Translator anon here. It’s been a while. Just here to say a few tidbits from the latest Newtype scans. First off:
>Episode is a tag “tournament” between Ash and Goh against Leon and Raihan
>The goal, obviously, is who can make the best cake decoration
>Koharu comes too because she wants to see the Ponyta again
>Raihan acknowledges that it’s been a long time since he and Ash last met and he is officially his new rival
>Goh came because he didn’t catch any Galar Pokémon last time
>Ash is going to form a deep connection with his Alcremie
>A special person appears in the episode
Also some directorial stuff
>The episode was specifically made to show different sides of Raihan and Leon’s character
>The episode was initially written as a comedy but Omode wanted to do something special
>The staff thought it was funny that Serena taught Ash how to bake when they traveled in “Pokémon XY” but Goh still ends up causing them to struggle
>The tournament isn’t supposed to be competitive but a way for Opal to humanize the “most popular trainers in the Pokémon World Championships”
That’s pretty much it. See you next time.
