JN073: Difference between revisions

After arriving in Galar, Ash and Goh immediately start looking around for a Falinks. Goh spots what he initially thinks is a {{i|Poké Ball}} lying on the ground, but quickly turns out to be a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Stunfisk}} instead. After scanning it with his [[Rotom Phone]], Goh quickly proceeds to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it, before resuming the search for Falinks. Meanwhile, Eiscue has washed up ashore, and ends up tripping on a Galarian {{p|Slowpoke}}'s tail and hitting a rock, shattering the ice around its face. Panicking, it spots an ice cream cart nearby and manages to refreeze its head in the cart's freezer before the vendor grabs it by accident and proceeds to toss it away and onto a bypassing truck.

Ash and Goh finally locate a Falinks. As Goh's Rotom Phone tells them that a Falinks consists of a brass and five troopers, they observe it demonstrating its teamwork by easily defeating a {{p|Boldore}} and doing other sorts of activities. However, it soon turns out that the brass isn't all that good at commanding the troopers, indicating that they've only recently started working together. When {{TP|Goh|Grookey}} gets into its usual mischief and starts hitting Falinks with its stick, the {{pkmn|category|Formation Pokémon}} grows irritated and attacks him. Reacting quickly, Ash has {{AP|Pikachu}} use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to defend him and Goh. The attack causes Falinks to fall apart, with the brass rolling down the hill. Goh runs after the brass while Ash takes care of the troopers. Goh manages to catch the brass just before it rolled into the river, and as it recovers, he apologizes for what Ash did and tells it they should go back. The brass, however, is hesitant, as it lacks confidence in its leadership skills. Meanwhile, Ash has managed to gather all the troopers back together. With the brass absent, the troopers start following Pikachu around instead, much to Pikachu's dislike.

While Ash and Goh observes Falinks's synchronized movements and recognize it as a sign of improved teamwork, Eiscue, which has been on a wild ride around the nearby area, appears before them and ends up running into Falinks. Aggravated, Falinks challenges Eiscue to a battle. During the battle, the brass demonstrates its improved confidence by effectively commanding the troopers in both attack and defense. However, when the battle causes the ice around Eiscue's face to break, it panicks again and runs off. Still, Ash and Goh are impressed by what they saw, and decide to head back, having gotten all the Falinks data they wanted. After a brief discussion between the brass and the troopers, Falinks expresses its willingness to come along with Goh. Happily agreeing to this, Goh then catches Falinks. Ash is excited by thinking of all the Galarian Pokémon that he hasn't seen yet, him and Goh agrees to visit the region again for more research later on.

Meanwhile, Eiscue, having fallen into a river, drifts out into the ocean, the ice around its face slowly reforming, until it eventually finds itself back home with its colony, making him happy.
