38

Chloe selects Pokémon fossils for her school research project, prompting Ash and Goh to accompany her to an excavation site. Goh is eager about the possibility of capturing a Fossil-type Pokémon, but Team Rocket trails them with identical intentions. Goh discovers a Secret Amber, which is later revived into an Aerodactyl after Team Rocket infiltrates the Restoration Room and tampers with the machinery. The newly awakened Aerodactyl escapes, leading Goh to focus on catching it while Ash is left to confront Team Rocket alone. This sequence highlights the conflict between the researchers' goals and the villains' interference during the fossil revival process.
