Pokemon Journeys unveils Ash’s first legendary Galarian battle

Pokemon Journeys: Die Serie has officially launched a new arch based on Pokemon sword and shieldIn the latest installment in the series, Ash Ketchum competed against his first legendary Galarian Pokémon. The latest installment in the series is inspired by the story of Darkest Day found in the Sword and Shield games as the anime prepares for an extensive arc that leads to unexpected battles before all is said and done. The latest installment in the series teases many of these impending battles when Ash faces Zacian in the middle of a strange fog.

Episode 42 of Pokémon Travel: the series The arc of the darkest day begins when Chariman Rose’s machine goes wrong. Dynamax energy is soon being sent across the land and Ash Ketchum and Goh decide to return to Galar for investigation. On the way there, however, their train is stopped by a thick fog that contains two great legendaries.

For fans who are familiar with the events of Pokemon sword and shieldthe fog should be familiar as it seems the anime’s way of bringing the Slumbering Weald to the series. This is demonstrably the case when Ash and Goh are separated and soon face Zacian and Zamazenta respectively.

When the two are separated in the thick fog, the two soon encounter Zacian and Zamazenta. The two Legendaries are in their primary form for this initial introduction, and Ash is quickly jumping into battle as you’d expect. Pikachu launches an iron tail on the Legendary, but it flies right through him. At the end of Goh, his attempt to catch the legendary fails when a poke ball flies through zamazenta.

This first confrontation ends as soon as it begins, as the two Galar legendaries quickly disappear. With their disappearance, the fog lifts and now Ash and Goh have their own missions to continue the rest of the Darkest Day arc in the series. But if you’re familiar with the original games, you know very well that this won’t be the last time we’ll see Zacian and Zamazenta in action.
