A crossroads...

Which way should we go?

All right.

We can use this! We go whichever way the leaves point!

Left!

—is what I would say,

but this way’s better.

Just something about it just feels right, y’know?

Now you’ve done it!

Oh? Gonna play dumb?

Then...

...maybe I should leave you there!

Gah!

I’m going on ahead!

Following the wind, following their whims...

...in a forest somewhere, in a region somewhere...

...Satoshi and Pikachu’s directionless journey continues.

Now then, what Pokémon will they meet today?

Pi! Ka! Chu!

Pi!

Ooh, a Mukkuru!

Huh?! Koiking?!

Pikachu! Don’t just laugh at me...

Thanks...

A Cocoon?

Oww...

Is it sleeping?

What?! Now?!

It evolved...

Poke.

That was scary...

But...

Did you see that, Pikachu?!

I...

...may have just made friends with that Spear!

Ms. Mom!

Hello!

Professor Okido!

How are you doing?

Have you heard from Satoshi?

Nope, not a word since.

I don’t know where he is or what he’s up to.

Well, it’s nice to wander around without any particular goal every now and then.

I used to be just like that when I was young.

Oh, he does have a goal of sorts.

He said he wanted to make more friends.

Hmm, friends...

A poem just came to mind.

Pokémon Haiku

If it’s friends you seek You should start with Pokémon Hundred fifty one Pokémon Haiku

Master of the craft! Pokémon Haiku

Pokémon Haiku

Ooh, a Korobohshi!

A Minezumi?

Digda.

Nyarth...

Nyarth?!

Pikachu!

Byesy-meow!

What are you doing?!

If you ask us “What are you doing?!”...

We’ll answer out of sympathy for the world!

Whoosh! Shing!

To protect the world from devastation.

To preserve world peace.

Championing the evils of truth and love.

We’re the lovely, charming villains.

Musashi!

Kojiro!

The Team Rocket duo soars through the galaxy!

Like a white hole, a white tomorrow awaits us!

Just kidding, meow!

You again, Team Rocket?!

Wherever Pikachu may be, Team Rocket is bound to follow, meow!

Then, Pikachu, use 100,000 Volts!

What?!

This can absorb all its electricity, meow!

Then... Iron Tail!

Escape is impossible!

We exhaustively researched Pikachu...

...and made an invention that can withstand not just Iron Tail,

but any impact whatsoever; the Super DX Capture Net!

So! With that outta the way...

We’ll be off!

You think I’ll let you?

Go, Onvern!

Blast Waves!

Sonansu, take care of it.

It’s up to you, Donphan!

Is that allowed?!

And that’s not all.

Go, Jukain!

Leaf Blade!

100,000 Volts!

Thanks, everyone!

You okay, Pikachu?

I don’t get it. Our Pikachu countermeasures were perfect.

Alas, we didn’t prepare anything for his other Pokémon...

Now we’ll know for next time, meow—

Pocket Monsters!

What was that?

Let’s check it out.

Something’s there.

That’s...!

Latias, hold on!

Latias!

What’s wrong, Latias?

I’m sorry I scared you.

Buoysel, help us out!

Yeah! You’ve got it!

She’s wounded all over...

Thanks, Pikachu.

Just wait, I’m gonna tend to you now.

I’m starving...

Everything hurts...

Hide!

Vwoosh!

The brat boy!

Hold it, what’s that?

Hey Rotom! Who’s that Pokémon?

Huh?

Latias. Boundless Pokémon. Dragon/Psychic type.

It communicates using telepathy.

Its body is covered in down that refracts light to make it invisible.

In short, it’s a Legendary Pokémon. Get it now?

A Legendary Pokémon?!

That’s a huge find!

We’re gonna catch it, meow!

Oh, they got untied.

Thank you, Pikachu.

We should spray some more medicine, too.

Thanks.

This’ll sting a bit...

Aww, sorry about that.

This time I’ll tie them tighter...

...so they stay on.

That should do it.

I hope you get better soon, Latias.

Just rest up for now.

Latias! Good morning!

You can’t do that yet!

She’s scared...

I don’t know what happened, but we’re helping you!

We’re all worried about you!

See? Come back down!

Can you understand me?

H-Hey, are you okay, Latias?!

Latias!

Open sesame!

Click, meow!

We caught Latias!

What? I heard something, meow.

So cold!

Ack! The brat boy!

Oh, geez! It came with some worthless freebie!

Hold on, meow.

If the brat boy’s up here, those guys can’t attack us, meow.

Oh! Of course! He can be our hostage!

Taking hostages is elementary villainy!

Hey! Don’t you move, Pikachu!

Don’t you care what could happen to the brat boy?

K-Kids don’t get cold! I can deal with this just fine!

Latias, you okay?

Just hold on, I’ll get you out somehow.

Escape is impossible!

This time, we exhaustively researched Latias,

and now the Ice-hating Dragon type faces Operation: Supercooled Capsule!

It’s super effective!

Operation successful!

What a great feeling!

Can’t I do anything...?

I know! Pikachu!

Send 100,000 Volts at me!

No way!

Latias!

Take my hands!

Latias!

Onvern! Blast Waves!

We were so close, meow...

Whoops... This time we didn’t prepare anything for Pikachu.

Just when we caught a Legendary Pokémon!

What an awful feeling!

Thank you, Latias!

Latias...

I wonder if I’ll see her again.

Meeting and parting with Pokémon time and time again,

Satoshi and Pikachu’s journey goes on somewhere, even today.

We’re gonna have fun by the sea today, Pikachu!

Ooh! An Udeppou!

All right, time to catch it!

Hold it right there!

Kasumi?!

The world-class beauty Kasumi is here!

Satoshi! Let’s decide who catches it with a battle!

All right! I’ll take you on!

Next time, on Pocket Monsters:

Satoshi VS Kasumi! A Seaside Showdown!!

Everyone, go and catch Pokémon!

Here we go!

Championing the evils of truth and love!

Team Rocket Explorers!

Following an order to catch new Pokémon...

...we made our first visit to the Paldea Region.

Oh, meow? There’s one, meow!

Hmm... It’s not in here.

Huh? What’s that?

Let’s open it up!

Bingo, meow!

The Legendary Pokémon, Koraidon.

It is said to have power far surpassing that of other Pokémon,

but its biology is shrouded in mystery.

All right, let’s catch it quick!

Yeah!

What an awful feeling!

Today’s roundup...

Koraidon is a...

Ko-fright-don!
