When Ash and Kiawe travel to the Ruins of Hope, they end up facing a dangerous challenge from Tapu Fini and Tapu Lele. Some apparitions of the past begin to appear.
This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The ghost of Sofu chastizes Kiawe and Ash after their Pokémon battle causes damage to the Ruins of Hope.
- Retired Badass: Kiawe technically uses his Ride Charizard in battle for the first time.
- Took a Level in Badass: Kiawe wins the Flyinium Z crystal, and his Charizard learns Supersonic Skystrike. This marks Charizard being "unretired" and an official part of Kiawe's battle Pokemon team.
