[Leon summons Eternatus while showing it off to Ash and Goh, much to their shock]
GGoh
Yeah...[remembers Eternatus in the Darkest Day arc] I mean it was so over the top destructive. That was the reason I had Professor Magnolia take it.
We decided for the time being, we'd keep it in a place deep underground below the lab. Things is, staying asleep all the time isn't much of a life.
MProfessor Magnolia
Right. Eternatus has a deep connection to Galar particles. The energy that flows through the region, this is how Pokémon cannot be separated from the Galarian way of life. We must all learn to co-exist with Eternatus.
[Goh receives a notification on his phone, much to his shock.]
GGoh
Sorry, Ash. Looks like I won't be able to see your battle tomorrow. That was an emergency communication from Project Mew. I've got to pack up and leave ASAP.
Okay. You better go find Mew right away.
GGoh
I will and you better win that match!
Got it! [If Goh cannot watch Ash's match in person due to Project Mew, then who is going to root for Ash in Goh's place?]
Ash's final Masters Eight tournament match is today, isn't it?
GGoh
It sure is. Even so, I trust that he's going to win. See, we promised each other. Next time we meet, we'll both be smiling.
Yeah, you're right. [Okay, so Gary and Goh cannot see Ash's battle against Leon due to Project Mew commitments...make sense]
[Since Ash vs. Leon was happening at the same time, we get to see Project Mew. The Chasers had just landed on the island. Time to start the search but a little sightseeing full of wild Pokémon living there, first.]
GGoh
This place is teeming with Pokémon life.
HHorace
It's truly a Pokémon paradise.
QQuillon
Let's go. [Time to get back to the mission]
[At the mountain base]
GGoh
Does it have to be that tall?
HHorace
And it gives off a pristine vibe.
DDanika
Ancient fishermen gave it the name of Sharishariima.
QQuillon
A sound like an evil monster attacking humans.
One shouldn't even approach a mountain of horrors like that. Wasn't that the message? [Sure, unless there is something important to find in that area.]
DDanika
Geologically, this mountain is very important. It hasn't changed its shape in several hundred million years.
QQuillon
In ancient times, this might have been the axis or the centre of the world.
[While camping out with Grookey, Cinderace, Ash, Pikachu, Chloe, and Eevee, Goh rises from his chair and looks at Ash, preparing to come clean about traveling on his own]
Hm? [Chloe looks at the duo] What's up, Goh?
[Goh starts to hesitate, then smiles, unwilling to leave Ash for the sake of their friendship]
GGoh
No, it's really nothing. I'm sorry.
GGoh
[looking at the starry night] The stars are really pretty tonight, you know?
[also rising from his chair] Goh?
I'm taking another journey. [Both Goh and Chloe gasped in shock at what Ash just said] I'll be heading out with Pikachu, of course.
[Logs burning in the fire begin to tumble still, as Goh looks down, feeling betrayed by Ash's intention to continue his journey without him]
GGoh
[distraught] You're heading out... without... talking about it?
GGoh
And you're doing it... without asking anybody?!
GGoh
So we weren't... GOOD FRIENDS AFTER ALL!!! [tearfully running away from the camp with Grookey and Cinderace, taking his bag with him] WE'RE THROUGH!!!
[Ash and Pikachu are left stunned and perplexed by Goh's reaction]
The thing is... Goh is conflicted.
But he just couldn't decide all by himself. He thought that would betray your friendship. [taking her bag with her] Maybe you didn't realize how much you mean to him. You're the first real friend he's made.
[Chloe leaves the camp with Eevee in search for Goh, while Ash and Pikachu sees them off before going to find Goh as well]
