In the [[Galar]] [[region]]'s {{gal|Iron Ruins}}, [[Quillon]] confronts a {{p|Registeel}}, his {{p|Urshifu}} pummeling it into submission with {{m|Close Combat}} as he prepares an [[Ultra Ball]]. Meanwhile, at the [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Kanto]], [[Goh]] receives a notification of the very last [[Project Mew]] [[Field Research|Trial Mission]]. Of the two given options, he chooses the one that requires {{pkmn2|Caught|catching}} {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}. [[Professor Cerise]] tells Goh and {{Ash}} that they're two mostly unknown Pokémon somehow linked with the [[Split-Decision Ruins]] in the [[Crown Tundra]]. To Ash's surprise, Goh decides to head for this mission alone, giving Ash more time to focus on {{pkmn|training}} for the [[Masters Eight Tournament]]. | In the [[Galar]] [[region]]'s {{gal|Iron Ruins}}, [[Quillon]] confronts a {{p|Registeel}}, his {{p|Urshifu}} pummeling it into submission with {{m|Close Combat}} as he prepares an [[Ultra Ball]].

After arriving in the Crown Tundra, Goh travels through [[Roaring-Sea Caves]], [[Frigid Sea]], and [[Three-Point Pass]] before reaching the Split-Decision Ruins. At the entrance, he finds {{Gary}}, who's also here for the same Trial Mission. The door of the ruins is sealed tight, with ancient text written on it. Quillon arrives at the scene and translates the text for them, which dictates that the door will be opened if the [[Legendary giants|giants]] of {{t|rock}}, {{t|ice}}, and {{t|steel}} are gathered at the site. Throwing out three Ultra Balls, he reveals he has acquired said three giants: {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and Registeel.

Throwing out three Ultra Balls, he reveals he has acquired said three giants: {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and Registeel. The giants cause a reaction with the door of the ruins, opening the passageway to the two other giants hidden inside. Before Goh and Gary head in, Quillon informs them that they'll only be allowed to use two Pokémon each during this mission. | ||
While traversing through the ruins, Gary reveals that he watched [[JN110|Goh's previous Trial Mission]], noting that he seems to have learned more about teamwork. He then asks Goh why he wants to meet {{p|Mew}}. Goh explains that [[JN001|he met Mew when he was young]], and he wishes to know it better so he can learn more about Pokémon in general, given that Mew contains the genes of all Pokémon.

The two finally reach the main part of the ruins: a big chamber with two statues and sets of circular panels on the floor. Goh recalls the patterns he saw at the entrance and figures they must've been a hint. Stepping on some of the floor panels, Gary sees them lighting up, but when Goh steps on the other set of panels, the panels on Gary's side stop glowing, indicating that only one set of panels can be active at a time. For a while, each of them tries to outdo the other, but this only results in neither of them making any progress at all. On Gary's suggestion, they try stepping on the panels at the same time, which turns out to be the key to lighting up both sets of panels at the same time. However, before they can step on their respective last panels, each of them finds themselves surrounded by {{m|Icicle Spear|giant}} {{m|Icicle Crash|icicles}} from a {{p|Frosmoth}} and a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Darmanitan}}, their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s being [[Lyla]] and [[Sterling]], another pair of Project Mew challengers, whom Goh recognizes from [[Sea Mauville]].

