US Airdate: TBD
The class return to Ula'ula to visit the observatory atop Mount Hokulani, which is run by Sophocles' cousin, Molayne. The experience, however, becomes bittersweet when Poipole befriends a Minior.
This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
- Harmless Electrocution: As Poipole flies backwards while making a face at Ash, it bumps into Pikachu, causing him to start emitting electricity, causing almost everyone to fear for the worst, only for Togedemaru to absorb the electricity with her Lightning Rod ability, followed by Molayne's Magneton suddenly appearing out of nowhere, causing Togedemaru to unleash the electricity, electrocuting nearly everyone in the room including Pikachu. The girls and RotomDex are spared because they were on a higher elevation from the ground.
- Killed Off for Real: Toward the middle, Molayne asks Kukui how much he really wants to teach the students about Minior. Sure enough, at the end, they find out that Minior fade away if they are outside their shells too long.
- Schmuck Bait: Near the beginning of the episode Ash, Kiawe & Sophocles come across a empty Minior shell, Ash sees something purple inside it, and goes in for an extremely close look. When he does however, he gets sprayed in the face with red ink by Poipole.
