'''Who's That Pokémon?''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|だれだ？|Dare da?}}''' ''Who is it?'') is a question-and-answer segment that is featured in numerous episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It has also been posted on [[The Pokémon Company International]]'s official [https://www.facebook.com/Pokemon Facebook] and [https://twitter.com/Pokemon Twitter] accounts, on [[Niantic]]'s [[Pokémon GO]] [https://twitter.com/PokemonGoApp twitter account], and appeared in {{g|X and Y}} as the puzzle for the [[Lumiose Gym]].

==History==
===English dub===
In the English [[dub]], ''Who's That Pokémon?'' was originally used from the episodes ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''; the segment later returned in ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', after an almost seven-year absence. It occurs before and after the main commercial break during the episode. The silhouette of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is shown, with someone usually asking the audience to guess the Pokémon that belongs to the given outline. After the commercial break, the name of the Pokémon is revealed, usually with the current main characters shouting the name of the Pokémon, as well as the [[cry]] of the Pokémon shown. The segment was retired at the end of the [[S06|sixth season]] of the anime and was replaced with [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]], which was dropped from the dub after two seasons. At the beginning of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', it did not initially feature the Pokémon's cry after being revealed, although this returned in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]''. For unknown reasons, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' was removed from the [[Pokémon in the United Kingdom|CITV]] airings of the first two episodes of ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'', and all following episodes use a slight international variation, showing the silhouette of the Pokémon at the mid-way point of the episode (as would be expected), and then revealing the Pokémon just before the end credits.

Early in its run, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' would feature a Pokémon who played a major role in that episode. In late [[S01|Kanto]] it switched to featuring a Pokémon that played a major role in the following episode, although this wasn't always the case. When [[S04|Johto League Champions]] began, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' became random, with the featured Pokémon usually not playing a prominent role in that episode, nor did it indicate a Pokémon being featured in a following episode. Also beginning with that [[season]], the dub added a short hint onscreen to aid in the identification of the Pokémon until the end of the [[S06|sixth season]]. When the feature returned in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'', it originally featured a Pokémon that played a prominent role in the following episode before later switching to a Pokémon with a prominent role in that episode, beginning with ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]''.

In line with the original Japanese version, the segment was slightly altered in [[S23|Journeys]], where instead of seeing the silhouette of a Pokémon, the viewer is shown a magnified part of their body. [[Goh]]'s [[Rotom Phone]] reads out the segment, but does not exclaim the answer.

===Original Japanese version===
[[File:PMTV EP222.png|thumb|250px|Pocket Monster TV version two]]
In the original Japanese version of the show, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' was used from [[EP001]] to [[EP274]] and then returned in [[BW061]]. In this version, it almost always featured a Pokémon that played a major role in that episode.

Starting in [[EP192]], the segment was renamed '''Pocket Monster TV''' (written in English from [[EP211]]). There was no functional difference; however, the kids' voices were replaced with a computerized voice, the background was changed, and it showed the featured Pokémon's [[National Pokédex]] number. From [[EP211]], the segment was revamped again, with the following segments being in widescreen. [[EP192]] through [[EP210]] were later altered to the updated version of ''Pocket Monster TV'' when released on VHS.

The segment was retired at the end of the [[original series]], and was replaced in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' with a generic [[eyecatch]] showing the main characters. This continued into ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' and long into ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. ''Who's That Pokémon?'' returned to Japanese television in [[BW061]]. In this version, all of the [[type]]s that the Pokémon is weak against are listed along with its name. {{AP|Pikachu}} will use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to light up parts of the silhouetted Pokémon as a hint, as with Pocket Monster TV.

In ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', the segment is slightly modified. Now called [[Pokémon Quiz]], the segment presents the viewer with four flashcards bearing different silhouettes and asks them to identify the correct Pokémon. Usually, one card is {{TRT}} as a decoy choice. The segment once again returned to the typical ''Who's That Pokémon?'' in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese version, there are several occasions where the segment intentionally tricks the audience.
** In [[EP018]], the silhouette is actually [[Brutella]] instead of a Pokémon.
** In [[EP056]], the Pokémon is actually {{p|Jigglypuff}} from above rather than a perfectly spherical Pokémon like {{p|Voltorb}} or {{p|Electrode}}, a reference to the exam question within the episode.
** In [[EP082]], the silhouette is actually a {{wp|Daruma doll}} instead of a Pokémon.
** In [[EP111]] and [[SM046]], the silhouette appears to be {{p|Pikachu}}, but is actually just a {{m|transform}}ed {{p|Ditto}}.
** In [[EP161]], the Pokémon is actually [[Jessie]] dressed as a {{p|Venomoth}}. When the "Pokémon" is revealed, the [[narrator]] says "Venomoth", but the children shout, "Incorrect!"
* {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} has made two distinct "Who's That Pokémon?" appearances. Its [[EP091|first]] treats it as a regular Pokémon while in [[EP164|the second]], it telepathically says "Prepare to battle", akin to {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01|its depiction in the anime}}.
* ''[[EP204|Right On, Rhydon!]]'' is the only episode, before ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', to feature a ''Who's That Pokémon?'' in the {{pmin|Italy|Italian}} dub.
* Some regions outside of North America using the American dub of Pokémon: Black & White, show the second part of ''Who's That Pokémon?'' at the end of the episode instead of straight after the commercial break. This is likely done because several TV channels don't broadcast the commercials in the same break as the U.S. version.
** This was reverted to the old way in some areas at the beginning of ''[[S16|Adventures in Unova]]''.
* ''[[XY078|Lights! Camera! Pika!]]'' is the only episode not to feature the segment since its return in the beginning of ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''.
* The Japanese version of ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' marks the first time {{MTR|a Pokémon}} has ever left the screen during the segment.
* Starting with ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', the ''Who's That Pokémon?'' segment has not been leading into or coming back from the commercial break in the US. This may be due to {{wp|Cartoon Network}} airing ''Mixels'' shorts during ''Pokémon''.
* This segment is skipped by [[Netflix]] on its prints of Indigo-era and Orange Islands-era episodes. It's also skipped on the [[List_of_digital_home_video_releases_of_Pokémon_anime#Pok.C3.A9mon:_Indigo_League|digital home video release of the Indigo League]].
** This segment was also skipped by {{pmin|South Asia|Hungama TV in India}} for about half of [[S01|season 1]]. It was started after that, but was still occasionally skipped until ''[[EP089|Shell Shock]]'', from which point it permanently resumed.
* In the original Japanese versions, the text reading "Pocket Monsters" would open up with lightning flashing around it. The lightning that opened the text was later removed following the [[EP038]] incident.
* ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' is the only series to not feature the segment or have a game in between.
* The segment is mostly narrated by Ash and {{ashfr}} in both dubs, while Ash narrates for the [[BW142|finale]] [[XYS05|episodes]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', as well as the [[BW001|opening]] episode of the first mentioned series. As of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', other characters also narrate the segment.

