Ash and Calista Discover the Ancient Baltoy Time Machine

Lost in the Fog & New Encounters

• 💡 Ash and Pikachu become separated from their friends, Brock, May, and Max, while taking a shortcut over Kirikiri Mountain due to a thick fog.
• 🤝 They soon encounter Calista, an aspiring archaeologist, and her Pokémon, Baltoy, who is described as a Clay Doll Pokémon that coexisted with humans in ancient times.
• ⚠️ Ash and Pikachu save Calista's Baltoy from falling off a cliff, learning that electric attacks are ineffective against the Psychic/Ground type Pokémon.

The Aspiring Archaeologist's Dream

• 📚 Calista reveals her dream to become an archaeologist, despite her parents wanting her to be a doctor. She is guided by a mysterious book about ancient ruins and artifacts.
• 📞 She recounts a phone call from a woman urging her to come to Kirikiri Mountain with Baltoy to find a sought-after treasure.
• 🎶 Ash recognizes a song from Calista's book, which he heard a woman singing, believed to hold the secret to entering the Kirikiri Mountain ruins.

Uncovering Ancient Ruins

• 🗺️ Following the song, they discover ancient drawings from the Baltoy civilization, indicating a super advanced past.
• ⚙️ They find a "magic wheel" and learn that the Baltoy civilization's greatest invention, a time machine, was buried under rubble from an earthquake.
• 🤝 With Baltoy's help, they clear the rubble and uncover the invention, which is initially just a pile of rocks.

Team Rocket's Interference

• 🚀 Team Rocket appears, having followed Ash and Calista, intending to steal what they believe is the "most valuable treasure in the universe."
• 💥 They attempt to steal Baltoy and damage the magic wheel, but Ash, Pikachu, and Xatu (belonging to the mysterious woman) defend it.
• ✨ Team Rocket is blasted off again after Pikachu's Thunderbolt and Baltoy's Rapid Spin.

The Revelation of Time

• ⏳ As Baltoy performs Rapid Spin on the magic wheel, a future version of Calista appears, revealing the invention is a time machine.
