Coincidentally, Lillie and Gladion are there, too, still searching for their missing father, Mohn. Along with Lusamine, they press on and find Mohn living in a cabin, but he has amnesia and doesn't recognize them. It turns out he's been living with a Nihilego who he believes to be his human daughter. Worried that Mohn would send it away, Nihilego did everything possible to keep him from remembering his previous life. But his memory finally returns, and the happy family asks Nihilego to join them!

With Lillie's family reunited, Ash, Goh, and Chloe accompany them home to Alola. The visit gives Ash a chance to show how much his skills have grown since he became the region's Champion: a Battle Royal has been scheduled, and Professor Kukui, Gladion, and Kiawe are his opponents! The battling is intense, and the Battle Royal Dome is packed with people cheering for Ash and wishing him success in the upcoming Masters Eight Tournament. After the event, Ash heads to the beach, where he's soon joined by Professor Kukui and Tapu Koko. The Island Guardian gives Ash a show of support, and our hero vows to give it his all!

"Goh has been working tirelessly to become a Project Mew Chaser, and now he's down to his last mission: catch Regieleki and Regidrago! Of course, he's not the only Trainer vying for the title. Gary is as well! Things might have been a little bit rocky when the two first met, but now they're putting cooperation above competition and are vowing to work together! Thanks to some good advice from Lyla and Sterling, Goh and Gary develop into quite the formidable team, and catching Regieleki and Regidrago becomes more than a fantasy! Finally, Professor Amaranth announces the official results, and Gary, Horace, and Goh are accepted as Project Mew Chasers!"

With the Masters Eight Tournament approaching, Ash is training hard when he receives a call from Professor Oak encouraging him to visit all his Pokémon at the lab. So, he and Goh set off to Pallet Town. There, Ash's current team begins training with his other Pokémon, but when Gengar ends up in the forest, our heroes unexpectedly run into Paul, Ash's rival from Sinnoh! Although Paul isn't in the World Coronation Series, he agrees to battle Ash using his Gyarados, Garchomp, and Metagross-all Pokémon used by members of the Masters Eight. Though Paul's skills are formidable, Ash wins after Gengar unleashes a fiery new move!

Excitement is in the air as the Pokémon World Coronation Series Masters Eight Tournament is about to start! Ash and Goh are there, of course, and so is Leon's younger brother, Hop. After Hop challenges Ash to a quick unofficial battle (Hop loses), the tournament begins. The Masters Eight are introduced, and then the first match gets underway-it's Leon versus Alain! Both Trainers are formidable indeed, but Leon's command of his Pokémon's skills give him the edge and the victory. Next up? It's a battle between Lance and Diantha, and the winner will get to battle Leon. Who will be victorious?

The Masters Eight Tournament continues as the action moves to the second match of the first round: Lance, Champion of Kanto and Johto, versus Kalos Champion Diantha! Ash, Goh, and Hop watch from the stands, and there's plenty of action. It's three on three, starting with Lance's Dragonite and Diantha's Aurorus. Both teams are skilled, but the first bout goes to Lance! Next, Diantha brings out Gourgeist, while Lance switches Dragonite out and sends in Gyarados. Diantha wins, and the battle continues until finally it's down to Lance's Dynamax Dragonite versus Diantha's Mega Gardevoir. Mega Gardevoir is victorious, and Diantha advances to the semifinals! Next up? Iris versus Cynthia!

The third match of the Masters Eight Tournament is Sinnoh Champion Cynthia versus Unova Champion Iris. They already know each other well-Cynthia has been a helpful mentor to Iris for some time. The first win goes to Iris and Excadrill, using a powerful Horn Drill move on Cynthia's Gastrodon. That's followed by a victory for Cynthia's Milotic, giving both sides one loss! Iris brings out Dragonite, who is defeated, so she calls on Haxorus, who eliminates Milotic. That leaves both sides with one Pokémon each! The last bout is Garchomp versus Haxorus, and the Dragon-type matchup is ferocious. But Mega Garchomp proves too much for Haxorus, and Cynthia wins!