===Errors===
{{Incomplete|section|Double check for errors in ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' and ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''}}
* In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', {{p|Primeape}}'s nostrils are missing.
* In ''[[EP125|Little Big Horn]]'', {{p|Totodile}}'s nostrils are missing.
* In ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]'', {{p|Cyndaquil}}'s arm is missing.
* In ''[[EP197|The Art of Pokémon]]'', {{p|Beedrill}} is stated to be the evolved form of {{p|Weedle}}, when it is actually the final evolution of Weedle.
* In ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'', the word {{p|Magnemite}} uses the incorrect plural form of ''Magnemites''.
* In ''[[EP240|Some Like it Hot]]'', {{p|Mantine}} is stated to be the heaviest {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} when it is actually the second heaviest after {{p|Steelix}}.
** This same mistake occurs in ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook 3]]''.
* In ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]'', tail is misspelled as ''tale''.
* In ''[[AG018|On a Wingull and a Prayer!]]'', {{p|Sentret}}'s face is missing.
* In ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]'', balloon-like is misspelled as baloonlike.
* In ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]'', {{p|Vigoroth}} has its footprint included in the space between its left arm and its left leg.
* In ''[[AG028|Seeing is Believing!]]'', {{p|Wurmple}} has a white square covering part of its body.
* In ''[[AG036|The Spheal of Approval]]'', the hint has an extra '''in'''.
* In ''[[BW013|Minccino—Neat and Tidy!]]'', {{p|Minccino}} is misspelled as ''Mincinno''. This was fixed in the American DVD release.
* In ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]'', when the segment asks "Who's that Pokémon?", there is no logo for Pokémon Black and White underneath the silhouette of Beheeyem.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Pokémon Journeys: The Series''}}
{{search|seventh [[series]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}|its eponymous first season|S23}} ''For the quest undertaken by a [[Pokémon Trainer]], see [[Pokémon journey]].''

[[File:Season 23 logo.png|thumb|English logo]]
[[File:Pocket Monsters 2019 logo.png|thumb|Japanese logo for ''Pocket Monsters'']]
'''''Pokémon Journeys: The Series''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'') is the seventh [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]]. This anime series is based on the events of all the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, including the [[Generation VIII]] games {{g|Sword and Shield}}. It follows ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. It premiered on November 17, 2019 in Japan, though the first episode was shown at a special screening two days earlier. The first four episodes premiered in the United Kingdom on May 25, 2020 as a sneak peek. The series is set to premiere on June 12, 2020 in the United States.

The series features "double protagonists" [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[Goh]], along with their partners {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Goh|Raboot}}. Ash and Goh travel around the {{pkmn|world}}, specifically all [[region]]s that have appeared in the [[core series]] (from [[Kanto]] to [[Galar]]), and meet {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from each region while pursuing their respective goals. Ash continues his pursuit of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]] by entering the [[World Coronation Series]], with the hopes of one day having an official match with the reigning Monarch, [[Leon]]. Goh, having had a fateful encounter with {{p|Mew}} when he was six, dreams of one day catching the [[Mythical Pokémon]], and he is currently filling his [[Pokédex]] in the hopes that it will get him closer to his dream. The series also features a young girl named [[Chloe]], who has a {{p|Yamper}}, and her father [[Professor Cerise]], who runs the [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Vermilion City]].

As with the previous three series of the anime, this series introduces a new art style. For instance, Ash's eyes (both the irises and the overall eyes) are drawn larger than in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''.

Episodes in ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' are numbered with {{bp|Epicode|the prefix}} '''JN''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[list of Pokémon Journeys: The Series episodes]].

==Dub seasons==

==Trivia==
* The Japanese name for this [[series]] retrieves its [[Original series|original title]]: ''Pocket Monsters''.
* The design of the Japanese logo of the series is shared with [[M20]] and [[M21]], which are not [[canon]] with the main series.
** This also makes it the first series logo to not have any shade of green, being completely blue instead. It is also the first one without any 3D perspective, having a flat 2D design.
* In the United States, Netflix provides an epilepsy warning at the beginning of each episode, marking the first time that the warning has been used outside of Japan. The warning reads, "Some scenes have a strobing effect that may affect photosensitive viewers."
* This is the only series:
** To be set in more than two game-original [[region]]s.
** In which Ash wears shorts instead of long pants in his standard outfit.
** In which the first Pokémon Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} was not introduced in the current generation.
** In which the first Pokémon Ash caught was fully-evolved.
** Other than the {{series2|original}} to be put on an extended hiatus; in this case, it was brought on by a production shutdown due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].
** In which Ash only has one {{ashfr|traveling companion}}.
** In which Ash does not have a female traveling companion.

==Blurb==

<i>In Pallet Town, a young Ash Ketchum is beside himself with anticipation—he’s going to Professor Oak’s Pokémon Camp! But when the day arrives, he oversleeps, and Professor Oak and the other campers leave without him. Two of the young campers, Goh and Chloe, become separated from the group and encounter the Mythical Pokémon Mew—and Goh vows to catch it someday!

