What Season 20 of Pokémon
Ash and Pikachu spend their summer vacation in Alola, a tropical region with plenty left to explore. There they discover new Pokémon and meet people to learn from, such as Professor Kukui and Gabriel Oak. Kiawe, Nereida, Lulu, Chris and the mysterious Lillie join the group and accompany the hero on his first challenges. The conflict arrives with Team Rocket, which travels to the region to get its hands on extremely powerful Pokémon. They aren't the only troublemakers, either, because Team Skull enjoys spreading chaos and may have even darker plans.
