Pokemon Season 16 Episode 3 A Village Homecoming!

Ash and his friends arrive in a small village where they discover that Iris is very well known there. The villagers immediately welcome Iris and invite her to participate in the annual dragon race. The dragon race is a tradition in the village and involves a race between different trainers and their dragon-type Pokémon.

Iris is excited to participate in the race and quickly begins to prepare herself and her Pokémon for the competition. However, when the day of the race arrives, Iris is surprised to learn that her childhood friend Shannon is also competing in the race. Shannon and Iris used to compete in the race together when they were younger and Shannon is determined to win this year's race.

As the race begins, Iris and Shannon's Pokémon battle it out, each one trying to gain an advantage over the other. It becomes clear that the two trainers are very evenly matched and the race is going to be close. However, as the race progresses, an unexpected event occurs, which turns the competition on its head.

As the racers near the finish line, they are suddenly confronted by a group of wild Pokémon who have entered the race. The wild Pokémon are easily winning the race, using their natural abilities to outpace the trainers and their Pokémon. It quickly becomes clear that the wild Pokémon are not interested in winning the race, but instead are trying to protect their home in the nearby forest.

Iris and Shannon quickly realize what is happening and decide to work together to help the wild Pokémon. They call on the other trainers in the race to join forces with them and they all work together to help the wild Pokémon escape the village and return to their home in the forest.

As the villagers watch the wild Pokémon leave, they begin to understand the importance of respecting and protecting the natural environment around their village. They thank Iris and the other trainers for their help and apologize for the harm they have caused to the forest. Iris and her friends leave the village with a sense of pride and accomplishment, knowing that they have made a difference in the lives of the villagers and the wild Pokémon who call the forest their home.