Meanwhile, a once-lonely Pichu is spending its days with a group of friendly Kangaskhan, but when the time comes for it to set off on its own, it suddenly evolves into Pikachu! After some time, Pikachu ends up at Professor Oak’s lab…and the rest is history!</i>

==Plot==
Four years prior to when he began his [[Pokémon journey]], a six-year-old {{Ash}} rushes downstairs to show {{Delia|his mother}} a poster advertising {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon camp. Seeing her son's enthusiasm, Delia agrees to sign him up, but she admits he will have to get himself up since she has things to do. However, Ash is too excited to listen. Meanwhile, in the forested outskirts of [[Pallet Town]], a young {{p|Pichu}} observes his surroundings before being attacked by a {{p|Ekans}}, though Pichu uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} to defend himself. Ekans slithers away, while the electrical discharge leaves Pichu exhausted.

Pichu quickly recovers and quickly notices, unlike all the other [[wild Pokémon]], that he is alone. Just then, a group of {{p|Koffing}} floats by and unleashes an odor, leaving Pichu so disoriented that he falls over a cliff. However, he is caught by a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. Pichu is initially frightened by the large Kangaskhan mother, but he quickly takes a liking to her and her child. As the Kangaskhan herd prepares to leave, the mother places Pichu in her pouch. The herd later stops by some [[Oran Berry]] trees to eat, with both the Kangaskhan baby and Pichu each getting a Berry to enjoy. Having finally found a place where he belongs, Pichu continues to live with the Kangaskhan.

Several weeks later, Professor Oak's camp begins. While many of the attendees including [[Chloe]] and her friend [[Goh]] have arrived on time Ash is still sleeping as, in his excitment, has broken his alarm clock. Goh and Chloe are eager to begin their field trip, so Professor Oak decides to set off and stop waiting for Ash. Ash eventually wakes up, and in a panic, he rushes out of home still wearing his pajamas desperate to make it to the lab before everyone leaves. During the forest excursion, the kids and Oak observe a young {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} herself a {{p|Caterpie}}. Throughout the day, Goh continues to showcase his Pokémon knowledge, identifying every Pokémon in sight and reciting facts about them. While the other kids are impressed, Chloe orders Goh to allow Professor Oak to do the talking instead. However, Goh continues to provide his input, even correcting Oak on his statement that all Pokémon evolve.

While Oak leads the group over a bridge, Goh and Chloe lag behind. Chloe tells Goh that he should focus on making friends instead, but Goh insists that he wants to find a rare and never-before-seen Pokémon. Chloe dismisses Goh's ambition as a dream, but Goh asserts that it is the future. The [[cry]] of a {{p|Nidoking}} attracts their attention, and Goh hones in on Nidoking's opponent, a {{p|Mew}}. Nidoking uses {{m|Earth Power}}, but Mew simply {{m|Teleport}}s to evade. Mew replies with the same [[move]], which easily hits the Nidoking. As Nidoking attempts a {{m|Sludge Wave}}, Mew Teleports away again before retaliating with the same move once again. Nidoking becomes frustrated and launches a {{m|Fire Blast}} at his shifty opponent, though Mew again evades and then proceeds to defeat Nidoking with its own Fire Blast. Chloe and Goh are impressed by the mysterious Pokémon, and they give chase as it flies away. In their search, the pair come across a {{p|Magmar}}, though Mew quickly {{m|Transform}}s to its regular form to reveal itself. Mew leaves yet again with Goh and Chloe in pursuit, transforming into a {{p|Tauros}} to run across the land before changing into a {{p|Lapras}} to travel downstream.

Elsewhere, Pichu continues to enjoy his time with the Kangaskhan family. He plays a game of hide-and-seek, but is quickly spotted by the Kangaskhan baby, ending the round. While searching for Pichu again, the young Kangaskhan spots a Lapras as it cruises down the river. Lapras reveals itself to be Mew, who quickly takes interest in the Kangaskhan baby. Mew overhears Goh and Chloe’s voices and flies away, though the Kangaskhan baby scales some ledges to follow its mysterious encounter. Meanwhile, the Kangaskhan mothers call their babies out for a {{p|Chansey}} egg meal. Pichu and the Kangaskhan mother soon notice the infant's absence and begin to search for it. The search party makes their way over to the stream, where they overhear the young Kangaskhan's cries. While chasing after Mew, the ledge underfoot gives way, sending the young Kangaskhan hurtling towards the water below. Chloe and Goh stop as they hear the young one's screams. Mew turns back and promptly uses {{m|Psychic}} to save the Kangaskhan baby from harm, and returning her to her mother’s arms. With the family united, Mew soars away. Afterwards, Professor Oak rushes towards the two kids, relieved to have finally found them. While returning to the rest of the group, Oak speculates they encountered a Mew, a [[Mythical Pokémon]] believed to contain the genes of all Pokémon. Hearing this, Goh sets his sights on catching Mew one day. Ash, meanwhile, sits on his bed at home, miserable at having missed the camp entirely.

Some time passes, and both Pichu and the Kangaskhan baby have grown. The Kangaskhan herd seeks refuge from a rainstorm in a cave, but Pichu notices that his adoptive mother is having trouble carrying both of them at once now. He tries to jump out to lighten her load, but the mother Kangaskhan picks him right back up. As the night falls, Pichu knows it is time to move on. While the Kangaskhan are fast asleep, Pichu leaves his adoptive mother's pouch. He takes a moment to observe his family as they sleep, and ventures outside with a tear in his eye. Grateful for their kindness and company, Pichu suddenly [[Evolution|evolves]] into a {{AP|Pikachu}}. Looking in a nearby puddle, Pikachu is initially startled by his unfamiliar reflection, before twirling around in excitement. Pikachu waves goodbye to his adoptive family, before leaving under the cover of nightfall.

[[EP001|Four years later]], Professor Oak gives this very Pikachu to Ash, who is now an aspiring young Trainer. Pikachu, however, isn't happy with Ash's enthusiasm and shocks him with Thunder Shock. However, as time passes, Ash and Pikachu become close friends.

==Major events==

* [[Goh]], [[Chloe]], and [[Professor Cerise]] are introduced.
* A young Goh and Chloe encounter a {{p|Mew}} at age six, and Goh decides to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it one day.
* [[Ash's Pikachu]] is revealed to have evolved from a {{p|Pichu}} four years before the [[EP001|start]] of {{Ash}}'s {{pkmn|journey}}.