Fortunately, Goh and Gary had both set up a backup plan in case of unforeseen complications and escaped with the help of {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}'s {{m|Blaze Kick}} and {{p|Hatterene}}'s {{m|Psycho Cut}}. | ||
To avoid exhausting their limited Pokémon numbers more than necessary, both sides agree on a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] to decide who gets to confront Regieleki and Regidrago, with each Trainer using one Pokémon. Lyla and Sterling choose {{p|Sandaconda}} and {{p|Runerigus}}, while Goh and Gary choose Cinderace and {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}, respectively, with Gary explaining that he chose to use Blastoise to cover for Cinderace's weaknesses. Sandaconda and Runerigus start the battle by using {{m|Sand Tomb}} on Cinderace, but Blastoise uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} on the sand to free its partner. The next attack comes in the form of a double {{m|Bulldoze}}, which Goh and Gary avoid by having Cinderace climb onto Blastoise and having Blastoise launch itself into the air with {{m|Water Pulse}}. Cinderace then kicks the Water Pulse with Blaze Kick, sending the [[move|attack]] at Sandaconda and Runerigus and defeating them. While Sterling wants to keep going, Lyla honors the deal and admits defeat, though Gary sees through her seeming kindness and understands she just wants to save their strength in case he and Goh fail to catch Regieleki and Regidrago. | To avoid exhausting their limited Pokémon numbers more than necessary, both sides agree on a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] to decide who gets to confront Regieleki and Regidrago, with each Trainer using one Pokémon.

With the obstruction out of the way, Goh and Gary continue from where they left off, stepping onto the last panels. The patterns they inserted appear on the statues in front of them, which then shatter to reveal Regieleki and Regidrago. Goh sends out {{TP|Goh|Flygon}} to confront Regieleki, while Gary uses Hatterene against Regidrago. While Goh and Gary's Pokémon have type advantage on their side, their opponents suddenly switch targets and attack Flygon and Hatterene with their [[signature move]]s, {{m|Dragon Energy}} and {{m|Thunder Cage}}, respectively, which neither Goh nor Gary has seen before. The giants seamlessly switch targets again and defeat their respective opponents with {{m|Extreme Speed}} and {{m|Hammer Arm}}, leaving Goh and Gary with just one Pokémon each. | With the obstruction out of the way, Goh and Gary continue from where they left off, stepping onto the last panels.

Calling out their respective [[starter Pokémon]], Goh and Gary attack the giants again, but they still stand. Regidrago summons a massive {{m|Twister}}, intending to defeat both of its opponents simultaneously. Lyla and Sterling chime in with | Calling out their respective [[starter Pokémon]], Goh and Gary attack the giants again, but they still stand. Regidrago summons a massive {{m|Twister}}, intending to defeat both of its opponents simultaneously. Lyla and Sterling chime in with a bit of advice and tell Goh and Gary to use the Twister to their advantage and have Cinderace ride Blastoise like before. The advice is put to use as Blastoise climbs the Twister with {{m|Rapid Spin}} while Cinderace clings to its back. After building up momentum and height, Cinderace and Blastoise attack Regieleki and Regidrago, the increased momentum being enough to slam the giants into the chamber wall. Goh and Gary, not wasting a second, toss {{i|Poké Ball}}s at the [[Legendary Pokémon]] and successfully catch them. Gary thanks Goh, Lyla, and Sterling for their help, telling them how cooperating with one's rivals can be useful if your goals align with theirs, while also noting that teaming up with someone unskilled simply out of friendship can drag you down. He reveals he learned this lesson from Quillon the hard way after almost getting disqualified during a mission. | ||

All five giants are sent out to stand side by side, Quillon expressing his surprise that both giants of these ruins were successfully caught. The giants start reacting to something, and a pillar of purple light emerges from behind the hills, followed by the appearance of a [[Dynamax]] {{p|Regigigas}}. After looking down at the group for a few moments, Regigigas disappears as suddenly as it had appeared. The group barely has any time to process what they just saw before they all receive a phone call from [[Professor Amaranth]], announcing the final Trial Mission results and the challengers who will become Chasers. The leading challenger is Gary with a total of 15 tokens, three of which were earned from his last mission. The second chosen Chaser is [[Horace]] with 11 tokens. After hearing who the third and final one is, Goh calls Ash to excitedly announce that he passed. Gary, though, tells Goh that they've only reached the starting line, so they must still work hard. With this in mind, they both head towards whatever adventures Project Mew has in store for them. | ||
