As Your Friend

How was everything outside?

Well...we still have no idea when the next Dynamax Pokémon will appear.

We've got Gym Leaders spread out and waiting just in case we have to jump in to help.

But we can't stop what's causing all of these problems until Lance and Silver's group takes down Giovanni.

I hope they're OK... It is Giovanni we're talking about.

Yeah, and Silver doesn't seem to be fond of working in teams, either.

We'll check on them!

Oh, your outfits!

What do you think? We got ourselves some sygna suits!

We also have new partner Pokémon, too! We're turning over a new leaf, so to speak!

We're counting on you, but remember, you'll be dealing with a very difficult opponent.

Yeah, we know! But no matter what, we're still gonna go!

Because we want to help our friend!

Yeah! And we won't let Team Rocket get away with anything here on Pasio!

We're on our way, Silver!

There are some signs that a pretty intense battle happened here...

Look! Over there!

What happened?!

Oh, Ethan...

It turns out Giovanni can now make his Pokémon Dynamax.

I tried to take him on with Karen and Morty, but he got us...

And then Silver came and challenged him to a battle, but...

Heh. I now wield the power of Mega Evolution and Dynamax. You're no match for me.

No, we're not done yet! We can still...

... ... ...

What, you're not going to challenge me again?

Hm... I see. You're unwilling to overwork your Pokémon that's already been hurt in battle.

That's the end of that, then. I'll be on my way.

Where do you think you're going?!

I still haven't personally met the owner of Pasio.

I'd like to pay him a visit very soon.

But of course, I can't go empty-handed. I have a few things to prepare.

Bwahahaha!

Wait! So that means...

Yeah. He must've been talking about Lear. His plan is to take over Pasio.

Let's regroup and prepare. They won't be able to do anything right away.

I hope Silver's OK.

I want to make him feel better, but what do I even say?

I'm sure he already knows all about his own shortcomings and what he needs to do.

All we can do is wait until he takes his next step.

That's why you all should stick with him until he's ready.

He's not always honest with himself, but he thinks highly of you all.

There's nothing more reassuring than knowing you have friends who've got your back.

Yeah!