==Blurb==

<i>In Pallet Town, a young Ash Ketchum is beside himself with anticipation—he’s going to Professor Oak’s Pokémon Camp! But when the day arrives, he oversleeps, and Professor Oak and the other campers leave without him. Two of the young campers, Goh and Chloe, become separated from the group and encounter the Mythical Pokémon Mew—and Goh vows to catch it someday!

Meanwhile, a once-lonely Pichu is spending its days with a group of friendly Kangaskhan, but when the time comes for it to set off on its own, it suddenly evolves into Pikachu! After some time, Pikachu ends up at Professor Oak’s lab…and the rest is history!</i>

==Plot==
Four years prior to when he began his [[Pokémon journey]], a six-year-old {{Ash}} rushes downstairs to show {{Delia|his mother}} a poster advertising {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon camp. Seeing her son's enthusiasm, Delia agrees to sign him up, but she admits he will have to get himself up since she has things to do. However, Ash is too excited to listen. Meanwhile, in the forested outskirts of [[Pallet Town]], a young {{p|Pichu}} observes his surroundings before being attacked by a {{p|Ekans}}, though Pichu uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} to defend himself. Ekans slithers away, while the electrical discharge leaves Pichu exhausted.

Pichu quickly recovers and quickly notices, unlike all the other [[wild Pokémon]], that he is alone. Just then, a group of {{p|Koffing}} floats by and unleashes an odor, leaving Pichu so disoriented that he falls over a cliff. However, he is caught by a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. Pichu is initially frightened by the large Kangaskhan mother, but he quickly takes a liking to her and her child. As the Kangaskhan herd prepares to leave, the mother places Pichu in her pouch. The herd later stops by some [[Oran Berry]] trees to eat, with both the Kangaskhan baby and Pichu each getting a Berry to enjoy. Having finally found a place where he belongs, Pichu continues to live with the Kangaskhan.

Several weeks later, Professor Oak's camp begins. While many of the attendees including [[Chloe]] and her friend [[Goh]] have arrived on time Ash is still sleeping as, in his excitment, has broken his alarm clock. Goh and Chloe are eager to begin their field trip, so Professor Oak decides to set off and stop waiting for Ash. Ash eventually wakes up, and in a panic, he rushes out of home still wearing his pajamas desperate to make it to the lab before everyone leaves. During the forest excursion, the kids and Oak observe a young {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} herself a {{p|Caterpie}}. Throughout the day, Goh continues to showcase his Pokémon knowledge, identifying every Pokémon in sight and reciting facts about them. While the other kids are impressed, Chloe orders Goh to allow Professor Oak to do the talking instead. However, Goh continues to provide his input, even correcting Oak on his statement that all Pokémon evolve.

While Oak leads the group over a bridge, Goh and Chloe lag behind. Chloe tells Goh that he should focus on making friends instead, but Goh insists that he wants to find a rare and never-before-seen Pokémon. Chloe dismisses Goh's ambition as a dream, but Goh asserts that it is the future. The [[cry]] of a {{p|Nidoking}} attracts their attention, and Goh hones in on Nidoking's opponent, a {{p|Mew}}. Nidoking uses {{m|Earth Power}}, but Mew simply {{m|Teleport}}s to evade. Mew replies with the same [[move]], which easily hits the Nidoking. As Nidoking attempts a {{m|Sludge Wave}}, Mew Teleports away again before retaliating with the same move once again. Nidoking becomes frustrated and launches a {{m|Fire Blast}} at his shifty opponent, though Mew again evades and then proceeds to defeat Nidoking with its own Fire Blast. Chloe and Goh are impressed by the mysterious Pokémon, and they give chase as it flies away. In their search, the pair come across a {{p|Magmar}}, though Mew quickly {{m|Transform}}s to its regular form to reveal itself. Mew leaves yet again with Goh and Chloe in pursuit, transforming into a {{p|Tauros}} to run across the land before changing into a {{p|Lapras}} to travel downstream.

Elsewhere, Pichu continues to enjoy his time with the Kangaskhan family. He plays a game of hide-and-seek, but is quickly spotted by the Kangaskhan baby, ending the round. While searching for Pichu again, the young Kangaskhan spots a Lapras as it cruises down the river. Lapras reveals itself to be Mew, who quickly takes interest in the Kangaskhan baby. Mew overhears Goh and Chloe’s voices and flies away, though the Kangaskhan baby scales some ledges to follow its mysterious encounter. Meanwhile, the Kangaskhan mothers call their babies out for a {{p|Chansey}} egg meal. Pichu and the Kangaskhan mother soon notice the infant's absence and begin to search for it. The search party makes their way over to the stream, where they overhear the young Kangaskhan's cries. While chasing after Mew, the ledge underfoot gives way, sending the young Kangaskhan hurtling towards the water below. Chloe and Goh stop as they hear the young one's screams. Mew turns back and promptly uses {{m|Psychic}} to save the Kangaskhan baby from harm, and returning her to her mother’s arms. With the family united, Mew soars away. Afterwards, Professor Oak rushes towards the two kids, relieved to have finally found them. While returning to the rest of the group, Oak speculates they encountered a Mew, a [[Mythical Pokémon]] believed to contain the genes of all Pokémon. Hearing this, Goh sets his sights on catching Mew one day. Ash, meanwhile, sits on his bed at home, miserable at having missed the camp entirely.

Some time passes, and both Pichu and the Kangaskhan baby have grown. The Kangaskhan herd seeks refuge from a rainstorm in a cave, but Pichu notices that his adoptive mother is having trouble carrying both of them at once now. He tries to jump out to lighten her load, but the mother Kangaskhan picks him right back up. As the night falls, Pichu knows it is time to move on. While the Kangaskhan are fast asleep, Pichu leaves his adoptive mother's pouch. He takes a moment to observe his family as they sleep, and ventures outside with a tear in his eye. Grateful for their kindness and company, Pichu suddenly [[Evolution|evolves]] into a {{AP|Pikachu}}. Looking in a nearby puddle, Pikachu is initially startled by his unfamiliar reflection, before twirling around in excitement. Pikachu waves goodbye to his adoptive family, before leaving under the cover of nightfall.

