Summary

English Official Summary

Ash reluctantly tags along with Lana, Lillie, and Mallow at the mall. One store’s owner points him toward Treasure Island, a gorgeous place full of wild Pokémon, and offers to lend him her kayak. Soon, he and Pikachu are on their way! After a great day of exploring, swimming, and meeting new Pokémon, they discover a Wimpod stuck in some rocks. Ash tries to scale the cliff to rescue it, but just gets all scraped up until Pikachu recruits an Alolan Exeggutor to give him a lift. Wimpod is freed—and Tapu Lele, Akala’s mysterious Island Guardian (who’s been secretly watching them), shows its approval by healing Ash’s scratches!

Sacha tente d’escalader pour le secourir mais ne réussit qu’à récolter des égratignures jusqu’à ce qu’il reçoive l’aide d’un Noadkoko. Sovkipou est sauvé et Tokopiyon, le gardien de l’île d’Akala (qui les observait en secret) montre son approbation en soignant les égratignures de Sacha !

Ash versucht hinaufzuklettern, um es zu retten, aber er kratzt sich dabei alles auf und stürzt mehrmals ab. Pikachu bittet ein Alola-Kokowei um Hilfe und endlich können sie das Reißlaus befreien. Kapu-Fala, Akalas geheimnisvoller Schutzpatron (der sie heimlich beobachtet hat), zeigt seine Zustimmung, indem es Ashs Schürfwunden heilt!

Dopo una fantastica giornata di esplorazioni, nuotate e incontri con nuovi Pokémon, i due scoprono un Wimpod incastrato tra le rocce.
