Japanese Title: Satoshi, Encounter Beyond Time!
Original Airdate: June 9, 2019
US Airdate: October 12, 2019
After disturbing a Celebi, Ash and Torracat end up in the past, where Ash meets a young boy who is in fact Professor Kukui when he was a kid.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: Kukui got his start studying Pokemon moves by watching those used in Pokemon battles as a young boy and making a tiny encyclopedia of them.
- Sliding Scale of Gameplay and Story Integration: Ice Ball is depicted here as Alolan Sandslash using a Rolling Attack unlike the move's other two appearances where the Pokémon (Walrein and Sealeo) shot an ice ball from its mouth which got bigger and stronger the more times it was used. This is most likely due to Pokémon Adventures and Pokémon Conquest making it clear that Ice Ball was not a projectile move.
- Mythology Gag: The entire episode is a nod to Pokémon 4Ever.
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Torracat makes easy work of its pre-evolved form.