[[EP001|Four years later]], Professor Oak gives this very Pikachu to Ash, who is now an aspiring young Trainer. Pikachu, however, isn't happy with Ash's enthusiasm and shocks him with Thunder Shock. However, as time passes, Ash and Pikachu become close friends.

==Trivia==
[[File:JN001 illustration.png|175px|thumb|An illustration of {{AP|Pikachu}} as a {{p|Pichu}} by [[Atsuko Nishida]]]]
* An [[a:File:JN001 illustration.png|illustration]] of this episode was drawn by [[Atsuko Nishida]].
* This is the first episode to air in Japan after the release of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* This episode serves as a prequel to the [[original series]].
* This is the first episode of a new [[series]] that does not showcase a new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} or [[region]].
* This marks the first time in the {{pkmn|anime}} where {{Ash}} is voiced by someone other than [[Rica Matsumoto]] in the Japanese version.
* This episode marks the first appearance of a number of Pokémon species in the main series after long absences:
** {{p|Kakuna}}, who last appeared in ''[[BW124|Danger, Sweet as Honey!]]'', 305 episodes ago.
** {{p|Nidoking}}, who last appeared in ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', 294 episodes ago.
** {{p|Dodrio}}, who last appeared in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', 193 episodes ago.

** {{p|Farfetch'd}}, who last appeared in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', 151 episodes ago.
* [[One, Two, Three]] replaced [[Your Adventure]] as the [[List of Japanese opening themes|Japanese opening theme]].
* This is the season premiere of [[S23|Pokemon Journeys: The Series]], and [[The Journey Starts Today]] replaces [[The Challenge of Life]] as the English opening.
* In the US [[Netflix]] dub, this is the first ever episode to utilize an epilepsy warning at the start of an episode outside of Japan, where epilepsy warnings have been broadcasted since [[EP038]].
* This is the first episode to be dubbed by [[Iyuno Media Group]], taking over from [[DuArt Media Services]].
* This is the first episode to premiere on [[Netflix]] in {{pmin|the United States}} and introduces a card labeling it a Netflix original series.

* [[Professor Cerise]], Ash, several {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, [[Goh]], and {{AP|Pikachu}} narrate the preview for the [[JN002|next episode]].

===Errors===

===Dub edits===
* The opening theme is played and the title card is shown after Pichu meets Kangaskhan rather than at the end of the episode. The opening credits are therefore no longer shown over the beginning of the episode.
* The post-credits scenes featuring [[Chloe]] and [[Goh]] are moved before the ending credits.
* The "To Be Continued" text at the end of the episode is removed.

'''''Pokémon Journeys: The Series''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'') is the seventh [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]]. This anime series is based on the events of all the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, including the [[Generation VIII]] games {{g|Sword and Shield}}. It follows ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.

The first four episodes premiered in the United Kingdom on May 25, 2020 as a sneak peek. The series is set to premiere on June 12, 2020 in the United States.

The series features "double protagonists" [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[Goh]], along with their partners {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Goh|Raboot}}. Ash and Goh travel around the {{pkmn|world}}, specifically all [[region]]s that have appeared in the [[core series]] (from [[Kanto]] to [[Galar]]), and meet {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from each region while pursuing their respective goals. Ash continues his pursuit of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]] by entering the [[World Coronation Series]], with the hopes of one day having an official match with the reigning Monarch, [[Leon]]. Goh, having had a fateful encounter with {{p|Mew}} when he was six, dreams of one day catching the [[Mythical Pokémon]], and he is currently filling his [[Pokédex]] in the hopes that it will get him closer to his dream. The series also features a young girl named [[Chloe]], who has a {{p|Yamper}}, and her father [[Professor Cerise]], who runs the [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Vermilion City]].

As with the previous three series of the anime, this series introduces a new art style. For instance, Ash's eyes (both the irises and the overall eyes) are drawn larger than in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''.

Episodes in ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' are numbered with {{bp|Epicode|the prefix}} '''JN''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[list of Pokémon Journeys: The Series episodes]].

** To be set in more than two game-original [[region]]s.
** In which Ash wears shorts instead of long pants in his standard outfit.
** In which the first Pokémon Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} was not introduced in the current generation.
** In which the first Pokémon Ash caught was fully-evolved.

===Japan===
[[File:Pokémon Center Online logo.png|thumb|100px|right|Japanese site logo]]
An online store was available in Japan from March 21, 2001 to November 30, 2006, as well as a store which was accessible via mobile phones in Japan from September 29, 2003 to November 30, 2006.

An Amazon store that sold Pokémon Center goods opened at http://www.amazon.co.jp/b?node=2430277051 on October 18, 2012. On February 16, 2016, the Pokémon Center online store reopened for customers in Japan at [https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/ pokemoncenter-online.com].

===United States===
[[File:Pokémon Center online.png|thumb|100px|The old site the day before closing]]
[[File:Pokémon Center online logo.png|thumb|left|US site logo]]
Around mid-January 2008, the Pokémon Center online store in North America displayed a closing message, encouraging shoppers to take advantage of closing sales, because the store would be closing at the end of the month. The store did close effective February 1st, but kept a Q & A site in place of the actual store. The reason given for the closing was: "Pokémon USA, Inc. (now part of [[The Pokémon Company International]]) has decided to sell Pokémon merchandise exclusively through its retail partners." The site continued to accept product returns that met their product return standards and were postmarked by February 21st of that year. If one visited [http://pokemoncenter.com pokemoncenter.com], it would redirect to [[Pokémon.com|the Pokémon website]]. On July 2, 2014, the website featured a countdown clock for the grand opening of the Pokémon Center online store and [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/Eevee-and-7-Evolution-Pokemon-Minis/dp/B00JKPI0C6 three] [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/Poke-Plush-Pikachu-Running/dp/B00JG17ZG6 different] [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/Mewtwo-Tumbler-Purple/dp/B00K5S43OG items] avaliable for early-access purchase.

