[[Goh]] has received an email summoning him to [[Mt. Coronet]] in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] for his first [[Project Mew]] mission, following the [[JN068|recommendation]] from {{an|Professor Oak}}. {{Ash}} decides to tag along to cheer for Goh, so they both immediately travel to Sinnoh. They arrive at Project Mew's laboratory at the foot of Mt. Coronet, although it doesn't really look like a laboratory to them. While approaching it, they notice {{Gary}}, who greets them and teases Goh a bit about him having decided to join the team after all despite his initial resistance. He also warns him about the project's difficulty before leaving, with Goh seething with annoyance towards him. | [[Goh]] has received an email summoning him to [[Mt.

When Ash and Goh enter the base, they're greeted by a man, who asks their help in carrying some heavy boxes to a room full of books. The man says that each of these books is about Mew, but the more he finds a out about it, the more mysterious it gets. He introduces himself as {{prof|Hodaka}}, the leader of Project Mew, before handing Ash and Goh over to another member of the team, a young woman named [[ | When Ash and Goh enter the base, they're greeted by a man, who asks their help in carrying some heavy boxes to a room full of books. The man says that each of these books is about Mew, but the more he finds a out about it, the more mysterious it gets. He introduces himself as {{prof|Hodaka}}, the leader of Project Mew, before handing Ash and Goh over to another member of the team, a young woman named [[Danika]]. | ||
Taking them to a different room, | Taking them to a different room, Danika goes on to explain the details of Project Mew. Their objective is to search {{p|Mew}} from Table Mountain, the largest mountain in the world in terms of surface area, located on a certain island. The expedition there will be carried out during the one-week transitional period from wet season to dry season, after which a thick fog will cover the area and make exploration impossible. Goh tries to ask questions regarding Mew, but Danika makes it clear that all the detailed information they have about Mew is confidential. She then goes on to explain the membership requirements: any {{pkmn|Trainer}} wishing to join must pass certain [[Field Research|Trial Missions]] assigned for them, testing out their knowledge, {{pkmn2|caught|Pokémon catching}} skills, and capability of working with other Trainers, among other things. For passing a Trial Mission, the challenger will receive a token on their [[Rotom Phone]]. The challengers with the most tokens by the time the testing period ends will be accepted into the Mew search team as Chasers, with three spots in the team of five still remaining open. Goh realizes that Danika must be a Chaser too, which she confirms, mentioning that a person named [[Tsurugi]] is the other already accepted Chaser. Ash asks if he can come along for Goh's mission, which Danika permits, given teamwork's importance in the project. | ||
Danika then reveals that the base is actually airborne, currently flying towards an ice field up Mt. Coronet, where Goh's mission will be to catch an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Ninetales}}. Once they land, Danika says they have six hours to complete mission, before Ash and Goh head out. They call out some of their Pokémon to help in the search, but most of them eventually return empty-handed and shivering from the cold, so they're [[recall]]ed. Goh's last Pokémon, {{TP|Goh|Scizor}}, however, manages to find Ninetales and calls Ash and Goh to it. As soon as Ninetales spots them, it attacks them on sight. Goh is confused by this aggressive behavior, since his [[Pokédex]] had described Ninetales having a calm demeanor. He decides to battle Ninetales and calls for Scizor to use {{m|Metal Claw}}, but the move misses and Ninetales {{status|freeze}}s Scizor solid with {{m|Ice Beam}}. Ninetales then starts whipping up a vicious blizzard, forcing Goh to hurriedly recall Scizor as Ninetales disappears into the howling wind and he and Ash desperately try to shield themselves. | |||
Ash and Goh come to in a sheltered cave, having been saved by a young man with a {{p|Weavile}}. He calls them weaklings and tells them to leave as soon as the blizzard ends. He snaps at Goh that he's disqualified and if it weren't for him, he, Ash, and their Pokémon would've just died. Goh recognizes the young man as Tsurugi, the Project Mew member mentioned by | Ash and Goh come to in a sheltered cave, having been saved by a young man with a {{p|Weavile}}. He calls them weaklings and tells them to leave as soon as the blizzard ends. He snaps at Goh that he's disqualified and if it weren't for him, he, Ash, and their Pokémon would've just died. Goh recognizes the young man as Tsurugi, the Project Mew member mentioned by Danika. Goh asks Tsurugi why Alolan Ninetales is here in the first place. Tsurugi explains that it was stolen from its home by [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunters]], but their plane crashed while they were transporting it, causing it to get away and wind up here. This also explains why it's so distrustful towards [[human]]s. Goh's objective is to catch Ninetales so that it can be returned to its home on [[Mount Lanakila]]. | ||
Once the weather clears, Tsurugi tells Ash and Goh to leave, but Goh protests, noting that the time limit isn't over yet. He's also figured out something: since Ninetales originally lived on Mount Lanakila, it might want to live somewhere that looks like its former home, such as a nearby mountain peak. Tsurugi follows Ash and Goh there, where they indeed find Ninetales. They try to convince Ninetales to let them catch it so they can take it back home, but it remains hostile towards them. As such, Goh is forced to battle it, calling out his {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}} and telling it to use {{m|Quick Attack}}, which gets countered by Ninetales's {{m|Dazzling Gleam}}. Cinderace next goes for a {{m|Blaze Kick}}, while Ninetales sets up an {{m|Aurora Veil}} to protect itself. Goh tells Cinderace to power through with {{m|Pyro Ball}}, which, despite being weakened by the defensive barrier, still hits Ninetales. | Once the weather clears, Tsurugi tells Ash and Goh to leave, but Goh protests, noting that the time limit isn't over yet.

Meanwhile, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} are not faring well against Regice, so Tsurugi takes over. As Regice starts charging for a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, Tsurugi calls out his {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Urshifu|Single Strike Style}} {{p|Urshifu}}, a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that Ash has never seen before, so he checks it out with his [[Rotom Phone]]. Before Regice's Hyper Beam can go off, Tsurugi commands Urshifu to use {{m|Wicked Blow}}, striking the {{pkmn|category|Iceberg Pokémon}} hard enough to send it smashing back into the wall of ice from which it had emerged. Tsurugi tells Regice to behave itself until he comes back for it, before heading back to base with Ash and Goh. | Meanwhile, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} are not faring well against Regice, so Tsurugi takes over.

Back at the base, Ash and Goh warm themselves back up. | Back at the base, Ash and Goh warm themselves back up. Danika enters and says she's verified the Alolan Ninetales, and thanks the two for saving it. She then reveals that the mission they just cleared was, in fact, not a Trial Mission, but a mission to see if Goh was qualified to be an official Project Mew challenger. Now that he is, he's eligible to take on actual Trial Missions, regardless of what Tsurugi had told him earlier about him being disqualified. Ash understands that this is what Gary's earlier warning about the project's difficulty had meant. | ||
Hodaka also enters the room, congratulating Goh and talking with Tsurugi about Regice's appearance. Goh asks Hodaka if he truly believes that Regice is connected to the origins of Pokémon, which he confirms. When Goh asks if it is connected to Mew, Hodaka asks him and Ash if they've ever thought of what Pokémon actually are and where they come from. He believes that Mew, the ancestor of all Pokémon, could hold the key to solving those questions, revealing that solving this ultimate mystery is the ultimate goal of Project Mew. Goh is now even more pumped up to be a member, and as they head back to the base of Mt. Coronet, Hodaka invites him and Ash to come look at the data collected about Regice with him. | Hodaka also enters the room, congratulating Goh and talking with Tsurugi about Regice's appearance.
