Ep. 12: Meloetta and the Undersea Temple

12

Ash trains at Cynthia's villa when Ridley, a guardian from an ancient civilization, arrives with Golurk to retrieve Meloetta after hearing her song. Ridley initially suspects Ash of theft but realizes the error. Before they can depart, Team Rocket attacks, capturing Meloetta and using her song to summon the ancient Abyssal Temple. The heroes attempt to resist the assault, but their efforts fail against the overwhelming strength of Team Rocket, who are led by Giovanni himself during this confrontation.