On August 6, 2014, the Pokémon Center online store reopened for customers in {{pmin|the United States}} at the same URL. [[n:Pokémon Center website to return|Some fans]] were given advance access via mail, where they could access the Pokémon Center website starting July 2, 2014. These fans were given some special gifts from The Pokémon Company alongside the invitation: an iPhone 5 case, a notebook, a canteen, and a plush Special Delivery Pikachu.

{{-}}
==Trivia==
* The internal data of the [[core series]] games from Generation IV onwards contain [[Index number|location indices]] for all of the Pokémon Centers at the time.
** The Japanese and Korean version of the [[Generation IV]] games still refer to the [[#New York (Nintendo World Store)|Nintendo World Store]] as PC New York (Japanese: {{j|ＰＣ}}ニューヨーク, Korean: {{k|PC}}뉴욕), even though they were released after the remodeling. The [[Generation V]] and {{gen|VI}} games do not have a location index for the Nintendo World Store.

(now part of [[The Pokémon Company International]]) has decided to sell Pokémon merchandise exclusively through its retail partners." The site continued to accept product returns that met their product return standards and were postmarked by February 21st of that year.

Online stores were available for Japan and North America, as well as an online store which is currently accessible via mobile phones in Japan. Around mid-January 2008, the Pokémon Center online store in North America displayed a closing message, encouraging shoppers to take advantage of closing sales, because the store would be closing at the end of the month. The store did close effective February 1st, but kept a Q & A site in place of the actual store. The reason given for the closing was: "Pokémon USA, Inc. (now part of [[The Pokémon Company International]]) has decided to sell Pokémon merchandise exclusively through its retail partners." The site continued to accept product returns that met their product return standards and were postmarked by February 21st of that year. Now if one visits [http://pokemoncenter.com pokemoncenter.com], it will redirect to [[Pokémon.com|the Pokémon website]].

'''Volt Switch''' (Japanese: '''ボルトチェンジ''' ''Volt Change'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Electric}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
Volt Switch deals damage and then switches the user out. The user will not be switched out if the user is the only Pokémon in the party that is able to battle, if Volt Switch fails to hit the target, if using Volt Switch ends the battle, if the opponent's ability prevents damage from Volt Switch, or if the opponent is [[Ground (type)|Ground type]]. If Volt Switch faints a foe Trainer's Pokémon, the next Pokémon sent out by the user will not be counted for additional experience.

If the foe Pokémon uses {{m|Pursuit}} on the same turn Volt Switch is used, Pursuit will deal normal damage if the foe is faster, or double damage if the foe is slower than the user.

Volt Switch may be used to switch out of {{m|Ingrain}}, but Ingrain's effects will not be passed on. Volt Switch can also be used to switch out even if the user is under the effect of {{a|Arena Trap}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}}, {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{m|Mean Look}}, {{m|Spider Web}}, or {{m|Block}}. Volt Switch will not force a switch if the user is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Red Card}}

==Plot==
The movie begins with the world of Pokémon opening, showing the [[Unova]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} populating the land, seas and skies. The screen moves towards [[Ash's Pikachu]], who starts running while powering up and {{m|Electro Ball}} and fires it at a {{p|Throh}} in ''Victini and Zekrom'', or a {{p|Sawk}} in ''Victini and Reshiram''. Pikachu then runs to Ash and the trio reaches a fork in the road; {{an|Cilan}} looks at his map and tells the group to go left in White Hero, right in Black Hero.

In ''Victini and Zekrom'', the screen then moves to a hot desert and a man named [[Dread Grangil]] appears and continues walking until he sees a young {{p|Blitzle}} with an injured leg. Dread then calls upon his {{p|Reuniclus}}'s {{m|Psychic}} to help him carry the injured Blitzle on his shoulder. Dread, Reinculus, and Blitzle turn to walk back to a small village to find Blitzle's owner, a little girl named [[Shade]]. Shade's father thanks Dread for helping, but tells him to go home and that his plans are useless. Dread then tells the man that [[Eindoak]] can be revived, but Dread is still turned away.

At that moment, a tornado appears in the desert heading towards the village. A herd of {{p|Bouffalant}} are startled by this and stampede towards the village. Dread goes to check out the disaster and holds up his hand, making {{OBP|Reshiram|movie 14}} appear. Dread then climbs on Reshiram's back and orders it to destroy the tornado, which it does with power and ease. Dread then asks the townspeople to give him another chance, who are shocked by the [[legendary Pokémon]]'s appearance.

In ''Victini and Reshiram'', the scene instead shows Dread and his {{p|Gothitelle}} traveling to a town on a frozen tundra. He discusses the matter of the [[Hometown of the Earth]]'s revival with a resident there, but is again turned away before asking where [[Yajin]], the town's chief, is. Meanwhile, Yajin and her son [[Aude]] are on a cliff working to find herbs with his {{p|Lillipup}}'s help. Nearby are a group of {{p|Beartic}} that become agitated when a giant iceberg hits the land. The cliff fractures, causing Aude to fall; the problem then becomes worse when the land breaks off and floats right into the path of the huge iceberg. Dread's Gothitelle saves Aude's Lillipup from falling, then Dread himself appears with {{OBP|Zekrom|movie 14}} to destroy the iceberg. Awed by the appearance of Zekrom, Yajin and her village reconsider Dread's proposal.

Near Eindoak, Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} find a pair of {{p|Deerling}} in danger on a cliff face. Ash attempts to rescue them but begins to fall himself; however, he is rescued when {{OBP|Victini|movie 14}} touches his foot out of his sight, giving him the ability to jump hundreds of feet across the canyon. Now separated from his stunned friends, Ash agrees to meet Iris and Cilan later and heads into a cave with the two Deerling. Victini continually shows Ash visions of the path he should take, allowing him to find his way through the cave into the lower chambers of Eindoak's castle, where he reunites with his friends. Cilan tells him that this is the legendary castle known as the "Earth's Sword", which is said to have flown from a valley far away into its current location. While exploring the castle, Ash, Iris and Cilan share some macarons among themselves, but Victini keeps stealing Ash's by turning invisible, much to his disbelief. Eventually, fireworks can be heard outside, which cause Victini to choke on a macaron and make Ash realize he may be too late for the town's battle tournament. The group runs into a plain-clothed Dread, who introduces himself as the castle's caretaker and offers to escort them to the town, which they accept.

