Making traditional Akala curry requires special ingredients. To get everything on their list, Ash and Mallow face wild Pokémon and more.
The episode begins with Ash,all geared up for a heated battle against Kahuna Olivia. But to his utmost astonishment,and chagrin,everytime he throws a pokeball,it fails to release the pokemon contained inside,and drops down ineffectively. Suddenly,a pokeball gets enlarged dramatically,and turns into a Voltorb,moments before exploding violently.
Ash wakes up panting heavily,drenched in cold sweat; emitting such a loud scream of sheer terror,that it knocks his sleeping classmates off their respective beds. Kiawe sarcastically thanks Ash for coincidentally helping him wake up,to which he smiles coyly.
At the breakfast table,Ash declares that,he just can't wait for his upcoming Grand Trial,up against Olivia. But both Professor Kukui and Olivia tell him to harness his enthusiasm for the time being,as he is yet to clear the island trial of the Lush Jungle,which is a mandatory requirement for being able to opt for the Grand Trial of the Akala island. Ash becomes a bit discouraged.
Kukui and Olivia inform the students that,as part of their daily curriculum,they will be divided into three teams,provided with maps with some basic information,and sent to a mission to fetch all the ingredients that are essential to prepare the island's years-old delicacy-The fabled Akala curry,which is what they will have as dinner! Kiawe and Lillie are paired together,followed by Lana and Sophocles,and lastly, Ash and Mallow. Before Ash and Mallow could have dashed out,the latter is held back by Olivia,who shares some secret with her,unbeknownst to both Ash,and the viewers,at this point.
First,they will have to collect a Mago berry. According to the map,the tree bearing the said fruit can be found at a nearby hilltop,which is correctly located by Ash. Upon reaching its base,Mallow and he ventures for the uphill walk,which is cut short,thanks to an angry group of Fomantis' combined Leafage attack,that forces them to retreat. With the group of Fomantis standing guard between themselves and the Mago berries,and peacefully slumbering to replenish energy from the sunlight,Ash and Mallow are forced to send a half-sleepy Rowlet for the job,who can fly to the summit and collect the berry,without disturbing and agitating the Fomantis. But the plan is proved ineffectual,when it falls asleep midway.Seeing no other alternative, Ash and Mallow start to carefully tiptoe to the summit,but unfortunately,get struck by a Parasect's Stun Spore attack in the midway. By comically holding breath and inflating their cheeks to the size of a balloon,they manage to prevent an almost unavoidable sneeze. Upon reaching the summit,moments before grabbing their prized catch,Ash trips over,and falls face flat-to his consternation,the sound of the impact rouses all the Fomantis,who fire Leafage and Solar Beam collectively at them. Even Rowlet's own Leafage proves inadequate to successfully counter such a powerful barrage of attacks. Ash is sent flying,and crashing downhill,but fortunately,with the Mago berry clasped tightly in his hand.
The next ingredient is a Revival Herb,that is,according to the map,native to the crevices of a nearby rocky mound inside the jungle. This task is accomplished rather quickly and easily,thanks to Pikachu's acute sense of smelling,who successfully helps them locate the particular point of rupture. With a little effort,Mallow and Ash squeeze themselves inside the extremely narrow grotto,and collect the herbs.
The final ingredient being a very rare Miracle seed,they enter a meandering and tortuous caveway,as directed by the map,with multiple tunnels branching off at every juncture,confusing them time and again. By using Rockruff's sense of hearing,they manage to navigate the right way out,after some minor accidents like being hit by an Alolan Diglett's Mud-Bomb,or Ash accidentally falling into a small pit,due to being careless.
Amidst a paradise of colorful flowers,and lush foliage,Ash and Mallow find a hollow tree stump,inside which,a wide variety of berries are stacked. Digging into the pile,Ash finds the Miracle Seed. But their celebration is interrupted,when a colossal pokemon angrily swats them away. Rotom identifies it as Lurantis,the Bloom Sickle pokemon,but its unusual largeness strikes Ash as it being not a regular,but a Totem Pokemon,which is hell bent on defending its territory from the human intruders!
Ash summons Litten,and orders a Fire Fang. The move strikes Lurantis,but it charges up a Solar Blade,and viciously retaliates,sending Litten reeling. After a brief skirmish,Lurantis calls for an ally,and it turns out to be a Castform,that transforms into its Sunny form,to the amazement of Mallow,who mistakenly thought that it was evolving,but is corrected by Rotom about the transformation being just a form change. The Castform powers up Lurantis' Solar Blade with Sunny Day,and at the same time,keeps incapacitating Litten with a super-effective Water Gun. Being outmatched and outnumbered,Ash releases Rowlett,which combines its powerful Peck with Litten's Scratch,to damage and eliminate Castform from the battle.
With Castform's defeat,the effects of Sunny Day also shut off,and Lurantis' Solar Blade becomes a two-turn attack as normally what it should have been. Taking advantage of the time it takes to unleash the move,Ash has Litten use Breakneck Blitz,which finally knocks out Lurantis. Mallow revives Castform and Lurantis with some extra leaves of the Revival Herbs,and Ash is awarded a Grassium-Z by the Totem pokemon.
Suddenly,Olivia pops out of nowhere,and starts congratulating them by warm embraces,which both startles Ash,and makes him feel awkward. It is revealed that,it was Olivia's plan all along,to bring Ash at the sight of the island trial,gathering ingredients for the Akala curry being merely a part of her grand scheme. Ash suspects Mallow's involvement in Olivia's plan,to which she sheepishly gives a nod. They celebrate Ash's victory,nevertheless.
While relishing the palatable dishes of the Akala curry at the dinner table,Ash is informed by Olivia,that he has now become eligible for the Grand Trial,in which she will be his opponent. Olivia also adds that,she is going to be a formidable challenge. Ash excitingly and enthusiastically contemplates his upcoming hurdle,as the sun sets off into the horizon.

Trivia
- Poké Problem: What is the Totem Pokémon that appears in today's episode?
- Host: Mallow
- Choices: Wishiwashi, Tapu Lele, Lurantis, Gumshoos
- Answer: Lurantis
- Ash, Mallow, and Lana narrate the preview for the next episode.
- The scene Ash battles Olivia in his dream is recycled of when he faces Hala in Trial and Tribulation!, including the background, Ash's position, and Professor Kukui's movements.
- In the scene where Ash wakes up, he is seen wearing the same white t-shirt with a Pikachu head resembling the Pokémon 20th Anniversary logo on it, that was previously seen in So Long, Sophocles!.
- Ash, Mallow, and Rotom read out the Who's That Pokémon? segment in the English dub.
Errors
- When Ash performs his Z-Move pose, he isn't shown wearing his backpack like in the previous shot. This is likely because the animation was taken from previous episodes where Ash does this pose.
- Additionally, Ash's Z-Ring is shown equipped with the Electrium Z throughout the battle, but it changes into the Normalium Z when Litten uses Breakneck Blitz.
