The preview confused me, I wanna know how the events work out first hand.
The episode starts with..
- Ash and Kiawe training on the beach with Litten vs. Turtonator.
- Litten growls a lot..
- Litten Fire Fangs Turtonator's tail and it does nothing.
- We see a shovel move across the universesand.
Opening..
- Training continues and while trying to use Fire Fang again, Litten trips over a shovel.
- Pikachu and Rockruff examinate the shovel, it moves towards Litten and it reveals itself as a Sandygast.
- Logically, it is angry at Litten.
- Backstory on Sandygast, Kiawe touched a shovel when he was young and got possessed.
- Rockruff is trying to scare it away, but Sandygast just turns around and scares it.
- Rockruff then uses Rock Throw and the shovel gets blown into the water.
- Sandygast is.. well.. distressed about being shovelless.
- Ash uses Rotom as a replacement shovel. Okay.. SM being SM.. -.-
- Enraged at the sheer amount of disrespect, Sandygast evolves into Palossand.
- This Palossand is massive. It uses Sandstorm and Rotom is still stuck on Palossand.
- Palossand literally swallows Ash whole.
- No worries, Ash can look out of its "palace eyes". But Rowlet gets swatted away.
- Oops, it's a sandtrap inside. Pikachu doesn't work either. It's a Ground-type.. -.-
- Lana and Mallow and Sophocles and Lillie show up.
- Rockruff is really feisty about this and trying to save his trainer from Palossand, which goes in for another swallow, but Litten kicks it away and gets swallowed by Palossand instead.
- Immediately on the inside, it gets tormented to an Absorb/Mega/Giga Drain.. Oh dear.
Break..
- The friendsquad goes in for the Water-type hit. It's useless, Water Compaction being a thing? As Rotom is also being drained!
- More talk by the friendz.. Pikachu suggests to bubbledive into the ocean.
- Litten taking the damage from Palossand, who enjoys being in a sandstorm.
- Shiron suggests itself. Lillie agrees in order to save her friends.
- Pikachu and Popplio find a Shellder.
- The team of friends attack with fire, leafs and rocks!
- Shiron attacks with Ice Beam.
- Palossand with the Shadow Ball.
- Mallow with the leaf tornado? Lana and Lillie join in. Steenee helps blowing with her ears? Sophocles is there... I guess.
- Shiron is exhausted, but it manages to freeze Palossand.
- Litten starts sharing its warmth with Ash.
- Popplio finds the shovel, but accidentally bubbles a Magikarp.
- The freezingcrew manages to completely freeze Palossand.
- Rockruff and Rowlet highfive. Cute.
- Popplio tries to bubblewrap the shovel again, but a Corsola pops the bubble.
- Ash tries to run out of the Palossand, but the ice is too slippery.. -.-
- Ash and Litten manage to break out through the wall.
- After that PrisonBreak, Palossand defrosts!
- Shiron is too tired to try anything again!
- Right at that moment, Popplio's bubble with the shovel comes to the surface of the ocean!
- All the pokémon help with getting the shovel in the bubble up to the top of Palossand, where Ash dislodges Rotom.
- Ash falls off of Palossand, but Charizard catches him midflight.
- The shovel gets stuck in Palossand again, and it is happy and leaves. -.-
- Later that night.. Kukui wonders why it suddenly turned dark and walks outside..
- ..only to be greeted by the HUGE Palossand that swallows his house whole.. TO BE CONTINUED!