In the town square, the group meets a woman named [[Janta]], who runs a souvenir stand with her {{p|Golurk}} (which is {{Shiny}} in ''Victini and Reshiram'') The town's mayor, [[Mormont]], gives a speech to the townspeople congratulating them for the bountiful harvest they have collected before explaining the tournament's rules. Each competitor has been given a necklace and must challenge other competitors throughout the town, with a losing trainer surrendering their necklace to the one who defeats them. Mormont sends his {{p|Klink}}, {{p|Klang}} and {{p|Klinklang}} into a large music machine, starting the festival.

In the first round of the battle, Ash faces [[Mako]] and her {{p|Serperior}}, which he defeats with Pikachu's {{m|Electro Ball}}. Iris battles a trainer named [[Tatsuki]] and his {{p|Emboar}} with her {{TP|Iris|Emolga}}, but Emolga uses {{m|Volt Switch}}, causing {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to come out and Iris to forfeit the match. Cilan's [[Cilan's Pansage|Pansage]] faces [[Carlita]] and her {{p|Hydreigon}} ({{Shiny}} in ''Victini and Zekrom'') but loses easily. Ash and {{AP|Oshawott}} later battle Tatsuki and defeat Emboar with {{m|Aqua Jet}}, then they face [[Rīku]] and his {{p|Samurott}}. Ash sends {{AP|Tepig}} against Samurott, and it gets effortlessly smashed into Janta's stand by Samurott's {{m|Razor Shell}}. However, Victini covertly appears and powers up Tepig, allowing it to defeat Samurott instantly. Carlita witnesses this, and, becoming suspicious, challenges Ash. When Ash's {{AP|Scraggy}} attempts to {{m|Headbutt}} Hydreigon it is knocked into a bush, where Carlita sees Victini give Scraggy a powerup that enables it to defeat Hydreigon. Carlita surrenders her necklace to Ash and reveals to Ash that Victini helped him.

Suspicious that Victini was the one who stole the macarons, Ash uses one to bait it out. It appears, and Ash excitedly tries to befriend it. Initially it is receptive but becomes alarmed when Ash swings it around enthusiastically, then when Ash tries to take it elsewhere in town, he inadvertently goes near giant pillars that Victini seems to be afraid of, activating a magical barrier around the castle area that Victini cannot leave. Upset by hitting the barrier, Victini flees. Later, while looking for Victini with Janta and Carlita, they run into Mormont and Dread. It is revealed that Dread is Janta's son and Carlita's older brother. He has been traveling and has not contacted Janta in some time, which she reprimands him for. Carlita attempts to cheer him by telling him about Victini's appearance, but he says he already knew.

At Mormont's home, Victini is found in a group of other Pokémon. Inside the house, Mormont tells the group the legend of the People of the Earth - one thousand years ago, they were a prosperous people who lived in a place called the Hometown of the Earth, the location in the valley where the Earth's Sword originally was. They used a power in the earth called the "Dragon Pulse" to enrich the land, and all was well. However, one day, the twin sons of the [[King of the People of the Earth|king]]—the Hero of Truth, who controlled Reshiram, and the Hero of Ideals, who controlled Zekrom - began a war over their beliefs. The kingdom was devastated, and the Dragon Pulse corrupted and reversed, ravaging the earth instead of healing it. Desperate, the king asked Victini to lend him its power, and he created the "Protecting Pillars" and their barrier to control the flow of that power. Using this system, the king flew the Earth's Sword with all of the townspeople inside out of the Hometown of the Earth to the location where Eindoak is, as by landing it there, the castle stopped up the flow of the Dragon Pulse. However, as soon as the castle landed, the king died, causing the Protecting Pillars to never be destroyed. Meanwhile, Reshiram and Zekrom, tired out from their battle, turned into orbs called "Dragon Stones" and were hidden deep underneath the castle by the two princes.

While watching Ash and his friends play with Victini, Dread informs his mother that her dream can now come true. In a flashback, a younger Janta is shown alongside Dread as a boy in the ruined Hometown of the Earth. Janta tells her son that she wishes the People of the Earth could one day live there again, which, Dread says in the present day, can now happen. He intends to borrow Victini's power just as the king did and return the Earth's Sword to its rightful place. Inside, Dread describes his journeys over the past three years, in which he visited the settlements to try and find support for his plan. He was always rejected until one day, after convincing Mormont to help him, he discovered the Dragon Stone containing Reshiram or Zekrom. With the dragon as his ally, the villagers in those towns agreed to help him, and now appear in Mormont's study in support of Dread's goal: the resurrection of the glory of the People of the Earth.

Ash is awoken the next morning by a dream which Victini has, in which it sees time rapidly passing from the castle and then the king saying goodbye and fading away; he inexplicably sees the dream as well. Victini takes Ash, Iris and Cilan to a balcony where it shows them the beach; Ash comes to understand that Victini wishes to go there, and promises to take it. Meanwhile, at the Earth's Sword, Janta and Carlita watch as Dread prepares to execute his plan. He sends out his {{p|Sigilyph}}, and it takes its place in a mechanism atop the chamber. Sigilyph's power awakens the hundreds of {{p|Solosis}} and {{p|Duosion}} in the lower chambers of the castle, and in turn, the Protecting Pillars activate and begin to rise. Victini becomes alarmed and flees in a frenzy from the ever-constricting barrier, eventually flying into the castle, where Dread requests that it lend him its power. At first seeing the king instead of Dread, Victini initially relaxes before being caught in another barrier that forces into the mechanism, which then begins draining its power. Just as Ash, Iris and Cilan arrive, the castle ascends into the sky, and the healthy Dragon Pulse flows out, returning to the Hometown of the Earth and beginning to restore it.

