The preview for Pokemon Journeys episode 127 starts with Ash talking to Leon and Sonia about the finals of the Masters Eight class. Behind the current Galar Champion, fans can see Eternatus, although an explanation for its appearance is not given. Our protagonist is seemingly given the day off before his encounter with Leon, so he decides to go visit the town with Goh.

The preview cuts to a Nickit bringing some berries to a group of Galarian Zigzagoons. Fans can then see a pack of Nickits fighting a group of Galarian Meowths while Team Rocket observes from afar. The preview ends with Goh’s Cinderace preparing a Pyro-Ball.

Pokemon Journeys episode 127’s preview shows that this next episode will mostly focus on Goh and his Pokemon. There is a high likelihood that Cinderace will somehow get involved in the war between the Nickits and Meowths. It seems to be firing its Pyro-Ball in the same alley we can see the previously mentioned Pokemon, meaning he will have to fight at some point.

There is no clear indication as to why these groups of Pokemon are fighting, although it may have to do with the Zigzagoons we saw at the beginning of the preview. This group may be invading the Meowths’ territory, causing them to start a fight. Nonetheless, there is also a possibility that Team Rocket is responsible for these events.

Lastly, fans are hoping Pokemon Journeys episode 127 will explain why Eternatus can be seen behind Leon. The chances of the Galarian Champion using such a powerful being in the finals are few, but not zero. Fans fear that Ash will have to fight this imposing legendary Pokemon during his encounter with Leon, which would be absolutely unfair for the boy.

Pokemon Journeys episode 126 was a recap of all the adventures Goh has been on since the beginning of the series. His phone suddenly started replaying the videos and photos the young man has been taking since he chose to partake in Project Mew. It was later revealed that Grookey was the one playing with the phone.

The second half of the episode was the usual recap, with the narrator talking about Goh and his biggest feat. Fans were able to see Goh's Pokemon train and become stronger once again, starting with Cinderace and ending with Inteleon.
