Ash finally arrives at Mossdeep City, but before discovering the Pokémon Gym, finds a launch pad for a space shuttle used in investigating possible cosmic Pokémon origins. Only as Team Rocket takes control of the shuttle does Ash encounter the local gym’s twin leaders, Liza and Tate. Together they work to foil Team Rocket’s attempted stellar getaway, but in the process Max and Tate are trapped on board the shuttle. Our heroes manage to stop Team Rocket, but landing the shuttle will be a different story. After just a day’s tour, can Max safely negotiate the shuttle’s reentry?
