Pokemon Journeys has released the preview for Episode 102 of the anime series! Pokemon Journeys has officially crossed the 100 episode milestone, and now the series is kicking into high gear as it plans even tougher challenges for Ash Ketchum and Goh. Ash is higher through the ranks of the World Coronation Series than he ever has been, and Goh is closer than ever to achieving his dream of getting the chance to catch the Legendary Mew. Fans have seen the two of them challenging all sorts of major Legendaries head on, and now the series is getting ready for the next Legendary Raid Battle.
Previous episodes in the series have seen Ash and Goh taking on Zapdos and Moltres, and the next episode of the series is teasing the third and final of the Legendary birds, Articuno, making its appearance in the anime next. As Goh’s next trial mission in order to try out for the Project Mew team, Episode 102 teases that he’ll need to head to the Seafoam Islands in order to battle and somehow capture Articuno for the chance at making his dream come true later. Check out the preview for Pokemon Journeys Episode 102 below:
Episode 102 of Pokemon Journeys is titled “Trial Mission! A Freezing Raid Battle” and the synopsis for it teases the episode as such, “Project Mew’s next Trial Mission is to ‘have a raid battle against [Articuno].’ [Goh] heads to [Seafoam Islands], where [Articuno] is said to be, alongside [Ash], where he reunites with two others searching for [Articuno]: [Horace], his friend who wants to get Celebi, and [Ash’s] childhood friend [Gary]. Together with these two rivals of his who likewise aim to become eligible for Project Mew, [Goh] challenges the Legendary Pokemon [Articuno] to a Raid Battle.”
Whether or not Goh will be able to catch Articuno remains to be seen, but he’s had a surprisingly good track record when it comes to taking on these major raid battles. Though he and Ash have lost to both Moltres and Zapdos before (which makes this third battle seem like it might not go in their favor either), he’s also surprisingly captured the likes of Suicune. It’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility that the two of them get a victory here.
What do you think? Do you think Goh has a chance at really catching Articuno with this battle? Which Legendary Pokemon do you want to see show up in the anime next?
