Synopsis:

The series follows Satoshi, a Pokémon trainer, and his partner Pikachu as they arrive in the Alola region after a family trip. Their initial excitement at exploring Melemele Island quickly leads them to the Pokémon School, a place dedicated to understanding the unique bond between trainers and Pokémon. There, they encounter Kaki and other students, navigating lessons and challenges alongside the looming threat of Team Skull.

A pivotal encounter with the guardian deity Pokémon, Kapu Kokeko, introduces Satoshi to Z-Moves – powerful attacks exclusive to Alola. Receiving a Z-Ring, he embarks on a journey to master these abilities while facing rivals like Team Rocket and participating in the Island Challenge. The narrative blends elements of exploration and character development, examining themes of teamwork, personal growth, and the responsibility that comes with harnessing great power within a vibrant and unfamiliar setting.
