[[Goh]] has received an email summoning him to [[Mount 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 Mount 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.

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|Amaranth}}, 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, 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 [[Quillon]] 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 Mount 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 tranquil personality. 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 {{m|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 Quillon, the Project Mew member mentioned by Danika. Goh asks Quillon why Alolan Ninetales is here in the first place. Quillon 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]].
