Pokemon the Series Season 18 Episode 17 Good Friends, Great Training!

Ash is on the way to his next Gym Battle in a town called Anistar City. Along with Pikachu, Hawlucha, and Noibat, they take a pit stop by a large lake surrounded by beautiful greenery. There, they run into a pair of friends from the Kalos region named Tierno and Trevor. Tierno is known for his energetic dance moves, while Trevor is a Pokémon researcher who often takes notes on Ash's journey.

The group sits down for a picnic and soon discovers that both Tierno and Trevor are now Gym Leaders themselves. Tierno runs a dance-themed Gym in a nearby town, while Trevor oversees a Gym that specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon. Ash is thrilled to hear about this and immediately starts brainstorming for a potential battle.

During their conversation, they also discover that a Pokémon called Carbink has been spotted in the nearby hills. Carbink is known for its ability to create diamonds, and therefore is highly sought after by thieves. Ash immediately decides to search for the Carbink, hoping to foil any potential heists.

As they journey together, Ash, Tierno, and Trevor decide to train together for their respective Gym battles. They run through various exercises and training regimens, and even introduce some new dance moves to Pikachu and Hawlucha. Along the way, they come across a group of trainers who are accompanying a Carbink to safety. The trainers explain that they have been assigned to guard the Carbink, and that they have been training it to use its diamond-making powers for good.

Suddenly, they are ambushed by a group of thieves who are after the Carbink. Ash and his friends immediately jump into action to fight off the thieves. During the battle, Noibat evolves into Noivern, evolving into a more powerful sonic ability. The battle is intense and action-packed, but Ash, Tierno, and Trevor ultimately come out victorious.

After the battle, the trainers thank Ash and his friends for their help. They explain that Carbink's diamonds have been used to fund a variety of noble causes, including building new schools and hospitals. Ash is thrilled to have helped protect such an incredible Pokémon, and he and his friends celebrate their victory with a big dance party.

As the sun sets, Ash bids farewell to Tierno and Trevor, promising to meet up with them again soon. He continues on his journey towards Anistar City, more confident than ever that he can take on any challenger who comes his way.
