Seven episodes of the Anime are covered as we follow the journey of Ash and co to get Larvitar to Mt. Silver. Along the way a legendary beast is encountered, a legend is retold through slowpoke, and we meet a ridiculous gang of poachers. And that all leads up to an encounter with someone from another region with a Future Friend!

Afterward, we find Violet in trouble after a trade goes sideways and she finds help from a young stranger.
