Ash and Goh have reunited with Sophocles at the Mossdeep Space Center in Hoenn! Sophocles is joined by his cousin Molayne’s Ampharos, who he borrowed for a project to bring a research satellite back home from space. Ampharos’s powerful tail light reaches the satellite, but a malfunction puts the mission on hold. Sophocles and Ampharos worry that the malfunction was their fault, and Ampharos becomes so discouraged that its tail won’t light up. But when Grookey gets lost, Ampharos saves the day, and its confidence returns. Back at the Space Center, Sophocles devises a plan to get the satellite safely home despite a course correction—and it works!
