This episode is 9 minutes long, but the storytelling is so concise! I love that there are no battles, and that it just showcases an everyday life in the Pokémon world. I especially love how harmonious the setting is! The story itself is about a boy named Julian, who had a scuffle with his friend Lucas and feels bad about it. They're able to reconcile thanks to the help from a Gogoat that takes Julian on a sightseeing tour, which helped Julian to realize why Lucas had stopped that moment, and how wrong it was for him to get mad.

However, she does get used to them at the end. I do worry about her skin though, since Paldean Wooper and Clodsire both have a protective film on their skin that’s poisonous!
