Ep 21. Secrets From Out of the Fog!

Ash and his friends are on their way to the Humilau City Gym for battle with gym leader Marlon when they witness a strange phenomenon on the water. They see a mysterious figure walking on water, but once they get closer, it disappears into the fog. They soon arrive in a small coastal village where they meet an old man named Carl who tells them about a legendary Pokémon called the Swords of Justice.

According to Carl, the Swords of Justice were once human but were transformed into Pokémon after they fought for justice in ancient times. He tells Ash and his friends that the legendary Pokémon can only be summoned by a special melody played on a flute. The only problem is that the flute has been lost for years. However, Carl believes that the fog that surrounds the village is caused by the Swords of Justice trying to communicate with him.

As they explore the foggy village, Ash and his friends meet a young girl named Anthea, who is looking for her lost Gothita. She explains that her father is a scientist who studies meteorology and has been trying to uncover the secrets of the fog. They soon learn that Anthea's father has gone missing and decide to help her search for him.

The group splits up to search for clues and Ash and Pikachu soon stumble upon an abandoned research facility. They discover that Anthea's father was conducting experiments on the fog with the help of his Gothita. However, the experiments went wrong and caused the fog to become thicker and more dangerous.

Meanwhile, Carl takes Iris and Cilan to a cave where he believes the Swords of Justice are hiding. As they explore the cave, they come across a hidden chamber where they find the lost flute. They play the melody and the Swords of Justice appear before them. The group is amazed by the legendary Pokémon's power and beauty.

However, their joy is short-lived as they soon find themselves confronting a group of masked men who are trying to capture the Swords of Justice. With the help of Anthea and her father's Gothita, the group is able to drive away the attackers and keep the legendary Pokémon safe.

As the fog begins to clear, Ash and his friends say their goodbyes to Anthea and Carl and continue their journey to the Humilau City Gym. However, they can't help but wonder about the secrets that lie hidden within the fog and the mysterious Swords of Justice.
