The new episode of Pokemon follow Ash as he inherits a strange new egg. The little shell is difficult to keep up with a first, but Ash comes to care for it almost too much. It doesn’t take Riolu long to appear from within the egg. Of course, Ash has to then earn Riolu’s trust before he immediately catches Riolu, but the Aura-Pokemon relents. Now, Ash has a future Lucario on his team, and that means the Kanto Hero is far stronger than what we’ve seen before.