Ash, Iris, Cilan, Janta and Carlita rush into the main chamber and find Dread torturing Victini. Horrified that this was her son's plan, Janta demands he stop, which shocks and upsets him. When Ash attempts to destroy the machine draining Victini's power, Dread attacks the group with his Reuniclus or Gothitelle. Reshiram or Zekrom then arrives, and Janta attempts to fight the dragon with Golurk, but Golurk is defeated easily. Ash once again tries to climb the mechanism, but Dread's {{t|Psychic}} type knocks him out.

While unconscious, Ash has a vision of the king warning Victini to never let the Earth's Sword be moved again, because if it is, the Dragon Pulse will corrupt again and destroy the entire world. This has already begun happening, but Dread and his dragon are unaware of it due to the fact they are flying above the clouds. Ash awakens in the cellar of the castle, and Janta begs him to forgive Dread, as he truly believes he is doing the right thing. She then reveals that one thing can stop Dread's dragon - the other dragon, which should still be deep in the castle's dungeons where Ash explored at the beginning of the film. Setting out with his friends, Ash soon finds himself on a path he has no idea how he reached, followed by the total collapse of the cavern. At the bottom he finds the Dragon Stone, and hears a voice asking him of his ideal or truth. He answers that he wants to save Victini and make it happy, satisfying the voice, which reveals itself to be Zekrom or Reshiram.

Back up at the top of the castle, Janta again attempts to get Dread to stop, but he refuses, insisting that sacrifices must be made for great accomplishments. Mormont arrives, having flown to the castle in a helicopter powered by his Klink, Klang and Klinklang to warn the group of the disaster on the surface, but they already know. Golurk then returns to again fight Reshiram or Zekrom, but fails; however, before the dragon can deliver a finishing blow, its opposite arrives with Ash. Ash jumps off at the courtyard of the castle, then Zekrom and Reshiram engage in an epic battle in the sky. Inside the castle, Pikachu engages Reuniclus or Gothitelle.

Finally, Ash's dragon defeats Dread's, forcing it below the clouds, where they both see the unfolding tragedy of the deadly Dragon Pulse. Pikachu defeats Reuniclus or Gothitelle and Ash climbs the mechanism, but Dread's dragon arrives before he can destroy the barrier around Victini. Dread orders it to finish Ash off, but it ignores him and instead destroys the mechanism to free Victini. It tells him that it has heard the "Fury of the Earth," and the two dragons blow away the clouds, revealing to him the devastation his actions have caused. Panicking, Dread immediately becomes remorseful and begs Reshiram and Zekrom to help him stop the disaster and save the world. They agree and redirect the destructive Dragon Pulse into the Earth's Sword itself.

Dread warns Mormont, his family and Ash's group that they must leave immediately, as the castle may be destroyed. Iris escapes with Carlita on Hydreigon's back, while Cilan and Janta board Mormont's helicopter. Dread, meanwhile, insists that he will stay until the disaster is averted and the world is saved. However, when Ash tries to flee, the barrier generated by the Protecting Pillars continues to trap Victini inside, and Ash refuses to leave without it. The others flee to avoid being hit by the pillars, and the castle rocks back, throwing Dread out presumably to his death. Suddenly and without warning, the castle begins to go into overdrive and soars high into the sky at an uncontrollable rate.

In the Earth's atmosphere, the castle begins to ice over, and the cold and lack of air begins to cause Ash to struggle to breathe. Dread returns on Golurk's back, having been saved by his mother's Pokémon, and tells Ash to hold on, as he is one of the dragons' chosen. Reshiram and Zekrom attack the Protecting Pillars, but they malfunction and begin to constrict even further around Victini, forcing Ash out into the castle's courtyard. Dread is powerless as the pillars completely close around Ash, Pikachu and Victini, trapping them. In a desperate bid to save them, Dread has Golurk try to pry the pillars apart with its hands, but they close back up. Attempts by Reshiram and Zekrom to destroy the pillars similarly fail. Inside the prison created by the Protecting Pillars, Ash—delirious as he is near death from the freezing cold and lack of air—sadly apologizes to Victini for failing in his promise to take it to the ocean, before it becomes so cold that Ash's tears freeze and he falls unconscious.

Summoning up all of its power, Victini activates {{m|V-create}}, its ultimate move. Ash is warmed and wakes up due to the attack, and witnesses Victini use all its strength in an attack that finally destroys the Protecting Pillars once and for all. With the barrier gone, Dread re-enters the castle and wraps Ash in a blanket that helps keep him alive. Later, with Reshiram, Zekrom and Golurk pushing the castle, Dread steers it down toward the source of the deadly Dragon Pulse. He lands it just as Ash wakes up, stopping the tragedy before it can destroy the entire planet. On the beach, Ash, Iris and Cilan stare out at the ocean, saddened by the apparent death of Victini. Believing that Victini sacrificed itself to destroy the Protecting Pillars and save him, Ash apologies again before flinging one of Cilan's macarons toward the ocean. However, the macaron suddenly stops in mid-air and is eaten—Victini survived the incident and is
now freed from the barrier, just as it always dreamed.

Dread falls to his knees, overwhelmed with guilt that his actions have caused such a horrible disaster. However, Janta encourages him by telling him they will have a lot of work to do to rebuild the Hometown of the Earth. Victini sends Ash a vision of it helping them, and he understands that their time together is at an end. Bidding farewell to Dread, Janta, Carlita, Mormont and the other People of the Earth, Ash, Iris and Cilan depart for new adventures.

During the credits, Dread and Janta lead the People of the Earth in their reconstruction efforts. A single sprout is seen on the once-dead land in the Hometown of the Earth, implying that the area can indeed be revived. While traveling around, Ash, Iris and Cilan get caught in a windstorm created by {{p|Tornadus}} (in ''Victini and Zekrom'') or a thunderstorm caused by {{p|Thundurus}} (in ''Victini and Reshiram''). They later travel through a town where the [[Team Rocket trio]] watches them from a café, with [[Peg]] passing by as well. Reshiram and Zekrom continue flying throughout the world, appearing in the skies in all possible places.

Players of Black could obtain a [[List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2011#Carlita Hydreigon|Shiny Hydreigon]], based on [[Carlita]]'s, while players of White could obtain a [[List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2011#Janta Golurk|Shiny Golurk]], based on [[Janta]]'s.
